[many-gay-magpies]

teen wolf is making me ship so many f/m couples seriously

[sunmoontruth-stiles]

Ok this is gonna be long. I’ve literally been slowly working on this for… too long. I’m just in a mood to have a long discussion about ships. I’ll be looking at canon and not, so bare with me. I don’t ship all of these personally. I’m mostly just picking the most popular ones. I chose to leave out a few that I just don’t want to talk about. I tried to keep this loosely chronological, but that quickly went to hell. None of this is meant to be hate towards anyone’s ship, just my personal opinions on each of them.

Canon:

Scott x Allison: True Classic

Scallison is so sweet as it is truly the epitome of young love. Romeo and Juliet, except Romeo is even more of an idiot and Juliet is a badass who dies for a cause. They’re moral and ethical codes are both highly valued by themselves, even if they don’t align with others very often. They loved with everything they had. They were beautiful. We’re they soulmates in the end, or just the first love who will always hold a special place in your heart? Who knows, but I’ll always love these immature kids who thought their love could change everything.

Stiles x Lydia: The Long Awaited

Stydia is as slow burn as you can get. Unfortunately their actual getting together was slightly rushed in my opinion. They didn’t have time to find their own as a couple because Stiles just wasn’t in the show enough at that point. I know the reasons behind it, but it did leave this couple at an awkward stage of official-but-not-shown. The idea that Stiles loved her as a kid, immature and infatuated, and he saw her for who she really was, will always be cute. Then they grew, changed, became friends, and found other people. Them finding each other later on, having real love that’s developed slowly, is a wonderful arc. Though, a part of me will always believe they should have pursued other story lines in the wake of Stiles’ absence from the plot. They’re finally together! …but we don’t get to see it.

Jackson x Lydia: The Image

Oh Jackson and Lydia. Honestly, I love them. Their connection at a time in their lives when they couldn’t open up to anyone else, just hits me right in the feels. I mean, god that HUG. You know the one. Always brings me to tears. I’m so sad their relationship was almost entirely depicted during Jackson’s kanima time when he couldn’t think nor truly act for himself. Those small moments of scared vulnerability when he wanted to protect her from himself… I’ll miss these two. They deserved to find other people and remain life-long friends. I loved their moment in the last episode. I wish they’d gotten to see each other grow. Also they had such bixbi solidarity vibes, and I’ll die on that hill.

Scott x Lydia: Leaders

Ok, I’m gonna be honest here. I ship it. The power couple they would have been?? Also them coming together after they lost Allison would have actually made sense. A part of me kinda wishes the writers had moved on from Stydia as a romantic relationship and leaned into them growing as friends and Stiles moving on from his childhood crush. Scott and Lydia actually would have had good chemistry. They were both very headstrong heroic types, but Lydia would have balanced Scott out well intellectually. They had the history, and I think it could had worked if they wrote it right. Plus, Scott and Lydia would have been a better endgame that Scalia.

Scott x Kira: New Beginnings

These two were adorable. Kira was a badass, don’t get me wrong, but she let herself be soft in a way Allison was always afraid to. This couple was truly Baby. Absolute dorks. I can definitely see the lasting quality between the two of them. They saw things very similarly, and had a ton in common. I do think Kira deserves more characterization outside of their relationship, like more of her friendship with Malia. Overall, her departure from the show will always be sad to me. It was bad writing. Scott was over her far too quickly.

Aiden x Lydia: Pretty People Herd

I honestly didn’t see much between these two other than mutual attraction. The best thing to come out of this relationship was Lydia’s line, “You’re not just a bad boy, Aiden. You’re a bad guy. And I don’t want to be with the bad guys.” Good character development moment.

Ethan x Danny: Step to Redemption

Danny really was the thing that made Ethan look outside of the pack for what he really wanted out of life. They had a few cute scenes. Gotta love Danny’s final remarks, “Dude, it’s Beacon Hills.”

Allison x Isaac: Unexpected Rebound

Ok, I like these two. Isaac could match Allison’s snark in a way Scott couldn’t. They both fought the progression of the relationship slightly. They didn’t expect to fall for each other. They were less willing to let someone in close. I’d love to have seen more… but unfortunately their time was limited. On a side note, sometimes their relationship did feel like ‘we both are in love with the same guy, let’s cope with each other’, but I find that completely valid. I’ll talk about Scallisaac later though.

Stiles x Malia: Anchors

Ok but, them <3 I love what they did for each other. Stiles was able to help Malia connect to her humanity and other people. He never tried to isolate her in their relationship and encouraged her growth. Malia offered Stiles the emotional support he never asked for. She defended him, fought for him, and loved him fiercely. Stiles needed that so much after season 3. I think they were a love that wasn’t meant to last, but the impact of it was forever. I wish we’d gotten to see a real end for them where they agreed that they needed to grow as individuals but would always still care.

Liam x Hayden: Three’s a Pattern

These two’s characterization stopped whenever they had storylines together. Their relationship was built on Scallison references. Hayden’s character could have been interesting, but they never really gave her a moment to shine. Liam has the worst plots when they revolved around her. Cute couple, poor writing.

Derek x Braeden: Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girl Boss

Derek deserves to be happy so much. Kate and Jennifer were just... jeez. Him and Braeden were cute and deserved more screen time. I think her intensity allowed for Derek to let go of control a bit more comfortably. Let Derek Be Soft. Anyway, love them.

Corey x Mason: Gotta Have That Rep TM

These two could have been cute if they were shown for more than two seconds at a time. I highkey forget Corey even existed all the time. Kinda just felt like a relationship to fill TW’s gay quota.

Jackson x Ethan: The Callback

Honestly? Loved them. Loved the chemistry. Loved the dynamic. Best twist. I know it was probably written in like that because Colton came out during his time away from the show, but it absolutely fit his character. Jethan is top tier.

Melissa x Chris: BAMF Parent Duo

Ok, so like, Melissa deserved this plot. She deserved someone to care about her. However... what the hell? Chris? In canon, his wife died like 2-ish years prior? His daughter died 1 year prior?? Is Chris really in a position to pursue a new relationship?? Also, like, Scott and Allison dated and loved each other up to her death. Kinda weird to have their parents hook up. I don’t hate it, but I don’t ship it…?

Scott x Malia: Lead up? What’s lead up?

These two came out of nowhere I stg. Like, 6B really tried to tell us this was something that had been slowly developing in the background? Also, I understand that they are their own people, adults, and completely in charge of their own romantic pursuits: but did Scott seriously never call Stiles? Like, Malia wasn’t just his first girlfriend. She was his first. Like, dude that’s your best friend?? Not even a head’s up? No, ‘hey would this bother you?’ Oof. Plus Malia was way too chaotic for Scott. She existed in gray morality that always prioritized her immediate circle, and Scott was a very black/white type of heroism. I just didn’t feel like they fit.

Non-Canon:

Scott x Stiles: Childhood Best Friends

Ya, sorry, I don’t ship Sciles at all. I get it. Like, I totally understand the ship, and I mean no judgment at all. I just see them as friends. I really value good male friendships in media because I feel like we don’t get enough, and I always liked these two.

Stiles x Derek: Enemies to Lovers. 100k. Angst. Hurt/Comfort.

