THIS SHOW I SWEAR TO GOD!!

THE PUZZLE PIECES!!!

THE RELATIONSHIPS!!!

THE LINES!!!!

THE RELATIONSHIPS!!!

THE MESSAGES!!!

THE RELATIONSHIPS!!!

I LOVE IT ALL!!!

I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT!!!

Okay okay, I let it finish out without reacting, so we have a LOT to unpack now, but let's go.

This is kind of gonna be in order of events, but the show jumped between perspectives a lot and I'm just gonna talk about each perspective all at once lol.

Okay, so at first, Lydia's random little soundproof room in the lake-house was freaking me the f*ck out, but it wound up working in our favor, so that's good (also as an aside, are she and her family having money problems?? Because she sounded so stressed about the stains (Mason never came back to help clean it up, btw...), and for a girl as extravagant as she is, I wouldn't have anticipated money problems, but I guess that's always the point, right? You never know what's going on behind closed doors.). That said, it does make me wonder if her mom is also a Banshee or something like it? Like, her powers had to come from somewhere, right? Because why would a lake-house, owned by her family, have a random soundproof room with a single record player in it? Sounds like a Banshee room to me...

All of that said, I am very glad that she managed to figure out the code (it's super interesting that Allison's name was the key...maybe because she's the only major pack member already dead?), but I am very not glad that there is a dead pool that has our entire pack (except for Stiles, of course lol) on the list, 'cause...that's not super comforting. Don't love that for us. That'll be fun to fight against. Our list of 117 million problems (to quote Stiles) gets longer and longer by the minute, doesn't it...

However, that was a nice little Lydia and Kira moment, with Kira immediately recognizing that Lydia was Banshee-ing, and her focus shifting from Scott to Lydia very quickly as a result.

Speaking of Kira...

THAT SCIRA SCENE OMG THAT WAS THE CUTEST THING I LOVE THEM SO MUCH I CANNOT!!! <3 <3

Scott and Kira's love is seriously just so wholesome and flirty and heartwarming and adorable and I love relationships like that so much.

The fact that Scott's immediate reaction to Kira mentioning slow dancing is to get up and have her slow dance with him (as an aside, what lunatic only has, like, NINE APPS on their phone Scott what is wrong with you?! XD), and by the BEAUTIFUL reflection on the lake, no less (that shot was GORGEOUS, dude).

The fact that they got all goofily flirty with Scott's beautifully comedic response to Kira's question ("He can slow dance with me another time." XD).

The fact that Scott told Kira he was indistractable, and she immediately made it her goal to get him as distracted as possible (their little smiles at each other the whole time I cannot <3 <3).

The fact that Scott mostly manages to contain himself, but she FINALLY gets him, JUST slightly, because of course she does. ("Nothing." "Then why are your eyes glowing?" *adorable little head shake and smile* “Cheater.")

And then, like, obviously the real distraction came when Liam broke out of the chains, which, as an aside, they did not handle very well at all, but I'll allow it, because they were SO cute, and just holding each other SO sweetly and just SO into each other and I just...

I LOVE SCIRA SO MUCH AHHHHH!!!! MY OTP FOR SCOTT FOREVER AND ALWAYS!! THEY'RE JUST SO PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

And then there's STALIA!!

DUDE!!! THAT SCENE!!! OMG!!! This show makes me love Stalia more and more BY THE MINUTE AHHHH!!! <3 <3 <3 <3

EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT SCENE I SWEAR!!

The fact that Stiles just has such utter confidence and trust in Malia, even as she's trying to come after him.

The fact that Malia is just drowning in pain over the fear of hurting another person that she deeply cares about.

The fact that Stiles refuses to let her fear and anger eat her up the way it is, staying calm and collected and determined to help her anchor herself and not let her be afraid of herself.

The fact that, even as Malia fights the chains, she's so sincerely and closely listening to Stiles, because she loves him, and she trusts him.

The fact that Stiles says he GETS it, because he DOES, because he understands the guilt that comes from hurting someone you care about. He understands what it's like to have been the cause of a loved one's death, and to hate the fact that, no matter how much you try to deny it, a part of you enjoyed that power and control, even in that moment.

