Derek shaving his beard off for the first time since Eli was born. Eli starts to cry and runs to stiles cause he does not recognize that man. Stiles loved the beard but he also missed seeing Derek’s dimples.

Poor Derek would feel so bad for scaring Eli, and Eli wouldn’t look at him until at least the stubble comes back.

Don’t Tell Derek

There’s one unspoken rule that went without saying, one that they had all agreed to: don’t tell Derek.

You can also read the fic and tags on AO3, here

It was an unspoken rule that they’d all silently agreed to: don’t tell Derek.

It started one night when Stiles woke up, craving salt and vinegar chips and ice cream. However, when he began to dig through the freezer, he realised that the only ice cream there was Derek’s—his favourite chocolate chip ice cream that he bought specifically because the chocolate doesn’t mess with his wolf side. Boyd and Erica had gotten home late from date night, and found Stiles half-slouched on the kitchen counter, eating straight out of the tub. In the tense stare that ensued, he subtly reached into the cutlery drawer and pulled out two spoons, offering them to Erica and Boyd in exchange for their silence.

Since then, if you got caught eating Derek’s ice cream, your silence could be bought with the offer of a spoon and the mutual agreement not to tell Derek who ate it.

 Stiles let out a weak groan, dragging his hands down his face as he let out a broken sigh. Adrenaline pulsed through his veins and he tried to steady the breaths that heaved at his chest—the nightmare lingering in the shadows of his mind.

He sat up, letting the blankets pool around his waist. He looked over at the man who lay beside him, his outline dimly lit by the moonlight that bled through the gap in the curtains. His hair was a mess, like a pool of raven-black ink spilt across the pillow, and the harsh lines of his face had been softened by sleep.

Stiles was careful not to wake him as he slid out of bed and crossed the room, making his way out into the hallway. From the top of the staircase, he could see the golden glow of the kitchen light pooling in the open doorway.

He made his way downstairs and looked in to see Isaac sitting at the kitchen counter. He was never one to initiate the secretive ice cream eating—he would just get the tub out of the freezer, set it on the bench and wait with two spoons in his hand for someone to inevitably join him.

That’s how Stiles found him: sitting at the kitchen counter with two spoons on the tabletop beside him, staring at the tub of ice cream as if he had telekinetic abilities.

Stiles couldn’t help but smile as he stepped into th kitchen. He picked up one of the spoons and handed Isaac the other one as he pulled the lid off the tub of ice cream.

He hadn’t been there long—the ice cream was still frozen solid and the container’s lid has a thin white sheet of frost across it.

Stiles dug his spoon into the ice cream, taking the first bite and granting Isaac permission to eat.

“Are you okay?” Stiles asked between mouthfuls.

“Just nightmares,” Isaac replied quietly and somewhat dismissively.

“Me too,” Stiles said, shoving another spoonful of ice cream into his mouth. “Want to talk about it?”

“Not really,” Isaac said, using his spoon to chip away at the solid ice cream before scooping it up. “I don’t know.”

Stiles didn’t push; he knew that if Isaac wanted to talk, he would, but it had to be in his own time. And until he was ready, Stiles would be there.

“It was my dad,” Isaac said after a while, a hint of frustration adding an edge to his voice. “It’s stupid; he’s dead and I’m still afraid of him.”

Isaac didn’t look up at Stiles. His face was tense but his deep sapphire-blue eyes glistened with tears.

“The things your dad did to you don’t just go away,” Stiles said softly. “He can’t hurt you anymore, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t hurt you.”

Isaac nodded, letting out a calming breath. He poked at the ice cream a bit but didn’t eat any more.

“What about you?” he asked.

“Nogitsune,” Stiles answered.

“The nogitsune gone,” Isaac said, trying to sound reassuring.

“So’s your dad,” Stiles countered. “Doesn’t make it any easier to forget.”

Isaac paused for a moment. When he spoke again, his voice was barely a whisper. “I took the bite because I wanted to be strong. I wanted to be able to protect myself. I wanted to have some control over my life. I got all that and more—I got the pack; a family… a place where I belong and where people care about me. But you… you had all of that. You didn’t need the bite.”

Stiles smiled slightly.

“Everyone underestimated you,” Isaac continued. “I underestimated you.”

“And you won’t again,” Stiles said smugly.

“People look at you and they think you’re weak and defenceless, but you’re the strongest of all of us. You’re brave, strong, defiant, loyal, and I can’t imagine what it was like to lose all of that—to lose control over your own body.”

“You’d think that’s the worst part, but it’s not. I thought slowly losing my mind would be the worst part, but I was wrong. The worst part was watching on helplessly as someone made me hurt my friends.”

A moment of heavy silence fell between them.

“We’re okay now, right?” Isaac asked, his voice shaky and breaking slightly.

Stiles looked up, meeting his gaze He offered him a kind, reassuring smile. “Yeah, we are.”

Stiles scooped up another spoonful of ice cream and held it up. Isaac mirrored him, tapping their spoons together.

“Cheers,” they both said jokingly before shoving the ice cream in their mouths.

A moment later, they heard the wooden boards of the staircase creak as quiet footsteps slowly approached.