God these two really are what fanfiction was made for. I could write a much longer discussion about Sterek, and I probably will eventually. I’ll try to keep this brief. These two weren’t always on the same side, but their approach was the same. They were very similar at their core. Plus, wow the chemistry. This should have been canon. Jeff’s a coward.

Allison x Lydia: Powerful.

This ship is so great. They really had a great dynamic, and a romantic plot would have easily fit the established narrative. Lydia’s confidence in herself and Allison’s confidence in her own abilities crossing over to each other because that’s what the other lacked? Iconic.

Danny x Jackson: He Gets Him

Danny really saw Jackson for everything he was and still cared. I wished we’d gotten to see more of them. I  want more background with Jackson’s eventual coming out and his friendship with Danny. Like, they ended up dating the same guy. What did Ethan have to say about that??

Stiles x Jackson: Bastards

Ok these two had a super fun dynamic. The asshole-energy between them was, great. The snark was always so entertaining.

Melissa x Noah: Family

How were these two not endgame? Their sons were practically brothers already. They had amazing chemistry. The flirting? Not to mention, their timeline would have made way more sense. Missed opportunity.

Chris x Peter: The Opposite of Love is Indifference, Not Hate

Ok so like, this was definitely one of those ships that I had absolutely no knowledge of before I was pretty into the fandom. Like, this was not something I would have guessed just after watching the show. That being said; my god the chaos alone…

Scott x Isaac: The Disaster Duo

Okay ya I love these two. Two dumb asses who act like idiot puppies. Such a fun dynamic. Plus?? Chemistry??? Hellooo

Scott x Allison x Isaac: Three Heads Are Better Than One

This ship is definitely one of my personal favorites. I very rarely poly-ship. I just feel like most of them are just love triangles with an ‘easy solution’, when two of them have no real connection. That is so not the case here. I feel like all of them have such great chemistry with each other. They also have a great dynamic as a group. Season 3A was really just Scallisaac rights.

Stiles x Isaac: I Hate You, jk…Not Really

Ok I loved their banter, but I really just don’t see this ship. Idk, I don’t personally ship it. Would have loved to see their friendship develop more tho.

Erica x Allison: Duo that would stab you with a stiletto

I don’t ship it, but I do wish we’d seen them become friends. I feel like they had a very artificial ‘girls fighting over a boy’ dynamic? They could have been such a badass duo.

Stiles x Erica: Batman x Catwoman

Ok I’m not sure exactly how to express my feelings for these two so bare with me. OMG I love their dynamic so much, and they are sooo cute. Their energy? Amazing. Chemistry? Great. History? It’s there and has so much potential. 10/10. Love them. But, no, I don’t ship it lol. Just really love their friendship, but with the underlying history of crushes.

Boyd x Erica: Was This Not Canon?

How can anyone not love Berica? Ugh they are adorable. These two deserved so much better.

Boyd x Cora: Survivors

Honestly I don’t really see it? Like they definitely had a connection, but it never felt romantic. I really feel like they just had to lean on each other and bond to make it through captivity, and it just lasted.

Boyd x Erica x Cora: The Pack

I literally learned this was a ship a couple days ago. Similar feelings towards this as Bora, but with the added hesitancy of we never actually saw Erica and Cora interact.

Cora x Stiles: Slow Build Up

These two were clearing being lined up to be a thing before Cora ended up leaving. I can’t say I’m disappointed they never happened. Kinda felt like they just wanted to straight-code Sterek.

Cora x Lydia: Mean Lesbians

Not much interaction to actually go off of, but yes I 100% support. They have very different approaches to problems, which is fun. Very ‘opposites attract’.

Malia x Kira: “Maybe you could date the coyote?”

Another one of my favorites!! They really complimented each other. Also, how full circle would they have been? They were introduced in back-to-back episodes. Malia stalking her as a coyote? The line from Kira’s dad about dating it? It would have been so funny if that ended up happening.

Malia x Lydia: Beauty and the Beast, but make it wlw

These two were fun. I liked their friendship, but I don’t really ship it. Though, rip Stiles that would have been hilarious.

Parrish x Lydia: The Cop and The Minor

Must I say more? Like, Parrish’s character, so sweet and big rule follower, did not make sense for what went down with Lydia. I love Parrish, but the dynamic just felt off. It didn’t feel consistent with the rest of his characterization.

Parrish x Stiles: The Cop and The Minor, but gay?

Ok, same reasoning as above, but also they had absolutely no connection romantically.

Scott x Theo / Stiles x Theo: Sometimes The Villain is Hot

Ok I’ve put these together because I have the same opinion for both. I don’t ship it. Neither had any rebuilding of trust, and Theo really hurt both of them. I just don’t really think they work.

Mason x Liam: Sciles Puppy Pack Edition

Similar to my feeling about Sciles, I just don’t ship these two. They had a good friendship, from the little we saw of it.

Theo x Liam: Anchors 2: Electric Boogaloo

Another personal favorite! I really don’t even understand why this didn’t go canon?? The elevator scene was just, so intense. They helped each other grow in 6B, and I really loved their dynamic. They should have hooked up.

Honorable Mention?: 

Parrish x Laura: What’s canon?

I’ve seen this in fanfic a lot, and I actually really like it lol. I thought I’d add it in here because I do love the creativity of fandoms.

[luulapants]

Happy Birthday woo! In your mind (ignoring all the necessary parts of canon that need to be ignored) where would all the main characters of Teen Wolf be five years later? And by main I mean the ones you care about x

Oh man, GREAT question. I like to jump off canon sometime in the midst of 5a, mostly because I really do like the whole ~vibe~ of the chimera pack. ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE NOT DEAD.

Anywho.

Scott is in school to become a veterinarian. He is VERY stressed.

Stiles is studying magic with Deaton and rocking some sort of gig like PI for the supernatural (not a cop).

Derek is basically managing the pack so Scott can go to school. He wears a lot of sweaters and sometimes reading glasses and he's the pack dad, okay??

Jordan is dating Derek but they might as well be married. They are famously boring and care too much about sports.

If Derek is pack dad, Peter is pack creepy uncle. He is helpful just slightly more often than he is a problem, and thus they have to keep him around. He and Stiles have a nightmarish animosity booty call situation going on.

Lydia is working on her PhD in theoretical physics at Stanford and comes to visit a lot.

Kira does something fucking cute like teaching grade school.

Malia ran away with Braeden to be a bounty hunter and also they fuck. She comes back to visit occasionally.

The puppy pack + baby chimeras are still in undergrad but are either local or come back for breaks.

Tracy is high-key in love with Lydia, and the only person that doesn't know is Lydia. She'll figure it out.

Theo is working construction. His villain decay has progressed so rapidly that he has taken on a Xander-esque role in the pack where he's pretty much there to fix the house after supernatural shenanigans damage it.

Isaac and Chris are having a scandalous affair on a French beach.

Ahhh I'm probably forgetting someone and these change shapes literally all the time, but THIS IS IT TODAY.

[theheightofdishonor]

Teen Wolf triads are something that can be so personal, so here’s a list of my faves 

Scott/Stiles/Allison

The OG trio. The gang that dies together might not stay together, but they’re still iconic.