The fact that Malia is locking eyes with him, even as her wolf instincts are desperately trying to take over, taking in every word he says.

The fact that Stiles says, with so much confidence and power, that "control is overrated" (because WHAT A F*CKING LINE, DUDE!), and then lets her go.

The fact that Malia lunges for him, but immediately shifts back, and masters that control, because control isn't about power and being fearless--it's about feeling your fear and anger, but also feeling your love, and using that to fuel control.

The fact that Stiles is so proud of her, and so softly moves her hair out of her face, and they just embrace each other with everything they have.

The fact that, even though you can see the small hint of relief that crosses Stiles's face, proving that there was a small part of him that wasn't sure if it would work, he powered through and trusted her, because he really believed he could, and it WORKED.

IT F*CKING WORKED!!

LOVE CONQUERS ALL, DUDE, I SWEAR TO GOD!!!

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE THAT!!!

AND I FREAKING LOVE STALIA SO MUCH!!! THEY SERIOUSLY LOVE AND CARE FOR EACH OTHER SO MUCH AND PUT SO MUCH OF THEIR HEARTS ON THE LINE FOR EACH OTHER AND THEY TRUST EACH OTHER WITH THEIR VERY LIVES AND I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!! <3 <3 <3 <3

Okay okay, with the romantic relationships out of the way, let's get to the platonic ones, shall we?

Freaking Derek and Noah, dude!! This team-up is seriously incredible.

I absolutely love how much they trust each other, and I love that they have each other's backs. Like, I appreciate how much Noah trusts Derek's suspicions and instincts ("You nervous makes me nervous."), and I really appreciate how much Derek trusts Noah's input about what they're dealing with (oh boy...this is giving me even more reasons to ship Sterek lol). Also, I absolutely LOVE how many times Derek saved Noah's life in that school (his suspicion about the pool of blood, warning Noah about the axe, and knocking him out of the way when Peter came barreling over), and how well they worked together to take down Mouthless Creepo. Plus, you really have to appreciate the fact that Derek, despite being a f*cking werewolf, did not do what Peter wound up doing, and instead, was willing to have Stilinski arrest him, because, as he so brilliantly said, "We've learned a better way." (also, I kind of appreciate that Noah didn't shoot Peter, probably because he knew Derek would be less than pleased, despite what Peter just did).

That duo has seriously been so great all episode and I really hope we get to see more of them.

And then FREAKING CHRIS ARGENT'S RETURN!! LET'S F*CKING GO!!!

That whole scene with Scott, albeit small, was SOOOO AMAZING OMG!

WHEN I TELL YOU I WAS SO EXCITED WHEN THAT ARROW CAME FLYING IN LIKE--

"How did you know?" "I got your text."

*SCREAMS*

Can we just talk about how freaking AMAZING it is that Chris and Scott are still on such good terms after everything? Like, they started off on the WORST of terms, as we all know, and then Chris's wife’s and eventually daughter's deaths were both indirectly caused by their respective relationships to Scott (I don't blame Scott, just so we're clear, but you know what I mean), but he knows and understands that Scott is struggling just as much as the rest of them, if not moreso, and he's STILL HERE FOR HIM and STILL HELPING HIM, and he was RIGHT THERE TO SAVE THE DAY and he's STILL ON OUR TEAM!

AND THEN THE FACT THAT CHRIS IS SO ACCEPTING OF THIS AND SO HELPFUL I JUST!

"What are you gonna do?" "He's your Beta, Scott. The better question is what are you gonna do?"

CHARACTER GROWTH!! WE LOVE TO SEE IT!!

And THEN, the fact that he says EXACTLY what I was trying to say earlier.

"He doesn't listen to me." "He will if you start using your own words."

LITERALLY!! You EARNED that True Alpha status, Scott, and you earned it by BEING YOU. So BE YOU, because that's all you need to be.

And then just like...

The fatherly affection and support that was present in that whole conversation. That was so soft and so beautiful and OH MY GOD I LOVED THAT WHAT A GREAT WAY TO BRING CHRIS ARGENT BACK INTO THE SEASON!!

