Stiles: So you're just like——out here raw dogging life, huh Der-bear?

Derek: Dog jokes? Really, Stiles?

Stiles: Oh my God, I didn't even mean to——hang on, you mean I don't actually need to take quadruple doses of ADHD meds to be funny? BECAUSE I ONLY HAD A DOUBLE DOSE TODAY AND OMG I'M HILARIOUS! Hashtag winning! Hashtag I was just born this way! Hashtag The Stilinski Life! Hashtag How many times can a puny human pump their fist into the air without passing out?!

Stiles: *wobbles on the spot*

Derek: *steadies Stiles with a hand on the puny human's shoulder*

Stiles: Uh... Hashtag what were we talking about??

Boyd: You want me to threaten the pharmacist again, Derek?

Derek: *Le sigh* Please.

I was today’s years old when I realized that part of my poolverine fixation actually began years ago with my first born child… sterek.

Having some wine and would love some asks!!

[sterekotypes]

Okay excellent points.

I like to think that it’s not even uncommon in the wolf world either. Derek grew up with the “you might not catch disease, but you could catch a baby, so practice safe sex” or something. Derek always used to roll his eyes because that happens to people like Josh from Satomi’s pack, not him.

He’s better than that, he thinks. And, of course, years later, he’s so eager to finally have something -anything- of Stiles that he’s not even paying attention when the condom breaks. All he can do is hope that he is not preg, and give a fake little laugh when Stiles says “Good thing you can’t get pregnant, huh?” as Stiles is walking out of the door.

Because being pregnant? That would be so amazing awful, and how would he even tell Stiles, huh?

He couldn’t possibly ruin Stiles’s life like that. Not when it’s just started. Not when he’s already taken Stiles’s teen years from him with all those supernatural crises.

Derek does what Derek does best. He clams up about it. Disappears from Beacon Hills for months 5-9, and comes back with baby Eli. He just stares at anyone who asks who Eli’s mother is, and eventually everyone just knows not to ask.

So, Derek relaxes into the silver fox we saw in the movie. It helps that Sheriff Stilinski takes it upon himself to help Derek. And if the Sheriff is helping because all he can see is himself trying to raise Stiles after Claudia died? Well, that’s no one’s business but his own.

And Derek is grateful because not only does he have help, but Eli can get to know his granddad and know what a loving pack feels like.

And, yeah, when Stiles comes to visit his dad it’s awkward. Unbeknownst to Derek, Stiles is heartbroken that Derek ran off and had a baby so close to when they slept together. Stiles thought maybe there could be more, but obviously Derek was not into him like that.

And the awkward is too much to handle, so Stiles comes by less and less. Until it’s been 10 years since Stiles had been home, only keeping up with his dad through FaceTimes, voice calls, and texts. His dad offering info about Derek without Stiles having to ask.

And that’s how they go on. Getting little bits of information from the Sheriff about each other.

And when Derek dies? Stiles tries to go home for the funeral, but he has a panic attack as he’s boarding the plane. The flight attendants won’t let him on the plane until he calms down. He does but he misses his flight. Meaning he misses the funeral. He didn’t want to go anyway. He didn’t want to see Derek lowered into the dirt. Not the way his mom was. The way Allison was.

But Allison came back, somehow. That’s what Stiles does on the plane ride back to LA, think about the “somehows” that would allow Derek to come back. And on the car ride to Beacon Hills, he starts to cement his plans. His eyes are burning with exhaustion from the drive, the plane, the tears. So, when he sees Eli for the first time in 10 years, he’s sure he’s hallucinating.

And when Eli gets a sniff of Stiles, he rushes to hug Stiles because he smells like pack. The kind of pack he didn’t have since his dad died, and he had to move in with Scott and Allison.

Stiles tries his best to keep Eli out his plan to revive Derek, but the kid just won’t mind his own business. And Stiles has a flash of being so grateful to his father for his boundless patience when Stiles was constantly getting into something.

And the more time Stiles spends with Eli the more he realizes just how similar he and Eli are. Stiles wants to feel flattered that Derek raised a boy who was just like Stiles, but all Stiles feels is scorned. Because here is living proof that Derek didn’t hate Stiles for his personality, and the more he thinks about it - the more confused he gets.