Scott/Stiles/Lydia

Any Scott/Stiles/X dynamic is brilliant, but few more than this one. These three have been there since the beginning and they’ve gone through so much together. There’s no Teen Wolf without them. 

Scott/Stiles/Derek

They were the driving force in S1&2 and had some absolutely iconic moments together. Hate that there wasn’t more of them after that. 

Scott/Derek/Isaac 

Mostly based on S2/3. I was very invested in Isaac’s struggle to pick between these two. 

Scott/Stiles/Isaac

This triad’s dynamic completely changes between S2 and 3. In Season 2, Isaac, as part of Derek’s pack is a slightly antagonistic figure and it’s very much Scott&Stiles vs Isaac but in S3, Scott and Isaac grow closer while Isaac and Stiles erm, don’t. It’s very fun to watch. 

Scott/Isaac/Allison

My ot3 and the only trio on this list that I 100% ship. 

Isaac/Erica/Boyd

Ayy, it’s the OG Hale Pack aka 3 teens bonding over being thrown headfirst into something they weren’t prepared for and Derek’s horrible leadership. Isaac should’ve ran away with Erica and Boyd for solidarity’s sake. 

Chris/Allison/Isaac

Chris’s struggle between hating Isaac for dating his daughter and wanting to adopt him is hilarious. One of my favourites. 

Scott/Melissa/Isaac

 Who didn’t completely melt at Isaac joining the McCall fam? The scene where they’re ‘guarding’ Melissa was so cute. As a bonus, it made Stiles’s animosity towards Isaac that much stronger. Will forever hate that this trio was more or less non-existent in 3b even though I love Chris/Allison/Isaac. 

Derek/Cora/Peter

The non-dead Hales. Why oh why did Cora have to leave? Their family dynamic was great. 

Allison/Lydia/Cora

I know they only had a couple scenes as a triad, but there was so potential. We love antagonism with underlying sexual tension. And ofc, the only thing better than 1 terrifying badass that can secretly be super sweet is 3 terrifying badasses. 

Derek/Isaac/Boyd

At one point, the only non-dead members of the Hale Pack (TW quickly amended that). I always think of the S3a Loft scene where Boyd and Isaac skip school to protect Derek. Despite how awful of an alpha Derek’s been, they still care about him and he cares about them (as actual people and not just betas that he needs for power like he did originally)

Derek/Allison/Lydia. 

Yes it’s my 5th s3 based trio in a row, but can you blame me? This is 100% based off the classroom scene in 3x02. 

Allison/Lydia/Jackson

Although Lydia and Jackson were both awful in S1, their friendship with Allison and their immediately taking her under their wing was beyond precious. Additionally, it combines both the asshole-who’s-soft-towards-1-person- dynamic (jydia w/ allison) and assholes-who-secretly-care-about-each-other (jydia) And ofc, the underlying tension due to Jydia’s disdain towards Scott and later, Jackson and Allison’s experiences/knowledge of the supernatural. 

Malia/Kira/Lydia

Comedy gold. Their scenes speak for themselves and we needed more. 

Liam/Mason/Corey

Their S6a dynamic is sooo underrated and should’ve been given more screen time. I loved watching Liam and Corey struggle to get along for Mason’s sake because they want him to be happy. It was all very wholesome and one of the few things that made 6a worth watching. 

Stiles/Scott/Liam

Aka the best part of S4.Their dynamic is so fun and well-balanced and infinitely better because they’re a triad. You’ve got Scott and Liam figuring out their mentor/mentee relationship with Stiles co-parenting and preventing the Scott/Liam dynamic from turning unhealthy. (Liam and Scott’s S6 dynamic veered way too close to parent/child for my taste. They need Stiles to balance it out) It’s also hilarious how quickly Liam accepts being aggressively adopted by two idiots who are barely older than him. And Stiles takes so easily to playing older brother/co-parent. It’s adorable. They’re adorable. 

Erica/Allison/Lydia 

Very similar dynamic to Allison/Lydia/Cora due to Cora and Erica’s similar personalities but also not, which has a lot to do with Allison and Lydia’s reactions to Erica’s weaponized feminity. Also, there’s a lot more history between these girls and I want to know everything about what Erica thinks of Lydia after going to school with her for years. 

Sherriff/Melissa/Chris 

Of the top of my head, I can only remember that time where they were trapped under the Nemeton and that’s simply unacceptable. 

Sheriff/Noshiko/Melissa. 

It’s a crime that this triad never got scenes. Especially after the Sheriff tried to arrest Kira. I know Melissa bitch slapped him but I wanted to watch these two badasses gang up on the Sheriff together. ( the Noshiko/Melissa dynamic would be so iconic.) 

Victoria/Noshiko/Melissa

Another triad that never shared scenes (obviously because Vic is dead) but their power would’ve been off the charts. I want to make a joke about milfs, but I’ll refrain. 

The Yukimura fam

Seemed appropriate since my last two also included. Noshiko.I love family dynamics and the Yukimuras are no exception. The attraction of this triad, for me, is mostly the dynamic between Kira and Noshiko and how Ken navigates between them. They’re also a trio that we didn’t see nearly enough of in S4 and 5. Like seriously, where were they? Noshiko’s on the dead pool, but she’s barely mentioned. (on a mostly unrelated note, how is the 900 yr old Kitsune worth less than a girl that just found about her kitsune powers?)

Derek/Allison/Scott

I don’t need to explain this one. The angst, the drama, Derek projecting Kate onto Allison and Allison trying to murder Derek and their evolution to reluctant allies with a good dash of Scallison and Scott navigating his own difficult relationship with Derek. Aka the complicated, tension fraught trio we all loved/should love. ( ok, I kind of explained it)

Derek/Scott/Liam 

And here we have a two for one deal; two mentor/mentee dynamics in 1 triad. People much smarter than me have written about this trio in extensive detail, so all I’m saying is that Derek’s that one uncle who occasionally comes around and gives somewhat helpful advice. 

Braeden/Malia/Scott 

Braeden and Scott were great in S4. Braeden and Malia were great in S5. Scott and Malia are pretty great when they’re not in a relationship. Combine, and you get what had to be a kick-ass triad that’s sadly never canonly shown together (I think)

Melissa/Chris/Isaac

Not actually featured in the show, but Isaac deserves all the parental figures and I want to witness the surely epic custody battle between Chris and Melissa. 

Malia/Scott/Peter

That this trio is on here is actually pretty funny because I hate both Scalia and the forced Peter/Malia bonding in S6. But I loved the scene where Peter warned Malia not to fall in love with Scott because a) he has absolutely 0 right to advise her on anything and b) because of the history between Scott and Peter. In a way, a relationship with Malia is just another thing tying Scott to someone that’s repeatedly caused harm to him and his friends and was the initial cause for all the pain he’s suffered in the last couple years. I just find this dynamic worth exploring. 

Malia/Derek/Peter

The Hales 2.0. Derek and Malia deserve to bond over unwillingly being related to Peter, that scumbag. 

Malia/Stiles/Peter

Stiles and Peter are so fun together and Stalia is my jam. Throw in an antagonistic Malia and Peter relationship and they’re entertaining as hell. Much more lighthearted than Malia/Scott/Peter.  

