#scott and derek

[arlos-warm-drpepper]

Back when they were living together, did they share pants?

[kitkatwinchester]

WHAT!! AN!!! ENDING!!!!

LET'S!!!

F*CKING!!!

GO!!!!!

THAT is what I'm TALKING ABOUT!!!

THAT is the McCall Pack we know and love!!!

THAT is the UNBEATABLE TRUE ALPHA THAT IS SCOTT MCCALL!!! <3 <3 <3 <3

SCOTT IS FREE!!!

DEREK IS ALIVE!!!

PETER GOT HIS COMEUPPANCE!!!

EVERYONE IS OKAY!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I took a while to react, so order of events, shall we??

I mean, it means you're gonna get the really long babble about Scott and the McCall Pack first, but I DON'T CARE, because it was AMAZING!! <3

The WAY they BROUGHT SCOTT BACK!!

Look.

When Kira and Stiles first ran in, I was convinced that they were gonna try to hit that romantic cliche and have Kira be the one that brings him back, especially after Stiles tried and Scott immediately hit him down (which, ow, my heart).

But then, they went with platonic/familial again, and in the BEST WAY, because it was F*CKING LIAM!! (Because, don't get me wrong, I LOVED Stiles saving Scott in 3x6, and you know I always love me some Sciles, but doing that again would've been a little cliche, so to change it up like that was PERFECT! <3)

And with that AMAZING PARALLEL with that AMAZING LINE!!

"You're not a monster. You're a werewolf, like me."

And it F*CKING WORKED, because OF COURSE IT F*CKING DID!!

Because that's his BETA. His LITTLE BROTHER. His CHILD. And he is reciting back to him the exact same thing that Scott said to him all those episodes ago.

And it GETS THROUGH TO HIM!!!

Like, I don't think you understand how much I LOVE THAT!! There are sooooo few shows and movies out there that truly understand how important platonic relationships can be, and Teen Wolf freaking NAILS IT!!

And BECAUSE OF THAT, Scott gets out, and he immediately pegs Peter, because he just KNOWS.

And the way that Malia backs up, because if there's anything the McCall pack has taught her, it's loyalty, and THAT is a betrayal.

And everyone in the pack tries to come to his defense, to get at Peter before Peter can get at Scott (especially Kira <3), but he tells them all to back off, because this fight is between him and Peter, and they both know it.

And then the FIGHT SEQUENCE. Scott trying so desperately to pull his punches, but trying so hard to stay alive, all while Peter is telling him that if he wants to win, he's gonna have to kill him.

But he DOESN'T, because killing him would be EXACTLY what Peter has been asking for and trying to prove, and that's not who Scott is.

And he's trying, and he's losing, and then it's F*CKING LIAM AGAIN!! Liam, stepping forward because his Alpha/Big Brother/Dad is in trouble, and Peter just RIPPING ONE at him to keep him at bay.

And the way that Scott and Liam LOOK AT EACH OTHER (there are so many meaningful glances in this episode I cannot <3 <3)!!! The way Liam looks so scared, but also so clearly angry and protective, and Scott sees that, and he gets back up, with a new strategy and new determination, because this isn't just about protecting himself--it's about protecting his pack.

It's about being an Alpha.

And then he's on the defense, and he's using his wits and strategizing until he can get the upper hand, and his pack is watching him in awe and pride, because THIS IS THE SCOTT MCCALL THAT EARNED HIS TRUE ALPHA STATUS!!!

And he WINS!!

Because he's SCOTT F*CKING MCCALL!!!

And then we get that LINE!!!

"You were never an Alpha, Peter. But you were always a monster."

And then that SHOT.

The lighting, the framing, the almost holiness--

You wanna know what's so special about Scott, Kate?

F*cking THAT!!

THAT RIGHT THERE is why Scott McCall is the best, and why no one can defeat the McCall Pack.

F*cking try us.

And then there's DEREK!

Derek, who we all thought was gonna die, who somehow...evolved?? And can turn into a FULL BLOWN WOLF now. JUST LIKE HIS MOM!!

Oh man, I can't WAIT to hear more about that, because that is so cool, and Derek's whole arc this season has had so many interesting moments, and I can't wait to see where they take that next.

