Hi! Do you know of any fics where Stiles is a demigod, or even just a PJO/HOO crossover?

I sure do.

The answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything by orphan_account

(1/1 I 1,039 I General I Sterek)

Stiles, Scott and Derek are trying to finish a quest but come across two doors who either tell the truth or lie.

Or the one where Derek thinks he's being smart and confesses his love, but Stiles is smarter and fixes their problem.

because Aphrodite watches Keeping Up With The Kardashians and now everyone has to suffer by demi_god

(1/1 I 1,503 I Teen I Steo)

Theo has met their dad twice before, and it wasn’t pleasant either time. Ares is the God of War. He represents violence, brutal warfare, and slaughter, and gods with that reputation aren’t made for picnics with their children.

There's a new Olympian TV show that really shouldn't have existed for the sanity of everyone at Camp Half-Blood.

Silver Tongued Magic by Alazan

(1/? I 1,982 I General I Steo)

Theo is the son of Hermes, Stiles the son of Hecate. They're on a quest with Grover who is trying to keep them from killing each other.

Through danger and adrenaline, sparks fly. Enemies become lovers. And lets just say that a certain Sourwolf and Angrywolf aren't too happy about it...

of gods & monsters by Dexterous_Sinistrous

(1/1 I 6,152 I Mature I Sterek)

“I’m not the best at conversation. I’ve been told I have no finesse for it.”

Stiles took a step closer to Derek, pushing the billowing silk out of the way. “And what would you say if you looked at me now?”

Derek looked up, startled for a moment when he realized he was now looking at Stiles’ unveiled face. He was silent for a beat, taking in Stiles’ features for the first time, convinced he would never see such beauty unveiled for him alone.

An Introduction to the Mess that is Stiles' Family by mysteriouslife

(8/? I 22,246 I General I Sterek)

Stiles burst out laughing.

"What's so funny?"

"More than one sibling?" Stiles was obviously getting a kick out of whatever joke had been uttered by Boyd. "I have so many siblings I've lost track!"

But You're The Green In Me (You Sleep Like A Kid) by DeathjunkE

(7/8 I 24,408 I Mature I No Pairing)

Papa Stilinski used to be a hunter, but after a hunt gone incredibly wrong he goes to a bar to drink himself sane and rethink his stance on monsters and life in general. That’s when he unknowingly meets the love of his life. Things happen, time passes and they and their little boy are a family with a new life. Both Sheriff and Loki know that they won’t be a forever type thing. Loki will outlive him if he’s not called home first but still they make the most of it while they can.

In the aftermath of Loki’s departure, the Stilinskis have to pull themselves together and figure out life without Loki.

Here Where There's Everything That's Matter (and matters) by HeavenSentGohansRage

(19/19 I 312,843 I Teen I Sterek)

Heracles was just a nickname his Mother had given him, with no special meaning behind it. Stiles seriously had no idea what Derek had to be so obsessive about.

And when his life suddenly forced on him tropes of a classic heroic storyline, right in the middle of two supernatural battlefronts, the once nothing but an average sidekick must prove himself to be a great hero - perhaps even the greatest of them all - in order to save every one of the curse of his glorious strength.

Derek narrowed his eyes at Stiles, observing him carefully as he kept his features stoically guarded. “To touch you is sacrilege,” he finally uttered, unable to completely deny his desire to discover what touching Stiles would be like.

“What they force me to do is sacrilege,” Stiles countered, carefully observing Derek. “What you would do would be divine. You would keep me from being their plaything—taking a key player off the board in their pursuit of corruption. What I’ve asked of you … I’ve already seen it—the phantom touch of it lingering on me afterwards.”

Hercules and Hylas

From what god soever sprung,

Love was not born for us alone;

For Amphitryon’s brazen-heart son that braved the roaring lion,

he too once loved a lad,

to wit the beauteous Hylas of the curly locks,

and taught him all the lore that made himself a good man and brought him fame;

and would never leave him.

- Idyll XIII: Love and the Hero, Theocritus.

Day Three: Soulmates AU for @steterweek

Hercules (Heracles in Greek) brought his ‘beloved’ the Prince Hylas as a companion on his travels. His role was to bear Hercules’ club and weapons, to cook and provide for him domestically. In some versions the prince is taught by Hercules how to fight alongside him.

Accompanying Hercules on the Argonautica, Hylas was said to be so incredibly beautiful that one morning while fetching water, nymphs pulled him under the surface, so that their Queen could make him her husband.

