Teen Wolf "Green Creek au"

Where Theo turns into his Wolf form 100% of the time because he can hunt like that, can sleep anywhere, his omega loneliness is easier to face, and feelings are easy to process.

Everyone thinks he left, his truck hidden in the forest where he can lie on its bed when he needs something familiar.

The pack can smell his scent when they go running through the woods, but Theo isn't stupid, he knows where and how to hide, how to slow down his heartbeat until is barely heard. He is relieved that they ignore him, don't look too hard to find him. Theo thinks that's Scott allowing him to stay, even though he doesn't deserve it.

He listens to them howl on the full moon and holds back his own needs to do the same. Because he isn't pack, and he can't out himself.

He should leave Beacon Hills. There are other woods where he can hide, without all the fear and distrust. Where he could relax, not bring alert all the time.

But his truck is there. And everything is familiar, bringing a sense of comfort, somehow. The only thing preventing him from getting insane is this small feeling of belonging.

And then

There's a bunny

A little bunny running and running and theo is hungry, so so hungry

Here bunny here

Just want to play

Hungry

Bunny don't hide

Here come here

Please

Running running

The moon so pretty and it's singing, singing!

It loves Theo, even though his not actually born from the moon, he doesn't belong to it, but it loves him anyways. It accepts him.

And Theo is happy, so happy. Finally hunting, running, his free, free! The moon loves him, and he wants to sing to it too.

But then, there's pain. So so much pain. His leg hurts, and he howls. He's not stupid, but he got distracted. Silver dents into his skin. And it burns, and Theo howls.

Is not stupid, but he got distracted, too much into his wolfself to be cautious. And now, pain is making him stupid because he doesn't want to die. Not again, not again, please.

Pain pain pain

Someone please

Not again please

It's an old Hunters trap (he hopes is an old one, they can't be there, Scott's pack needs some time without danger. They deserve it). And it hurts. He is not affected by silver itself, but it hurts anyway.

He howls until he can't do it anymore. The moon leaving him, abandoning him too. He's left whining and crying to old trees, the wind taking his sounds away.

There's too much blood and he can't heal because its dents are deep down his skin, into his flesh.

Alone, he's going to die alone. And please not again please

Until, a rapid heartbeat and a salty smell come to him overlapping the pain and the smell of his own blood.

Strawberry and wet earth, autumn and slight acid rage

And oh, Liam

Here Liam please

Please

It's all strawberry and wet earth, autumn and slight acid rage and a heartbeat too fast. Too erratic.

A breathless Liam kneels in front of him. Shaking hands caressing his head. He is into his pajamas, an old shirt and sweatpants. He's pretty, so so pretty. It's all Theo can think about.

Theo whines when pain is drained from him, Liam shaking even more when black veins appear on his arms. He relax into Liam, his scent all Theo can feel.

"Theo, I-" his voice is hoarse, he takes a few more breaths. "You screamed. I heard you howl and it was so-" Theo closes his eyes. There's still so much pain and he's tired but Liam's here. He's here, he heard him and he came.

"Sorry for taking so long. It's going to be okay." He continues to stroke his head, scratching behind his ear. "You're my responsibility, right? You're going to be okay."

And Theo trusts him. It's okay. It's going to be okay.

And it's all strawberry and wet earth, autumn and slight acid rage. Sunlight shines again and he allows himself to relax for the first time since he became a wolf.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Teen Wolf (TV) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Scott McCall & Theo Raeken, Scott McCall & Theo Raeken & Stiles Stilinski, Theo Raeken & Stiles Stilinski, Melissa McCall & Theo Raeken Characters: Theo Raeken, Melissa McCall, Scott McCall (Teen Wolf), Stiles Stilinski, Liam Dunbar, Corey Bryant (Teen Wolf), Mason Hewitt Additional Tags: Fluff and Angst, Light Angst, Nostalgia, Theo Raeken is Loved, he just doesn't remember it, Theo Raeken-centric Summary:

The first time Theo walks into the McCall house after 8 years of absence, he is pinned on his feet by how familiar everything looks. In his time away from Beacon Hills Theo had accustomed himself to the idea of the world being ever-changing. He could not recognise himself in the mirror, nor in his action, and no landscape ever had the time to become known to him. When he’d set foot back in town Theo was ready to discover it, yet everything around him seemed intent on reminding him of what could have been.

My fics <3 (completed)

All the love we unraveled (and the life i gave away) 3.1k, Thiam.

Thinks I wasn’t sure i even knew how to feel this way anymore. I didn’t think i was capable of doing anything other than harm. I thought all my hands knew how to do was hurt and take and ruin, but you keep proving me wrong. Please, understand i’m trying my best. Please, see me. See me, see me, see me see

Or: what happened between the time they left the hospital and made it to Liam’s house.

