title: (there’s) no smoke without fire rating: explicit word count: 6,265

author’s summary:

They kiss for entirely too long. If anyone found them in the woods just then they would be like, dudes, this is excessive.

lonewolfandlittlered’s summary:

“Yeah. Me. Stiles Stilinski. Bonjour. I like to read, Derek, and I read a lot. Sometimes it even cuts into my porn-watching.” Derek narrows his eyes, then blinks them, so Stiles rushes on: “My best friend became a supernatural creature, and I learned everything I could about said creatures. Way too much, actually. Way, way too much. Because I also started feeling fuzzy feelings for a guy who mostly looks at me like he wants to eat me when he isn't looking like he wants to fuck me. To death. You think I'm not going to read up on why that could be the case?”

“Stiles. Shush. You don't know what you're--” Derek is actually blushing, and it's so glorious that Stiles absolutely does not shush.

[lonewolfandlittlered]

"Stiles." "Derek." "You should go." "What if I don’t want to?" "Stiles…" "Tell me to stop and I will." Derek didn’t say a word.

title: once more i trust to have rating: explicit word count: 6,557

author's summary:

“You realize Derek's birthday is tomorrow and you have nothing planned,” Isaac sighs, rubbing his temples. Stiles is unconcerned—it's pretty much what's happened every year.

“Details,” Stiles says with a dismissive wave.

11: Collarbone Kiss - Sterek please :)

Stiles grabs Derek’s hand and pulls him into the pantry. “Stiles, what are you – “

“I’m looking for cookies,” Stiles says as he pushes Derek against the pantry shelves. Derek blinks at him in surprise and glances over at the half-open door. The Pack are in the living room, and Stiles can hear Allison looking through a cabinet in the kitchen just outside the door. “I’m not looking for cookies,” Stiles whispers with a grin as he presses against Derek.

“I figured as much,” Derek replies, eyebrows lifted in amusement.

“This shirt should be illegal,” Stiles groans, sliding his hands along the soft lavender fabric. He trails his fingertips along Derek’s exposed throat, the bit of chest peeking from the low V of the t-shirt. “I can’t stop staring at you. It’s like torture, a Stiles-specific torture device. Death-by-Derek’s-chest.”

“So, you decided to shove me in the pantry to do what exactly?” His face is blank, but Stiles can tell he’s trying hard to suppress a smile.

“I’m not going to blow you, if that’s what you’re hoping,” Stiles whispers against Derek’s mouth, just inches from his lips but not touching. From this close, he can see the color rise in Derek’s cheeks, see his frustration at Stiles’ suggestion. Stiles smirks. “You’d like that, wouldn’t you? Me to go down on my knees and suck you off right here, in Allison’s pantry.”

Derek swallows, his Adam’s apple bobbing prominently in his throat. “Too bad,” Stiles whispers, hooking his finger in the collar of Derek’s shirt and pulling it down. The delicate jut of Derek’s clavicle has been teasing him all night, begging to be kissed and licked and bitten. Stiles drops open-mouthed kisses along Derek’s collarbone, and Derek’s hand comes up to thread into Stiles’ hair. Stiles licks the hollow of Derek’s throat before kissing along the other side of Derek’s collarbone, his tongue dragging along the narrow bone before he nips at it playfully.

“They’re in the pantry making out,” Allison calls from the kitchen. “Start the movie without them.”

“We’re not making out!” Stiles yells back, and then dissolves into a fit of laughter, folding himself onto Derek’s chest, face pressing into Derek’s neck.

“We should get back,” Derek says, a few chuckles rumbling low in his chest.

“I could give you that blowjob now,” Stiles suggests, waggling his eyebrows.

