what we have become

gen | teen wolf | concept

It hits him while he’s washing his face.

Scott is just. There, in the bathroom, in front of the sink. There’s bits of kelpie gunk on the sides of the sink from where he’s rubbed his face to get rid of it. Scott looks at it and can barely find it in himself to feel disgust, let alone guilt. His face is wet, water droplets rolling down his cheeks and onto his chin like tears.

He looks at his reflection and he doesn’t recognize the person looking back. It’s weird, because Scott remembers looking at himself yesterday just like he’s doing now, and he knew exactly who he was. Now… the person staring back is a stranger wearing his face. He has the same hair, the same jawline, the same eyes. But no matter how similar, whoever it is that is looking back at him is unknown.

The person looking back at him hurts people. The person looking back at him is selfish. The person looking back betrays, and uses, and is so, so cruel. Scott has said and done things that should horrify him, that would have horrified him a year ago. He said a family deserved to die in a fire. He violated a person’s autonomy. He was ready to kill a man because it benefited him. He left his best friend, his brother, to fight by himself so many times because he was too busy with a girl.

It scares him. It scares the hell out of him because Scott thought he’d be the kind of person who makes good choices in tough situations. He thought he wouldn’t change if he were to get power, and responsibilities. He thought he would still be kind.

But tonight he killed that kelpie without so much as hesitating. He saw it, and he lunged for it before he could even comprehend what he was doing. And yeah, the kelpie had been killing people, but Scott— Scott’s supposed to be better than that. He’s supposed to be the good one.

Derek had looked surprised. Concerned, even. Stiles had called out to him almost hesitantly, had stopped before his hand couch touch Scott’s shoulder. Scott hadn’t understood why until now.

What has he become?

(A monster, his mind whispers. And really, can Scott truly refute it?)

A look into what Scott could have been, had his character arc to become a true alpha in s3 been different.

Thanks to @darling-winnie for finally pushing me to write this, our conversation about Scott was really helpful! And of course thanks to the wonderful @oldefashioned for reading this over and encouraging me that it’s not trash lol

Too Much Of A Good Thing by GracieBirdie

Summary:

Stiles can't just leave Boyd and Erica chained up in a hunter's basement, and if the only person willing to listen to him when he asks for help is a formerly dead psychopath? Well, Stiles supposes he could do worse. But of course nothing in Stiles' life is ever just that simple...

Hii!!! How are you? Hope you are doing okay? I have read all your teen wolf meta and I loved it. The writers really tried so hard to make people love Scott and did other characters dirty.

Derek is not creepy in the first season, he is just looking out for himself and making sure that Scott doesn't die. What about when Scott kidnaps Liam? Isn't that creepy?

I'm doing great, thanks for asking!

No, Derek is not creepy in the first season. He had just come back to Beacon Hills after spending time with his sister out of state dealing with the emotional fallout of watching most of his family die in a horrific fire. If he had been perfectly well-adjusted, I would have thought that he was a sociopath, to be honest. Instead, he is focused on trying to rebuild a pack.

Derek didn't go about it in the right way, necessarily, but he was trying to do what he knew and what he had been taught. It's always important to remember that he wasn't trained to be the alpha--his sister was. Derek was working with limited knowledge and skills.

Most importantly, Derek gave each of them a choice.

Scott--on the other hand--had full knowledge and skills and still bit Liam and turned him and then kidnapped him.

He was acting out of impulse and not considering anyone else's circumstances, leading him to creating a ragtag group of "friends" that he emotionally gaslit into helping him. By making them feel guilty and beholden to him because he was a "true alpha" (gag), he used them to do his dirty work.

Unlike Derek, who was willing to put his own life on the line to save the members of his pack. And he did put his life on the line for them, several times in a row.

Scott did not.

Seriously, it's like the writers weren't even paying attention to their own writing, I don't what the hell was wrong with them.

[milkcryptid]

The fact that Scott led Aiden, Ethan, and Deaucalion live is so disgusting to me!!! They tortured derek and his pack! They killed Erica and Boyd! That tells me, honestly, that Scott is just selfish. Him disbelieving Stiles and pretending that he always trusted Derek proves that!!

