#oblivious!stiles

[wheredidhiseyebrowsgo]

Helloooo your recs give me life. You’ve probably done this before, but any recommendations for fics that include a brutally pining Derek and oblivious Stiles? Ideally canon-verse but aus are also loved. Thanks in advance!!

I'm sure I have, but I love pining in all fics. So I'm happy to make a million lists of it.

Fun by Halevetica

(1/1 I 3,889 I Teen)

Stiles convinces Derek to go to the annual Beacon Hills bonfire with him, with the promise of fun. What he gets instead are a lot of assumptions that he and Stiles are dating, and Stiles' too-eager dismissals, which are decidedly NOT fun for Derek.

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.

Written in the Stars by Quixoticity

(6/6 I 26,586 I Mature)

Derek Hale is a lucky guy. He's got a great family, good friends, and a fulfilling job as a tattoo artist.

He's also one of the twenty-five per cent of the population born with a soul mark.

He likes his life, but he's waiting for his soul-match. The odds of meeting them aren't great but hey, Derek's a lucky guy. He has faith.

He can't believe how good his luck really is when one day his soul-match wanders right into his studio, all long limbs and copper eyes. There's just one problem: Stiles is there to get his soul mark covered up. Permanently.

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.

too busy being yours to fall for somebody new by whiry

(12/12 I 64,278 I Teen)

Stiles, worried that Scott may actually leave him behind because of his newfound popularity, is desperate to cling to something away from the drama of Lydia Martin's amazing parties and the woes of high school lacrosse. What he finds is Derek Hale, a guy who seemingly hates Stiles at first, but slowly, and insistently, becomes friends with him. As their friendship grows, Stiles starts to wonder if they could ever become something more or if pushing what they have will lead him to being alone for good.

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

(26/26 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.

When it all comes crumbling down by Littleredridinghunter

(18/18 I 216,191 I Not Rated)

Stiles is recovering from the Nogitsune. Erica is the only one that is really there for him, Scott's too busy rekindling his relationship with Allison and Stiles feels like he's falling apart.

When a near-miss with a kelpie results in an encounter that he could never have predicted, Stiles begins to think his life might be getting back on track.

He's wrong.

Stiles' life is so messed up he can't even begin to explain it, maybe it's time for him to finally do something for himself and get out of Beacon Hills. But where will that path lead?

With Stiles involved, no doubt danger and death won't be far behind.

[christinesficrecs]

hi christine! hope you're well. I was wondering if you knew any fics where Stiles thinks Derek doesn't like him but is actually in love with him? Or if you had a tag for it, could you direct me to it? I looked at your tag page and didn't see it but I definitely could've looked over it. Thank you so much!

Sure! You could also try the enemies to lovers tag.

Landslide by reillyblack | 25.5K | Mature

Beautiful? Check. Dismissive? Check. Hated him? Double check.

Stiles was doomed to develop a crush of epic proportions.

The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me (Is You) by distortedreality | 17.9K | Explicit

Derek is fairly certain the new kid is either an incubus or a witch. Turns out he’s actually his mate. Stiles is 98% certain the brooding guy in the leather jacket is fantasizing about stringing him up by his intestines. Turns out he’s also wrong.

A Wild Heart's Desire by mikkimouse | 13.4K

If there's one thing Stiles Stilinski knows, it's that Deputy Derek Hale absolutely Does Not Like him. The only reason Derek even tolerates him is because their kids are worryingly codependent.

So Stiles is understandably confused when a very feral Derek shows up in his backyard after a call gone wrong and proceeds to move in with him.

Between the Drinks and Subtle Things by yodasyoyo | 4.4K

He holds up his free hand, eyes still closed. “One second,” he says through gritted teeth. “I’m just taking a moment to mourn the fact that we could have been fucking since–” He cracks open an eye and glares at Derek.

“Freshman year,” Derek supplies. “I’ve pretty much had the biggest crush on you since our freshman year.”

erroneous manoeuvres by slippingfromreality | 5.3K

“Hey, Stilinski!”

