Commission piece for “The Proposal” by superserum

“I got a little bit of sleep, but mostly I was too excited for you to be home,” Derek admitted, voice a little weaker than usual as he kept his eyes locked on the little box. He was prepared to talk as much as he needed to, as long as it would take for Stiles to notice to box. In fact, he opened his mouth to answer his next question, about to go grab his food from the kitchen, when the fork fell and clattered against the tray and the syrup jar was knocked over in the quest for the ring box, which Stiles had his hands on now. Doing a little damage control, Derek slid the tray safely away in an attempt the salvage the food in his boyfriend’s excitement. He watched as Stiles looked at the ring and tried to form words, but really it was just a few noises and hand gestures that made Derek laugh, scooting closer as he took the box gently from Stiles’s hands. “You’re my favorite person in the world. And I want to make you breakfast every morning, and kiss your drool-covered mouth to wake you up, and listen to you tell me stories,” Derek started to say, fidgeting with the ring and taking it out of the box. “You’ve really turned my life around for the better. And I can’t imagine living life without you by my side to help steady me. To keep me calm when I need it, and to help me loosen up when I’m too serious. I need that - I need you, okay?” God, he felt like he was rambling, but everything had been built up so much in their time apart that Derek didn’t want to leave anyone out, “I want to be the reason that you smile every day, just like you are for me. I want to be that for you forever.” He offered the ring out to Stiles with one hand, the anticipation at full blast now, “Will you marry me?” he added on, hands actually shaking a little now, licking his lips and watching Stiles.

*******************

And there Derek was again, perfectly saving his pancakes from complete and utter annihilation in Stiles’ excitement, laughing at his awkwardness and just generally being a beautiful person. It made his heart swell with everything. Joy, excitement, anxiety, exhilaration. When Derek took the box, his fingers were shaking and Stiles had to look down and count each one, flexing them in turn, then turning to his boyfriend with wide eyes as he spoke. Stiles wasn’t a big crier, he was usually the type of person that was shocked into silence, or who immediately got distracted by planning something for revenge. Even in happy movies, he just grinned and chuckled at everyone else who had tears down their faces. But it would be a blatant lie if he claimed that there weren’t tears beading down his eyes that slid down his cheeks when he grinned so hard that his eyes almost closed. Flinging himself at Derek, Stiles took the ring and pushed it onto his finger, clambering into his boyfriend – no, fiance’s – lap and kissing him silly. “Yes. Oh my god, Derek. You didn’t even need to ask. God, I love you so much and I had already asked – oh my god, were you in on this with my dad? Is that why he was so against me proposing to you for Christmas? Because, if not, we’re going to have a problem, but given that you have a good head on your shoulders…” he trailed off, shaking his head with a smile that hurt his cheeks as he held up his hand in front of Derek’s face. “Look!” Stiles chirped, rolling around in Derek’s lap so that his back was against his boyfriend’s chest and his hand was outstretched in front of the both of them. He tilted his head back and rested it on Derek’s shoulder, “I think it’s the second most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen, and you’re the first. But you could have proposed to me with a ringpop and I wouldn’t have cared, because I want to drool on your shoulder, and make you watch awful comedy movies with me, and have you console me when I mess up cooking rice – and I want that, and a cat, and a vegetable garden, all with you. Forever.”

(friendly reminder I read almost only Explicit or Mature fics) (* are my fav) 

☾   You Saw Me Standing Alone,  by orphan_account  :  A pack of alpha werewolves is burning a war path through Beacon Hills; Stiles shouldn’t have the luxury of trying to get laid.  (43k, E)  

☾ *  Connected,  by  readridinghood : After the death of his wife, Stiles finds himself left alone with their three children, struggling to keep from being sucked into a void of grief and despair that her death left him with. Knowing his children are safe in the pack’s arms under Derek’s watchful eyes, he struggles to regain his footing. What do you do when the world keeps tumbling over you and what you’ve thought of as fact no longer holds true? As the world comes back into focus, so does the love for Derek he thought he’d long since conquered and now with his eyes open, what he thought was the end of him, is only a new beginning. A decade after he fell in love with Stiles, countless days of keeping himself restrained while building a friendship with him, Derek finds out with absolute certainty that Stiles is his mate. You only mate once in your life, so how is it that Stiles was mated to Sophia, his wife and mother of his three children, the woman he is grieving the loss of at the same moment that Derek makes his discovery.  (114k, E)