I really hope we get to see more of those two!!

And last, but CERTAINLY not least, we get our Alpha and our Beta.

LET'S!

F*CKING!

GO!

THAT'S what I'm talking about Scott.

You listen, and you coach, and you stay kind and supportive and empathetic, and then you lead by example, because THAT'S what you're all about.

The way that Liam just starts breaking down, because he's scared, and he's hurting, and he feels guilty, and he doesn't want to let his parents down again, and he feels like he's a monster, not even just from the bite, but because of who he is.

The way that Scott just GETS it, because he's BEEN there, and he knows what Liam's going through, but Stiles didn't let him go through it alone, and Scott's not gonna let Liam go through it alone, either.

AND THE LINES!

AND THE SWELLING MUSIC!

AND THE CAMERA WORK!

The way that Scott just stands up with all the confidence in the world, because this is how he knows how to lead.

The way Chris watches on, a small little proud smile making it's way onto his face, because THAT'S the Scott he knows (and loves).

"You're not a monster."

The way that Liam turns to look at him, fear and guilt turning into something more awed and determined.

"You're a werewolf. Like me."

AND THEN WE GET THE EYE GLOW!

AND WE GET THAT LITTLE LIAM SMIRK!!

AND OUR ALPHA AND BETA PAIRING IS BORN AND THIS IS GONNA BE AMAZING AHHH!!!

GOD that was amazing!!

WHAT an episode!!

I seriously feel like the relationships in this show are just so special and truly something else, and that entire sequence of events just proved my point.

I LOVE THIS SHOW SO FREAKING MUCH I SWEAR!! <3 <3

I have no idea what plans my family has tonight, but I'm sure I'll find the time to watch at least one more episode, and if not, I definitely will be later this week, fear not. XD <3

I LOVE ALL OF THESE AMAZING ROMANCES AND FRIENDSHIPS AND FAMILIAL RELATIONSHIPS SO MUCH!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

(Yeah that about covers it. I LOVE ALL OF THESE CHARACTERS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIPS TO EACH OTHER SO MUUUUCH!! <3)

[voidstilesplease]

Stiles: Dad, I like you to officially meet my boyfriend, Derek. Derek, you know him as the sheriff, but tonight, he's just my dad.

Noah: *sighs heavily* Are you absolutely sure about this, son?

Stiles: Dad! Don't be rude—

Noah: I was talking to Derek.

[histerek]

Stiles: [sobbing bc he can’t save the puppy* who is going to FREEZE in the cold]

Claudia and John, who know this is absolutely NOT a dog: [trying to wrestle the pup out of Stiles’ deceptively strong three-year-old grip]

*Derek, not a puppy but a wolf cub who is admittedly tiny for his age: [head empty no thoughts, enjoying the scent and warmth of Stiles’ scarf]

Talia, watching this all go down behind a tree: [plotting how to save her son for the FIFTH TIME THIS SKI SEASON who she’s beginning to suspect doesn’t want to be saved]

[blaksstr]

Eli: "So… did you guys actually date before or were you just aggressively flirting until I was born?"

Stiles: "He growled at me, I called him a sourwolf, and now here you are."

Derek: "Not how it happened."

Noah: "That’s exactly how it happened."

Stiles Stilinski gif pack

I’m not a lover or a fighter. I’m a hater talking shit from a safe distance.

[unholyfudgebiscuits]

Noah

Fanfic Noah not being okay with Derek and Stiles because of the age gap is fair and valid. BUT, I just think of this poor man hearing Stiles tell him on the day he turns 18 that he's now dating Derek Hale and Noah just weeps in relief.

Just... Knowing the type of trouble and bat shit crazy escapades Stiles gets into and now knowing that Derek Hale is going to be there to watch out for his son. The man who he's trusted with police work. The man who he's trusted with his own life. The big, protective, strong as fuck alpha is dating STILES.

Noah would invite Derek to every dinner. Would call him 'son' so affectionately. Would just integrate him into their every day because he already knows Derek. He's seen him fight for and love and protect Stiles. Even when they were nothing more than friends. And now that they're... mates? (Werewolf married as Stiles calls it ) Noah is so freaking proud to have Derek as a son in law.