Stiles/Malia/Lydia 

To clarify, this has nothing to do with a love triangle and everything to do with how their personalities play off each other. It’s one of those trios where together, they’re either terrifying or absolute morons. 

Stiles/Cora/Derek

Admittedly, my version of this is very Sterek+Cora and the hilarity of Stiles and his attraction to Hales but it’s also 3x snark and you really can’t go wrong. 

Scott/Stiles/Melissa 

It’s Melissa and her boys 1.0. This woman is by far the best parent on this show, and I love the specific dynamic among these three. Melissa might not always like Stiles, but she cares about him and there’s the mutual understanding that they both adore Scott and would do anything for him. Also, Mel being exasperated by the dumbass duo is always funny.  

Kate/Allison/Chris

Lowkey another custody battle because Kate and Chris do fight to be the bigger influence on Allison This is such a tragic trio to me, and the lesson here is basically that sometimes love isn’t enough. Chris and Kate both genuinely love Allison and she loves them too but can’t have both and at some point, she has neither. Kate and Chris care about each other, but that’s not enough either. In the end, they all lose each other. There’s no happy ending for them, at least not with each other. 

Derek/Stiles/Peter

Stiles just has chemistry (not necessarily romantic) with all Hales and this trio really shines through in 3x01 and in S3 in general. “Chess is Stiles’s game” asgdhfjgh. I wanted more of that very specific dynamic. 

That was a hell lot longer than I thought it would be, but what can you do. Feel free to tell me your own opinions in the tags/comments.  

[swearwolf-writes]

Teen Wolf 2020

it’s 2020 and corona is a bitch :) the wolves might not be able to get sick but they still wear their masks bcs they could still be carriers so *clears throat* WEAR YOUR MASKS Y’ALL!! this is very much a no one dies/everybody lives au :)

[CROSSPOSTED ON: AO3]

Scott McCall - age 26

this cute nerd. he studied veterinary medicine which takes about 4 years so he graduated in 2017 and works as Deaton’s partner at the Beacon Hills Animal Clinic. he’s dating Isaac (bcs he came back from France with Argent, remember) and Kira (she came back from the Skinwalkers in 2019 and has a proper grasp on her powers). sorry scalia shippers but it’s not really my thing-

Stiles Stilinski - age 26

NERD. anywho- FBI dork became an agent in 2019 whoo and lives in DC with Lydia, Derek and Braeden. he’s dating Lydia and Derek and things are pretty chill - he yells at arseholes who refuse to wear their masks bcs ‘it’s uncomfortable :(’ like bite me karen no one cares

Derek Hale - age 32

grumpy sourwolf actually knows how to smile!! who knew- he lives in DC with Stiles, Lydia and Braeden most of the time but he and Braeden travel often to fight butthead hunters who need to mind their own business. he’s dating Stiles and he and Braeden are engaged - it’s cute and they’re being dorks about it. he likes to complain that they’d be married by now if it wasn’t for freakin covid

Lydia Martin - age 26

your local genius banshee~ 🥰 still awesome, still a harbinger of death - so yk, the usual. bcs she had extra credits she started as a junior studying maths and graduates in 2016!! 🎉🎉 she moved to DC after she got some money together while working as a tutor - the quartet splits rent (but usually it’s just Stiles and Lydia splitting it bcs the other two don’t technically have jobs and yk Derek is an unsub and Stiles is in the FBI which Lydia finds hilarious). she teaches adults in the local community college and helps supernatural folk on the dl - she runs a grief counselling service at the same place for people who’ve lost someone. she’s also trying to get a degree to become a high school maths teacher and it’s a lot but she’s got it handled.

Allison Argent - 24

accidentally brought back from the dead by the Dread Doctors. everyone could not stop crying bcs she’s back baby!! she died in 2011 age 17 and came back in 2012 so she wasn’t dead long thankfully - wanted to kill Theo bcs he messed with her pack even he did bring her back. she’s a chimera now lads- she needed a kidney transplant when she was young which was why she was kept away from the family business. she was a werewolf-werejaguar chimera like Hayden but stayed a chimera. Chris and Isaac stayed home and bcs she and Isaac never actually broke up, they kept dating - she found it funny that Isaac and Scott were dating at this point,, meanwhile they were panicking wildly :) she went back to school and said she wasn’t dead, just in the hospital for a really long time. she joined Liam’s year and again, wanted to very badly throw hands when she found out about Monroe- she’s the coolest, like she has claws and bow and arrows

Malia Tate - 26

our girl went to France as promised and hooked up with plenty of hot French people *le eyebrow wiggle* she found her beau there in France and it was not a love at first sight sort of thing - she wanted to punch them in the face,, in their very pretty face- she was basically doing her own thing when she smells them, another bloody werewolf and like don’t get me wrong, she’s fond of werewolves, but bloody hell do they cause trouble. and they smell her too and it’s like ‘eh-?’ bcs werecoyotes aren’t so common as werewolves. and they’re just there in a club in Bordeaux and they’re sniffed each other out and they kinda just pause like huh- bcs they were were not expecting to see someone that pretty- but that’s not the point of course- they pretend to leave together and as soon as they’re out of sight from humans, they start fighting in an alley, as you do. it ends up with the wolf tasting the wall bcs who the hell are you- once they figure out they’re both just there to party, things chill and they see more of each other, naturally, it’s all just a big coincidence and doesn’t mean anything. and then they’re dancing and it doesn’t mean anything. and then they’re sleeping together and it doesn’t mean anything. except it does. and they don’t know when it became normal to cuddle or wake up together or have breakfast together but it just was. and when the cute werewolf (who I still don’t have a name for-) plans on moving to the next place, she comes with. the pack are happy for her and they usually road trip from place to place so when the pack comes to visit in Prague? it’s fun to say the least

Kira Yukimura - age 25

she came back from the Skinwalkers in 2019 and she and Allison became good friends. she kept going with school from home and is dating Scott. her powers are strong and when she sneezes bcs yk pollen or wtv, there’s sparks and it’s hilarious and Scott finds it adorable. she doesn’t really know what she wants to do yet and that’s cool of her

Erica Reyes - age 25

they thought she was dead- think again bitch, she slowed her heart rate down so they couldn’t hear and everyone thought she was dead - when the alpha pack got rid of her body and Allison found it, she told her to tell the others to pretend she was dead bcs of the Alpha pack - they beat the Alpha pack but she and Boyd hid with Satomi’s pack while that went down and helped generally after. she kept going with school and bcs she dipped for a while, ended in Liam’s year and eventually became a nurse in 2017. she works with Melissa McCall and joins for family dinner a lot.

Isaac Lahey - age 25

went to France with Chris Argent but kept going with his studies at Chris’ insistence. was dating dating Scott before he had to leave with Chris but they didn’t actually break up,, it was more ‘i’ll miss you :(’. came back to Beacon Hills when Chris came to help with the deadpool business and stayed bcs of Allison and Scott 💞 his studies were mostly uninterrupted and he studied law, becoming a lawyer in 2020!! so at least one good thing came of this infernal year- he wants to specialise in family law.