☾  Broken Cookie, Shattered Glass,  by clawstoagunfight  :    After Stiles’ best friend moves out of the apartment the two of them have shared for the last five years and into his own in a different city with his fiancee, Stiles is in desperate need of a new roommate. After a dinner with the Hale family, Stiles finally has a new roommate. The only problem is that he seems to hate Stiles’ guts.  (36k, E)    

☾  The Road Less Traveled,  by  gryvon : Stiles doesn’t want to die in a basement. No one is going to die in the Argent’s basement, not if he can help it. (25k, E)

☾ *  Out of Focus , by   exclamation : Stiles was taken prisoner by a coven of witches. Now his only chance of getting home is if he learns how to control his own magic… and stops blowing stuff up by accident. With surging power inside him that he can’t restrain, Stiles must deal with memories of the nogitsune, and fears that he might end up hurting those he cares about. Meanwhile, his family and friends don’t even know if he’s alive. His father desperately searches for answers, and Derek will do anything in his power to find Stiles, even if it means asking an Argent for help. (71k, E)

☾  You Smell Like Mine, by bleep0bleep, marguerite_26 : People talk about the alpha instinct, an alpha’s head being swayed by a nice-smelling omega, or the desire to drop everything and show off. Derek’s never felt any of that. He’s just not that kind of alpha.Then he meets Stiles. (13k, E)

☾ *  Only Fools Do What I Do,   by  CharWright5   : It had seemed like a simple plan, a way for everyone to get what they want: pretend to be Bond-Mates so Derek could get the teaching job he wanted, while Stiles didn’t have to face living with a total stranger at college and have it be known that he was suffering from night-terrors. Only things weren’t that simple. Because they were Mates, a fact Derek was hiding due to Stiles’ determination not to have one and his need for independence, as well as his Alpha-aimed anger at his lack of freedom. But the longer they live together, the more Derek finds himself falling for the Omega, and the harder it is for the Alpha to resist the alluring scent of his Mate. (110k, E)

☾   But You Might Think I’m a Big Bad Wolf, So I Won’t,  by   WithMyTeeth : Another “Stiles dresses Red Riding Hood for Halloween and goes clubbing at The Jungle” fic, but this time he catches the attention of the wrong Big Bad (until the right one comes along). (9k, E)

 ☾   Chosen  , by   exclamation  : By tradition, when the Hale heir comes of age, the alpha can choose one boy to serve as the heir’s slave for a month. When Peter Hale chooses Stiles, Stiles expects to spend a month being used and abused. But it seems Derek Hale doesn’t want a sex slave any more than Stiles wants to be one. Unfortunately, they’re stuck with each other. They have to make it through the next month without killing each other, and without getting Peter Hale to order Stiles’ death. Meanwhile, Stiles wants to know why exactly Peter picked him. (99k, E)

☾ *  This is Ridiculous ,  by zosofi  :  There’s a unicorn in Beacon Hills. A fricken’ unicorn. In fricken’ Beacon Hills, California.

☾   Between Men and Lions,  by   standinginanicedress : “I thought we could be friends,” Derek offers, to which Stiles gets an odd smile on his face.“Friends,” he repeats, an odd inflection.“Yes, friends.” Stiles laughs, just barely. It’s more of an exhalation of breath than it is genuine mirth or anything else, and then he smiles. “I’m pretty good at friends,” he says with a tilt to his head, and Derek clears his throat and has to look away. (102k, E)

☾  See Me Bare My Teeth For You,  by  derekstilinski : Derek falls into a deep depression after his pack leaves him. Stiles is the only one he lets in.Stiles doesn’t ask about all of the mirrors in the house, or why some of the glass shards on the floor are edged with blood.

“Why did you become a pilot?” Part 1 (Keith) - | - Part 2: Lance (coming soon)

A project that kinda fell on me unexpectedly, but i’m so glad I made it. A bit of a character study for Keith, and I wanted to release this before season 6 just in case we got some of his backstory and it turns out his dad didn’t die or something

This is a bit ambitious of a project for me and the second part might take me a while to get to since I’ll be starting work this week, but I’m going to aim to get it done and out before the end of June!

you can follow my WIP of the project on my patreon ;)

It was only when Lance was forced to distance himself for the safety of his friends, that he realised how much they cared.