Tell me that we’ll be just fine (Even when i lose my mind) 6.3k, Thiam

"What? No 'Thank you for saving my ass, Theo'?, No 'I'm sorry you had to carry my deadweight through this abandoned zoo while hunters are trying to kill us, Theo. That was really brave of you, Theo.'? Oh, wow, Liam! You are so very welcome for saving your ungrateful ass for the millionth fucking time." Theo growls, eyebrows pinched.

"Do you even need me for this conversation?" Liam says, unimpressed.

Or: The five times Theo had to knock Liam out before they were able to leave the zoo.

Close my eyes, fantasize, three clicks and i’m home 3.7k, Thiam

pain·kil·ler

/ˈpānˌkilər/

noun

1. a drug or a medicine for relieving pain.

Examples: Ibuprofen, Advil, The way Liam is looking at him right now.

Or, Alternatively; Liam comes home to find Theo bleeding out on his floor when he's been MIA for two months.

Cause everyone’s growing, and everyone’s healthy (i’m terrified i might never have met me) 20.3k, Thiam

He's allowing Liam to step into his space, to see the worst part of him and say ‘See me, know me, understand that this is the worst of me but it is not who I am. I am a better version of myself. I am not the worst of my actions. I am more. You know me.’

And hope that Liam understands and accepts him anyways.

Or, alternatively: A post hell fic and the road to healing.

Of Gods and Monsters 3.1k, Thiam

The definition of Chimera goes as follows:

"(in Greek mythology) a fire-breathing (female) monster with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail."

Which is true, but Chimera can also mean:

"A thing that is hoped or wished for but in fact is illusory or impossible to achieve."

Or: Theo’s battle with religion and his belief in God.

I’m here, right here, wishing i could be there for you 3.6k, Thiam

"I just wanted to let you know I'm not mad anymore. Snail la vie, or whatever."

"What la vie?"

Or: There's a halloween party, Liam is a little high, Theo is a little annoyed and they're both a little bit in love.

Crimson stained hands 896, Thiam (Implied)

No amount of scrubbing is going to rid the permanent red tint to his hands.

or: Theo is trying very hard to keep himself together.

Theo Raeken’s original mission in Beacon Hills, given to him by the Dread Doctors, had nothing to do with killing Scott, and was actually about getting Malia to kill her mother instead. In this essay I will-

You’re crying. It’s one am and you’re crying because of a fanfiction

[equallyloyalandlethal]

All About Control, Chapter 17

Monroe holds pressure with the blade against his chest, smirking when he starts to bleed. She pulls back for a moment, giving him a millisecond to breathe before she plunges the knife into his side, leaving him gasping for air. The initial pain is searing, feels like a fire is building under his ribs. He tries his best to breathe but every inhale brings a new round of pain surging through his lungs.

Monroe is smirking, but his vision is starting to blur at the edges, everything starting to double around him. One Monroe is enough, he doesn’t need to see two of her. He clenches his eyes shut, forcing his brain to think of anything other than the blade that has yet to be removed from his side.

Think of something good. Think of something good. Liam, think of Liam.

———————————

Give @raekensarcher some love, because their fic is almost done and we churned out this 10k marvel of whump and torture to get Theo to an interesting place.

Stiles is so damn flabbergasted his mind might be as good as gone, and his voice so thin it might be just as well. “What…?”

Brett rolls his eyes. “You’ve taken me to your prom and didn’t even grace me with a dance. What do you think, pretty boy?” His smirk curls dangerously in one corner, the slant of it waking a lick of pure heat in Stiles’ belly — then he cocks his head, hand stretched out a little closer. “C’mon, Stiles, no one’s here to see.”

He wants to enjoy what he has for as long as he can. But the horrific designs of the Dread Doctors and the nefarious schemes of Theo Raeken might destroy everything he's worked so hard to achieve.

Teen Wolf "Green Creek au"

Part 2 | Part 1

It was a strange thing to think about Theo Raeken as an omega. Okay. It was expected, Theo was a loner. The one of a kind. The first Chimera. He was selfish, bitter, didn't care for anyone. But Liam was stroked by a feeling of wrongness when he saw Theo's eyes. Purple, so, so purple.

Because Theo was selfish, and bitter, and didn't care for anyone, but Liam didn't believe that they were all true. He was all those things, but he was also the boy who fought with him. Who decided Liam was enough saving or didn't see enough on himself to save. He was the boy who didn't know how to take someone's pain away because no one had taught him. The kid who was manipulated into thinking that to be powerful, he couldn't trust anyone.

"His leg is going to be okay," Deaton said. "It's going to take longer to heal, at least longer than it should for your kind."