Hercules’ grief is described as all-consuming: “Love, shattered by a cloud of evil, arouses shifting tides of passion” with common phrasing used describing the grief of parted lovers in Greek mythology. In some versions Hylas joined the nymphs, in others he drowned- but Hercules’ desperate search for his lover and grief over losing him is consistent.

Hylas is described as having curls, snowy limbs and wearing cloth draped over his shoulder. He’s sometimes depicted wearing a wreath of reeds in later Romantic depictions- symbolic of his fate. He represented an idealised and desirable youthful hero even in death.

This is Ian’s portrayal of Young Hercules for one of Peter’s former lives with his soulmate- Hylas, later to be reborn as Stiles- at his side. I love the idea that Heracles would one day be reunited with his beloved Hylas again.

Recap and Notes: Heracles!Stiles Ch. 1

find the chapter here

So, wow, I actually posted it xD Originally I’ve always planned to start posting the chapters once I finish the whole fic (as of the time I’m writing this I have three left, even less considering that I have some of their parts already written and planned out, so don’t worry!), and that’s it’s anyway going to be before the show ends.

Three years later and I didn’t mange to do it as I really wanted- with writing blocks, other fandoms and life in general interrupting me a lot, and I really wish I could blame it on the huge amount of research I’ve done.

But yeah, now it’s here and there’s no way back (even though I want to scream thinking about it T-T) and hopefully I’ll be done with the three left soon enough- and surely before I finish editing the rest of the chapters.

And the editing process (and when I say editing, keep in mind that I’m not a native English speaker, and it’s only done with the best of my abilities so it’ll at least being able to be understood even when grammar isn’t right; can someone tell me again why did I choose to write in past tense??) is a much bigger project than what I anticipated- I had to stay up two whole nights just to be done with this chapter, which is currently the shortest of all the chapters (though I really wish I could keep them all around 8k).

So, without further ado, let’s start with some background of the fic itself:

After getting into the Sterek fandom in 2014 (I’ve watched the show since the fisrt season but was not full on shipper like today), I found this post while browsing through the 2014′s Sterek Week tag. It really caught my attention above any other post I’ve seen about them for some reason (because not only the characters really fit their roles, but I love the Greek myth in general, even more so after reading the Percy Jackson series; I’d include references to it, but decided against it for the sake of my friend, who’s the biggest fan of the series), and after daydreaming about it for a few days- the idea of writing it according to the original Greek legend popped into my head, and I decided to try it out (btw, I was embarrassingly surprised to find out how different it was from the film, along with the fact that the Roman name is more famous than the original one).

As I was taking it more and more seriously (at my first few months in the fandom I was so excited about the unending amount of posts about them that I spent my free time basically stalking many old posts in random blogs xD), around 2015, I translated what I’ve written to English and finished the chapter. As I started reading about the legend in general, I found out these interesting points that drove me more than anything to write the fic, because now I had answers to why I was so instinctively drawn to this AU, why it felt so right (can also be read as: the amount of times I fangirled because of my own stupid AU >< ) :

1. His canon real name, Mieczysław, means “fame by swords”- with name Heracles meaning “fame by Hera” (and now I’m really glad I’d waited until this name was revealed, instead of only using Alcaeüs, which supposedly means “strength”, as his lone first name like I’d planned). As we know Stiles, though, neither of them is needed in order for him to reach glory :P

2. According to the original legend, Heracles actually has an average size body, and isn’t as well-built as the Romans fantasize him to be and as we imagine him to be today.

3. Heracles’ preferred weapon was a club, which is as close as it can get to Stiles’ modern bat lol.

4. Like Stiles, some of Heracles’ most known features were being vengeful and preferring to kill anyone who stood in his way (though Stiles only suggests it) but also struggling a lot with guilt. He used his cunning skills in some of his labours, too.

5. In this interview with Jeff Davis, he stated that not only the show is inspired by Greek mythology, but Stiles itself is inspired about non other than another Greek Hero, Perseus (Heracles’ ancestor): “...He needed to be Perseus, given a sword and shield by the Gods, but he has to rely on his own wits when he faces the monster, in the same way Perseus chased Medusa and used his own wits to show her own reflection and turn her to stone. That is Stiles. You give him mountain ash, he can spread a circle around it, but he has to rely on his own wits as well.”