A trap - Pidge knew it was a trap. There was no way it couldn’t be, and it cost them Lance.

And when Lance came back - his smile didn’t reach his eyes, and his hand was no longer outstretched for the others to hold.

Happy Halloween with some creature lance from Voltron Watercast!

[itsmindlessmatter]

Hello! I was wondering if I could get any fics where Derek keeps his relationship with Stiles a secret and hurts/betrays him in someway. Particularly any High School AU? Thanks so much for all the hard work! I have read so many great fics that I have found through here.

Ok, so I tried to stick to High School AUs, and they should feature some sort of secret relationship/closeted!Derek/internalized homophobia jam which probably leads to Stiles’ hurt feelings.  Hope they’re what you’re looking for!  -Emmy

SB 242 by GobsmackApplejack 

(10,705 I Explicit I Complete)  *high school au, human au

“Mr. Harris?”  Scott thrusts his hand into the air, sounding panicked. “I think Stiles has some kind of infection?!  Can you check?”

Harris purses his lips, exhales loudly and makes his way over.

“Boys, if you are messing around this is going to be detention.”

“No sir. I just want to make sure Stiles is okay.  Like, what if he has walking pneumonia?  He could be sick and not feel it.”  Then, more quietly to Stiles, “You pooped twice today.  Maybe this is why.”

xXx

Stiles is sent to the principal’s office.  Shenanigans ensue.  (Actually, the shenanigans already started — and will continue indefinitely.)

His douchebag friends like to think Stiles is just a nerd but Derek is not so sure about that. In the meantime, Peter has money to spend, likes pale faces, moles and slim bodies.

Insane Chemistry (with Derek Hale) by theroguesgambit

(13,539 I Mature I Complete)   *human au, jock!derek, popular!derek, fuckbuddies to lovers

Derek is the popular, varsity jock, prom king of the school, and Stiles is not going to be the cliche that ends up falling for him. (It’s not a cliche if no one else knows about it, right?)

Derek has only ever known the life of crime. Stiles is a straight A’s student with a bright future. After their lives collided, the two have been seeing each other secertly without incident.

But now Derek’s uncle is back in town, acting as a catalyst to jealous ex’s, ruthless crime lords, dealing with aftermath of past abuse and testing how strong their relationship can be.

He does this thing then, while Stiles is watching, rolls his left shoulder a little as if he’s adjusting the books in his arms and suddenly Stiles recognises him from the gesture.

“Oh my god,” he cries, dumping his books, bag and coffee into one big mess on the ground and rushing over to them at once.

Or the one where Derek and Stiles are childhood buddies who lost touch and reconnect by chance at college. Only they end up doing a lot more than just reconnecting.

The Wonderful Mess We Made by haleonwheels 

(34,619 I Explicit I Complete)  *brothers!scott and derek, artist!derek,

Derek is Scott’s rude older brother. Scott is Stiles’ new best friend. Stiles is in a really hard situation (in more ways than one).

Or the one where Stiles Stilinski moves to Beacon Hills from New York City and immediately befriends Scott McHale. Scott tells Stiles he’s an only child–except he really, really isn’t. So how was Stiles supposed to know Derek From The Jungle is actually Derek McHale, Scott’s older brother that he kept secret for a reason?

You Look Like Bad News (I gotta Have You) by standinginanicedress 

(38,954 I Explicit I Complete)  *a/b/o dynamics, heating cycles, high school au

Option A : violently tell Derek that they are under no circumstances ever to hook up again because it was stupid and dumb.

Option B : tell Scott the truth, stand back and watch as Scott kills Derek with his bare hands so Stiles doesn’t even have to face the music. Not an option at all, actually. Expunge this from the record.

The real Option B : calmly explain to Derek that the situation is too fucked up and hey, maybe if Derek and Scott ever shake hands and make up, he and Stiles can hook up again because, man…it was great.

Option C : forget everything, charge headfirst into danger like fuckin’ Bravehart and have sex with Derek all over again.