He stops being confused and starts being suspicious when he visits his third wolf pack and see three same sex couples with a pregnant partner.

Eventually it’s well over a year later. Eli and Stiles have been disappointed time and time again, but neither one wants to call it quits. So, they don’t. They push harder. Stiles is barely sleeping, hardly eating, and the Sheriff is getting more worried every day.

Scott, for his part, has been telling Stiles to just give it up. Move on. He’s been saying that from the beginning. At least Sheriff Stilinski and he lived and he should be glad that no one in his family died. Yikes.

That conversation did not go well. It started with Stiles ripping Scott a new one and ended with Eli living with the Sheriff and Stiles.

Eli nearly dies twice, sticking his nose in where it didn’t belong. Stiles tries but fails to ban Eli from the effort to revive Derek because Eli refuses to listen and sneaks in anyway. And Stiles can’t have his son going off and doing something dangerous on his own. He won’t lose two Hales to the Hale Martyr Complex.

One day, while Stiles is sitting on the stump of the Nemeton, something just clicks. Stiles presses his hands into the stump until they phase through. Until Stiles falls into the between, Bardo. And there is Derek Hale, smiling, waiting for Stiles to bring him back. Because Derek knew if anyone would, it would be Stiles.

This time when Derek Hale is resurrected, Stiles makes him swear he won’t die again. Derek, for his part, swore that when he got out of there. When he saw Stiles again, he would be honest. About everything.

So he is. He stumbles over his words. Can barely look Stiles in the eyes as he confesses his love for him and Eli’s parentage. His palms are sweating as he talks, but he muscles through. And when he’s done, Stiles kisses him. Hard. And when they pull away Stiles says “We will talk about this later. First, we need to go see our son.”

And Derek’s heart just cracks open and oozes over 15 years worth of love for Stiles that has been building up. Derek tosses his head to the sky and howls - long and loud. He gives Stiles a brilliant grin when Eli’s howl answers and just takes off through the woods towards Eli.

The wind and Stiles laughter whips through his ears as he rushes to his son.

And that’s what happened before and after the movie :)

Everyone on here talking about Stiles mpreg but let's think this through. What makes more sense, that Stiles carried Derek's baby to term and left forever? Or that Stiles knocked Derek up unknowingly on their single hookup where they both got so awkward afterward not able to express their feelings that he left for 15 years to avoid it and Derek was too self sacrificing to tell Stiles and became a single dad? And Derek, Mr. Strange werewolf biology who aside from general werewolf shit like aging differently and shifting, can also fully turn his body into an actual wolf. Now who is more likely to have this baby? A seemingly cis male human like Stiles? Or Werewolf Derek with his already strange werewolf biology?

December Fic Rec

the ruined surprise by EvanesDust - (Rating: G, Words: 1,500, sterek)

..the one where Derek ruined Stiles's plans of breakfast in bed.

Wrong Number by greenleaf - (Rating: T, Words: 9,833, sterek)

Even wrong numbers can get it right sometimes.

...Or one where Stiles dials the wrong number and keeps forgetting to change it, while Derek ends up going along for the ride and sees Stiles four times before Stiles meets him.

i want to say all those things that would be better unsaid by aeneapsych - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 24,552, sterek)

Derek is a lonely professor who decides to call a phone sex line.

Stiles is a poor grad student who needs to make a living somehow.

"One night stands were never this good. Hell, his previous relationships were never this good. Derek was so screwed, but right now he didn't care."

Through Your Eyes by Sagasimon  - (Rating: Not Rated, Words: 1,850, sterek)

Derek has a bad day and then there's this weird guy chatting him up on the street... He's kinda cute so Derek thinks "Why not?"

Waking Up Alone by justanotherbusyfangirl - (Rating: Mature, Words: 734, sterek)

Derek woke slowly, reaching across the sheets to find - Nothing. He frowned, opening his eyes to look at the empty space in bed next to him. The sheets were still rumpled, a divot in the pillow, but there was no one there. He rolled into the empty space, face planting into the pillow and inhaling deeply. The pillow still smelled like Stiles.

