    Summary

    "You trained me too well, and I listened, like you always said, 'Don't only trust your magic, always have a backup  plan."

    He then gives a two-finger salute, the sign he has trained with his pack, and before she can react, two shots are heard in the clearing. Blue blood starts spilling out of her mouth before she coughs and falls to her knees. Her eyes are wide and focused on Stiles.

    Stiles sits on his haunches in front of her, so he's on eye level with her. "It's pretty stupid that people keep underestimating me. You should've known better-" Lydia screams in the distance, and Stiles knows it's time.

    ***

    After the warehouse disaster, Stiles finds himself surrounded by a couple of people he hadn't expected. Like at all. See how Stiles becomes more badass, starts his own pack, and finds love in unexpected places.

    Summary

    The boy must have felt the stares, because before he could get into the Sheriffs police cruiser he snapped his head and looked over to where Derek and Laura were standing. Derek quickly avoided his gaze. Stiles didn’t deserve to get pulled back into this world, where things tried to kill him every couple of days.

    Derek started to follow Laura when he heard it. “Sourwolf.”

    He stopped for a second and then shook his head and kept walking. “Sourwolf, I know you can hear me.” This time he knew it wasn’t just wishful thinking. Laura kept sending him questioning looks, but Derek just kept on walking.

    “Sourwolf. I swear to everything that is fucking holy in this god forsaken town. If you don’t stop ignoring me and come back here, I will shove so much fucking wolfsbane down your throat you will still taste it at Christmas.”

    -

    also known as the story "When Derek saves the child of a witch and gets the chance to save Laura and maybe even some other people"
    as well as "Laura really wishes she knew what the fuck was going on and since when did her little brother know how to smile and why was he smiling at this little brat"

    Summary

    Scott liked to call it the Great Pack Divide of 2012.

    Derek liked to call Scott an idiot.

    (Or the one where Derek kidnaps Stiles to teach Scott a lesson, and ends up learning a few things himself)

    Summary

    The story of how Derek, a borderline feral werewolf pup, finds himself having an unlikely affinity for a younger boy named Stiles—despite the fact that this kid might be the most annoying person in existence. As the years go by and hardship repeatedly strikes like a violent ocean against the shore, they realize that the only way to stay afloat in their chaotic world is by anchoring each other and learning to build despite the onslaught of chaos and destruction that Beacon Hills attracts.

    [or: follow Derek and Stiles from childhood to adulthood, watch them be broken down just to rebuild stronger each time, and most importantly—bear witness to them becoming happy and proud of the people they are]

    *Previously titled "Derek's Person." Now changed to be clear that this is a (Hale) pack-centric series—and while Sterek does take center focus in a lot of it, it is not solely a Sterek-centric series. The previous title reflected the first 6 short fics, as those were Sterek-centric, but the bulk of the series is about pack and what that means to each of the characters. Since the Hale pack symbol/tattoo is important, I thought this new title captured the focus of the series much better.*

    Summary

    5 times Stiles and Derek have to pretend to be in a relationship and one time they didn’t pretend.

    Or, Stiles gets stalked, Derek knows how to stop this happening. Both of them take advantage of the fact that them being physical with each other is the answer to this problem.

    ——————————

    “You don’t smell like - “ Derek paused, “ - pack.” A chest rumbled under Stiles, obviously unhappy.

    “Oh, yeah.” Stiles huffed, a small chuckle escaping his lips. “I met a guy - “

    Derek pulled away faster than he would if someone would have plunged a wolfsbane infused knife in his back.

    “ - at the bookstore.” Stiles finished his sentence. “I guess he was a bit handsy?”

    ——————————

    “You can’t get all 1920’s pre marital on me now Derek.” Stiles rolled his eyes, and John really wished he hadn’t just heard that and its implications. “Not after what we’ve already done. This was your idea.”

    Scratch that, John wished he hadn’t heard that.