Option D : bury himself alive and wait for the worms to eat him.

“I thought we could be friends,” Derek offers, to which Stiles gets an odd smile on his face.

“Yes, friends.”

Stiles laughs, just barely. It’s more of an exhalation of breath than it is genuine mirth or anything else, and then he smiles. “I’m pretty good at friends,” he says with a tilt to his head, and Derek clears his throat and has to look away.

The One Where They’re Forced to Marry in Ye Olden Times by Stoney 

(16,100 I Explicit I Complete)  *no werewolves/human au, past kate/derek

Due to the destruction of House Hale and the debts incurred in their survival and search for justice, the King (blah blah, make believe world) arranges a marriage between Derek and Stiles, eliminating all debts the Hales may owe. Derek is very unhappy. Stiles is pretty shocked at who he’s being matched with, but he’s certainly not unhappy. It’s pretty clear from the start Derek doesn’t share that feeling.

Stiles passes the time by hunting with his falcon, Derek broods. Until…

Swan Princess AU: Once upon a time there was a king named William who ruled a large and mighty kingdom, but he was very sad because he was growing old and had no child to inherit the throne. Then, happily, a son was born. A prince. And he was given the named Genim. Kings and queens came from all over the land. Among them was Queen Uberta and her young son Prince Derek.

Somewhere to Start by Lissadiane 

(33,552 I Teen I Complete)   *fae!stiles, alive hale family

Stiles has always known that he isn’t quite human - the plant life that tends to sprout around him whenever he gets upset or excited gives it away. He’s never really fit in among the regular people in Beacon Hills and is determined to wait it out, go to college, and find somewhere to belong. He’s forced to abandon those plans, however, after he desperately agrees to enter into an arranged marriage to save his father’s life.

An arranged marriage with an angry, sometimes furry dude with trust issues. It’s all very Beauty and the Beast, without the singing candlesticks.

A Wolf’s Ribbon by Dexterous_Sinistrous 

(36,091 I Explicit I Complete)   *fantasy, alive hale family, mpreg, the hale fire

Derek had been coached on how to approach the child heir apparent while hundreds of eyes watched him. He kept his eyes focused on the cradle, leaning over the edge as best he could to see the baby everyone had been talking about.

Stiles smiled when he saw Derek, kicking his legs out as he reached a hand up for him. He cooed at Derek, his fingers grabbing at the older boy in an attempt to touch him, all to no avail. He gurgled out a laugh when Derek reached a hand down into the cradle, snatching hold of his fingers as best he could.

Derek offered a small smile in response, allowing Stiles to playfully tug on his hand.

The two children made an adorable sight before the Court and their parents. That was the moment Queen Talia and King John decided to arrange their marriage. Every second was planned out without the voiced concern of the children.

A Desperate Arrangement by mikkimouse 

(115,506 I Explicit I Complete)  *werewolves are known

“I’m sorry, I believe there’s something wrong with my hearing,” Stiles said. “Because I could have sworn you just told me you set up a betrothal agreement with the Hales. A betrothal agreement involving me.  Me.”

Scott smiled his easygoing smile and nodded, which told Stiles no, he hadn’t misheard a damn thing.

After seven years of lengthy negotiations, the treaty between the Hales and the Argents has fallen apart and the two countries fell into war.

Months later, there’s an uneasy truce, thanks to the intervention of King Scott McCall, but it won’t last. In a desperate attempt to maintain the peace, the Hales sign a treaty with the McCalls to marry Prince Derek to Prince Stiles Stilinski, King Scott’s brother.

In the history of the world, there have been many better ideas.

Hello! I was just wondering if you knew any Sterek fics that have Derek developing feeling for Stiles first, before Stiles feels the same? Thank you!

Burning bright by artisan447

(1/1 I 1,053 I Teen)

Stiles goes to college, and Derek absolutely does not pine. No, really. He’s FINE.