What gets me the most is that in one side he's all up in his high horse getting so mad at Stiles "we can't kill people", but in the other hand he was willing to kill Peter to become human again, he had no issue using Derek's body against Gerard like that, said that Kate killing the Hales was probably deserved, had no problem blackmailing a chained up tortured Derek, demanded to know why he should help Derek when he was dying from the wolfsbane bullet etc etc,. His 'morals' apply to everyone but himself. Pretending he always trusted Derek is hilarious like "we were brothers" ?? he was so shitty towards him all s1/s2, didn't listen to anything Der tried to teach him, and let every single person that hurt his "brother" get out free with just a slap on the wrist.

You Left Me

Summary:

A house needed a foundation to build on and so did their pack but by the time Stiles got the pack to listen, they all blamed him. He didn’t understand why but during one pack meeting they pointed out how all of their problems somehow connected to Stiles. Stiles panicked because in truth he was the one who saved them time and time again. So how was he at fault?

AO3 Link

Stiles didn’t know where he was going as he ran through the forest. All he knew was he couldn’t go back. Home wasn’t home anymore as evidenced by the way his friends couldn’t stand to look at him. He thought he could stay and ignore how they avoided him, but he gave up after a week. The final straw, the reason behind him running through the forest, was a fight with Scott. He felt tears stream down his cheeks as he thought back on the conversation they had less than an hour ago.

✠ 🐾 ✠

“I don’t know what more you want from me Scott!” he shouted.

“I don't want anything from you. I don’t want you around,” Scott shouted back.

Stiles froze and his eyes narrowed. “Seriously? I haven’t done anything wrong. I defended myself. You know that, and I’ve already resigned myself to being ignored by all of you. I don’t know what else you want me to do.”

“You can leave. You can stop filling the halls with the scent of sadness and hurt. You brought this on yourself. You’re not allowed to walk the halls trying to make us feel bad for wanting nothing to do with you. This is all your fault. You can’t blame us for defending ourselves from you. I mean we know what happened to Allison and then Donovan. Who’s to say Lydia’s not next? Or Isaac? Or Danny? Or Jackson? It’s like the Nogitsune never left!” Scott yelled with a growl.

“Allison wasn’t my fault, Scott. That was all him. I fought—”

Scott snarled. “Don’t lie, Stiles. You killed her and you loved it. Stop using him as an excuse for how fucked up you are! Leave! If I see you again after tonight, I will kill you,” he spat.

Stiles felt his heart shatter. When he looked up again and saw that Scott was serious, he turned and ran.

✠ 🐾 ✠

The blood pounding in his ears snapped him back to the present. His shirt was soaked through from the downpour. It was late into the night and he didn’t know where to go or what to do. Why should he keep going? His dad intercepted a robber while he was off duty one night and was killed. His dad was dead and he had nothing and no one left.

Beacon Hills had been Stiles’s only home since he was born. It was eighteen, almost nineteen, years later and that was still the case. Through all the clashes with various supernatural beings over the years their small pack stayed strong but it was also fractured. Stiles did his best to mend the cracks in the foundation but it was almost impossible when they didn’t have one to begin with.

A house needed a foundation to build on and so did their pack but by the time Stiles got the pack to listen, they all blamed him. He didn’t understand why but during one pack meeting they pointed out how all of their problems somehow connected to Stiles. Stiles panicked because in truth he was the one who saved them time and time again. So how was he at fault?

Everyone had ignored him for some fault they found in him. Stiles knew their reasons were meritless, but it hurt so bad. He stopped caring. When he tripped on a root and crashed to the ground he didn’t bother even getting up. He just laid on the ground letting the tears stream down his face. He was so tired. He was tired of being alone, ignored, blamed, and a part of him was tired of living. It was a downhill slide from then on. Stiles closed his eyes, curled up into a ball on the forest floor and drifted off.

⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠂⠄⠄⠂

He woke with a start, his eyes wide as he tried to get his bearings. He wasn’t outside anymore and he looked down to see himself in dry clothes. He wondered how that happened as he looked around the space he found himself in. It seemed like a small cabin but he didn’t remember any cabins in the forest, and he would remember if there had been one because he’d grown up exploring every inch of it. He rubbed his eyes and blinked several times but the scenery didn’t change.