Derek rolls his eyes. “You’re not blowing me in Allison’s pantry,” he says as he grabs Stiles’ hand and heads towards the door. “At least not tonight.”

title: my soul in your arms rating: mature word count: 6,844

author's summary:

Stiles' has a secret: He can see dæmons. Dæmons, who aren't actually part of his world, but who he'd never give up, because Castoria is his everything. But then Werewolves and Kanimas happen and suddenly his already-a-bit-supernatural world gets really weird... Especially when it turns out that Derek seems to see Castoria, too.

lonewolfandlittlered's summary:

HIS DARK MATERIALS CROSSOVER. I REPEAT: HIS DARK MATERIALS CROSSOVER.

[lonewolfandlittlered]

title: hands too shaky to hold rating: mature word count: 14,124

author's summary:

When Derek shows up late to his art class, the last person he expects to see modeling is Stiles.

lonewolfandlittlered's summary:

He had rehearsed what he was going to say to Stiles. He was going to ask him for coffee, like old friends, acquaintances do. He was going to behave himself and be interested in what Stiles was doing and – he should be in college now – maybe, studying. He wasn’t going to ask why Stiles was posing naked for a bunch of people paying to draw him. Not at all.

The shock of seeing Stiles in his scruffy slippers, his old worn robe, made all thoughts of this vanish from Derek’s brain. He had to look down at his blank page, wait until the urge to push up, to tear everyone else in the room apart and take Stiles and just go dissipated, diminished. When he looked back up, Stiles had shoved the robe to one side and slumped down on the stool. He was still not looking at Derek, watching the bare floor boards at his feet instead.

[lonewolfandlittlered]

title: remember me rating: teen+ word count: 3,801

author's summary:

When Stiles wakes up he sees a pair of eyebrows knitted together. He blinks and a blurry face comes into view. The face looks angry, no, furious.

lonewolfandlittlered's summary:

Isaac draws a whole comic strip on Stiles’ leg cast. Scott draws Allison’s name with a heart around it and Stiles yells at him. Allison visits and crosses it out, puts Stiles in there instead. Stiles decides he likes her on the spot. Hopes whatever they were in the past, they were friends. They were, Allison tells him before bursting into tears.

She brings him photographs of local areas, the forest, his school, his college. It blows his mind how much things have changed. He feels lightheaded and exhausted afterwards. Reaches for Derek without thinking. Derek sits on the bed with him and talks about a tree house Stiles and Isaac built. The sign they put outside that said no fighting and so Scott and Derek weren’t allowed inside.

[lonewolfandlittlered]

title: bones straining under the weight rating: explicit word count: 15,645

author's summary:

One of Stiles' favorite things about life is Derek Hale's food blog. He never expects to meet the man in person.

lonewolfandlittlered's summary:

Derek is a food blogger who's also deaf. So fucking adorable I almost puked.

[lonewolfandlittlered]

title: not a solid, but a soft thing rating: explicit word count: 6,968

author's summary:

Stiles has just sat down at the wrought-iron table with her pumpkin spice latte when Erin says, voice heavy with awe, "Oh my god, who is that?"

They all turn to look, Stiles last of all, and she takes a brief moment to be glad she'd already settled her coffee on the table when she sees him, leaning casually against his Camaro not three feet away, looking like something straight out of a fantasy. He's forgone the leather jacket, choosing instead a simple gray henley; the sleeves are pushed up to his elbows, and the fabric clings tight to the breadth of his shoulders, hangs loose from his ridiculous pecs. The way his black jeans hug his thighs makes her mouth go dry. He's staring right at them, mouth curled in a faint smile. She's on her feet instantly, grinning wildly. "Derek," she says, and then she's around the table and throwing herself at him.

lonewolfandlittlered's summary:

girl!Stiles is a thing I enjoy. It's a thing I enjoy a lot. I'm kind of in love with how at ease they are with each other in this and it makes me want to drown in a pile of future!fic induced feels.

