the distance between us derek x stiles, e, alternative universe, complete

“Alright,” Jordan says, stepping up next to him and pushing him forward. Derek follows when he motions him up to the counter, relieved, because he may be the alpha but Jordan’s his captain, and he’s more than willing to let him take the lead. “You’re going to get him some coffee, and when you give it to him, you’re going to ask if you can get his phone number and if he’d be interested in a date when the season’s over. Offer to take him to a Guardians game or something. We’ll let Allison and Kira plan out the rest of your life tonight, but take it shift by shift until then, Chief.”

“I take full responsibility for this,” Allison says, joining them at the counter and giving her drink order to the barista. “I should have taught him how to date back in college.”

“I would have ignored you,” Derek says, sliding his card back in his wallet after they’re all done ordering. He hadn’t dated much in college—he hasn’t dated much at all since either if he’s being truthful, and nothing that could even resemble a relationship. A few dates during the off-season, a hook-up occasionally if he needed it, but Derek’s always been fairly content to be single.

Until he got to know Stiles.

my @sterekcollabang is here! i was so lucky to work with @thotpuppy and to have @missanniewhimsy holding my hand for two literal years while i wrote this. it's been a labor of love and i am overjoyed that i am finally able to share it!

[christinesficrecs]

Hey Christine! Hope your holidays are going well, I was wondering if you could help me find a Sterek fic? It’s a sour Derek and stiles being hockey players and stiles gets diagnosed with lupus. Stiles and Derek are also hiding their relationship from the team Im pretty sure. I can’t really remember much else 😅 thanks!

Hey! Happy Holidays!! 🥳 I think you're looking for this one.

Two Minutes for Holding by captaintinymite (augopher) | 121.4K | Explicit

There were three things college hockey players Derek Hale and Stiles Stilinski knew for certain. 1) Their lives revolved around hockey, 2) They were madly in love, and 3) Derek was so far in the closet he might never find his way out.

They'd been together for two years now, and for two years they'd been a secret with only a few people knowing about them. Yet Derek's fear kept them from moving forward: fear of his family's rejection, fear of his sexuality tanking his father's career, fear of the rampant homophobia in professional sports. The ruse was growing thin.

Something had to give.

Or: The story of how one epic NCAA Championship run and college, served as the backdrop for some of life's great hardships.

[casually-eat-my-soul]

Listen I know someone has probably thought this up but figure skater and hockey player sterek au

Pretty boy stiles figure skating after hours and Derek catching him practice his routine and just being so gone on him. All of his friends making fun of him for falling for the pretty figure skater out of his league

I'd absolutely love some sterek fic recs because I'm trying to broaden the ships I read. I've watched the first 3 seasons of teen wolf but haven't read any fics and don't know where to start. I'm fairly open to reading any content, although I'm not the biggest fan of like the common school/coffee shop etc AUs.

Also I love how you're gotten into blogging hockey recently. Have you read any hockey rpf since getting into nhl? Personally sidgeno and mattdrai have my heart, but like I said I'm looking for new ships to read like sterek.

WOOOO LET'S GOOOO!!

As always, read the tags etc etc. Probably a lot of these will be author recs. I will say Sterek has the potential for an age gap concern but I don't read fic where that's written as a predatory thing, FWIW, but I do read some where Stiles is 17 but where I feel like it's handled at least somewhat gracefully

Gravity's Got Nothing on You by @zosofi is great - I really like all their stuff actually!

@kalpurna's Fascination and @drunktuesdays' bigger, longer and uncut are both *gems* - so funny.

We've Written Volumes (in Blood and Scars and Ink) by @notthequiettype is absolutely brilliant, one of my fav fics of all time, way up on my reread regularly list. They only have one other Sterek but I love that one too (and they write hockey rpf but I haven't really dived in there yet!).

The Moon's Gonna Follow Me Home by @turningterrific is stunning. They're SUCH a good writer, although sadly this is their only Sterek (but they have written some amazing hockey RPF as well!).

Every stumble and each misfire by @everchanginginks is fucking phenomenal. True story, I read this fic and then didn't keep track of it but it stayed in my brain, and I spent literally HOURS combing my AO3 history to find it, and when I did, I promptly downloaded it and created the "Best Ever" collection on my Kindle specifically for this fic.