With the City Below by frek, sova  - (Rating: T, Words: 2,062, sterek)

Okay so maybe it's a post case celebration. It's the first case Derek let Stiles take the lead on and he had won and Derek couldn't be more proud. (Suits inspired lawyer AU)

What It Means To Stay by alocalband - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 7,611, sterek)

Derek's kid thinks that this Stiles person at daycare is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Derek eventually has to concede that his daughter may have a point.

The Walls Are Breathing In by secondstar - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 41,879, sterek)

Nothing could go wrong. It was just supposed to be a safe trip to the Nemeton. But this is Beacon Hills and things are rarely that simple. Welcome to the life of Stiles Stilinski. 

Or, that time that Stiles accidentally became a sorcerer against his will.

Is that knot a thing? by lizlybear - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 3,664, sterek)

Stiles is curious about knotting and tries to satisfy that curiosity but Derek interrupts him.

The Descendant by alikatastic - (Rating: T, Words: 1,800, sterek)

Stiles had never much thought of the afterlife. Never putting much stock into it. His mother died when he was a child, filling him with doubt about any god. So, when he died, Stiles honestly expected it to all go black. He didn’t expect to wake up and meet his ancestor or have a second chance.

[teencopandthesourwolf]

Stiles to Derek: Boop!

Derek, jumping backwards into a fighting stance: What the hell?!

Stiles: It's a boop, babe!

Stiles: *gasps*

Stiles: I, just, uh...

Stiles: *speed boops Derek approximately 2,437 times*

Stiles: Ha!

Derek: *recovers like a ninja and retaliates by pinning Stiles and kissing him senseless*

Stiles and Derek: *kissing*

Stiles and Derek: *more kissing*

Stiles and Derek: *still kissing*

Scott, walking in on them: *gasps*

Scott: Oh, okay, very funny, I get it; April Fools, right? Jokes on me.

Stiles and Derek: *breaking off from the kiss*

Stiles: Um, no, bro we're, uh...

Derek: In love.

Stiles: *tears up*

Scott: *also tears up, but for very different reasons*

Derek: *gets up and pulls Stiles up with him, grabbing him by the hand*

Derek: *walks up to scott, dragging Stiles beside him*

Derek: *boops Scott*

Derek: *in a completely monotone voice* Boop.

Derek: *throws Stiles over his shoulder firefighter-style and walks off*

Stiles: *shouting from around the corner* HE'S THE ANAKIN TO MY PALPATINE, SCOTTY! I BROUGHT HIM OVER TO THE BOOPSIDE!!

Scott: *has a nervous breakdown*

.

for @greyhavenisback, to hopefully make you smile...

and A VERY APRIL BOOP DAY TO ALL YOU STEREK LOVE-FOOLS OUT THERE! <333 (may the boop be with you! lol)

[sterekotypes]

Deaton did a terrible job keeping his “promise” to Talia.

If he really wanted to protect the Hale babies he would have made sure they had a place to live after the fire and grew up happy and healthy.

He should have protected them by making sure Laura was safe in the territory he was watching over.

He needed to give Derek alpha lessons when the power was forced onto him.

All this gif set proves to me is that Deaton doesn’t understand what a promise is.

things fandom has kept (1/?) ↳ emissary to talia hale, alan deaton

[emeraldvssilver]

Been meaning to write this Sterek fic forever -

Stiles and Derek are in an established relationship in BH. But it's Stiles' first year in College and no one has met Derek yet because of various Supernatural reasons stopping him from visiting.

Stiles goes as Little Red to a Halloween party on campus, and he lives with someone on a Theater degree who wants to practice special effects make-up. So he gets a massive "wolf" bite on his neck that looks ridiculously real. He posts a selfie of his costume (normal clothes, red hoodie, fluffy wolf ears, and bite mark) on the Beacon Hills group chat and his friends love it.

4 hours later he's in the club and gets pulled to one side. Derek's made the trip down to his College and he's fighting red eyes the whole time because even though he knows the bite mark is fake, his Wolf side is absolutely livid that Stiles is marked. So they basically end up making out against the wall.

Stiles' dorm mates are utterly confused by this because Stiles is in a committed relationship and yet he's making out with some guy in the corner.