Stiles clenches his teeth. “What do you want, Hale?” he shouts back, not bothering to turn around. The smug smirk that’s most likely waiting for him is already seared into his mind from overexposure.

“A date!” the answer comes, still as loud, and most of the bystanders giggle or snort in Stiles’ direction.

Stiles rolls his eyes. This is the third time this week. He’d complain that Hale’s jokes are getting pretty stale, but he’d probably be milking this situation for all that it’s worth, too, if their roles were reversed. “Wrong aisle,” he grouses back, “try the bakery section. I hear they have fresh tarts.”

Fireman Derek's Crazy Pie [Cheeseburger Baby] by owlpostagain | 17.6K

“He can't blame me for the fact that I live in a building full of people united in the singular effort to ogle Hot Fireman as often as humanly possible."

Laura laughs, loud and echoing in the empty restaurant.

"Hot firemen can make a girl do crazy things," she agrees, nodding towards her brother's name on the menu. "Derek won't let me date anyone from his company, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the eye candy."

"Send them my way," Stiles suggests, finally loading up a forkful of pie. "Apparently I'm incompetent enough that I need to be babysat at all times, because it would be cheaper than dispatching a truck every time I try to use a kitchen appliance."

Broken Nose | 3K

Stiles is convinced that Jock-y Derek Hale hates him. It takes an accidental injury at the beach to turn that all upside down.

Laying Groundwork by 10.9K | Explicit

The one where Scott and Stiles go clubbing and there's this broody Bouncer out to get Stiles-

Or get into his pants. Thank God it's the latter.

[After the pack runs into one of Derek's ex's from his time in New York]

Stiles: Oh my god, that girl was gorgeous! I mean, did you guys see her?!

The pack:

Stiles: Why on Earth would Derek ever break up with someone so beautiful? What was he even thinking?!

The pack:

Stiles: I know if I ever landed someone like that, I'd probably never let them go.

The pack:

Stiles: Aw shoot, I gotta get going or I'm gonna be late. See you later guys!

The pack: The pack:

Malia: So, are we all still pretending Derek's ex-girlfriend didn't just look like Stiles in a wig?

[stereklyrics]

Stiles & Derek are dating, but they're a bit discreet when the pack is around, so the pack doesn't notice they're dating... Until they're having a meet and Stiles is "late", so Erica asks "Okay, where's Stiles?" and then Derek just shrugs and says "Oh, he arrived and was tired as fuck, so I told him to go take a nap. I'll fill him in later, we can go on without him 'cause no one is going to wake him up." The pack is confused, but they just go ahead.

A bit later when they're done with the boring part of the meeting Stiles comes downstairs and just casually kisses Derek and then turns to the pack "What did I miss?" the pack is shocked and Isaac says "You just kissed Derek." and Stiles replies "Well, yeah... It happens when you're dating someone." and the pack is like "DATING?????!!!!!" while Stiles & Derek are just like "Yeah, we thought you guys knew...? But anyways, let's just order food and watch something. "

A random Sterek thought....

Okay, so... Several people have made comments on Derek and Stiles arguing with each other and speaking different languages - I've no clue where I first saw it but it's awesome. So....

When Derek and Stiles get into a full blown argument and lose it, they slip into other languages - Derek into Spanish and Stiles into Polish. This just makes the other more angry as Derek knows nothing but a few expletives Stiles taught the pack, and all Stiles can remember of Spanish class is making up inventive ways to insult his teacher.

So, the only words they can pick up are insults (or what they presume are insults) and they carry on screaming at each other while actually saying how they really feel because they get carried away knowing the other can't understand.

All in respective languages, bold are what the other picks up:

Derek: why can you never listen to anything I'm telling you, it's infuriating and frustrating!

Stiles: How am I supposed to talk to you when you look like that? You make me crazy!

Derek: I want to kiss you senseless and then maybe you would shut up, then maybe you wouldn't think I was so fucking boring.

Stiles: I would punch you in your stupid perfect face but I would end up in the emergency room and you wouldn't give a shit.