Vernon Boyd III - age 26

Jackson Steiner-Whittemore - age 25

Theo Raeken - age 25

ah yes, the absolute nightmare bi enby returns. (i hc him with he/they pronouns ✌🏽 as you do) so he successfully gained Scott’s trust and is part of the pack - yay! he and Allison have a sort of ‘you’re a bitch’ ‘no u’ *saves each others lives* relationship at this point - it took a while for Allison to warm up to him but he did save Liam’s butt several times so,, anywho, he’s still a werewolf-werecoyote chimera and he’s cool with it. he went to an online school and got his high school diploma - Liam then snuck him into the school and he signed the bookshelf bcs yea he didn’t graduate there but he did go there and now he’s graduated so yay. speaking of, he and Liam are dating, yea ik we been knew. they started dating in 2014 and Theo now works waiting tables at a local restaurants bcs he lives with Liam and his parents (you best bet that when they found out he was living in his car, they made him move in so he pays rent, not at their request but his). that was till 2017 and they moved out into an apartment together. Theo chips in on rent but it usually ends up being split 60:40 (Liam: Theo) so he cooks and cleans a lot,,, mainly bcs Liam can’t cook and does laundry like a maniac-

Liam Dunbar - age 24

this werepup is just as chaotic as always - he cannot be trusted with laundry bcs he doesn’t split colours from whites :) honestly it makes me wanna cry a lil bcs he can’t even fry eggs either- he has Theo to cook for him tho so that’s all good. he’s a history tutor for the high school students bcs he likes history and he knows the pain of high school- *shudder* he got an online Spanish and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) degree and is now teaching at Beacon Hills High but yk his first year teaching is all online bcs 2020-

Mason Hewitt - age 23

he’s Emissary to the pack when they don’t have Deaton *wipes tear* he’s all grown up- he went to UCLA and majored in biophysics and minored in LGBTQ studies (graduated 2017). he lived on campus (kept the bat next to his bed lmao) and videochatted with Liam almost everyday - he would visit almost every weekend even tho it’s a 6 and half drive but hey. he got an apartment near the uni where he and Corey lived after he graduated. they’ve been engaged since 2018 (it was actually the day after the Steiner-Whittemore wedding). he’s helping work on a new drug delivery system and they moved closer to Beacon Hills (Sacramento)

Corey Bryant - age 24

he also went UCLA, studying comparative literature and LGBTQ studies, and lived on campus (for 3 years before moving in with Mason in 2017) before graduating in 2018. they’re engaged and moved to Sacramento. he’s writing a novel that will thankfully have nothing to do with their confusing ass lives

Cora Hale - age 28

lesbian queen *bows* still part of her pack in Ecuador, South America - she’s got a lady lover who I call Rosa (affectionately nicknamed Rosalita). they met when she first got there age 12 (Rosa being 13 at the time). Rosa taught her Spanish  and made her feel like part of the pack - after all the Alpha pack stuff, when she went back with Derek and Peter, she didn’t realise how much she’d missed them- how much she’d missed her. Derek asks if that’s her girlfriend and she’s like ‘wha- o.o’ and Rosa just goes ‘yup - nice to finally meet you guys’. she still visits DC to see Derek and Beacon Hills to see Erica and Isaac. even tho she lives in a different continent, Peter still looks out for her, sending anonymous donations in Talia’s name to the areas surrounding her pack’s territory

Brett Talbot - 24

*singsongs* ~he did not die~ the car swerved out of the way and the pack took him to Deaton who burnt the poison out of him (it was a long and painful process but he’s fine y’all). he’s the new lacrosse coach at Devenford Prep and he and Liam have a (mostly) friendly rivalry :) he’s a single pringle not bcs of lack of dates but just bcs he hasn’t found the one yet

Lorilee Rohr - age 22

also did not die :) she finished high school (2015) and went on to studying at UC Berkeley (art practice and theatre and performance studies, major and minor), graduating in 2018. she and Brett moved once he reached age 18. she makes and sells art from home

Nolan Holloway - age 25

after proving himself, same as Theo, he was eventually accepted into the pack. he and Gabe were dating and that’s that so he did mourn him for a long while. he works with hunters on the dl, trying to stop them hunting the supernaturals - he’s flipped 23 away from the dark side by 2020. he and Liam are friends which took a while but Nolan has his back (like there was that one time someone from the lacrosse team said they weren’t gonna ‘follow some mongrel’ so he reminded them that Liam was co-captain and if they didn’t wanna follow him, they could kindly fuck off :)) he’s a simp and has a raging crush on Brett like me too bruh

~the end~ for now

can you recommend some sterek fics that take place while derek is deaged and deaged derek realizes he has feeling for stiles so he tells him but once hes back to his number age he doesn't know how to deal with having told stiles he true feeling or something similar?

Here’s some de-aged Derek! - Anastasia

Little Promises by crossroadswrite

(1/1 I 2,666 I General)

Derek doesn’t really know what happened. He just knows there was a lady and she was pretty but she was also really mean and she was trying to hurt his friends.

“Holy fuck,” Erica mutters and is harshly shushed by Isaac.

“Don’t swear in front of the kid.”

“It’s not a kid,” Erica counters. “It’s just-“

“Derek?”

This Is Your Life, Derek Hale! by PolarisTheYoungWolf

(7/7 I 23,699 I Explicit)

I need more de-aged Derek and pregnant mate Stiles! Can you imagine de-aged teen Derek being told he has a family of his own? Like the baby(babies) are born and he's like that for like...a weekend or maybe even a week or longer. And it's just overwhelming and awesome and funny and teendaddy Derek trying to also be a doting husband/mate and maybe they have to go out...because the babies have chickenpox and they need the pink lotion to help with the itching(Do werewolves get chicken pox? Maybe one of the babies is human and got it in case Were's can't?) and Derek is torn from staying with his pups and getting something that will help their recovery? I dunno...just...de-aged daddy Derek that's mates with Stiles is TOO cute an image!!!!

Just Right Now by FiccinDylan

(5/5 I 31,619 I Explicit)

In the aftermath of the lacrosse field heartbreak, Scott and Stiles spend the day playing video games and trying to get Stiles through his sorrowful valley.

Then, Stiles gets a very interesting visitor...

aka

Stiles gonna get some lovin'!

anything that's dead shall be regrown by blueinkedbones

(24/? I 45,778 I Teen)

“Derek,” the guy with the hands says. He's still got his hands out, kind of reaching, kind of catching, kind of dropping to his sides. His voice is calm, but his eyes are too bright to sell it, and his heartbeat is out of control. “Are you—Do you know who we are?”

Derek swallows, thinks. If this is a treaty thing, another pack thing, why would they care about him? He's not even the alpha-in-training, he's nothing. Mom doesn't even bother explaining most werewolf politics to him. He knows most of it from Laura, Peter, from passing packs who used to think it was cute to tell the youngest beta their complicated histories and have it repeated back to them around still-awkward fangs. Now that's Cora, and not recently, either—She says she's too big to play kid games.

“No,” Derek decides. “Should I?”

I'll be right back (in 24 years) by AnaIsFangirling (Ana_K_Lee)

(35/35 I 48,190 I Teen)

When Derek thought about time travel – and he did, a lot – this was not what he'd had in mind. He'd thought he would see his younger self, tell him to leave Paige alone and NEVER trust Kate Argent. He'd thought he’d get to come back once that was done and everything would be perfect. He never imagined having to relive his entire life.