* mind you, I’d still write the thing even without Jeff proving that the legend fits Stiles and the Teen Wolf universe to perfectly, but as a real Sterek fan I take whatever little good he does leave to us and make the best out of it. In the end I didn’t even write him as Perseus, because it was Heracles’ legend that inspired me in the first place, and I preferred to give Stiles to go through the most legendary journey of them all (which is also why I didn’t go with the “legend repeating itself” trope). I did use the comparison in some instances in the fic, though, as the most known feature of both of them is cunning.

But when we leave the plot aside and focus on the ship that really was the cause of it all (and fair warning: THIS FIC IS AS SLOW AS A SLOW BUILT CAN BE)- I’m a sucker for stories where a character’s mentally doesn’t for with the level of his power, and with that I could write the best story I could give to Stiles and Derek.

So with that’s done, let’s get to the chapter itself. ^^”

Myth and Historical Overview

Alcaeüs is the name Heracles was born with, before it was changed later on in his life to Heracles- though no one knows at which point it happened. A less common name that is associated with him is Alcides.

The story about Stiles lifting the car doesn’t represent anything in the legend of Heracles, who, unlike Stiles, was always aware of Zeus being his Father.

General Recap

Additional car scene to the Magic Bullet episode! :D This is the first scene I’ve written to the story, though I translated it after originally scrabbling it to myself during my time off at the office in Hebrew, my native language, before translating it later when I got it on my computer: 1 2 (HOW COULD I THOUGH, IT’S NOW SO WEIRD TO ME TO READ IT LIKE THIS XD also, there isn’t a good translation in Hebrew to the word “Dude”).

Poor Derek, though- everything crushes around him and he’s about to die, but he still had the patience to let Stiles take his time while telling about the tough parts T-T

So yeah, in this universe Stiles finds out that Deaton knows stuff, but still prefers to treat Scott’s condition after the bite on his own at the beginning.

I find that scene with Scott to be adorable, and presenting what I wish their relationship will always be like in the canon, but don’t get your hopes up for something similar to that to happen again. I may write the story from Stiles’ POV, who is led by his incredible loyalty, but I don’t like Scott or his friendship with Stiles in canon, so prepare for subtle criticism at future parts.

The “incident” will be explained further in the story.

Fun Facts

The idea for the aura that Stiles came from S3B, where Derek sees Kira’s. It doesn’t have a shape like her for Derek to know what Stiles is, though.

Reading the first draft, apparently I planned for Stiles to know he is connected to the Greek Deities somehow- probably scene Heracles has always known about it according to the legend. I’m glad I changed that, though, because if Stiles knew enough to be aware of that- he’d figured out already about being a Demigod, and it could ruin... the drama, I guess? “XD

And that’s all for this time, since I don’t really have anything from the legend or history fact being used in that one. I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter and that you will with the rest too! ^^

And if you want to ask anything, feel free to send me!

Hey I'm feeling super down and depressed and I was wondering if you know of any Sterek depression fics, either Derek or Stiles thank you so much <3

I know it's been a minute since you sent this in. Hopefully you're in a better place now!

I will try (to fix you) by Nival_Vixen

(1/1 I 1,067 I Mature)

Derek is emotional, no one knows why, and it's bringing his betas down. They turn to Stiles for help, because after three years, Stiles always knows how to fix Derek.

The One You Choose by Asterekmess (Livinginfictions)

(7/7 I 13,480 I Mature)

Stiles hadn’t seen Scott in over a week, except for glances he caught during school hours.

I Remember by zefurr

(11/11 I 13,923 I Mature)

When the Wild Hunt takes Stiles, no one seems to remember the boy. No one except Derek who is determined to not only make the people of Beacon Hills remember but bring back the boy who is his mate. And a wolf never forgets his mate.

House on Fire by TheEmcee

(8/8 I 14,939 I Teen)

It's been four years since he ran into Derek Hale. Four years since Hale took his mate from him. And now, he's tired of waiting and he's planning on getting his revenge, one way or another.

Unsaid the Word by lunarriviera

(2/2 I 20,696 I Explicit)

Derek Hale, Stiles thought, indignant, was a goddamned scholiastic menace.

In which tenure-track Professor Derek Hale is polite and friendly to Stiles Stilinski, ABD, every year at the academic conference they both attend; and Stiles tries to be contented with pining after him—until after one night at a bar, far too many doubles, and some injudicious texting, thanks to his total inability to know when to stop talking, Stiles just may have ruined everything.

A Lifetime (With You) by charlesdk

(1/1 I 30,793 I Teen)

If you ask him, Derek will tell you he's doing fine. He's raising his five year old daughter, Erica, on his own, he has his family and a book series published that's pretty popular and sold well. Under a pseudonym, sure, but it counts.