Derek: I can't deal with you when you antagonise me and get in my face because you turn me on by being so defiant and confrontational.

Stiles: You're such an asshole and I fucking love it.

Lydia can't listen to them anymore because she understands both languages and wants to kill them both.

Peter understands most of it, certainly all of the Spanish, and treats it like a telenovela. He can't wait for the next installment.

Scott doesn't understand why they're both so angry.

Jackson and Malia don't give a shit.

There is a lot of collective eye rolling, until eventually Cora starts screaming at Derek in Spanish "Will you two just fuck for god's sake!" He glares.

Lydia says "Finally!" then proceeds to say the same to Stiles in Polish. He goes very red and swears in Polish, before sticking his tongue out at her.

Peter claps his hands together with glee and tells everyone to get out of the loft immediately or be scarred for life listening to what is about to happen.

Lydia grabs Stiles hand and drags him towards Derek, he flails and squawks at her but follows.

She then positions him directly in front of Derek, before saying "When two boys love each other they should stop with the sexual tension fighting and actually do something about it. I'm leaving. Fix this."

She shoves Stiles into Derek so Derek has to catch him. She exits leaving them in stunned silence.

It isn't silent for long.

[wellhalesbells]

the thing that fucks me up about rereading instructions for dancing is trying to pinpoint when it is that derek becomes obsessed with stiles and realizing the answer seems to be always. from the beginning. the moment they met. that poor bastard. he probably should have tried to be a little nicer about it, though, saved them both some hardship.

I think it slides so quickly from fear and annoyance that Stiles will steal Scott away to 'Oh no, oh fuck,' I'm not even sure Derek knows himself. Poor guy hamstrung himself by starting out with the 'I'm going to scare him away' mentality then wondering where the hell that went and trying to find it again through almost every subsequent interaction (while something so much bigger and so much worse - Derek's Thoughts™ - completely eclipsed it). Meanwhile Stiles also helps cultivate Derek's dickish-ness by assuming that original motivation to be his only interest in him at all, essentially until the moment Derek tells him he's in love with him.

Which is hopefully why it seemingly comes out of left field for Stiles and the reader, because that's what I wanted.

Pact

AO3 Link

Stiles and Derek made a pact when they were in middle school. If they were both still single when they were thirty, then they would marry each other.

Derek and Stiles both agreed to it but the moment Derek saw Stiles with his arm around a brunette girl their sophomore year, he realized that Stiles fully intended on looking for someone else in the meantime.

Derek didn't realize the consequences of agreeing. His sole thought was being with Stiles, not just as a contingency if they were still single. It was Stiles that Derek wanted and would always want.

It hurt to see that it wasn’t mutual. Derek didn't want to be a last resort. He tried to date but no one felt right. What the teen didn’t realize though was that Stiles too only wanted him.

Unfortunately neither would learn that truth until July 4th, 2026, when they ran into each other, literally at the Independence Day Event in New York.

They were both thirty, had never married, were still single and both of them were still hopelessly in love with each other.

“So, about that pact,” Stiles said.

Derek quirked a brow. “What about it?”

“Are we going to keep it?”

“Is that what you want?”

“Yes. It’s what I’ve always wanted.”

“Are you serious?!” Derek exclaimed.

Stiles nodded, swallowing thickly. “Deadly. You’ve always been it for me.”

Derek chuckled wetly. “Idiot.”

“I love you. So, I’m your idiot.”

“Mine.”

No more words were said as they kissed to the sound of fireworks, the glow of the fireworks on their faces was beautiful and perfect.

The two men blushed as they pulled apart and walked towards the pier hand in hand. They kissed constantly but neither complained. After all, they had nearly two decades to make up for.

Hey, I 've been looking for a fic since forever, maybe you can help.

It's a sterek, Stiles is away from the pack for college and Derek is making the renovations in the Hale house with a room for everyone in the pack. Derek is always asking Stiles for advice because Stiles is his mate, but Stiles is totally oblivious and pining while thinking Derek is in love with someone else. Thank you for your help

Hi @sillyrabbitbloggingfromacave! @irat-that-s-me says it's this one.