And then there's PETER!

Peter, who finally gets the justice he f*cking deserves.

Not death.

Not Alpha status.

No.

F*cking prison.

F*cking EICHEN HOUSE.

With what we have now established as the worst person you would ever want to interact with in Eichen House for a cellmate.

He's not dead.

But he's gonna wish he were.

And THAT'S exactly how I like it.

F*ck you, Peter.

You f*cking deserve it.

And they did SUCH a good job of wrapping up all of the elements of Season 4 while still setting up for Season 5, and we got alllll these small little character moments and meaningful glances, and I am just HERE FOR IT!! <3 <3 <3

The Chris and Kate conversation about Allison, and what truly caused her death, and the fact that he still couldn't kill her, because it's still his sister, but he knows deep down, just like he said, that there's no more saving her.

The Chris and Scott conversation, where we find out Chris agreed to find and hunt down Kate with the Calaveras if it meant they would leave the pack alone, because he loves those kids, and he doesn't want anything to happen to them.

The little side hug and affectionate look between Scott and Kira, now that they're both finally safe and together again.

The meaningful look between Scott and Stiles, saying so much about how worried they both were, and how they know it's not the end of their struggles, but they're glad they're both okay and still here for each other, because that's what they do.

The way that Scott and Derek looked at each other in that silent conversation (also quick aside, LOVED Braeden's concern for Derek and excitement when he was alive), and with that little nod, acknowledged that they'll always have each other's backs, and they're both okay, and alive, and HERE, and they're grateful for it.

The hug between Stiles and Noah when Stiles and Malia finally make it back safely. The way Malia gets brought into the hug, even in all of her awkwardness. The fact that, as happy as Noah was to see both of them alive, he got the ultimate payback in the only way a Stilinski can by handcuffing his son to the desk. "Bring me back a slice?" XD

The fact that Kira GOT HER FIRST TAIL, and she got it from the obsidian that ultimately saved her life, and she's getting better and stronger and even more amazing by the second.

The reactions from absolutely everyone as Liam desperately tried to explain to Coach why they missed practice, with Coach not believing a single word they were saying, and Scott and Stiles dropping their heads down at the same time (I know where that gif is from now!!) because they wouldn't believe it either, but frankly, they don't have anything better.

The SMILES that Scott and Liam give each other (bonus points for Stiles's ever-present annoyance XD) when Coach tells them to make sure they look out for each other and have each other's backs, because YOU KNOW THEY DO!! ALWAYS AND FOREVER!!

And then last, but certainly not least, the fact that Lydia gave Parrish the Bestiary, and is gonna do everything she can to help him figure out what he is and what he can do.

Look. I said it before, but I am going to reiterate it.

With the writing, the storytelling, the acting, the cinematography, and just the general amazingness of that season, it is a VERY close second, and if it had just a FEW more Sciles moments that were higher on my "Best Sciles Moments” list, it would've won out as the favorite season, because holy sh*t was it AMAZING!

As terrified as I am for Season 5, because I KNOW the pack gets split up, and I DON'T WANT THAT GOSH DARNAT, I am also VERY excited to see all those little character moments and storylines and writing and acting and beautifulness develop even further--even if I have to get through a LOT of whump and angst to get there.

What a season.

What a ride.

Season 5, here we come (but...after I get some sleep lol).

As many gifs as I can fit, because there was soooo much beauty there and I want to express ALL OF IT!! <3 <3 <3 <3

(GOD I LOVE THEM ALL SO MUCH!!! THAT SEASON WAS SERIOUSLY SOOOO AMAZING, AND SOOOO WORTH THE THREE HOURS OF SLEEP I'M GONNA GET. XD <3 <3 <3 <3 <3)

P.S. This is a super random aside, but can we just appreciate that neither Scott nor Liam has seen Star Wars?? Oh boys. I love you both so much. 😂❤️

Let it break or you'll never breathe by salvatorestjohn

Author summary:

"We all have. But he helped us tonight, and for the last few weeks. We can't just hold him to the mistakes tha—"

"Killing you wasn't a mistake," Derek cuts him off, his words almost a growl. His eyes flicker blue, turning back on Theo. "Well, it definitely was on his part if he thought it would go the way he wanted it to."