He'll tell you he's doing pretty alright – right up until Stiles Stilinski stumbles into his and Erica's lives and never really leaves again.

Derek's world gets shaken up, but things get better. Slowly, for all of them.

You Only Live Once...or Twice by WonderWolf

(6/6 I 32,949 I Explicit)

“Anything,” Derek’s eyes are determined, boring into Stiles’.

Stiles huffs a laugh, “Careful there, big guy. Don’t want to be promising anything to every necromancer you meet. Some might ask for your soul or someth—”

“I’ll give you my soul to bring her back,” Derek says, his voice steady and strong with resolve, “if that’s what you want.”

Stiles’ mouth gapes open for a moment before his brain kicks into gear and he stutters out, “N-no, I don’t ask for that. I only ask for money.”

(Or the one in which Stiles is a necromancer who needs help stopping a rogue alpha and Derek is the solution, but at what cost?)

The Boy Who Tamed the Sourwolf by AllTheseSquaresMakeACircle

(24/24 I 94,918 I Explicit)

Stiles is used to being second tier in everyone's life. How easily people forget him and move on to bigger and better things. Used to always being in someone's shadow. Leave it to Derek Hale to shatter those expectations.

Life is a bitch. But it's my bitch. by ColdHeartedBitch

(63/? I 109,186 I Mature)

Stiles' life is shit right now. He knows it, just like he knows he can't go on like this any longer. He wants to try to be better, but not for his father, not for his so called friends. Stiles wants to do this for himself.

Because despite the constant pain, nightmares, disappointment and pure despair running through his mind and body, he wants to survive. He wants to show everyone who's ever hurt him that he's over it. That he can live without them and with his fucked up past.

Or,

Stiles knows he deserves better, so he moves, meets Lucifer and Mazikeen and starts getting back on his feet.

Here Where There's Everything That's Matter (and matters) by HeavenSentGohansRage

(19/19 I 312,843 I Teen)

Heracles was just a nickname his Mother had given him, with no special meaning behind it. Stiles seriously had no idea what Derek had to be so obsessive about.

Indelible Marks by billtheradish

The house never burned. The pack is strong. Derek will never need to be the alpha, and his sister is a troll. (Actually, most of his family is like that.)

Hi there! I was wondering if you know some long fics with really badass Stiles?❤

We do! - Anastasia

There's Magic Between You and I by halcyon1993

(25/25 I 260,756 I Explicit I Sterek)

After the disaster that was junior year, Stiles is more than ready to finish his last year of high school and move on to college. He splits his time between his studies, taking care of the pack—well and truly blossoming into his new role as the alpha's mate—and training his powers with Deaton. At the same time he learns shocking secrets about his heritage, strange things start happening around town and to the pack themselves, and he finds himself in a race to save everyone when a new evil arrives and threatens to destroy everything he loves.

Tension is mounting in the pack and relationships will be tested when an old ally returns to town with information that could help the pack. But can the pack trust their old friend or has the year passed hardened him to a point of no return?

Recap and Notes: Heracles!Stiles Ch. 18

find the chapter here

Myth and Historical Overview

Aphrodite isn't a part of Heracles’ legend at any point, either by actual appearance or by mentioning through an indirective effect she has left on his life. Unlike other unmentioned gods, which I refrain to include even when I really wanted for them to make an appearance- I had to use her in order to help with an important point in the plot.

Moreover, Heracles has never committed Hubris. While he is sometimes described as quite arrogant and supercilious, he has never sinned against the gods to receive a punishment for his attitude (although some would argue that he did so by attacking the Oracle, when she refused to give him something to redeem himself over the murder of Iphitus, which was caused by one of his sudden burst of rage).

Erinyes, better known by their Roman equivalents, the Furies (the latter was also, unfortunately, the one to be mentioned in the show by Matt, in 2x10) are the incarnate spirits of vengeance and retribution, who were in charge for giving a punishing fate for mortal sinners.

Ero, also more known by his Roman version, Cupid, was a minor god and an assistant of Aphrodite in matters that had to do with love (while she herself was in the head of other issues, such as beauty and pleasure). He was carrying a bow and flaming arrows with him, which lightened the flame of love in one’s heart- a fact which influenced the term ‘cupid’s bow’, which I had to use as it is since it wouldn’t be understood otherwise.