You’d Be So Good To Come Home To by SylvieW

(1/1 I 5,073 I Teen I Sterek)

In Stiles’ final year of college, Derek decides to rebuild the Hale house. He keeps asking for Stiles’ opinion on the house plans. Stiles doesn't realize that Derek is building the house with a mate in mind.

[christinesficrecs]

Derek's Epic Love Story by arrowofcarnations | 11.5K | Explicit

Derek Hale is good at getting what he wants. Unfortunately, what he wants now is Stiles Stilinski, who doesn't exactly seem to be in the mood for his shit.

Bonds of Blood, Bonds of Family, Bonds of Love by TyReed | 44K | Mature

After being beaten up by a door, werewolf Stiles Stilinksi finds himself bonded to Derek Hale, of the Hale Noble Bloodline. For a scrawny, wimpy, Tainted Bloodline werewolf, Stiles runs away, embarrassed and humiliated as he worries about bringing shame to the Hale Family, and even more shame to himself. Because the Nobles and Tainted just don't mix, never have, never will.

Except, things aren't exactly what they seem.

With the help of the (meddling) Hale family, his adoptive (meddling) human parents John and Claudia Stilinksi, and one very persistent Alpha Derek Hale, Stiles might come to see himself as more than just the blood that runs through his veins, and open his heart to find the happiness, friends, pack, and the family that he'd always wanted.

A Broken Heart Is Blind | 5.3K | Mature

When Lydia dumps Stiles to get back with Jackson, Stiles rebounds with Derek, his former TA. It was just supposed to be a one night stand, but they're both a little confused about what the rules for those are.

The Not So Beauty to Your Not So Beast by isthatbloodonhisshirt (wasterella) | 64.4K | Mature

“Mieczyslaw Stilinski?”

All eyes instantly turned to Stiles and he felt his stomach drop. They’d taken his dad. They’d actually taken his dad and were here to tell him so.

“Yeah?” he asked in a small voice, feeling ready to be sick.

The second he spoke, two of the four regular guards moved through the rows, the lead guard speaking.

“By order of his Grace Peter Hale, you have been selected to begin your employ under the royal house of Hale.”

Wait.

What?

Mating Habits of the Domesticated North American Werewolf by lielabell | 35.4K | Mature

Weave Soft Spells Over My Sight by AgnesBlue | 51.4K | Mature

Derek had blossomed steadily over the past year, growing into his ears and turning even more handsome, if that were possible. But instead of going out and melting the panties off the girls, suddenly he was coming to Stiles all bashed in, demanding that he patch him up like Stiles was some freelance nurse. It was a familiar pattern by now.

Thaw by TroubleIWant | 9.9K | Mature

In which Stiles is an Emissary, Derek is in love with him, and nothing comes as easy as it should.

I Intend to be Independently Blue by Loz | 21.7K | Mature

Stiles is the worst thing that could have happened to Derek. He hasn't been wolfing out at inopportune moments since his teens, but only because he has a system in place. And this is where Stiles comes into play. Because he's been messing with this system, and doesn't even know. Also, there's a wendigo.

Living a Teenage Dream by Lissadiane | 19.8K

Rumor has it that Sheriff Stilinkski won't let his stepson Scott date until his other son Stiles does, so when Allison makes the mistake of falling for Scott, her well-meaning (and dickish) friends hatch a scheme to hire someone to take Stiles to homecoming.

You Remember It All; When I Loved You So by crossroadswrite | 21.4K 

Derek takes a step forward and then stops. Stiles can see the way his muscles tense and tremble like he’s holding himself back by a hair.

“What-“ his voice breaks, he gets a little choked off and has to drop his eyes.

It’s been one year. He doesn’t think he can look at him after one year.

“What are you doing here?” he mumbles into the floor, knows that Derek will hear him.

“I-“

“Hey, Stilinski!”