Scott stops, going still.

Reasons to love the fic: This is a lovely look at Derek feeling protective toward Scott. And Scott facing the fact that he doesn't tend to value his own life as much as others. It's a good look at how this confrontation may have gone.

Please let the author know if you enjoyed the fic!

Stiles is such a fucking it girl. He hangs around a bunch of mysterious brooding hot people and is always at the center of some murder mystery and or crime, which he is usually the one to solve because he is smart as fuck. And his dad is the sheriff. He is the center of Beacon Hills and runs an entire fucking wolf pack and a half and is also the anchor for one of the alphas.

It girl

[casually-eat-my-soul]

Love me an au where stiles doesn’t know that Derek is a werewolf and is always talking about how much he likes him where Derek and co can hear.

Stiles is like “look at him Scotty, he has shoulders that are built to moan into, how could I not want to date him”

And Derek is fucking dying off the to side, face red as hell. His sister are making fun of him, Erica, Boyd and Isaac are making fun of him, even the sheriff is making fun of him. All Derek is doing is thinking about is upping his work out routine

[stickyfox4]

scott:derek isn’t answering his phone

stiles:let me try

lydia:stiles we’ve tried about 7 times each he won’t pick up

stiles:(calls derek)

derek:hey stiles what’s up?

[incorrect-teenwolf-quotes]

Scott: What—what the hell is this? Did you…with Derek? Derek Hale? Fuck!

Stiles: Scotty! Breathe!

Scott: Don’t you tell me what to do, Stilinski!! How long has this been going on?

Stiles: Since New Year’s....

Scott: Oh god. And who else knows about this?!

Stiles: Literally no one but you. And Peter.

Derek: And Isaac, Erica, Boyd.

Stiles: And Jordan

Derek: Oh, and I told Cora.

Stiles: Aw, I didn’t know that.

Derek: Yeah, she was really happy for us.

Stiles: Oh, I can’t wait to see her again. She’s really—

Scott: Okay! Shut up, okay? The both of you! I need to think.

Stiles: Don't tell my dad!!!

Scott: Seriously?!

Stiles: I haven't told him!

Scott: Oh, gee, Stiles! I’m sorry to interrupt your process of you fondling with the Alpha, but you’re the one who decided to put your dick into the only heir left of the Hale family!

Derek: Technically, if my parents find out I slept with Stiles, I’d be disowned anyway—

Scott: NOT TALKING TO YOU DEREK

[screamo-yaoi]

I love when people make Scott the bad friend in fics. I know Scott is such a puppy in most peoples eyes and they say that it hasn't been easy for him but FUCK that. IMO he was such a bad friend to Stiles. He was so quick to shoot Stiles theories down and ignore him when Stiles was always the first one there for him. I love fics where Derek and his pack take Stiles in and Scott is just confused but we all know why. Like yes, push Stiles away so Derek can pick up the pieces. Stiles joining the Hale pack is one of my fav tags. Idk. I just also didn't like Scott at all in the show.

[arlos-warm-drpepper]

Everyone’s always talking about how Scott and Stiles are like brothers but everyone always forgets this scene.

Scott and Derek are brothers.

[kitkatwinchester]

MY HEART!!

OMGGG.

POOR LIAM IS SO SCARED I HATE IT!!

He is a BABY, and he's ALONE, and he wanted Mason to stay with him SO BADLY, but he couldn't really explain why, and I just...the poor baby. :( :( :( :( :(

Scott please help your Beta. Let him stay at your house for a few days or something, PLEASE. It would totally make him feel better. I hope.

And then that conversation between Scott and his mom....

He wasn't gonna tell her. You could see it. He was racking his brain for any other dumb excuse he could come up with, but then, because it's Melissa, he finally decided to be honest with her, and her reaction, just...

"Scott, you can save people's lives, but you cannot save them from life."

HAVE I MENTIONED THAT I LOVE THE WRITING IN THIS SEASON?! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

And then the scene where he returns the money...

Derek understands this boy and loves and cares about him so much and I just..

Meanwhile, Scott won't let Derek hide in about his worries in regards to his current state, physically and emotionally....