A story which belonged to the 11th Labour (with the Apples of the Hesperides) and I didn’t include until now is that of Busiris, an Egyptian king (and a son of Posideon) who received the prophecy that the nine years of scarcity in his country will end if he sacrifices a foreigner to Zeus once a year. During his search for the Apples, Heracles visited Egypt at some point, where the Busiris tried to kidnap him for said sacrifice- but he managed to escape, and once he killed the king he continued in his journey. I didn’t use that story in the right point in the timeline of the legend since there was too much happening in the chapter of the 11th Labour, and adding this on top of that was too much- so I decided to indirectly include that in this chapter, where Stiles was about to be sacrificed instead of asking to be burned in fire, like Heracles originally did, and it was done so by someone who needed the help of Zeus in order to restore a flow (of magic, though, and not water lol).

Ironically (aka another moment of me fangirling of a match between the show to the legend and my plan for the fic :P ) Jennifer’s original name, Julia, is either a Greek name or derived from Zeus’ Roman counterpart, Jupiter, and parallelly, some of her powers are related to the weather. You can read more about it here.

Deïaneira was Heracles’ second wife, who led him to a tragic event in the name of her love, which eventually would cause Heracles’ death: One day, when she and her husband went on a trip by a river- she asked a Centaur named Nessos to help her cross it. He compiled, only once they both crossed the river he grabbed her and ran away, trying to take her for himself. She screamed and yelled for help, and after a long journey her husband eventually caught up and took Nessos down- not before the latter told her about the possible usage of his blood, as a love poison. In a fear of her husband putting an eye on another damsel, Deïaneira took some of the Centaur's blood in a little bottle she carried and kept it with her ever since. Later, once they were back home, she sewed a new cloak for Heracles and dipped it in Nessos' blood. The moment he tried it on it, though, she discovered too late the trickster's lie, and what was believed to be a love poison turned out to be nothing but blood mixed with the Hydra’s venom from Heracles’ arrow. She tried to pull the cloak over, only it was too late- and killed herself.

Heracles, suffering in an unending pain by the venom, asked to be burned. It was then where Zeus approached him and asked him if he wanted to have his divine part slipt from his mortal part so he could join the Olympus and live there forever- to which Heracles agreed. Then, as his mortal part was burnt entirely- his other half was taken to the Olympus, where he became a god with the role of the protector of the Olympus, and married Zeus’ daughter (ugh), Hebe. Obviously, reading about it as I took a look at the full version legend for the first time, it was a hard decision to make regarding what it was going to convert to the FIC, because I definitely not started that project for it to end up as an MCD fic (killing the main character in an original story is one thing for me, but Stiles?! MY BABY?!??1111), no matter to what level of angst I brought the main characters to xD After a while of brainstorming, I decided that Zeus was going to use Stiles’ divinity anyway as a Daemone, but that the strength was going to stay with Stiles as it was an addition that has nothing to do with him being a son of a god, so Stiles still gets to continue his life with Heracles’ main feature, but without the given skills, which means he will have to work on redeveloping them, or at least to a level as high as he can, on his own.

In Greek tragedies, those who were about to die looked up and refer to never seeing the sun again- and so it is something I included in the fic as well as a thought of Stiles, even though it wasn’t a very outstanding moment.

King Midas is known for his ability to turn anything he touched into gold, but surprisingly, even though the idea indeed came out of greed, it wasn’t given out of punishment- but a gift, as Dionysus granted him one wish out of honest gratitude for taking care of his drunk, stray son.

The idea of the divinity making Stiles immune to the Hydra's venom may look a little bullshitty, but because in the legend it takes a while for Heracles until he finds someone to help him put an end to his misery- I made it so Stiles survived with the cloak from early in the morning until midday.

An affair between males (known as “eromenoi”) in the Ancient Greek culture was really something that made one seem manlier (which is why Heracles had many lovers beside the two influencing women in his life). I made sure to keep it as an the historical fact it is, with nothing to do with the mythology, as, at least in the Olympus in this fic’s universe- the Olympians see no need for sexual/romantic orientation, as basically everyone is Pansexual lol (but I still consider Stiles as Bi, as the differences between the genders are apparent to him, even if not significantly).

General Recap

The actual quote from the Notting Hills film (which I personally love as well, and one of the main reasons is indeed Hugh Grant :P But I made Stiles love it too mainly to be able to use this idea lol) is: “Men go to bed with Gilda, but wake up with me”, which was said by the real-life actress Rita Hayworth, in regard to one of her popular characters which she portrayed.

Deïaneira’s story inspired the presentation Meg in the Disney film, and perhaps what was supposed to be both of their deaths- although, according to her name and the fact Hercules had no other woman before her, as much as we know- she is supposed to be similar in her story to his first love, Megara.