And Derek, Derek would love Noah. He'd offer to help at the station or at a crime scene. Would check in on him and take him the "healthy" lunches that Stiles makes (neither tell Stiles about the curly fries Derek sometimes tosses in). Derek would automatically add him to the pack—more so to offer protection— but Erica and Boyd and Issac inadvertently gain a father figure that they all go to for advice and Noah starts treating each and every one like his own kid. Stiles is on cloud 9 because his father and the betas and his mate all love one another so unconditionally.

One day an omega shows up in Beacon Hills and does enough bullshit to get the Sheriff involved. Noah arrives to de-escalate a fight or stop him from doing more property damage and the werewolf thinks he can intimidate him by flashing his claws and growling. A second later a large black wolf the size of a car steps out of the shadows, eyes glowing red and fangs bared and the omega realizes he fucked up so goddamn bad because that's Derek Fucking Hale and he just threatened his father in law...

[jade-bright]

Stiles: I have a bad feeling about this, guys. Derek: Oh don’t worry, you’ll be fine. Laura: Yeah, what’s the worst that could happen? * Stiles, being bailed out of jail the next morning: I hate you both.

[james-crazy-world]

Noah: what are you doing here Stiles: what do you mean what you doing here it’s a club we were clubbing you know at the club Noah: not exactly your type of club Stiles: well dad there is a conversation Noah: your not Gay Stiles: what i could be Noah: not dressed like that Stiles: *shocked thinking* maybe not Gay but I am bi for hot werewolf named derek

[incorrect-teenwolf-quotes]

Noah: Gentlemen, you're not gonna sit here *places pistol down on desk*

Noah: And pretend there's not a big-ass elephant in the room.

Jordan:*confused* What the fuck is going on?

Noah: *turns picture frame on desk around, revealing a photo of Stiles This is what the fuck is going on!

Jordan: *looks at the picture confused, looks at Derek, then back at the picture as he realizes* OH SHIT! Oh Shit! *laughs hysterically at Derek*

Jordan: Oh shit! No! That is not happening right now!

Jordan: No!

Jordan: Hey ya'll he's fucking the sheriff's son! Yo! Oh my FUCK!

Noah: Every time, he says that shit? That's another foot in your ass!

Jordan: Derek! You clearly... yo, this is the best thing ever!

Jordan: *singing* Derek fucked the sheriff's son!

Jordan: *still singing* Derek fucked the sheriff's son!! Derek fucked the sheriff's son

Jordan: *reenters office* Shit! Fuck! You fucked Sheriff Stilinski's son!!

Noah: *picks pistol up and places it back on the desk, with the barrel facing Jordan*

Jordan:.....It's really not that funny.

Derek: Fuck you Parrish

[fanaticloser]

Do you guys remember this family portrait Derek, Stiles and Sheriff Stilinski

I need them to remake it with Eli.

[pkrosche]

Teen Wolf Incorrect Text Posts 10/?

[salemsvlog]

I just know that the residents of BH thought that Eli was somehow the biological son of Stiles AND a Derek at the same time.

People there had seen the craziest shit per week. they just saw that little replica of Stiles running around the station playing hide and seek with the Sheriff while Derek is in work and where like “Yeah, that checks out”.

[bluespinksyellows]

Stiles: B*tches be like "ThE FoOd iS BurNt" no it's not that's just extra flavor

Derek in the back with a fire extinguisher: ...

Scott on the phone with the fire department: ...

The Sheriff evacuating the house: ...

Erica yelling from outside: I agree!

[blaksstr]

Peter: "I didn’t know Derek had a type."

Derek: "I don’t."

Stiles: "Lies. I’m his disaster gremlin soulmate and you know it."

Sheriff: (head in hands) "Why couldn’t you have just dated Scott?"

Peter: "Even I wouldn’t wish that on him."

[unholyfudgebiscuits]

Noah doesn’t know what to say as he looks between his son and Derek Hale. Young Derek Hale. 15 year old Derek Hale… Of course he had remembered the boy, the night of the fire being especially clear to him. He had been crying then, sobbing in Noah’s office and repeating the same question over and over. “Are they alive? Are any of them alive?” 