Everything by @suburbanmotel. They are an incredible writer and even more incredible person and I'm so lucky to call them a friend!

I really love @lunacanislupus-22-blog writing but particular favorites are: Feel it like a fever, burning through the night , Spirit grows when love goes away and I know that you love me, even when I lose my head (and I'm not normally one for amnesia fics because they make me SO ANXIOUS but this one is SO good).

Cornerstone by Vendelin is really good too (mind the tags on this one).

By Any Other Name by @entanglednow is fucking phenomenal (and again with the amnesia fics?!?!) and so so well-written. Check out all their stuff!

I really love @devildoll's writing very much a lot! Particular favorites include: Come with Me and Walk the Longest Mile (and I don't usually gravitate to post-apocalyptic fic even though I love the genre in fiction but this one is fucking brilliant); Stand Fast in Your Enchantments (painful and so good); My Heart Comes Tumbling Down (OH MY HEART) and Love, Like a Sentence of Death.

There's Monsters at Home by @wellhalesbells | calrissian18 is a classic and really good! They've written a ton of really great fics (the Hilary Duff lyrics one is a another personal favorite!)

Not Quite Lost (Not Quite Found) by @alocalband is gorgeous. Just. beautifully written.

stuck in reverse by @crazyassmurdererwall is also really good! Definitely check the tags on this one, as it is Stiles still in HS.

Start Small, Like Oak Trees by smallbirds is really lovely. Everything of theirs that I've read, I've really liked.

Okay, just a couple more I promise!!

The Difficult Kind (series) by whiskey_in_tea is an old one but really really wonderful.

The First Date series by @halffizzbin - the whole thing is delightful but I absolutely adore the final installment!

I will note that many of these authors also have Hockey RPF fic, JUST SAYING (I really am fascinated as to what that pipeline is??). I've read a ton of hockey RPF as well (sidgeno for sure) and I'll check out mattdrai now!!

Anyway, hope this helps as a place to start!!

[wheredidhiseyebrowsgo]

hiii, I'm so appreciative of what you do lol! I suck at finding good fics, do you have any ice skater/hockey player sterek? I'm not really very caring on how mature its going to be, I just wondered if there's any out there, thanks again! <3

I sure do!

Don't let go of me by PumpkinkQueen

Christmas should be a merry time to celebrate love and affection. Unless you beloved boyfriend is an asshole. Then you do all the celebration just the same but you may get your ego and your butt bruised along the way.

First Date Skate by 4lw4ys_a_fri3nd_n3v3r_a_l0v3r

(1/1 I 2,440 I General)

“Ijustreallywantedtokissyourightthen,” Stiles muttered under his breath in a rush. Had Derek not been a werewolf, he would never have heard it and he certainly wouldn’t have been able to understand what had just been said.

Derek Hale and the Ice by Argabarg

(1/1 I 2,466 I Mature)

Derek reflects on what it would mean to be the first openly gay NHL player... Is it worth it to finally be with Stiles the way he desperately wants to?

Holding You Up by isthatbloodonhisshirt (wasterella)

(1/1 I 4,539 I General)

“This place isn’t going to last long if it doesn’t take care of its skates,” Derek said before he could help himself.

“What?” Stiles blinked at him, then looked down. He laughed. “Oh, no. These are mine.”

What?

“What?” Derek said, repeating his thought aloud.

“The skates,” Stiles clarified, motioning them, as if Derek didn’t understand.

Oh, he understood perfectly, thank you very much. Why did Stiles own skates? Why did Stiles own skates?!

His day was about to get worse, wasn’t it?

“I used to play ice hockey when I was younger. Scott and I switched to Lacrosse in high school, but I’ve always liked skating, so I got myself some skates when I was fifteen or sixteen. They’re a little tight, but they still fit well enough. Figured there was no point in paying to rent skates when I have my own.”

Derek was right. His day just got worse.

The One with the Kiss Cam by nerdfightingwhovian

(1/1 I 5,224 I Teen)

While at a hockey game, which was totally Stiles's idea, the cameramen behind the Kiss Cam think Erica and Stiles are together. Derek, right next to Stiles, has to intervene on the behalf of his mate.