Queue next morning hijinks when his dorm mates realise Stiles brought back a "stranger" back to his room and they all try to remind him that he's supposed to be in an exclusive committed relationship. And Derek's just listening in completely bemused.

RE: This ask on fanfic, fandom, and lestappen

(preface with, I love fanfic and fandom, and I've written for very big and small)

I have never experienced such bad fandom etiquette as I have with 1633. I wrote one multi chapter fic for the ship and 99% of ao3 comments I got were people asking when I'd publish the next chapter, which has always been a big no no in fandom. I deleted the fic because it felt bad that people didn't want to engage with what I had written, but, just ask about my update schedule. Also, people changing the date of their published fic to be more recent, so, it appears at the top of the 'recently updated page'! I have never seen this in any fandom before now! AO3 isn't Instagram! If you tag correctly, people will find your fic if they want to read it.

People are pushing 1633 constantly in very public spaces like Twitter, Insta and TikToK, where we know these drivers have accounts and look at comments/posts about them or on their own posts. Just today on Twitter I see Dan Howell (which what a fucking weird intersection of my past and current interests) being asked at a public panel about lestappen, just because he's mentioned liking F1 in the past. I know it gets easy clicks and engagement because it is popular. But, it's so far removed from behaviour that was ever considered acceptable in fandom.

I remember, back in 2013/14 there was a huge backlash to people bringing up fictional ships to actors/writers. There was discourse after every Supernatural or Teen Wolf fan forum/con panel when someone would inevitably ask about Destiel or Sterek. People would argue whether fanon and ships were appropriate to ask the real people behind the show about.

RPF is fine, I have written, currently write and will continue to engage in RPF spaces. But, there are boundaries that you must keep if you are going to engage with it. Tumblr and AO3 have always been considered locked fandom spaces. If a person goes onto these sites and searches themselves out, that's on them. But, it's implied in fandom that you keep to just these spaces or private chats

(personally, I'm sad I just missed out on the livejournal days... I got into fandom when everything was being moved over from there and fanfic.net onto ao3)

I understand younger social media users are used to an algorithm finding content for them. And on sites like Tumblr where the algorithm sucks or ao3, which doesn't have one. You have to search out the content you want yourself. Liking and kudos isn't enough, you actually have to engage in meaningly conversations and comments if you want to make friends. That can be scary! But, it's a soft skill that is slowly getting lost and with it fandom etiquette is going down the drain.

This is like...one of the last big serious ask I want to reply to on this topic because not everyone agrees with me (which, fine), but OP you put a lot of time into typing this up so I will honour that.

I think fandom, much like a lot of other things nowadays, have become less about fun and more about hitting a certain number of likes and interactions. That's why people push Lestappen on other social media even though most of us have explicitly said "can you not, thanks". The changing the date of the fic to push to an 'algorithm' infuriates me and is a personal pet peeve of mine. There's one that's doing that now on the Lestappen tag and I've point-blanked refused to read it literally BECAUSE of the date changing. People will read your fic if they want to, constantly pushing it to the top of the 'Date Updated' list does nothing except piss people off.

I will say I think the fictional ship discourse of 2014 was maybe driven in part by the fact that being gay was still seen as something much more 'novel' than even now. If we think about when marriage became legal in the US and all that...I still think though that it shows a level of self-awareness and self-regulation that we've lost in fandom. As my partner and I often to lament to each other, we've become so individualistic that people have lost the concept of shame. It's an idea that YOU are the exception and something should cater to YOU, instead of the other way round. In the case of fandom, this comes out as people acknowledging fandom etiquette in an abstract way, but still logging into their twitter account (WITH THEIR FACES ATTACHED! WHICH! THIS IS A TANGENT BUT IT BAFFLES ME! WHAT HAPPENED TO DIGITAL FOOTPRINT!) and posting about RPF. Fandom is not an abstract entity, fandom IS the people that interact with it–from authors to artists all the way to those who consume the content.

Also, I also JUST missed out on the lj days–the great migration was happening just when I was getting involved in fandom and I can't help but feel like I missed out on something special.