Just to make it a bit clearer, as I didn’t really have a way to explain it in the fic: just like my headcanon for the show, there’s no such a thing as a love magic, and the only spell similar enough is one which makes a person think obsessively over something else, be it another person or any other random subject. Another thing I wanted to clarify is that, while the Nemeton is inside the borders of Beacon Hills’ preserve- the tree itself is neutral, which means it doesn’t belong to Beacom Hills even while inside its territory, and that’s why Jeniffer could perform her sacrifice there.

While it was not easy for me to let Stiles live, in contrast on the legend (although it would have been IMPOSSIBLE for me to kill him T-T) and more similar than I would have preferred to the film, it was clear to me that Derek had to enter the fire and get injured, but instead of explaining the reasons that are easy to figure anyway, I’ll let you to just go to the ask box and curse me to death, because I definitely deserve that (for the entire chapter/fic too, actually).

The idea of “Mischief” is based on what the Sheriff told about Stiles in 6a, even though I haven't watched any scene from that season apart of this one, as far as I remember xD

Fun Facts

This chapter and the previous one were supposed to be one chapter (that’s why, for a while, it was tagged with having only 18 chapters), but in retrospective, with all the drama in that one- I’m glad that it was too long and I had to split it xD

So this is where I supposed to say that the new presented god in that chapter, Aphrodite, is based on a character from One Punch Man like the other gods- but she’s actually not, lol. Unlike the others, I didn’t want to make her look ridiculous, but I hope I’ve made a good job with her anyway xD

Recap and Notes: Heracles!Stiles Ch. 12

Myth and Historical Overview

It was one of the companions of Heracles, Abderos, who was devoured by the Mares rather than an official- while he was keeping the Mares on watch until Heracles would defeat Diomedes and his men (which were a part of a tribe on a remote island). After that, rather than being set free, they were brought all the way to Eurythesus (which is something I need to find a substitute solution to in a lot of the Labours, most of the times, as there is just no logical way for Stiles to do that).

Those mares are also believed to be the ancestors of Alexander the Great’s personal horse, Bucephalus.

So, I made two quite big changes (or rather, a replacement) in the 8th Labour, with Hippolyte’s belt:

As most of you might already know (if not from general knowledge, then from Wonder Woman xD)- Hippolyte is an Amazon. The problem was that, in the one hand, since I prefer to include characters from the show whenever I can instead of building OCs for different rules in the legend- I REALLY wanted to include the Drag Queens from the second seasons; on the other, I prefer keeping the Amazons as great warriors who were born with a feminine body (regardless their gender identities, of course), because that what was great about them, in my opinion. That was why I decided to replace them with another tribe, the Maenads, who were female followers of Dionysus- which was known as a Deity who loved parties, which really worked well for me with the Jungle (although they had nothing, as far as I know, to do with Ares; the Greek reef knot in his belt, by the way, is also known as Heracles Knot). Inspired by him, they were pretty mad, but in the fic it is only manifested in the way they fight, and nothing beyond that. I sincerely apologize if I made the wrong impression and offended anyone.

Hera succeeded to incite Hippolyte against Heracles, which ends up in him killing her (while in the fic Stiles ironically thinks that this option could be the worst idea ever), which I really did not want to.

The exact area in which Erythia, the island Geryon and his cattle lived in is not known- unlike other Labours, which their location can always be approximated. The main reason for that is that this place is supposed to be at the end of the world- which was believed by the Greeks to be beyond the Strait of Gibraltar, that only little number of people dared to sail to during that time, and so, not a lot was known about it.

It is no surprise, then, that the journey to and from that island, at the very end of the world, included a lot of adventures (which was why it was important to me to place the Labour in the fic away from America, and create an environment close to that):

He had to kill a great number of random beasts along the way- which are the wave of monsters/mutants that first attacked Stiles on the island.

Reaching the line of a range of mountains where Africa was connected with Europe (before there was the Strait of Gibraltar existed, as, according to the legend, there was no opening to connect between the Mederitian sea to the Atlantic Ocean before that), and Heracles split one of the mountains in half so he could pass through it to the other side instead of climbing over it. The now two separated mountains, which bordered the gateway, became known as the Pillars of Heracles.

Overheated by the sun which seemed to not leave him for a second throughout the entirety of his journey, Heracles raised his bow and directed an arrow to the sun in a challenge. Helios, the Deity of the sun, was impressed by his audacity, and gave him a large goblet/vase (the krater), with which he sailed all the way to Erythia (rather than being more-or-less teleported there, like in the fic).