He looked at his hands and counted. 1, 2, 3…all the way up to 10 to prove to himself that he was indeed awake. He was cold and pulled the blanket closer around him. Wait! He looked at the blanket and then took a deep breath in through his nose. When the scent filled his nostrils it threw him into a pile of memories.

✠ 🐾 ✠

“Mischief!” a boy called out to him.

Stiles beamed and hurried over. “Hi, Theodorable!” he said giggling.

✠ 🐾 ✠

“Mischief? Did you ask your mom?”

Stiles nodded and held up a sleeping bag. “She said we can sleep in the tree house!”

✠ 🐾 ✠

“Happy Birthday dear Mischiefffffff! Happy Birthday to you!” Theo laughed and handed Stiles his gift.

Stiles gasped and squealed. “How’d you get his autograph?!” He threw himself at Theo and beamed.

✠ 🐾 ✠

“Don’t worry, Theo! I brought all your favorites. Movie night is on!” Stiles cheered

Theo curled up under the blanket. “You’re the best, Mischief.”

✠ 🐾 ✠

“Hello?” Stiles said quietly as he entered the house. He looked around at the now empty building. His breath caught and he teared up. “No! Where’d you go?” he cried out before searching the entire house, finding no one and nothing. He went outside and collapsed on the porch steps sniffling. “Theo.”

✠ 🐾 ✠

Stiles’s eyes snapped open and he looked around again. “Theo?” he whispered.

“Hey, Mischief,” a voice to his right said quietly.

Stiles whipped his head in the direction of the voice and came face to face with a guy his age. He was gorgeous and Stiles blushed lightly taking in the blonde hair, blue eyes, chiseled jawline (unlike Scott’s crooked one), and the smile. “H-Hi,” he replied quietly. He was struggling to hold back tears when he heard his childhood nickname spoken for the first time in years. Only his mother and Theo had been allowed to call him Mischief. Stiles didn’t realize how much he missed hearing that name.

Theo gestured to the couch. “May I sit?”

Stiles nodded and went to move his feet but Theo simply lifted them, sat down, and let them rest on his lap.

“You had me worried.” Stiles quirked an eyebrow and Theo continued. “I found you. Your lips were blue and when I touched you, you were so cold. I did my best to warm you up but I was scared I’d lost you,” he whispered and started rubbing small circles on Stiles‘s ankle with his thumb.

Stiles melted at the touch and looked down. “I’m sorry,” he said quietly. “I just had to leave. I guess if dying was truly my goal, I could’ve just stayed and let him kill me.”

Theo growled low at that but with a bemused look from Stiles, he cleared his throat. “Who?”

“Scott,” Stiles replied in barely a whisper.

Theo didn’t stop his growl this time. “He threatened you?”

Stiles nodded.

“Why?”

Stiles shook his head. “It doesn’t matter. Let’s just say I can’t go home anymore. Once I’m warmed up, I’ll get out of your hair too.”

Theo frowned and shook his head. “No. You’re not bothering me and I wouldn’t have brought you here if I wanted you to disappear.”

“But you disappearing is just fine?” Stiles asked, meeting Theo’s gaze.

“I—” Theo started but sighed. He swallowed thickly, struggling to speak with the lump of emotion lodged in his throat. “I didn’t want to leave. I was forced to. They threatened you. So, I left, but I kept an eye on you as best I could. Once I was old enough to deal with them myself, I did so.”

“Really?”

Theo nodded. “There was nothing that would ever stop me from coming back to you. I can back to you, came back for you, Bambi. I’m here.”

“Now you’re here?”

Theo nodded and met Stiles’s gaze with utmost sincerity. “I’m here.”

Stiles tilted his head, his fingers fidgeting with the edge of the blanket. “For how long?”

“As long as you want me here.”

“So, forever?”

“Is that what you want?”

Stiles swallowed and nodded before averting his gaze. “Yeah,” he admitted in barely a whisper.