I love their relationship so much. <3 <3

All of that said, if Derek doesn't care if Peter gets his money back...can Scott and Stiles keep some of it? XD

Oh, and of COURSE, the adorable little Stalia scene, when she realizes that Stiles is trying to find her mom, and it makes her wanna kiss him...

Again, Stydia is endgame in my brain, but Stalia is cute, and I can't deny that.

I JUST LOVE ALL OF THE RELATIONSHIPS IN THIS SHOW, OKAY?!

In other news, I am VERY worried about Deaton, but he's DEATON, so he'll be fine...right??

*cries*

*for multiple reasons*

Anyways.

(It's not a gif, but I am OBSESSED with this line, and this scene, so it's going on here. XD <3 <3 <3)

Update: "If you don't wanna be with us, that's okay. But don't push your friends away too." SCOTT I CANNOT I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!! That said, please pick up on his trauma, because he is clearly not going to tell you, and you, of all people, should know what a nightmare/daymare looks like after everything with Stiles for all of Season 3. Though, admittedly, as close as you already are with Liam, noticing odd behavior in Liam and noticing odd behavior in your best friend is very different, so I'll allow it lol. Anyways PLEASE TELL HIM LIAM! I promise he can help, and you almost hurt yourself as a result, so PLEASE TELL HIM.

[jade-bright]

Derek: I only said I love you to three people. My mom, my grandma, and Stiles when he was dying from the bite back before the fire. I only regret one of those

Scott: which one?

Derek: Stiles. He healed 2 days later, so I just looked like an idiot

Stiles: we're mates

Derek: still

[sototallynormaliswear]

I'm kinda bummed that more people don't care for Isaac and Stiles' canon dynamic

you put them anywhere near each other, they are already fighting, insulting everything about each other, the haircut the trauma the outfit, no bars held. Isaac puts his hand too close to Stiles' face, stiles bites him. they have a staring contest while Isaac slooooowly pushes all of his stuff to the ground

but Isaac is one of the only people to go "hey stiles I think you're really fucked up are you straight up dying??" and stiles refuses to answer so Isaac is immediately more on edge. and Isaac was trusted to finally trap the nogistune, which I imagine stiles would have some pretty heavy sway over.

also, the scene at the lunch table? "you could try being helpful for once" "for half my childhood I was locked in a freezer so being helpful is kinda new to me" "you still milking that?" it's so easy to read this as stiles being a dick (because he kinda is) but watching back season two, Isaac is actually fairly reluctant to talk about his father, even to people that FOR SURE know what happened. further more, stiles just doesn't care in the same way about the pack that other characters do, so the pack isn't trying to justify themselves to him. so Isaac doesn't want to talk about it and stiles isn't pressuring him, but suddenly its four months later and Isaac is bringing it up casually and stiles isn't surprised about ANY of that. and they both refuse to skate around it despite that fact that that is one of their strongest skills. whether or not Isaac actually uses his father's abuse as a way to get out it isn't QUITE as interesting as the way that the two of them seem comfortable talking about it, especially when everyone around them DOES seem visibly uncomfortable

anyway. those two are my favorite pair of angry cats. they would die for each other. last week Isaac ate Stiles' homework. about a month ago stiles broke into his house to hide his spoons. they got each other for secret santa, Isaac got him a box full of pennies and a bottle of his mom's perfume stiles got him bottles of dirt and a handknit scarf

[theking-mustdie]

how it feels to be a teen wolf fan in the year of our lord 2024

[scottywolf]

Stiles: When I was a kid, I always wanted to be a magician. Scott: Tell them why you stopped? Stiles: I... I almost cut someone in half with a saw. Derek: What the fuck?? Isaac: What kind of kid were you? Stiles: I didn't know a magician was fake! I thought they were real! That's why I didn't become one. Isaac: That's why?? Derek: Not you nearly cutting a kid in half?! Stiles: The kid was fine. My dad stopped me before I could hurt him. Isaac: Poor guy. At least he's safe from you now. Stiles: Huh? He's standing right beside me. Scott: I'm the kid. Derek: And you still ended up being best friends?! Isaac: I take it back. What's wrong with the both of you?!