Age Defining Hale by TyJax_Fanfiction (TyJax_EeOwen)

(21/21 I 55,327 I Teen)

“Well, Deaton’s the one that knows about this kind of stuff, he researched everything when it happened the first time,” Scott answered and looked between everyone in the room, which consisted of Scott, Stiles, Braeden and mini Derek. “But he’s MIA right now. We’ll have to wait until he gets back,”

“Until then... we’ll have to keep an eye on you,” Stiles added to Scott’s sentence. “You might change back at some point and one of us will have to explain,”

“He’ll have to stay with one of us,” the Alpha mentioned and instantly looked at him, like he was the better option.

“No, no way, my dad’ll freak out if he sees Derek walking around the house, especially if he’s young again. Hell, he’d give me the talk again if he saw ‘that’ in the kitchen making coffee in the morning,” when he said ‘that’ he gestured to Derek’s more than gorgeous, slightly younger body. Seriously, puberty was incredible for this guy. “And I don’t have a guest room, so it’s either the couch or my room and I don’t think I’ll be able to live with waking up to that face every morning! I’ll die of hormone inflammation!”

One Stupid Mistake that Changes Everything by Kikileduc

(12/? I 60,060 I Not Rated)

Shortly after the events of season 3b, everyone is recovering. Stiles feels guilty over the loss of Allison and Aiden. Scott can't look at his friend. Lydia isn't talking to him. Isaac, Ethan, Malia, and Kira are all dealing in their own way. Derek took off again.

Fast forward to two months later, things are much the same for Stiles, except his father insisted he get checked out again as the nogitsune had tampered with his son's tests...

The results aren't good.

Stiles returns to school to find the pack hovering around a de-aged and cluesless Derek and suddenly finds himself on the outside of the pack's happenings.

To top it all off his new doctor is a little— weird, to say the least.

Can Stiles figure out what happened to Derek and help reverse it while dealing with his own personal issues? How will the pack feel when they need the spastic teen, only to find him missing? And, what is really going on in Beacon Hills? Can they come together and solve the mystery in time???

"This is what defines you, Stiles. The unexpected." by limesnapdragon

(32/32 I 77,464 I Explicit)

"If someone had told him two weeks ago he would be on illegal drugs and hanging out with Derek Hale, he would probably have punched them. Life was funny sometimes."

Stiles is about to turn seventeen and present, find out whether he's an alpha, a beta or an omega. A lot is riding on it and Stiles is nervous as hell. He hadn't expected Derek Hale, of all people, to be helping him out, but when you're in deep shit and the guy's handing you a paddle, what else are you going to do?

A Wolf In Wolf's Clothing by alexenglish

(8/8 I 81,325 I Explicit)

The pack of Beacon Hills' past transgressions are about to converge on them, and Derek stumbles out of the forest with no recent memories and straight into a pack he doesn't know, with an alpha and an anchor he can't possibly remember.

The New Hellmouth: The Benefactor by iKnightWriter

(25/25 I 109,430 I Teen)

Scott, Stiles, Landon and Kira return to a new semester of school with more human worries than supernatural, while also trying to help their new friend, Micah, integrate back into society. But Kate Argent’s surprising resurrection brings a new threat to Beacon Hills along with the emergence of another mysterious enemy known simply as The Benefactor.

Top 5 bellamy ships, top 5 teen wolf ships

oh fun fun fun!

Bellamy Ships!

1. Becho. Soft, happy, in love? it’s all i need. 

2. Bemori. A cute concept, even though it was obviously never gonna happen. 

3. Bellamy x Gaia. My own little crackship that I built for myself, and sail all on my own. But hey. Let a girl dream. The only girl other than Emori who has never ever hurt my son. (I wanted the gif of him carrying her in 5x12 but i couldn’t find it so this will do)

4. Braven. I never really wanted it romantically and it’s obviously never gonna happen, but they have mad chemistry.

5. Bellarke. We’re in a not great place rn but i predict i will love it again pretty quickly in s6.

TEEN WOLF SHIPS. 

1. My first and longest lasting OTP, Stydia. I literally flung myself off my couch when this kiss happened. 

2. Stiles x Malia. Cute little snuggle bugs. Without a doubt one of the cutest ships ever. 

3. Scott x Kira. The immediate chemistry. The sweetness. The whole thing. Kira was done dirty and i miss scira. 

4. Ethan x Danny. God this ship made me FEEL THINGS. This angry, villain type boy finds his soft jock boyfriend, and protects him and loves him. Danny and Ethan should have been endgame, i refuse to except Ethan x Jackson. Ethan didn’t deserve to end up with that jagweed. 

5. Derek x Braeden. She was just the kind of person Derek needed. Strong, not someone who was going to die without him, and ready to fight by his side. And Derek was who she needed too, someone kind (if a little broken) and willing to be by her side. I love them.

Oblivious~ Liam Dunbar

Anon:  126. with Liam Y/N (stiles little sister) loves Liam but he's dating Hayden so she avoids him but somvething happens and they're fogrced to talk and Y/N admits her feelings for him and you can decide if they get together in the end

A/N: here you go, long as usual sorry! Thanks for requesting it, I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

(GIFS NOT MINE)

126. "I think about you all the time, it's freaking annoying."

Warnings: brief descriptions of claustrophobia, depression, sorta. people freezing to death.

Word count: like 3k oml

_____________________________

It had been 7 months, 3 weeks, 4 days and some loose change since you had realized you were in love with Liam Dunbar.

But who's counting?

The problem with being in love with Liam Dunbar was nothing more than one seemingly simple reason.

Liam was oblivious.

As one of Liam's closest friends since childhood, this was not very shocking to you- Liam has always been clueless from the days when girls would twirl their pigtails hoping he'd ask them to the Valentine's Day dance, to the girls biting their lips or giggling whenever he passed in the halls.

Who could blame them? Liam was what said girls' grandmother's  would call "a catch." One of the star lacrosse players, baby blue eyes, tanned skin, defined muscles, and the innocence and good nature of any girl's heartthrob. Contrary to teenage boys popular belief, assholes are not desirable. It's the cute and sweet ones like Liam Dunbar, or your older brother's best friend, Scott McCall. Cute, fit, and sweet.

Must be a werewolf thing. Even Brett was sweet past the snark, and Derek was obviously just a big puppy.

The thing about these perfect boys was their unbelievably ill conception of actual girls having feelings for them.

"Oh no, Sophie wasn't flirting, she just needs help on the math homework. The Pythagorean theorem is pretty difficult."

"Oh Victoria? She's just a friend. She wanted to know what time our game is tonight. It's so great she wants to support the team."

"I can't do anything Friday, I promised Lilly I'd go to her soccer game. She wants to get as much support as possible. The boys team always gets all of the attention, I'd hate to disappoint."

Dim, dense, dim, dim.

Now while these poor boys pass up plenty of potential girlfriends, there's the occasional one or two who manages to snag them.

For Scott it was Allison, and now Kira.

For Derek it was Paige, then Braeden.