[lonewolfandlittlered]

title: it is so quite new a thing rating: explicit word count: 8,713

author's summary:

In the last, lazy moment before he opens his eyes, Derek realizes something is wrong.

lonewolfandlittlered's summary:

"Look at me," Derek says, and Stiles does, because what else is he going to do. It's weird to look into his own face, weird to trust that this other self can help him, but weirder still is the fact that he can feel the magic receding, feel himself growing steadier and calmer under his own gaze. "That's it," Derek says softly. "Just keep focused on me."

And Stiles realizes in a split-second's heartbeat that he means something to Derek, that the ways Derek's body's beginning to calm runs along well-established grooves. This isn't the first time he's grounded himself through Stiles; this isn't the first time his body has stilled itself this way. "Oh, wow," Stiles manages, and he sees his other face pink up.

title: your words are robbery rating: explicit word count: 12,125

author's summary:

When Stiles is dragged back to Beacon Hills, he has to face everything he left behind.

lonewolfandlittlered's summary:

[lonewolfandlittlered]

So here is the Top 25 Sterek Fanfiction List as voted by you guys. *This is in alphabetical order not by votes.

1. A California Werewolf in New York  bydancinbutterfly & knight_tracer  (oneshot | 16,311 | NC-17)

When Derek finally realizes that there’s nothing left for him in Beacon Hills, he goes back to New York, gets a life, falls in love and finds his home. (A podfic/fanfic collaboration)

2 Alpha Spikes by starbeast (complete | 62,705 | NC-17)

AU. Alphas are like royalty and are offered their choice of any age eighteen-and-up virgin Omega for each year’s heat season, as a ‘thank-you’ to all they’ve done for their compounds throughout the year. Derek is an Alpha and…yeah, Stiles. Stiles is an Omega. And still a virgin. In every way. And he’s just turned eighteen. This…is not his day.

3. By Any Other Name by entanglednow (oneshot | 33,090 | NC-17)

He doesn’t know his name, he doesn’t know who he is, and neither does the werewolf he’s on the run with. But he’s pretty sure they hunt monsters, because they seem to be really good at it.

4. Come Fly With Me (or don’t) by stilinskisparkles (oneshot | 15,325 | R)

Stiles is overworked and stressed out when his flight home gets delayed due to copious amounts of snow. He finds entertainment with one Derek Hale, whom he hasn’t seen since high school but really doesn’t mind getting reacquainted with.

Especially when it turns out Derek is surprisingly hilarious and will reluctantly play snap with him. And can walk on his hands.

5. Crash Landers by gyzym (oneshot | 31,173 | PG-13)

In which Stiles learns to Stalk That Stalk. (Or, how to accidentally woo your unfriendly neighborhood alpha in roughly five hundred handwritten steps.)

6. Cupboard Love by mklutz (complete | 32,682 | G)

He’s carefully balancing the sandwiches and the two biggest tupperware containers he could find that both had functioning lids when the front door opens and he almost drops everything right there in front of the stupid fountain.

If that’s Derek Hale, he’s definitely not a mountain man.

7. DILF by twentysomething (oneshot | 30,871 | NC-17)

"Today is Scott’s first day of kindergarten and Derek is terrified."

8. Gravity’s Got Nothing on You by zosofi (complete | 83,980 | NC-17)

“Three weeks,” Derek says.

“Still don’t want to,” Stiles says.

“I’ll pay you,” Derek says, and that… that has Stiles interested. Alf’s Antique’s may be a great job, but it’s not a high-paying job, and half of Stiles’s tuition is coming from financial aid, so…

“How much,” Stiles asks, “are we talking here? Because I know your family, dude. And it’ll be kind of awkward after.“

“My family thinks you’re some sort of fucking gift to the world,” Derek seethes, like he’s jealous, “they’ll probably be pissed at me when we break it off, so don’t worry about that. Five hundred bucks.”

“A thousand,” Stiles says, because screw ethics. Also, the Hale family is loaded. Derek can deal.