[christinesficrecs]

Hi!!!! I don't know if ur blog is still active but on the chance it is I'm struggling to find a fic I could have sworn I bookmarked but ig apparently I don't l. I wish ik the author or some specific plot points but I don't because I suck as a human being.

But what I do recall is there's two parts the 1st focuses on Stiles recovery from his abusive relationship with Theo and the second is him dealing with and overcoming his alcoholism.

Stiles is a musician in a band with Erica, Scott, & Isaac. Boyd is his bodyguard. Lydia is like their publicits/manager???? (Not 100% on that one) Theo is a baseball player. Cora, Laura, & Talia are in the fics as well. Cora I believe is a fan of the band I do believe. I wish I had more to go off of but I can't remember at the moment.

Anyway I would be eternally grateful if a beautiful sweet angel such as yourself was somehow able to find the fic but if not it's totally fine.

I'll settle for some fic recs. You may have a masterlist but any of ur favorites or go tos and if possible any good musician Stiles fics.

If you see this I hope you have a great day/Night depending on what time it is for you lol

Know your love and appreciated just for existing cuz anyone whose blog is centered around Sterek fics is an incredible human being who deserves all the happiness!!!!!

Also sorry for any typos I just got our of the shower and I'm in the process of getting ready for bed have to be at work 8am and it's about to be 11pm just trying to get ready for bed and hopefully get 8 hours of sleep so I'm not dead on my feet in the morning.

And sorry for rambling ADHD you could say I relate a little too much to Stiles at times

Hey!! I very much enjoyed your rambling! I love feeling like we're just getting coffee and chatting about sterek. 💙🧡💙

I think this might be the one? Hopefully! If not, check out these links!

The Standing Dead by standinginanicedress | 166.6K | Explicit

“Tell me you’re not seriously with Derek Hale.”

Stiles pretends to check that the guitar is in tune (of course it is, they tune all of these before he shows up), and then makes a face like he has no idea what Scott is talking about. To sell it, he says as much out loud. “Who?”

“Who?” Scott’s eyebrows disappear into his hairline, his mouth falling open in shock that Stiles would be so bold as to deny it. “Stiles, that guy is an asshole.”

“That’s fine,” Stiles waves it off, “because I’m not with him, so it doesn’t matter.”

[sterekotypes]

Hi! I would like to share On Blade's Edge with y'all. I already have the chapts written. Just need some polishing.

Read on for an excerpt:

At the floor of the weapons wall, were a couple chests. They were ornate, almost glowing gold in the firelight.

To the right was a desk. There was a map on it. And next to the desk with the map, was a dark haired man wielding a sword. No, not a man. A god. His eyes shimmered in the firelight. Stiles was trapped in their glow.

“How did you get in here?” His voice was gruff, unforgiving. Stiles pointed to the tent wall he had come in.

“No,” The man, King, as it appeared by the crown on his head, “how did you get past the guards?”

“What guards?” Stiles asked. This was the wrong question, because the King’s eyebrows crushed in on themselves.

“You are not a very good assassin. I expected more from the Argents than a doe-eyed street urchin.”

The blade in the King’s hand wavered in the light. There was a triskele pressed into the hilt. A Hale. A King Hale. King Derek Hale. The Wolf King. Stiles shuddered.

“I’m not. I-” Stiles couldn’t remember the last time he had been this shaken up. He took a half step back, but got tangled up in something on the ground. He flailed as he fell.

He landed among the blankets and pillows on King Hale’s bed. He tried to get up too quickly. The blankets wrapped around his arms, then his legs and soon he was nothing but a tangled mess on the floor. Stiles heard the slice of a sword being sheathed.

Footsteps announced King Hale’s approach. Stiles watched from where he tied. Stiles watched as Derek squatted to be level with Stiles on the floor. King Hale’s thighs bulged. Stiles had to work hard to keep his eyes from drifting between King Hale’s legs.

“Who are you?” The King’s voice was like smelted steel. Liquid. Hot. Extremely dangerous.

“Stiles.” he said as he sprung one hand free from the blankets.“What’s a Stiles?” King Hale didn’t make a move to release Stiles from the trap of bedsheets. He seemed to be enjoying Stiles’ struggles.