For Brett, it was once you (never to be spoken of- it got real awkward real fast, especially with your overprotective brother Stiles..) until it became clear he wasn't into girls, and sniffed after Mason.

For Liam it was Hayden.

In fact, it still is Hayden.

Hayden, who is pretty and funny without even trying. Hayden, who is sweet to everyone, even you despite your attitude towards her. Hayden, who manages to bond with everyone she meets, except you of course, hit by the brick wall that is your stubbornness. Hayden who is perfect, and especially perfect for Liam who deserves the world.

They were great for one another. So great, you couldn't even compare.

You stayed away after that, unwilling to let your feelings for him possibly get in the way. You had to avoid him.

He'd try to speak to you, and you'd deflect the conversation to someone else. He'd try to make plans with you, you'd make up an excuse. You'd be partnered with him for something, whether it be supernatural or school, and you'd get out of it. (Being Y/N Stilinski, daughter of the Sheriff, and sister of Stiles Stilinski, this was a simple task.) He'd sit next to you, you'd move somewhere else.

You could tell it was hurting him, but you couldn't stop. You couldn't get in the way.

Soon, he stopped trying. Hayden became a permanent fixture in the pack, of course she was. Everyone loved her. She fit into the pack like a glove.

Scott, Stiles, and Lydia knew of your feelings, and while they didn't approve of how you were handling the situation, they didn't try to stop you, or talk to you about it. That kind of hurt.

Soon, your whole dynamic changed. You were no longer Y/N Stilinski, the bubbly, charismatic, sarcastic, sweet daughter of the sheriff, you were Y/N Stilinski, the pessimistic, sullen, heartless werewolf. Nothing phased you, or excited you, or interested you.

You weren't you.

It was during a pack meeting at Scott's house that things were about the change. Snow had begun to fall, something rare in Beacon Hills. It became known fast that the cause of it was some kind of snow monster. Beacon Hills never ceases to amaze.

"Okay, someone should be patrolling all night, every night. We could divide into days, and be in pairs so one could sleep while the other searches."

A collective nod occurs, while you glare at Hayden and Liam's entwined fingers.

"Okay, Malia and Hayden, Lydia and Kira.."

Liam whispers something in Hayden's ear, and she giggles sweetly, the noise like music notes, causing you to glower and sink back farther against the wall you leaned on.

"... Y/N and Liam. Alright, tonight will be Y/N and Liam. Everyone be safe, call if needed.,"

Everyone was gone before you could protest. Liam stood, speaking to Scott with harsh whispers you couldn't bother to listen to.

In the end, the alpha only shrugged. "You're pack mates. You have to speak at some point." His voice dropped a few octaves as if for you not to hear. "It will be okay, look, she doesn't hate you. Besides, you're both my strongest bitten betas- I need you both together. Howl if you need me."

With that he was up the stairs, and Liam and I were alone.

Liam shifted his weight between his feet awkwardly while I stood, fumbling with his keys.

"You're driving." It was the first you had spoken to him in months, and he was shocked to say the least, and you could sense that he was maybe a little hurt when you brushed by him without so much as a glance.

He didn't understand, and you couldn't tell him. Not without giving your feelings away. And you couldn't get in the way- you just can't.

You fiddled with the heat in the car throughout the awkward silence, but despite that it was snowing, neither of you were cold. Werewolves tend to run warmer than the average human. But it gave you something to do and focus on past the awkward tension between the two of you.

And that sucked. It used to be so easy to talk and laugh and just be you with Liam, but you ruined it all, and now he's a stranger, and so are you.

Liam was taking several impatient deep breaths as the night wore on, seemingly frustrated, and I don't blame him. We'd been out here paroling for hours, and there wasn't so much as a whisper of this stupid Abdominal Snowman.

Finally, it seemed like Liam had enough, because he slammed his foot on the break petal, jerking you both with the stop, and you pushed the hair that flew into your face away, fuming.

"What the hell, Liam?" you snapped, and the other beta clenched his jaw.

"No, Y/N- you what the hell!" he spit back, and you scrunched your face up with confusion.

"That doesn't even make se- whatever. Just drive. We have four more hours of this, and then we can go to bed." You crossed your arms over your chest, deliberately not looking at him.

Liam didn't drive though, in fact he didn't move a muscle, instead turning to glower at you, hurt hinting in those blue eyes. "What did I ever do to you for you to just cut me off like that?"

Blunt, yet to the point, and it hurt. And it hurt even more that you couldn't answer him. "Liam, just drive." you whispered, but the other werewolf didn't do so.

"No, Y/N, just tell me why you're acting like we've never met- like we're strangers!" he's shouting now, all of the frustration and hurt he's kept inside over these past months surfacing, drowning you both in the small space between you. "Like these past two years of friendship was just.. just nothing to you."

Y/N bit her lip, trying to keep those tears brimming her eyes from falling, trying to keep the reasons, and rebuttals to his claims to herself. "Liam. Drive."

Liam slammed his fist onto the steering wheel, causing the horn to honk, making you jump as he eyes burned amber. "No, Y/N, tell me!"

"NO." you roared, the single word having so much effect. The word brought silence around them, it brought your tears to cascade down your cheeks, and for matching ones to build up in his now blue eyes. It brought silence, it did, but this silence was tainted with tension and hurt, and it burned.

Liam opens his mouth to speak, but there's movement behind him, out the drivers side window in the snow clad trees and road, and you open your own mouth to warn him, but neither of you get the first words past your lips before an almost cartoon- like snow fist slams into the window, sending the car tumbling to the side with the force, and you both scream as the car rolls into the trees and cascades down a trench, collecting snow as it goes like a boulder, and you're not sure how long it goes, or how many times you hit your head during the process, or even where you are, but you do know that when it stops, you can't stop the dark black abyss that threatens to swallow you into unconsciousness.

You only get one last glimpse- one tiny picture snapped into your mind, one frame of an endless video- before the darkness swallows you, and it's of Liam, slumped against the steering wheel, dead to the world.

_______

"Y/N!"

Cold. That's the only thing you can focus on- the only thing to focus on is the cold chill- no freezing air- surrounding you, and you can barely shiver your muscles are so cramped and weak.

"Y/N!"

Despite that is your skin is freezing at the moment, there are hands rubbing your arms, and the contrast between your icy skin and the fiercely warm hands rubbing it was pure bliss.

"Y/N!"

You could almost ignore the voice, mumbling, well, actually more like muffled shouting, your name, and drift off again to the soothing touch.

"Y/N, pl-please-e."

Whoever was speaking, their teeth were chattering, and their voice was weak, as if freezing to death themselves, and you make the connection between the hands rubbing your skin, and the shaky voice, and their presence, and it all comes back.

Your eyes snap open with a start, and you make to sit up, only to be pushed back down by the person curled up against your side, and you can barely feel their body heat despite the close proximity, and it worries you.

Your eyes travel from the hands, to the cut up, pale, goose- bumped arms, matching your own, to the face inches in front of you, and you gasp.

Liam's face was as white as the snow surrounding the two of you, save for the slow healing cuts around his face. His eyes were wide, and bloodshot, and blue, his lips almost the same color.

"L-Liam-m, oh my G-God, what-t happen-ened-d?" You could almost forget your little spat in the car, too focused on his horrid state, well aware yours was the same. There was the fist, the tumbling, the banging, then nothing.