9. Hide of a Life of War by Etharei (oneshot | 26,083 | NC-17)

“We have received confirmation that there is a hostage situation in progress at a warehouse compound two hours out of Los Angeles, following a multiple-vehicle pileup on Highway 101 this morning…”

The one in which Stiles has lived to (legal) adulthood and, along the way, become a bit of a badass himself.

10. Howlin For You by Lenore (oneshot | 33,050 | NC-17)

A college AU with strippers, crime bosses, and a mystery to solve.

11. In This Twilight How Dare You Speak of Grace by secondstar (complete | 28,712 | NC-17)

Zombies. Stiles always knew the world would end this way.

12. Integral to Survival by asocialfauxpas (oneshot | 8,529 | R)

Derek is in the cell for about ten minutes before the lone door opens and a new body is tossed in. The person hits the floor with a grunt, rolls, and stands as the door is clanging shut.

“That’s really not the way to treat a guest!”

13. Just Act Normal by zosofi (complete | 78,677 | NC-17)

If someone had told Stiles back in high school that he would be an Oscar winning actor by the time he turned 25, he would’ve probably told Scott to punch them. The thing is, though…they would’ve been right.

Which makes returning to Beacon Hills, center of all that is supernatural and better left avoided, all the more awkward.

14. Kaleidoscope by Vendelin (complete | 54,206 | NC-17)

Stiles spends a year before college working at the all-night coffee shop in town. It’s nice and quiet, until one dark and brooding Derek starts coming in every morning, ordering coffee so strong that it should not be fit for human consumption. Ever. Stiles tries not to be affected by the mystery guy, but it’s not like anything else happens around here, so really, what did you expect? And when he’s already in too deep, he realises he might even be in way over his head…

15. Lock All the Doors Behind You by entanglednow (oneshot | 25,959 | R)

He has no idea what you’re supposed to say when you find one of your…werewolf acquaintances, completely out of their mind, growling like they’re about to see what your insides taste like. There’s no handbook for this. Stiles is thinking that if he survives he might write one.

16. Losers by stilinskisparkles (oneshot | 34,234 | R)

Where Derek is new to college, eager to spend his time learning, and Stiles is everything he didn’t want in a room mate. He’s loud, he’s into sports, and he keeps trying to make Derek do things.

Or, the one where Derek falls for a jock, Erica will cut you if you disturb her studying, and Jackson is a closeted romantic who pretends to hate everything.

17. Permanent Fixture by linksofmemories (series complete | 163,077 | NC-17)

Derek is Scott’s older brother. Stiles is Scott’s best friend. Derek is falling in love with Stiles. This is a bit of a problem.

18. Prince Among Wolves by tylerfucklin (complete | 101,000 | NC-17)

Looking for full day/evening sitter. 2 twin boys age 4. Must have exp. w/werewolves. Must be human. No pedophiles. No teenage girls. Pay negotiable.

19. (Sacred) in the Ordinary by idyll (complete | 78,759 | NC-17)

The Pack, after college, graduate school and the starting of careers, comes back to Beacon Hills. Nothing’s gotten less complicated after all this time.

Based on a kink meme prompt that grew legs and got serious.

20. Strike Softly (Away From The Body) by qhuinn (oneshot | 34,524 | NC-17)

Derek is a bodyguard and Stiles his spoiled, resistant client.

21. The Company I Keep by secondstar (complete | 67,551 | NC-17)

Stiles has a favorite table at the library. Then some asshole comes along and steals it from him.

22. The ETA from You to Me is no longer available online

23. There is a brotherhood by minusoneday (complete | 21,004 | NC-17)

So far, college has taught Stiles three things:

1) Eight am classes are cruel and unusual and should be avoided at all costs, even if it means having to enroll in something truly hideous instead, like Econ 101.

2) Dorm security is just as tight as Stiles’ orientation leader had promised it would be, and the dude guarding Scott’s dorm in particular does not respond well to bribes.

