Possible Still

A Season 5 Fix-It Fic that was started after 5x9 and obviously finished after 5x10. It is canon-compliant Sciles to the max. 11k and angsty. (A little bit based off this post I made a while ago!)

Thanks to carrie for the last-minute beta and talking me off the edge in terms of the ending! And helping me with the title. REALLY EVERYTHING.

(Also, yes, I realize this is my third S5 fix-it fic. What can I say? SCILES NEEDS TO BE FIXED.)

Stiles gets very good at putting himself back together. He learns which cuts just need butterfly bandages and which need actual stitches and he knows to keep a needle threaded because trying to get everything ready when you’re shaking from blood loss is fucking hard. (Not impossible though, he learns that too. There’s not much that is impossible when you don’t have any other options.)

He had already mastered dry swallowing pills years before with his Adderall but the liquid Advil he starts using is a different shape, bigger, harder to get down, especially when his throat is bruised or sore. He manages.

He has to. Scott isn’t there to take his pain anymore.

He also knows to stuff a rag in his mouth before he starts. It’s more gentle on his teeth and keeps the sounds from making the headache worse.

*^*^*^

He starts with the doctors.

Don’t worry about finding Lydia and Malia, Scott tells him. And Stiles has always known what Scott is really saying when he talks. Don’t help us. Don’t try. Go away.

Scott really should have remembered that Stiles has never been good at following orders. At least, not those kind.

So Stiles isn’t in the pack anymore. He knows that. He accepts that.

He uses it to his advantage. Because in Scott’s pack, there are rules and guidelines, and a chain of command, and maybe Stiles has always been better off without them.

So he starts with the doctors.

(He would probably start with Theo, but the doctors have already taken care of him. And with his death, Stiles realizes it doesn’t matter if Scott knows that Theo killed the chimera on the roof - Josh? Jonathan? He can’t remember. Anyway, it doesn’t change the fact that Stiles had killed Donovan. That to Scott that was unacceptable.)

Scott defeats them, as always, and manages not to kill them. Manages to make it so that the fluid of the supernatural that they have been using to extend their life will now do the opposite. The doctors are old, scarred men again, unwelcome anywhere near Beacon Hills and that should be the end of it.

Stiles finds them after three days. He also finds the books that they had managed to salvage, their research that shows their plans to rebuild, that, to them, the promise of immortality and power is worth risking the wrath of Scott McCall. He finds the proof that they were never going to stop.

Of course, he only finds it after.

Maybe a part of him knew. Hopefully.