Liam licked his blue lips, wincing as he does so. "W-Well, the sn-snow thing-g bu-buried us unde-er some sn-snow, we hav-ve no cell ser-service, I-I tr-tried to howl-l hour-s ago, we're b-both hypothe-er-m-mic, and y-you've-e been ou-out for hour-rs now." Liam licks his lips again, a nervous habit of his. "I was st-starting-g to g-get worr-ied."

You smiled weakly, noticing that even though you were pressed together for warmth, it wasn't doing either of you much good. And Liam said he's been awake for hours- who knows how long he's been out, how long we've been exposed. Considering the fact that you felt the urge to fall back asleep, which is a definite Do Not Do  when near hypothermia, you didn't think you both had much time left before you're ice statues.

Liam's alarmed as he looks at your face. "Y-Y/N, d-don't cry-y, the pa-pack is probably on th-their w-way now-w.." How could you not worry when his voice was practically dying?

"L-Liam, be-before we die-" your voice was weak and croaky, Liam having to use his wolf hearing to understand you.

"N-no. We're not g-goin-g to d-die-" he tries to reassure you, but you grab his hand, giving him a wane smile, and his voice chokes off with a whimper.

"Be-before we die-e, I ne-need to t-tell you.." You took a deep breath, fighting the fatigue that threatened to pull you under. "I nee-d-d to tell-l you I.."

Liam's eyes were drooping, but he managed to give you an encouraging nod.

You tried to focus on what you needed to say, on everything you've been dying (ironically) to say to him since he started dating Hayden. Everything- every reason you ignored him, every reason you avoided him all of these months, everything you never wanted to say, too scared you'd mess everything up. That you'd ruin everything for him and Hayden, and yourself, because there's no way Liam Dunbar loves you like you love him.

You planned to tell him all of that and more, but the thoughts were drifting as they formed, and you were getting confused. Liam was barely conscious next to you, and your blinks started to get farther and farther apart.

You did manage to tell him one thing before sleep took you both, one thing he heard, and haunted him as he spiraled into unconsciousness.

"I l-love you, Li-Liam."

_____

He was next to you when you fell asleep, and he was next to you when you woke up, and while that's a miracle in itself, being awake was an even greater one.

Peering beside you, you took in his peaceful face, still striking despite almost dying, of course, from the fan of his eyelashes on his cheekbones, the curve of his ridiculously sharp jawline, the tan of his skin now that it's regained color, and mess of brown hair. The bright azure blue of his eyes- your favorite of his many likeable features- were hidden behind his eyelids, until they weren't.

You jumped, turning away quickly, cheeks burning red at being caught, and now that he's awake you're suddenly all too aware at how close you both are- inches to be exact.

Liam blinked a few times, squinting at his surroundings before those baby blues landed on you, and then he couldn't look away.

"Y/N?" he breathed, and his voice was hoarse and croaky, but still the most beautiful thing you've ever heard, damn him. "Are we dead?"

You snort, finally turning to face him, your y/e/c eyes taking in his endless pools of blue. "No, we're not dead, you idiot." you laugh, and his face lights up at the sight.

"It's been a while since I've heard you laugh." he mumbles softly, adverting his eyes shyly, and you do too.

"Yeah.." It's been a while since anyone has heard you laugh.

Liam takes a deep breath, eyebrows pinched together. "Y/N, I'm not sure if I was imagining this, but in the car.. when we were freezing and probably dying.. you, you said.." he trails off swallowing hard, risking a glance at your face, which was carefully and strategically stony and expressionless. "You said.. you love me.."

Your face burns with embarrassment. You had been hoping he'd forget that.

"Y/N?" he prompts, and you sigh impatiently.

"Well, what do you want me to say?" you snap. "Is it true? Yes. Does it matter? N-"

"Yes." he cuts you off firmly, shifting a little closer to you. "It does matter."

You scoff. "No it doesn't- it shouldn't. And you should probably forget about it." you advise, and he flinches. "Just forget it because you're with Hayden and-"

"Y/N-" he tries, but you hold up a hand.

"No, Liam, let me finish- you're with her, and I didn't want to get in the way of that, so I just.. I just got completely out of the way, and tried to forget about you and my feelings. But I can't because I think about you all the time, it's freaking annoying!" Liam smiles at that. "So just forget I said anything, okay?"

He shakes his head, expression disconcertingly calm and content. "I can't." he states.

Your eyes narrow at the other beta. "And why is that?"

He smiles. "Because I love you too." And then his lips are on yours, and it's an explosion of emotion and something that can’t be described, only best compared with the feeling you get when taking a warm shower after being in a cold rain, and you melt into it, only to pull away after a second.

"Liam, Liam, we can't do this." you insist, shaking your head rapidly, and his expression morphs into one of hurt. "You're with Hayden, and-"

He laughs. The stupid beta actually laughs, and your eyes narrow indignantly.

"How is that funny- I'm not going to be the other woman, Liam-" you begin, and he's grinning, shaking his head, and finally you cave. "Why the hell are you looking at me like that?"

"Because Hayden and I broke up two weeks ago." he grins at your shocked expression, and you can't wipe it off your face because okay, what, and he laughs again. "Yeah, she cheated on me with Brett, but it's not like I minded, and now we're friends."

"You... oh.." you trail off, then squint at him. "Wait, you didn't mind? Your girlfriend cheated on you with your arch nemesis, and you're telling me you didn't explode on him?"

Liam nods. "Yeah. I didn't mind because I was in love with someone else too. You."

You're speechless then, and then you're leaning in, connecting your lips to his, melting you, and the bitterness, and cold detached facade you've built up these past few months melts with it, until you're back to the same Y/N Stilinski you've always been.

Someone clears their throat by the door, and you break apart from him quickly, almost falling off of the metal table you're both on, (probably because you were both frozen to one another), and would've if it hadn't been for Liam's arm around you. The whole pack- Scott, Stiles, Lydia, Malia, Mason, and Hayden stand there, grinning at the two of you.

"Hey, you're both alive!" Mason breaks the silence and you can't help but laugh, shocking them all.

"And you're both together." Hayden adds, and you suddenly freeze, almost afraid she's not okay with it until her face breaks into a grin. "Finally."

The room is filled with "congratulations", and "about time" and "use protection" and you hide your face in Liam's chest, which is only covered by a blanket, making it even worse.

Stiles was the only one not bursting from the seams with joy. "Alright, alright, they're both naked on a table, we should probably give them some privacy." Your face turns red when you realize your brother was correct, the only thing covering you both were blankets, fresh clothes folded on the table next to you.

The pack files out of the room, sending you both winks and kissing noises, and Stiles growls at Liam, pointing an accusatory finger at him. "And no peeking, you little runt!" And then he's slamming the door behind him.

You turn back to Liam, grinning, and he grins back. "Hey, you know how we can piss him off even more?" you suggest to break the awkwardness.

He shakes his head.

"We could just make out some more instead." you shrug, and he laughs.

"I love you."

And you kiss him, ignoring Stiles's shouts when he enters the room fifteen minutes later.

Hope you liked it! More Liam imagines to come..