3) Mrs. McCall clearly had no clue what she was talking about when she’d insisted that Scott and Stiles needed to branch out and room with strangers, so it’s all her fault that Scott ended up with a total dick of a roommate and Stiles got stuck all the way across campus with some guy who has a girlfriend two towns over and is thus never around.

Or, the one where pledge brothers Stiles and Scott start a prank war with Derek Hale’s fraternity.

24. To Have Outlived the Night by stillane (oneshot | 23,448 | R)

Derek steps away from the window. “You helped me. They took that as a declaration.”

25. We’ve Written Volumes (in Blood and Scars and Ink) by notthequiettype (oneshot | 25,935 | NC-17)

Stiles is on his back on hard-packed dirt. He’s cold and there are leaves stuck to his neck and there’s a four inch gash in his side that he thinks he can feel his ribs through. There’s so much blood around him he feels like he’s floating on a pond and everything is so much dimmer above him than it was a minute ago, which is saying something because he’s in the dark center of the forest in the middle of the night. And the worst of it is that he’s alone, totally alone with the smell of his own blood drowning him and the soft side of him run through by a tree.

As his eyes slip shut, the last thing he thinks is, “This is going to kill my dad.”

[lonewolfandlittlered]

title: incidence and reflection rating: explicit word count: 9,544

author's summary:

Derek came to the roadhouse looking for information and an uneventful night. He gets Stiles instead.

lonewolfandlittlered's summary:

Derek has rules too. Not getting involved with humans is one that’s inscribed deep in his bones, but Stiles is refreshing for his senses. There are other scents on him, but they’re old, faint. Not surprising given that he’s been away from McCall’s pack for almost two weeks. Without pack masking his natural scent, Derek’s able to revel in the tiers of fresh-cut grass, cinnamon-and-sugar, and cotton. There are smells he’s not fond of as well—dejection and bitterness—but those have weakened over the last hour.

As Stiles brushes by Derek to set his empty bottle on the table, their feet tangle together and send Stiles flailing. Derek swoops before the thought to do so is fully formed, prevents Stiles from cracking his knees and elbows on the rough-hewn floor, and brings them into the closest contact they’ve shared all night. Derek’s wolf howls—no doubt every other were in the roadhouse is aware of what he’s feeling—and Stiles glances up through the wide fans of his lashes. There’s a snap in the air like carbonation hitting Derek’s tongue; he knows without a doubt that it’s coming from Stiles, but Derek has never felt anything like it.

[lonewolfandlittlered]

Stiles and Derek's first kiss

Stiles has never been kissed like this before. It’s never been slow, and unhurried, always frantic and desperate. There have never been strong, sure hands sliding up and down his sides, fingers dipping under his shirt and brushing over skin purely to touch. There’s never been time to grow used to the sensation of being this close to someone, to sink deeper into the sweet, soft intimacy of sharing breaths like whispers. Derek’s stubble rasps against his skin deliciously, and he bites gently at Stiles’ bottom lip in a tease, a promise. 

He’s never kissed someone because he really chose them, because of who they are and how he feels, picking this moment out of hundreds to step into Derek’s space and allow Derek to respond. The feel of Derek’s smile against his lips makes his toes curl, and he grins himself; their teeth clacking slightly and he pulls away, thumbs at Derek’s bottom lip. 

"Yeah," he says dazedly. 

Derek looks steadily back at him, gaze calm and face so open, so surprisingly vulnerable. Stiles feels a little like he’s being given a gift. This is Derek, seeing Stiles for who he is and choosing him. Stiles wants everything Derek is willing to give him, and he’s never known that feeling, he’s never known this kind of love. 

He’s never kissed someone like it’s the start of something huge, a beginning, a promise of a future. There’ll be shit storms, fuck will there ever when it’s the two of them, butting heads and winding each other up, drawing lines in the sand and goading one another to cross. But, more than that he knows there’ll be good things, warmth and fierce loyalty, affection shown in odd ways and care. 

He’s never kissed someone he’s ready for, before Derek.