Game On by stilinskisparkles

(1/1 I 6,391 I Teen)

Derek first sees him from across the quad four days into fall semester. He’s sitting on one of the long benches, a marker pen in his mouth, grinning at something the kid lounging on the bench beside him is saying. When he laughs properly he pulls the pen out and throws his head back, his neck a long, lean line Derek is entranced by. He flicks the page in his book and highlights something, tossing the cap up in the air and catching it with his teeth.

low Hands by aussiebee

(1/1 I 8,489 I Explicit)

Derek is suddenly made aware of Stiles in an entirely new and uncomfortable way; specifically, his hands. His wide, strong, clever and dextrous hands.

Derek is kinda screwed.

You Smell Like Mine by bleep0bleep, marguerite_26

(1/1 I 13,440 I Explicit)

People talk about the alpha instinct, an alpha’s head being swayed by a nice-smelling omega, or the desire to drop everything and show off. Derek’s never felt any of that. He’s just not that kind of alpha.

Then he meets Stiles.

Show Me The Way Back Home Baby by stilinskisparkles

(1/1 I 14,986 I Teen)

In which Lydia and Jackson produce the world’s cutest baby, and the pack goes crazy– the good kind of crazy. Except for Derek, who is afraid of tiny cute babies and Stiles who plans to be the best Uncle ever. Even if Danny called dibs on Godfather.

Mating Habits of the Domesticated North American Werewolf by lielabell

(5/5 I 35,458 I Mature)

Derek doesn’t do pining. He doesn’t. So when it becomes clear that Stiles is much more interested in having Derek as a new best friend than a boyfriend, he puts on his big boy pants and makes it fucking work. He becomes the best goddamn friend a spastic teenager could ever hope to have.

The Quickest Way to a Man’s Heart (is Through His Bottomless Pit) by isthatbloodonhisshirt (wasterella)

(5/5 I 54,152 I Explicit)

Pulling open his apartment door, he let out an involuntary shout when something was quite literally thrust into his chest hard enough to have him almost tip backwards. He managed to right himself while keeping hold of what had been shoved at him and looked up in time to see his neighbour striding back towards his apartment.

“You’re going to fucking kill yourself.”

His door slammed.

Stiles blinked at the other man’s door, utterly confused, and looked down at what he was holding.

It was a plastic bag, full of what felt like tupperware, which made no sense to Stiles because when had his neighbour broken into his house to steal his tupperware?

Bruises and Hickies, Stitches and Scars by ElisAttack

(12/12 I 89,808 I Explicit)

“You’re my lawyer, Derek. What are you going to do, draft up a contract for yourself?”

Or the one where Stiles is a professional dominant, Derek is his lawyer, and their professional relationship suddenly becomes not so professional.

Also, faeries.

Bad Habits by Fudgebug

(!2/12 I 108,296 I Explicit)

“Mmmmh pretty.“ Stiles purrs in a way that makes a wild fire torch the planes of his skin.He knows Stiles is drunk and that the boy would probably stroke a pineapple and compliment its attractiveness, but Derek can’t help the way his heart starts to be a huge backstabbing dick, thundering uncontrollably against his chest.It’s painful, because Derek knows it isn’t real.

A story about goody-two-shoes Derek crushing on a Polish Prince Charming with a drinking habit - also the universe keeps on shoving astral poop into his face. It’s utterly spectacular.

We Have Worn Out the Meaning of Our Clothes by MonsterTesk

(62/62 I 109.924 I Explicit)

It takes Derek a long time to find out and he’s very unhappy about it. It’s not that Stiles is with someone else, it’s who he’s with… he keeps telling himself. It’s been a long time since Stiles and him were a thing anyway. He’s way over that now. Besides, it’s not like the two of them could ever possibly last. Derek can just bide his time and watch the inevitable train wreck this will turn into.

All the Weird Kids (Know How to Take it Slow) by Ionaonie

(1/1 I 112,477 I General)

Stiles never thought being part of a werewolf Pack would end up being so normal. Even being around Derek had a degree of normality about it. Even if he was still an overbearing jerk most of the time.

After the death of his wife, Stiles finds himself left alone with their three children, struggling to keep from being sucked into a void of grief and despair that her death left him with. Knowing his children are safe in the pack’s arms under Derek’s watchful eyes, he struggles to regain his footing. What do you do when the world keeps tumbling over you and what you’ve thought of as fact no longer holds true? As the world comes back into focus, so does the love for Derek he thought he’d long since conquered and now with his eyes open, what he thought was the end of him, is only a new beginning.A decade after he fell in love with Stiles, countless days of keeping himself restrained while building a friendship with him, Derek finds out with absolute certainty that Stiles is his mate. You only mate once in your life, so how is it that Stiles was mated to Sophia, his wife and mother of his three children, the woman he is grieving the loss of at the same moment that Derek makes his discovery.

