devil and the deep blue by element78

Rec’d by @cracklpop 

This piece is wonderfully atmospheric. It feels blue-tinted despite moments of heat—there's a beautiful sense of melancholy even in the happiest moments. Jason, a sailor in what I believe is some unspecified time in the 18th century, is hurt and subsequently rescued by a dark-haired, blue-eyed, sharp-toothed siren. What follows is a slow courtship between two very different creatures with startlingly similar ideas about beauty and morality. It's a lovely, lovingly told story that I've read more than a few times.

[solomonara]

I am *excited* to read your new Chaos!Dick story, but I'm also scared to start it until it's finished—so I've been staring at it on my TBR list like, "I know I'm going to be super emotionally invested in this and I might not be able to handle waiting for updates" BUT ALSO "I desperately want to dive in because I love this author and this series." <3 This is a compliment! I feel a lot of things about your Dick Grayson.

You are VALID lol I prioritize finished works in my marked for later list, too. One too many heartbreaks, alas!

Thank you for sharing your excitement! I am also excited to be posting again! If it helps you make the call, this one should be entirely posted by... hmm, mid-July? Do with that information what you will :)

Thanks so much for the gift fic!! I've been out a lot of the day, but I am going to sit down tonight and read it. I'm so excited :)

You're welcome 💚

[withthekeyisking-writer]

Hello! I was digging through your ideas graveyard and really liked the "Talon!Dick adopted by someone else" concept. I'm working on something based around that, but it's in progress. I might do something with it for Dick Grayson Anniversary Week? Not sure. I wanted to let you know and make sure you're all right about it. Thanks!

Hi, thank you for letting me know! I’m very much good with that, absolutely excited to see what you come up with! :)

Fanfic Writers Appreciation Post

I got tagged in an absolutely massive post by the darling and delightful @vmures, who writes wonderful stories full of heart. The post I saw had a lot of repeat names on it, so I’m going to specifically try to give a shout-out to smaller-time writers who are brilliant and talented, and to whom I’m grateful for their words, past and present. V is, of course, among their number.

@violaceum-vitellina-viridis @shey-elizabeth @dracoismytrashson @urban-barbarian @denaceleste @decade-dance @childoffantasy @eyesofshinigami @moonstalker24 @thesushiowl @hotpinklizard @cracklpop @wynnefic @triscuitsandsoup @twothumbsandnostakeincanon

I appreciate all of you, and the fics you’ve written, even if it’s for fandoms you’re not writing for anymore, or if writing isn’t a thing that’s been happening for you for a while. I appreciate the gifts you’ve given us, the things you’ve left behind, and I want you to know that I think of you and remember fondly when I’m browsing my bookmarks or see your names in fic searches. I hope you’re all thriving in whatever you’re pursuing right now. <3

part three of my favorite teen wolf fics

{ part one } { part two }

as always, CHECK TAGS BEFORE READING! <3

Move A Mountain by ZainClaw

( sterek, explicit, 69k)

Stiles goes camping with his friends in New Mexico after graduation where they befriend a biker gang led by Derek: a guy whom Stiles can’t decide if he will be either relieved or devastated to never see again once their week is up.

Horizons into Battlegrounds by AClosedFicIsNeverRead

(sterek, explicit, 15k)

Derek has always kept his distance from Stiles, refusing to act on his instinctive desire for the pale, doe-eyed human. But at what cost? When circumstances reveal the horrors that Stiles has suffered due to Derek's self-imposed distance, will the Alpha be able to make it right before it's too late?

Catalyst by KariahBengalii

(stiles/jackson/lydia, mature, 1.9k)

In which Lydia graciously invites Stiles into bed with her and Jackson and there are consequences she didn't predict.

Stray by GoldenDaydreams

(steter, mature, 16k)

Everyone knows the Hale’s take in strays—maybe it's in the hope that one day they’ll be willing to take the bite, or maybe it's just that they're pack creatures that take one look at a human without a family and immediately have to adopt them. Stiles isn’t sure which it is. Maybe it’s both.

He just never thought he'd be one of those strays.

It’s Not This Random Life Only by Cracklpop

(steter, mature, 34k)

When Stiles learns that his estranged father has died, he resigns himself to returning to Beacon Hills, a town he barely remembers. He's prepared to clean out his father's house and settle the estate. He's not as prepared for his father's mysterious girlfriend Talia, a series of unexplained animal attacks in the woods, and his own complicated feelings about what family means.

And he's certainly not prepared for Peter, Talia's much-too-tempting brother.

Give you that thing you can’t even imagine by LunaCanisLupus_22

(sterek, explicit, 10k)

The omegas came out onto the stage next, and Derek did his best to smile and shake hands with enough polite distance as possible, to avoid giving the impressionable ones ideas.

Or the one where mateless Derek thinks no omega can affect him like they do other alphas and he's about to find out he's very, very wrong.

With A Red Right Hand by Bittah_Wizard

(steter, explicit, 9.8k)

“It’s the eyes that give him away.”

An Assassins!AU that starts out slow but ends with a bang.

Return To Sender by Phlinting

(steter, mature, 57k)

Peter Hale only planned to be in Beacon Hills for a couple hours. Just like the last few visits he'd sneak in some "pack" time to avoid becoming omega by inhaling the familiar scents in Derek's loft, and then he'd quickly climb back out of the hellmouth the Hale pack had once called home.

It was the perfect treatment. No muss. No fuss. And doing it under the McCall alpha's nose without the failwolf even noticing was just a happy bonus.