Liam was stroking Theo's head, his fingers moving as if it was an instinct. He wasn't awake, Deaton had given him a sedative so he could close his wounds, and stop the unstoppable bleeding. "Why? Silver shouldn't work on him. I couldn't smell any poison. So, what-"

"He's an omega, Liam. Have been for a while. The Dread Doctors have created a perfect imitation of werewolves, even on this thing."

"He didn't have a pack before."

"Didn't he? They could be dysfunctional, and wronged, somehow, but they were all he had. A family born into that mess, or, at least, something he could rely on. He was with ten for what, ten years? They might not had the strongest bond, but they were all he had. And then, well, he had you to rely on, I suppose." Liam felt out of breath for a second, his hand stopping its movement before he relaxed, letting his hand rest on top of Theo's head. The thought was too close to saying Liam was Theo's anchor.

"How long?" was all he managed to say. "How long is going to take to heal?"

"It's not so easy to guess, but I'd say a week. He's not eating properly, nor drinking water, it's not only he being an omega that's doing this."

Liam worried his bottom lip, eyes focused on Theo's fur "I'm going to take care of this."

"Liam-"

"He can't go back to the woods. He's hurt, and he's going to be vulnerable. He can't go back. Theo is my responsibility, I'm taking care of him."

"I can't tell how long he has shifted, Liam. He- an omega can be dangerous, they can go feral. He's been missing for what, one to two months? He can be in his wolf form since then. This, combined with him being omega is dangerous. He's unpredictable. Theo might be too lost in his wolf. Besides, we don't know when he actually became an omega and how this works, since he is a Chimera."

"Exactly. We can't tell when he became an omega. Deaton, Theo was unpredictable before, and I chose to take him as my responsibility. I'm choosing again."

The vet sighed, shook his head, and pitched his nose before he looked at him again. "Call Scott. He'll want to know what his beta is doing, and why my clinic smells like Theo. Call him as soon you can."

"Yeah. I will." Liam hadn't thought about that.

Nor had he thought how he was going to hide a huge wolf in his room without his mother finding out.

He ended up sat in his bed looking at a still-asleep black wolf. His bedroom smelled like a hospital, a slight smell of blood. But it was combined with citrus and rain, caramel and lightnings. It made his stomach twist.

Theo was an omega, and I felt wrong. Because Theo deserved a pack, a second chance, and happiness. He was eighteen and was caught up in a mess when he was nine. They had promised him that he would be powerful, he wouldn't need to feel insecure or afraid, and what kid would deny that? Theo was a kid when they came, he had been manipulated and used and Liam felt nauseous.

And then, he was ignored by Liam's pack. They had been betrayed before, they had forgiven those. But they ignored Theo. He was left in the woods, they were happy that he was missing —even if Liam said it wasn't true, that he had to hold himself so he wouldn't go searching for him, he never did, so it didn't matter. They didn't care Theo was still a kid, a kid who was brought up in a broken place.

They had failed him. Liam had failed him. He was his responsibility, after all.

And Liam got it, okay? Theo had destroyed their trust, he almost destroyed them. But now, he was an omega, he had shifted into his wolf form because feelings were easier like that. And even then, he couldn't imagine how lonely Theo must have felt. Wolves weren't meant to be alone.

Liam felt sick.

He needed to call Scott, but he wanted to scream at him, even though it wasn't his fault. He never asked anything to them. However, Liam wanted someone to blame and the Dread Doctors were dead while Theo was still suffering.

He inhaled slowly. Citrus, rain, caramel and lightnings filling his lungs. His eyes were on Theo, his wolf form occupying half of his bedroom.

Liam was going to take care of him, at least until his leg healed. He wasn't going to let him alone, not again. Everything was going to be okay, somehow.

He needed to call Scott.

One Single Thread of Gold Tied me to You

“Why are you on the floor?”

And that’s certainly a question. One Liam wishes he had an answer to, wishes he could find the words to explain it. But he can’t, doesn’t think he’s ever going to find the right combination of letters shoved together to make any of this make any sense for him.

Or: Liam might be spiraling and Theo just wants to help.

Your Bite's Far Worse than Your Bark

Deaton is staring pensively into the distance when Jackson butts in, “Can we circle back to the disease transmitted by bite thing? Isn’t that, like, zombies? Because Stiles described zombies, but Liam described werewolves, and I am absolutely not sticking around to deal with zombie werewolves.”

Stiles stares blankly at him. The rest of the pack does too.

He shrugs, “Can you imagine what the stress would do to my skin?”

-

Or, the one where Stiles believes it should have been him. And there may or may not be zombie werewolves.

"Fifteen years." Liam said, voice low enough to be considered a growl. "Fifteen years—a decade and a fucking half—and you were here the entire time?"

in which theo goes to great lengths to avoid his feelings.

K, Tara called him, because she knew he hated it. Clara, Theo called her back, because nobody else did.