Theo moved closer, his hand sliding up to grip Stiles’s thigh, the touch grounding them both. “Then I’ll never leave you again.”

“Never?”

“Never ever.”

“Promise?” Stiles inquired, leaning closer, unaware he was doing so but not pulling back nonetheless.

Theo shook his head, stopping just short of kissing the amber eyed man. “I promise.”

Stiles closed the remaining distance between their lips and sighed into the kiss, finally finding what had been missing all these years and vowing to never let go of Theo, to never let go of his happiness, ever again.

Melissa: “You have 10 pack members and 8 chairs. What do you do?”

Scott: “Go get two chairs.”

Derek: “The best eight get to sit down.”

Peter: “Kill two.”

Hello everyone, please endure my first attempt a gif set. <3

[lesbiradshaw]

i love characters who are willing to give up everything they have for the happiness and safety of others, especially their loved ones. i didn’t say his name but he came to mind didn’t he? scott mccall.

[kitkatwinchester]

Okay can we just talk about...

"Are you 100% sure that this is a girl and not an animal?" "Yes. Because Scott's sure."

THE AMOUNT OF FAITH HE HAS IN HIS BEST FRIEND I CAN'T!!

Also the way he just turns the opposite way once he sees Scott standing there with the "Scott you been listening?" and then looks at his dad pointedly, because he doesn't even have to SEE Scott to know that that's exactly what he was doing and exactly what he was thinking.

And the fact that Noah trusts that bond between the two of them and that THAT'S what gets him to back down a little on his skepticism...

AHHHH I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!

This really is SUCH a Sciles season and I'm HERE FOR IT!! <3 <3 <3

Also, while I'm talking about Sciles, let's also talk Isaac, shall we.

THAT WHOLE "getting it up" SCENE OMG I CANNOT WITH THESE THREE!! XD XD XD

Stiles: We need a real Alpha. Scott: *is offended* Stiles: You know what I mean. An Alpha who can do Alpha things. You know, an Alpha who can get it going. You know get it... Isaac: Up? Stiles: *nods* Scott: Great. I'm an Alpha with...performance issues.

STOP IT I CANNOT!!! YOU GUYS!! XD XD XD XD

I'm dead. I love them all. <3 <3

(WE LOVE BFF LOYALTY!! BEST THING EVER!! <3 <3 <3)

[mikhardwheat]

There are very few characters in Teen Wolf that actually deserve hate. The list can differ from person to person, and if we dig deep enough - we'll find sad truths about all of our favs, but one thing I can say for sure:

This show doesn't have unredeemable leads, they're just a bunch of scared kids. Literally every bad decision they make can be explained by their age, so being mad at them for this is, admittedly, dumb. However...

I mentioned before that they have responsibilities, some more than others. The impact they make? Fighting things that are older than the things they're learning in school? That might be quite a lot sometimes.

We saw them being manipulated by adults for 6 seasons straight, being betrayed by the same people over, and over, and over... They learned to forgive, but rakes still hit them in the nose every goddamn time. And they got used to swallowing the consequences instead of fixing their messes. As the teenagers do.

They didn't know what the hell they were doing and each and every one of them ended up with their hands painted with blood. Unintentionally or not.

Feel free to accuse them of things they did (that's the whole point of their flaws being shown), because keeping them accountable ain't necessary a bad thing.

My (very belated) @stetersecretsanta fic for @frogsandboxes. Omg this is so late, I’m really sorry. I’ve been busy since December and just kept pushing this back. I hope you’ll enjoy it :)

Summary: Just because Scott refuses to see the Argents for what they truly are - prejudiced serial killers sitting proudly on a mountain of innocent corpses - doesn’t mean Stiles will. It’s about time someone did something about the Argent Empire anyway, and what a coincidence - summer vacation is just around the corner.

–

Or, the one where Gerard Argent kidnapped the wrong fucking person to torture. Stiles has never subscribed to the policy of forgiving and forgetting anyway, not when razing the problem to the ground and salting the earth for good measure has always been a far better solution in the long run.

He doesn’t expect to have company.

It was short and stiff, full of disbelief and something raw under its skin. But, god, only Derek could make him laugh when his entire world was crumbling down.