Of course, Peter should have known that nothing in Beacon Hills was ever that easy…

Help Wanted (But Not Really) by reillyblack

(sterek, mature, 26k)

"Stiles, I'll clear up your confusion about the position. Derek here needs someone to live with him. He's a difficult person to live with, so I won't sugarcoat that. But his responsibilities at the company right now make it impossible for him to actually take care of himself and his home. That would be your job," Laura explained.

Both Stiles and Derek objected at the same time.

A Sliver of Sunlight by LeeBlack

(steter, mature, 37k)

The last thing that Stiles expected to see after coming into his room was Peter Hale, back from the dead and apparently sane. Well, relatively sane, all things considered.

And with everything that had happened in Beacon Hills recently, was it really so impossible to believe that, without the Alpha power trip, Peter was the sort of person who couldn't be trusted but was too interesting to be ignored?

Touch Therapy by syriala

(steter, GA, 4k)

“You’re hugging Peter,” Derek said from behind them, confusion very obvious in his voice.

“Yep,” Stiles gave back, not moving from his current position, speaking more into Peter’s hair than anything.

“Why are you hugging him?” Derek asked, and Stiles shrugged as best as he could, with his arms still around Peter.

“He just woke up from a coma. I don’t even want to think about how long he went without a hug,” Stiles gave back.

Or the one where Stiles derails Peter’s plans by aggressively hugging the shit out of him.

there’s only 11, because i’ve been busy and i’ve been at this list for a while. i swear the next one will be longer

and!!! i’ve got a “my top 10 favorite sterek fics” post soon. i’ll be posting it as soon as i go through my bookmarked on ao3.

Jason’s thinking up a way to get closer to see for himself. He knows that he and Dick were never that close, but part of him still isn’t satisfied just hearing the news secondhand. Part of him still needs closure.

Now if you don’t mind I’d appreciate it if you let me go so I can check to make sure my mentor is still alive.”

[solomonara]

I've been reading through all your DCU stuff on Ao3 and am so sad that I'm nearing the end! It's been a real joy to read your work. I love your characterizations and plot ideas <3 I'm in a huge Dick Grayson phase right now, and the way you write him and his relationships is lovely. At some point I hope to leave more specific, detailed comments on the individual works, but right now I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate what you've posted. *love*!

!!! Hello! Thank you! Oh gosh I feel like I should be dusting or something, it’s been so long since I’ve posted and I have a visitor ;;;

Don’t worry there will be more fic... eventually. I am working on a long one and I’m afraid the pandemic quite derailed me for several months but it’s COMING ALONG (she said with grim determination and a baleful glare at the open document). It’ll be the next (probably last) installment in the Chaos Theory series and it is at...77k so far. We’ll get there.

Would you like a snippet?? It’s so hard working on things without sharing them, and you have said such nice things, I’m going to give you a snippet.

"Batgirl and I will patrol tomorrow,” Bruce said. “Oracle will back us up from here. N—"

Dick raised an eyebrow at him.

Bruce cleared his throat. "I'm aware you have responsibilities in Bludhaven."

"Nothing that can't wait,” Dick said graciously. “What do you need, B?"

"I need you to work with Damian to defend the manor, just in case of attack. And in the meantime go over the existing defenses, working together, to patch any holes Damian identifies."

Dick and Damian eyed each other, each as unhappy as the other. "I can work with him if he can work with me," Dick said, though he spoke directly to Damian.

"I suppose you can't be entirely incompetent, given the night's events," Damian allowed, though grudgingly.

"Jason may be able to help," Bruce went on, pretending he didn't want to jump for joy at this show of camaraderie. "But remember, he's injured. Don't push him. Tim should stay out of it. Good luck with that."

Dick actually cracked a smile at that, but Damian nodded seriously.

"Good. And of course, you're all staying here tonight. Now get some rest."

"Don't have to tell me twice," Babs said, pushing away from the main console. Dick took up with her in a lazy amble and Steph joined them. Bruce heard her say "Yesss, bat-breakfast," under her breath as she passed.

Maybe Steve hadn’t exchanged more than a few words with Tall, Mysterious, and Very, Very, Very Handsome, but he hoped their eye contact—prolonged—meant as much to Mysterious as it did to him."

Omega Stiles hasn’t been updated in a while so here we go! - Jeep

Admittance by apocatits (8,083 | 1/1 | NR)

This is a short little late night writing I thought of years ago. It involves Derek and Stiles Co-Owning a company while hating on one another but lowkey wanting to…you know.

What Comes After by CracklPop ( 3,583 | 1/? | E)

To save Stiles’ life, alpha werewolf Derek Hale bites and turns him. Neither of them expects Stiles to change in the way he does. Reeling from personal tragedy, Stiles has a hard time coping with his new life. Derek, determined to reclaim what he’s lost, starts down a dark road, taking his pack with him. Set at the end of S2.

The Life Model by halcyon1993 (7,783 | 1/1 | E)

When Omega Stiles gets a bad grade in his life drawing class because he finds the Alpha model too distracting to actually draw anything, the Alpha convinces his teacher to give him a second chance. In private. What could possibly happen?

Stick or Twist by DemetraRoseRiddle (1,387 | 1/? | G)

Stiles really wasn`t sure what compelled him to enter ‘Stick or Twist’ but he was pretty sure that it might be because he couldn`t find love in the real world why not give a bunch of rich Alpha`s a try instead?