Also, there might or might not be a homophobic couple who start screaming at our werewolfy hero. He also might or might not give them the cold Hale stare.

Sterek on Ice by viennalemon

(6/? I 17,135 I Explicit)

Stiles Stilinski is one of the stars of his NHL team, the Cyclones, but management isn't happy with how he is conducting himself off the ice. It becomes the Cyclone's PR manager Derek Hale's problem and now Stiles' behavior has to improve or they'll both be out of a job. This is a mashup of a Sterek AU and also fanfiction for Shameless Puckboys (Puckboys book 3) by Saxon James and Eden Finley. This is a work in progress so tags will be added as chapters are added.

Take The Ice by Hopeless ships (The_Danish_Biscuit)

(7/7 I 50,228 I Mature)

To Derek Hale hockey was everything. It was the only reason he even tolerated High School and if given a choice the only thing he would be doing for the rest of his life. Some called him driven others called him fanatic.

Derek called himself determined.

Only one day a random meeting with a strangely fascinating young ice skater turns Derek's life upside down. A odd friendship blooms between them and Derek slowly comes to realise that his life isn't quite as simple as he thought. There might be more to life than ice hockey.

Sink My Teeth Into You by groffiction

(26/? I 77,191 I Explicit)

Derek Hale is one of the sexiest Alpha’s to be in the Werewolf Olympics, held every four years. Unfortunately after this last Olympics, getting only the silver medal, his partner bails on him. In need of a partner, and being a total stubborn Sourwolf about the whole prospect, his coach and uncle, Peter Hale decides to go in search of one by himself. He finds Stiles Stilinski, an Omega who just so happens to work as a Stripper at one of the best gay bars around town and gives the boy an offer he can’t refuse. Peter figures that the mouthy exotic dancer would be good for his nephew. However, what he didn’t intend were for both of the wolves to not only start hating eachother, but to also have enough sexual tension in their ire to melt the whole planet’s ice rinks.

Five Random Things

Five random things from my current WIP, tagged by @outtoshatter

This is from my Sterek Hockey AU that I’ve been thinking a lot about the past couple of weeks.

Stiles was born in Poland. He and his family move to Vancouver when he’s 5.

Derek is not athletic but likes to run. Talia forces Derek to take Stiles on runs.

Derek gets to drive the Zamboni and works at the concessions of the ice rink.

Stiles doesn’t consider himself superstitious, but Derek draws a triskelion on him before a game, and he gets a hatty. Then Derek has to draw a triskelion on him every game.

It takes place in the same universe as Check, Please, so Stiles is a Jack Zimmermann stan, watched Jack and Bitty kiss when the Falconers won the Stanley Cup, and came out to his parents shortly after. He always has bi flag tape on his stick during warm-ups.

I’ll tag @acaranna @withmyteeth and @acountrygirlsfun

[soleadita]

why would you say this to me when you know i am lacking the willpower to do anything productive ever 😂

aldksks HI SORRY, I HAD TO. THE THING IS. despite having little to no interest in following actual sports in real life, my fanfic weakness happens to be sterek sports aus. and my OTHER weakness (well, okay, i have a lot of weaknesses) is fictional hockey (thank you, check please). not to mention you just have a knack for writing sterek-flavored sports things. <3

ANYWAY. godspeed with the willpower (or lack thereof). 😌

[lil0ak]

[elisela]

think twice stiles x derek wild about you, established relationship for @missanniewhimsy 💚

-

It’s the smallest thing. The smallest, most inconsequential thing; so small Stiles can’t believe he’s been fixating on it for the better part of nine weeks—and the only reason it’s only been nine weeks is that Derek doesn’t come to many of his games and it took him at least a month to figure it out.

Derek doesn’t wear his jersey.