It had been tragic. At the time, it had been suspicious but later it had been ruled an accident and Noah had been content with that. Not anymore. Not now as he remembers Stiles’ chessboard. The hunters bathed in white pieces. Kate Argent’s name ringing in his head, clear as a bell, and he understood. Understood what had transpired, can see the past event that had yet to happen to the boy in front of him. 

Boy. Because he’s only two years younger than Stiles is now. Rounder face, shorter stature. Derek Hale… Angry, tall, muscular, stoic alpha werewolf looking as young and uncertain as a freshman in high school. The thought has bile rising to the back of his throat. 

That woman… the things she had done to Derek… It was different, knowing now. Different seeing the teenager before him, looking so young and vulnerable and too close to Stiles’ age. For an adult to do that to a child… Any child! Rage fills Noah’s vision, his hands falling to brace himself against the desk before him and he sees Derek flinch back to Stiles’ side. 

“Dad?” Stiles says warily, taking a step in front of Derek. “We think it’s some sort of spell. Deaton is looking into it.” 

Protective. Stiles was always so damn protective of his friends. His family. The correlation has dread filling Noah’s chest even more. Thinking once again of Stiles standing in front of a hunter. 

“G-Good.” He manages to say, words strangled by the knot in his throat. “Take him to the house. He’ll be safe there for now.” Stiles looks surprised at that but Derek pushes passed him. 

“What about my mom? Where’s my mom?” 

Dead. 

Noah can’t say those words either and Stiles saves him from trying. 

“They’re not here. They left after the fire. Scott’s trying to figure out how to get you back to them.” Stiles replies, looking pointedly at his best friend. 

“Y-Yeah. I’m working on it. You can trust Stiles and the Sheriff. We’ll get everything straightened out.” It’s a lie. All lies. Always lies. Broken and struck words that shoot out like a bullet. Stiles’ favorite weapon, and he’s wielding it as fiercely as he ever has to protect the 15 year old at his side. Pride and dread and grief fill Noah’s chest as he nods, trying not to show the tears burning his eyes. 

“You’re safe with us Derek.” He says fiercely, resolutely and the young werewolf must read the honesty in that statement if nothing else because he relaxes for the first time since he’s entered the office. 

It takes a few days. Noah isn’t privy to everything that’s happened but Derek is adult Derek again, standing just as impassive and calm within the circle of the pack. He raises his head to look at Noah as the sheriff exits the police cruiser, a small nod of acknowledgement sent his way, but it’s not enough. 

Noah can’t get the image of teenage Derek out of his mind. Can’t stop the paternal instincts to wrap both of his boys in blankets and lock them up safe and warm and happy. It’s too much. The Argents, the monsters, the danger… Too much threatening the small little family he has left. 

He stalks towards them, urgent and desperate and sees the surprise light the alpha’s face. Derek almost seems worried as he motions Erica and Boyd to step aside, reaching a tentative hand out to try and either stop or steady Noah. “Sheriff, what’s wr-”

He doesn’t finish. Noah brushes past Scott and Lydia and Peter and Chris, reaches around Derek’s shoulder and pulls him forward, into his arms. The alpha freezes, shuttering into a statue as Noah embraces him, lets himself be pulled and guided to the human’s chest in the warmest hug he’s ever received. 

“It’s okay son.” Noah murmurs. “It’s okay. You got us.” He says thickly. 

Derek is still for a long moment, confusion and shock overriding every one of his senses but Noah doesn’t pull away, doesn’t say anything more, just grasps him to himself and slowly, unbidden, Derek crumbles. 

He can’t stop the tears from falling. Can’t stop the pain in his chest as Noah holds him. He closes his eyes and buries his face into the human’s neck, let’s the warmth and fatherly arms lull him and the scent of protection and possession seep into his very bones from the comfort the man is so willingly giving him. 

Of course it’s Noah. One of the only two men he’s ever really trusted since the fire. One of the only two men who he’s valued as his family. Of course it’s the other Stilinski whose saved his life yet again.
