Sterek for me is something personal. Every time when I realised that they are not canon it's feeling like someone comes to me and said "you can't be happy. It's impossible for you. Just look at them. They are struggling and never be together. So as you"
woke up thinking about how derek hale rebuilt stiles's jeep. like that wouldn't be a cheap endeavor. he spent a small fortune probably on getting the right parts and poured in a lot of time into doing the work.
he had "complicated" feelings about that jeep.
a metaphor for derek working on himself? a metaphor for his feelings for stiles?
doesn't matter.
it was a love letter.
because one doesn't go through all that effort and not love a person.
It's still a mystery for me. Why did Stiles just lay on the floor? It's still between those two. It's not helping at all. I mean, why didn't he run? Or maybe it's like with dogs? No sudden movements or they attack?
I think they just ignored this shit. Like "if I pretend that I didn't hear that..."
this is only the second episode of the entire show and the amount of times scott and stiles have important, werewolf related conversations loudly in the vicinity of other people cannot be calculated. i'm amazed that at this point only jackson suspects shenanigans because the entire boy's lacrosse team has heard some weird shit.
Stiles, under stress, says what comes to mind. Just imagine Stiles saying: "Scott, he's dying! Scott, he's dead! He has such soft ears, what soft ears! How nice it is to touch them!"
Do you remember when Scott thought that Derek died (s03e05) and he wasn’t able to heal because he felt guilty for his death?
Well, after Allison helps him to heal, one of the first things he says is: “Stiles, where’s Stiles?” even if there is no reason to believe he is in danger. It’s like Scott’s last promise to Derek was to keep Stiles safe.

I’ve always believed that (until season 4) it was Derek who acknowledged and understood his feelings for Stiles (Stiles was just…well…Stiles. Kinda lost in his Lydia world, wondering about his sexuality). Scott knew it though, like every body else in the pack, simply because Derek made it very clear to them:
But he tried so hard to keep him away. For so many reasons:
1) Stiles is a “child”
2) “I killed my first love”
3) “people I love die”
4) Trust issues
5) He knows and respects the feelings Stiles has for Lydia
“Sometimes the shape you take reflects the person that you are. Even Stiles calls her cold-blooded.”
6) He loves Stiles’ smile. And he knows how dangerous and painful a relationship with a werewolf can be.
But nobody can deny that Derek is totally in love with Stiles, because:
1) He makes him smile:
2) And makes him act like a baby (because he had to grow up so fast that he’s still a child in so many ways, SO BASICALLY WHAT STILES GIVES HIM IS WHAT HE NEVER HAD THE CHANCE TO HAVE):
(come on, Derek. No one believes you)
3) This little, defenceless human is a hero, a BAMF and he’s not afraid of him
4) this BAMF is kind and funny and brave and full of love
5) He dreams of him
6) no words needed
7) Derek kinda freaks out every time Stiles is in danger
8) COME ON THIS SCENE
And then, finally, it looks like Stiles understands something (and, yes, it looks like our ship is going to become canon)
BUT…Season 3B. Stiles literally loses his mind (STILES WHAT ARE YOU DOING)
While Derek’s still totally and madly in love with him:
And the Nogitsune knows it:
But then season 4 comes, and while Derek finds a distraction (okay, totally fair)…
…Malia decides that Stiles is her mate:
And then Stiles finally gets it:
Because when you’re losing someone…
…you understand how much that someone is important to you.
To the question of Derek's dream. Derek dreams of Stiles. They talk about how Stiles distinguishes between dream and reality. but. For Derek to have a dream about how Stiles distinguishes reality from a dream, Derek must really know about Stiles' fingers. Stiles only talked about his method with Scott. There are three versions; Derek heard it himself (by accident), Scott told Derek, Derek and Stiles talked about it, or Derek himself witnessed Stiles' panic attack - and they counted their fingers together with Stiles