Finally arriving at the island, he had now to defeat the herdsman, Eurytion, and his canine shepherd, which was a two-headed dog. The reason I redesigned it as having another set of legs, unlike the legend, is because I wanted to differ/distinguish him from Cerberus, the triple-headed hound, even though the two are Brothers.

The one who tried to steal one of the Bulls to himself actually appears on the journey back to Greece: his name was Eryx, Poseidon's son. After tracking for a while, Heracles eventually found the lost Bull in Eryx’s herd, who challenged him to a wrestling duel for the Bull. (In the story Stiles did not perform a Greco Wrestling-style, or even Amateur wrestling-style move, but as a WWE fan I couldn't resist that chance ^^” FUCK YEAH PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING :D)

The one to kill Geryon's Grandmother, Medusa, was Perseus- Heracles’ ancestor. Geryon himself was born naturally and was not made by someone, but the reasons I chose to make him a mutant (which followed by making the rest of the island’s monsters ones, as well) was to link him better to the story and make his character a little more meaningful in general; I thought it was interesting to make Gerard responsible for the monsters this time instead of Hera, and hinting that during the years he was a free man he has prepared a lot of backups we do not know about, all of them demonstrating the depth of his cruelity.

Along Eryx, there were two more of Posideon's sons interfered in Heracles’ path back to Eurystheus. Sometimes they are referred to as the giants Albion and Bergion, and sometimes as two men named Ialebion and Dercynus (combining the idea of giants and seemingly human brothers, I thought it was the best way to include the twins, instead of getting rid of them in a too easy way). What is for sure is that the battle was not in Heracles’ favour, and after praying to Zeus- the Deity assisted him through a rain of stones.

Sometimes, individuals of the called strayed away on their own (one time one of them even went as far as jumping to the sea, for some reason), or even everyone at once, because of a gadfly that Hera sent to attack the cattle- and Heracles had to put the march on hold and go after them.

The way in which Heracles prayed to Zeus during the fight against Posideon’s sons was by kneeling- which is the reason to why the constellation which was originally called by the Greeks “Engonasin”, or “The Kneeler”, would later be renamed into the Heracles constellation, and is what the moles on Stiles face are shaped like (that’s why in the fic world, all at once, a moment after Stiles will be gone from the mortal world- the name of that star grouo will change inside everyone’s minds, and in most of the sources into his name; there will be a little more explanation about this process in the last chapter).

The Moirai, which Zeus mentioned, are the Greek Deities of fate.

General Recap

So, it is clear that I’ve tried to speed things up a little with the first three Labours (7-9), since there was not something too interesting to do with them plot-wise and not much character development-wise, besides presenting the deterioration in Stiles’ mentally state- but the thing with the 7th one is- it’s just that short xD No matter where I read about it, in any version I've found, it is as short and simple as it is depicted in the fic. I’m glad that I came up with using it as a demonstration of the change in Stiles and Derek’s relationship, because otherwise, it’d just literally be a two-sentence thing that all that could be said about it was: “Well, that... that was... a thing.” (but also when I think of the legend, I really can’t figure out why they included a task so pointless like this. I won’t invent something else entirely as I wish to stick to the legend as much as possible, but this one is truly disappointing)

I can't write a Drag Queen for the life of me xD I've written that part after binge-watching an entire season of RuPaul Drag Race. In all seriousness, though, once again- I hope I didn't offend anyone.

And the same about Faux Queens!

I chose to not include the Soulmates/split soul theory in the fic because I like better the idea that the connection between Stiles and Derek to not be destined, but as natural and incidental as possible- which probably frustrated Hera even more by how strong it turned out without being made by divine forces.

So yeah, this is where the Sterek finally starts to kick in- you didn’t think I made the waiting last THAT long just to make it easy for them, did you? :P

Fun Facts

This chapter’s Deity, Zeus, is inspired by the One Punch Man villain Boros (although more in some of his speech than his looks, unlike the others), which is the strongest and biggest one of season 1. I considered to be inspired by his backstory as well (after easily destroying any enemy he has ever had, he has travelled the space all the way to Earth, where he’d find a great rival to relieve his boredom, according to a seer) and make Zeus find Claudia through a seer as well- but I thought it would be more powerful if Zeus found her on his own, after searching long for a woman interesting enough, and without knowing the destiny of their child.