Stiles clenches his teeth. “What do you want, Hale?” he shouts back, not bothering to turn around. The smug smirk that’s most likely waiting for him is already seared into his mind from overexposure.

Semblance of Hope by Dexterous_Sinistrous | 14.8K | Explicit

“Have a drink,” John offered, looking over Derek’s shoulder at the bar. “I know that a certain someone would be happy to see you again.”

Derek turned to look over his shoulder, catching sight of a familiar head of messy hair, pale skin, and moles. The exact person he wanted to see behind the bar.

Stiles.

It had been almost five years since Derek saw Stiles, remembering the last night he saw him. How much of a coward he had been, sneaking out of the room before Stiles could wake. He wasn’t any good—for anyone.

And he knew, more than anything, he didn't deserve Stiles.

Badly Timed Boners and A Failure To Communicate by eeyore9990 | 22.8K | Explicit

Suddenly, Derek is everywhere, and not just in that creepy, Edward Cullen, I'm-gonna-stalk-around-and-lurk-broodingly way. Stiles doesn't know what's up with that, but he's pretty sure there's only one conclusion to be reached.

We're all going to fucking die.

Scrubbing Bubbles by MargaretKire | 46K | Explicit

Stiles thought it would be easy doing janitorial work for an office. At first, it really was. The job only took a few hours in the evenings and it helped pay for rent and college. Sure, Hale Industries took up an entire floor in one of the downtown financial buildings, but the place was new and easy to care for. He didn’t even have to spend much time cleaning the huge corner office, because the trash was nearly always empty and the office itself was spotless, like no one used it.

It was basically the perfect college job. At least, until the boss started staying late.

Jinx Removing by DevilDoll | 6.2K | Explicit

"Derek wished he would sit down or take his jacket off or something; anything that would indicate he was going to stay for more than a few minutes."

Alpha Nose Best by CharWright5 | 23.1K | Explicit

Alpha Derek Hale is noseblind. He can smell every day things, like coffee brewing or recently mowed grass or people's perfume, but when it comes to personal scents and telling an Alpha from a Beta from an Omega? Not so much. As annoying as it may be, he's grown to accept it and moves on with his life. Besides, he has more important things to worry about.

Until he stumbles upon the most delicious scent he's ever had the pleasure of sniffing in his life, leading to an unfortunate misunderstanding in a public bathroom. And to make matters worse, this Alpha-hating Omega he accidentally accosted just happens to be the best friend of his own best friend Erica and the two of them have been recruited to help her plan part of her elopement. It's not how Derek wanted to spend his week...until it totally is.

it's obvious, you're oblivious by EvanesDust | 14.8K | Explicit

Derek’s new roommate is alpha bait but seems disinterested in everyone—especially Derek.

Stiles is suddenly popular, but can't seem to catch the interest of the only alpha he actually likes.

...or the one where Stiles and Derek get paired together in room assignments and are secretly in love with the other.

Turn a Little Faster by skoosiepants | 3.2K

He shifts back and forth on his feet and tries to psych himself up. He can do this. He’s a badass werewolf, he can totally tell Stiles that they accidentally got werewolf married because—because Stiles was thinking about him, and happened to give him a token of his, uh, affection under the silvery light of the last full moon. Platonic affection, Derek thinks sourly, so he doesn’t get why his wolf feels all warm and fuzzy and bonded all of a sudden.

Honestly, it’s like—why aren’t people accidentally getting werewolf married all the time, if it happens this easily?

Teenage Dream by matildajones | 58.5K | Mature

After an accident, Stiles wakes up to what can only be a dream. He has money, he has fame, he has award winning actor Derek Hale as his husband. It quickly seems more and more like a nightmare because Stiles doesn't remember getting any of it - and it's hard to accept the reality that Derek can still love him.

[general-kalani]

"You got Herald John angry? How could you do that?!"

Stiles & Derek are dating, the pack is oblivious and doesn't notice, so when Stiles accidentally calls Derek "Babe" infront of the pack, the pack is like "WTF?" and Stiles & Derek are like "How the fuck you guys didn't know?!"