Monday dawned fresh and cool and with a lack of Stilinski.

The buzz in the school changed over the week, once Derek started paying attention to it. No longer was the student body talking about where the students were going on vacation, or lack thereof for the more middle-class populace. They were bandying about a different series of words instead.

Three years ago, Stiles left Beacon Hills looking for answers to the magical clusterfuck he’d become. Now he’s returned to find that the Alpha has changed, his best friend is a ranking pack member, and Jackson is an emotionally screwed faerie. Yet, Beacon Hills hasn’t changed a bit.

Lenara says it’s because it was waiting for the last piece on the board to return to its proper position. And even though she’s a bit of a pervy gmilf (but seriously how old is she?), she’s always right. But it can’t ever be as simple as that because Stiles has been hiding behind masks for so long, he isn’t sure who he is any longer.

Between Counsel designs, forgotten memories, the unstable barrier, magical catastrophes, and residual insecurities, Stiles, Derek, and the Beacon Pack must come into themselves, their place in Beacon Hills and trust each other if they want to make it out alive.

Curtains back, masks on…Let the show begin.

hiii!!! you’re really getting me into sterek here 😂 i was wondering if you have a list of top canon fics? thank you!!!

Sorry Im late to answer you !! (also ‘canon fics’ is something unclear for me in Sterek fandom. So let’s say  : fics that are closed to what’s happening in the TV-show - as werewolves, kind of hate to friendship to love, villains are canon, etc, -  but can also be a tad/lot different)

* are my fav!

-*Lap Magnet: Wherein an ill-advised floral arrangement leads to a whole new definition of obliviousness, accidental mate-bonds, and far more sex and tropes than one fic really needs.or Five times Derek and Stiles didn’t notice how close they were (literally) and then a whole bunch of times when they did… (30k)

- He’s Not Mine      : Derek comes home to find an abandoned werebaby on his front porch and Stiles volunteers to help him out. Surprisingly, that is just the beginning of his problems. (68k)

- * The Price : Stiles must surrender the most important thing in his life to protect the town… and no one can figure out what it was. (18k, M)

- The Walls Are Breathing In : Nothing could go wrong.  It was just supposed to be a safe  trip to the Nemeton. But this is Beacon Hills and things are rarely that simple.  Welcome to the life of Stiles Stilinski. Or, that time that Stiles accidentally became a sorcerer against his will. (41k, E)

- * When I’m Gone : Stiles is leaving. For good if he has any say in it. He gave everything to them and received nothing in return, so who can blame him for wanting to leave and find his place in the world. Apparently? Everyone and their uncle. (108k, E)

- Wayward and Down: Pack is family. Family is everything.This is Stiles’ senior year, and it’s nothing he could have imagined.orThat time it took not one, but two separate troll attacks and a malevolent coven of witches for Stiles to figure out how he felt about Derek. (32k)

- Stay.: He leaves because the press of Derek’s lips and the sting of his teeth against Stiles’ neck are still burning his skin, and he can’t stop touching them, but then he remembers Derek telling him he’s not pack, he never was, and that he doesn’t belong here.He leaves because Lydia asks him too, but he doesn’t go back to Beacon Hills because no one asked him to come back. (15k)

- Fault Line : When Derek comes to, his head hurts.No, hurts is the wrong word. It’s not strong enough. His head feels like it’s being split in two, down the middle. His ears are ringing, and his vision is blurred.But despite it all, strong and crisp and clear, is the underlying scent of home, pack, and mate. (11k)

- * between the click of the light and the start of the dream : It’s Stiles’ senior year, and he’s trying to concentrate on normal things - like the lacrosse championship, spring break, prom, graduation (and definitely not Derek) - when he starts having nightmares and waking up in the middle of nowhere. Oh yeah, and he’s being haunted by a hag. Great. (105k, E)*

(more under the cut, it’s a long one sorry!)