It may be surprising, then, that I didn’t reference another villian from One Punch Man, which is very similar to Geryon in looks, Melzargard (as a reminder: the reason it became a thing was because it was such a huge project that I’ve had to scatter Easter Eggs throughout the fic, using mostly subjects which accompanied me through the years of writing the fic, especially during the times I’ve experienced terrible writing blocks/anxieties over it). Since I only started that thing to make the Deities to look ridiculous, like the monsters in the anime, along with the fact that didn’t use any inspiration for another monster who was able to talk, the Nemean Lion from the first Labour- I preferred to leave it as that,

Recap and Notes: Heracles!Stiles Ch. 10

find the chapter here

Myth and Historical Overview

So as a Jewish, I may or may not fangirled the first time I read about the connection between Heracles and Samson’s stories "xD I know the way Deaton talked about him was not the most accurate of him, but that was the way I wanted his character to be presented in the story. So because I can, here are some fun fact of other ways they are related:

The straits of Gibraltar is also called "The pillars of Heracles", because it was believed to be divided by him (as happened in his tenth labour, only in my fic it will go a little differently of course). This parallels to Samson's story, who became captive of the Philistine and was brought to a temple where a lot of people were celebrating his captivity and mocking him. He asked to stand between the two pillars which held the building and them grasped them, breaking them out of their places and causing the whole building to fall apart on him together with all the Philistines.

Heracles was once taken by the Egypts while getting to their area, and slaughtered a lot of them after once he finally stopped putting with their shit (that the best way I can put it, at least. Not a lot of logic in those stories, so it seems), which can be compared to Samson escaping from the Aza people's grip, who went after him after they found out about him staying the night at the house of a local woman. He eventually got away by breaking the city's gates in the process and taking them with him, also for some unclear reason XD

The number Samson's feats are believed to be counted as twelve as well (as detailed here)

Heracles is believed to come from Argos, a region which its source is said to be of the Dantoni people- those who belong to one of the twelve tribes that were in Israel during the ancient times, called Dan (I'm not sure how common legend is among researchers though).

Both of them became slaves due to their misdeeds (Samson by revealing that the secret of his power is in his hair; Heracles by his lack of control of his rage).

And this one doesn’t necessarily has something to do with the actual legend, and

Pholly’s character is based on Pholus, a Centaur who lived near the mountain that the Erymanthian Boar, and were an old friend of Heracles. In the legend, Heracles convinces him to share with him a special wine that was kept in his house- one that was supposed to be saved to be drunk only by Centaurs, and not to be wasted on humans or other creatures who weren’t one of them. The moment Heracles opened the jar of wine, the scent of it was sensed by many Centaurs who came to Pholus’ house in order to give the rude one what he deserved. Heracles chased them off, even killed some of them- and Pholus himself was accidentally killed in the process. The wine had nothing to do with the Boar, but in my fic I decided to connect between the two stories (with the horses representing the Centaurs) to make the first story to have more sense, while in the legend it is an inseparable part of the story of the fourth Labour for no apparent reason.

The Boar in the legend lived in a snowy mountain, something that is very untypical to find during the Californian’s summer, from what I understood- and that is how the idea of the fake snow machine came from xD

The mentioned Calydonian Boar belongs to another myth, where Artemis punished the king of Calydon, Oeneus, by releasing the enormous beast which went wild in the kingdom, and was eventually put down by the female warrior Atlanta. It is quite ironic, then, that this Labour usually appears after the Labour with Artemis herself.

General Recap

The battle that Derek talks about is the same that happned in 3x05, only it ended differently as Kali is dead, and Erica is there instead of Scott and Allison.

Fun Facts

There are relations between Heracles and Samson in popular culture, too:

Samson has cooperated with Heracles (who is sometimes referred by Hercules and at other times by his original Greek Name) in a few Marvel comics.

They also appear together in the film “Hercules, Samson and Ulysses” from 1963, which seems like some sort of “Infinity Wars” with the greatest heroes from the myths? lol

This one might have turned out like that by a chance, but the way Meg in the Disney film tried to deduce Hercules (I’m using the Roman name just because this one the one to be unfortunately used in the film, but of course in films based on the legend in the past they were using it too, so I can’t really blame Disney for that) to tell her about his secret weakness reminds me a lot of how Delilah had done the same with Samson (and when you add Meg’s death by the pillar it makes it seem even less as an unintentional parallel, but that’s probably just me reading too much into it, using the Sheriff’s “Once Is Chance, Twice is Coincidence” logic xD If you find anything else that I missed, though, please by all means let me know! xD)