Hello! I'm your Secret Sterek Santa. Is there anything you'd specifically like to see in a gift for you? Any particular AUs you love?

awww hi! i’m not picky at all! which i know, is the worst 😅 i’m a big fan of hurt/comfort, fluff/domesticity, fake or secret relationship/didn’t know they were together, etc. if it has a happy ending i’m happy 😌

as far as AUs go, i’ll literally give anything a go if the hook pulls me in. coffee/book/florist/tattoo shop, any sports (big fan of hockey, surfing or dance), fantasy/royalty, sci-fi, is it too indulgent to say firefighting…🤔 but i’m open to it all 💖💖💖 i’m sorry i’m probably leaving this super open-ended lol

Messy Draft Monday

Here's a little bit from my FTH fic for eli -- this draft doesn't even have a name yet, but for the quickest context it's an NHL au (Derek plays for the caps, Stiles for the Wild), they meet at the all-star game, and Derek has a daughter named Soph :) thanks for the tag love @outtoshatter <3

The weight on Derek’s pants suddenly lifted as Soph slid over to hang onto Hot Player, leaning all of her weight onto him like she had onto Derek, and she announced, “Stiles is going to be the fastest skater!” while holding eye contact with Derek like it was a challenge. 

“Is he now?” Derek replied, looking up at “Stiles” while he said it, and was secretly thrilled to see the hint of a red blush creeping across his face. 

“Stiles” sheepishly scratched at the back of his neck. “Well, that’s what I’m competing for, anyways. Soph just has lofty goals.” Suddenly, the hand on the back of his neck was reaching around so he could smack himself in the face. “Shit – I mean, shoot!” he exclaimed, with an apologetic glance at Sophia, free hand resting gently on her shoulder. “I realize just now that I didn’t introduce myself and your daughter called me by a name that you probably think is made-up.” 

Derek couldn’t help the snort he let out, but he felt his grin widen. 

“I’m Stiles Stilinski, on the Wild, obviously.” Stiles gestured at himself in the distinctive forest green gear before sticking his hand out for Derek to shake. 

“Your parents name you that, or is that something you chose for yourself?” Derek asked, eyebrows raised even as he reached out and accepted the handshake. 

“You don’t want to try and pronounce my first name. Too many consonants. So should I just call you ‘Soph’s Dad,’ or do you have a name underneath the eyebrows?”

Derek’s grip faltered around Stiles’s warm hand as he choked on a laugh. “Derek Hale,” he managed to squeeze out, and fuck, there was that smirk, and Derek did, in fact, guess correctly – those lips wore a smirk better than they had any right to.  “Nice to meet you, Derek,” Stiles replied, eyes alight, and Derek tried to squash the feeling that evoked down immediately.

i don't know who's out there writing rn, so i won't tag anybody, but if you see this and you're writing, feel free to post and tag me -- i wanna see it!!

Moodboards for Sterek AUs: 1/?

For @imagine-sterek’s Another Present Under the Tree (A Sterek Christmas in July Event)

Ice Skating AU + Hockey AU

Stiles is a gold-winning olympics ice skater, recently retired after his partner has a tragic accident. Derek is a semi-pro field hockey player hoping to make it in the major leagues of ice hockey. Stiles is tasked with training him to be a pro skater, and away they go to a cabin with a frozen over lake. With their post-practice hot chocolates, snowball fights, and nights curled up around the fire, they learn about a lot more than just skating.

[celestialvoid-fanfiction]

Imagine ice hockey player!Stiles comes to the rink one day to train and finds a guy on the ice dressed in sweats and a black shirt. He thinks he must be another player because the man is built, but as he watches, the man moves with elegance and grace. Stiles realises he’s a figure skater.

He can’t help but watch from the side of the rink as the man trains, trying to perfect a routine where he does a sit spin and straightens fast before moving into a triple Salchow, but he can’t seem to get it right. Every time he comes out of the sit spin, he loses balance and collapses.

After watching a few times, Stiles can’t bear to watch anymore.

“You’re coming out of the spin too fast,” he tells him.

“You know figure skating?”

“Not exactly,” Stiles admits. “But I know skating, and I’ve been watching you for the past half an hour. You come out of your turn to quick and when you straighten up you lose your balance.”

“And what do you suggest I do, coach?” the man asks jokingly.

“Keep the speed of your turn, but slow it down as you come out of it,” Stiles suggests.

The man shrugs and tries what Stiles suggest. This time it works. He finishes the routine and it is stunning. Stiles watches, awestruck by the man’s grace.

The man skates over to him, thanking Stiles and introducing himself as Derek.

After that, the two hit it off. Stiles gets really excited when he sees Derek training. Derek comes to Stiles’ games and Stiles goes to Derek’s competitions.