Stiles pre-emptively reached into the cutlery drawer and grabbed another spoon, holding it out as Erica sheepishly peeked her head around the corner of the kitchen door.

Her face lit up with a grin as she happily waddled over to Isaac’s side and took the spoon Stiles offered with a quiet “Thank you”.

She began to methodically dig through the ice cream and pick out he chocolate chips.

Isaac’s brow furrowed as he watched her, perplexed.

“You alright there?” he asked. “You’re stealing all the chocolate.”

“Period.”

The one word was all they needed. Stiles and Isaac began to meticulously dig through the tub of ice cream to find the chocolate chips, stacking them up in the corner of the tub for Erica.

Next to join them was Boyd, dragging his feet across the floor as he lethargically wrapped his arms around Erica. He politely declined the spoon Stiles offered him; he didn’t want ice cream—he just couldn’t sleep without Erica.

Stiles looked at Isaac, shooting him a look that told him not to tease Boyd for being so sappy and sweet.

Isaac pouted, slumping his shoulders, but didn’t put up a fight. He turned his attention back to the ice cream.

The four of them were too busy talking quietly that they didn’t notice the fifth that joined their group.

He picked up the spoon that Stiles had offered Boyd and began to eat the ice cream.

Isaac glanced up, his eyes widening with terror as the spoon fell from his hand, clattering across the kitchen benchtop.

The loud noise made them all jump, eyes snapping up to Isaac. They followed the young man’s terrified gaze to the man who stood beside Stiles, eating the ice cream, unperturbed.

His short dark hair was tousled from sleep and his pale aventurine eyes were half-dazed with sleep.

Derek.

Their eyes grew wide as they exchanged scared looks, trying to read each other’s thoughts.

Boyd – who hadn’t been eating the ice cream – subtly nodded towards the kitchen door, hinting that they should make a run for it. But there was nowhere to go and they’d never outrun him.

Erica looked as if she were weighing up using the ‘period’ card again to get out of trouble and Isaac looked about ready to cry.

They waited, expecting a stern lecture or an outburst of anger and cried of betrayal.

Derek looked up at them, his eyes darting from one beta to the next.

“What?” he asked. “I know you all eat my ice cream. I just want some of it before it’s all gone.”

They watched as he dug his spoon into the tub again, making sure to get a few chocolate chips in his scoop.

“You’re not mad?” Stiles asked hesitantly.

“That you’ve been eating my ice cream? No. But I am a little upset that you guys felt like you had to hide it from me, and a little hurt that you never thought to wake me up or ask if I wanted to join you.”

They all bowed their heads, their stomachs twisting with guilt.

“I’ll buy more next time,” Derek promised, eating another spoonful. “If you all promise to stop hiding this from me.”

“Promise,” they all muttered in unison.

“Okay,” Derek said with a soft smile. He reached forward for another spoonful but froze. “Oh, Erica—if you only want the chocolate, they make chocolate bars. I grabbed a few for you. They’re in the cupboard over there.”

He nodded towards the cupboard int eh corner of the kitchen.

“You can have them if you leave some chocolate chips for the rest of us—it’s not the same without them.”

Boyd stepped over to the cupboard, grabbing one of the chocolate bars and handing it to Erica.

Her spoon fell to the benchtop with a clang as she eagerly took the chocolate. She tore the wrapper open and paused, looking down at the chocolate--thinking.

She broke off a chunk and crushed it up, sprinkling it over the ice cream.

Isaac’s face lit up with excitement. He dug his spoon into the slightly-melted ice cream and stirred it around, mixing in the chunks of chocolate before scooping out a loaded spoonful.

They ate about half the tub of ice cream, but finally sleep won them over.

Isaac was swaying on the stool he sat on, his eyelids drooping and his eyes unfocused. Derek sent them off to bed while he cleaned up.

“Some on, I,” Erica said encouragingly. “Off to bed with you.”

Isaac let out a weak groan in protest.

Erica wrapped her arm around Isaac, helping the young man to his feet and sleepily making their way upstairs. From the hallway, they heard Isaac mutter a sleepy “Goodnight”.

Boyd picked up the chocolate bar, wrapping it in the wrapper and taking it with him as he followed Erica and Isaac up to bed.

Stiles gathered up the spoons and set them down in the sink while Derek fitted the lid back on the tub of ice cream and put it back in the freezer.

Stiles turned, leaning back on the edge of the counter as he looked at Derek.

“I’m sorry,” he said quietly. “It was never mean to be so secretive and we never meant for it to be malicious.”

“It’s okay,” Derek said softly. “I’m not upset; it just hurts that you were all so scared to tell me. Did you really think I’d be mad?”

“I guess we were scared to find out,” Stiles admitted, staring down at his bare feet.

“You’re my pack, my family. I’d get mad if you were fighting with each other or if you recklessly put yourselves in danger. But eating ice cream, why would I get mad about that?”

“Because it’s your ice cream,” Stiles suggested, the upward infliction of his voice making it sound more like a question than a statement.

“If I didn’t want any of you eating it, I would have hidden it a better place than in plain sight.”

Stiles felt his face flush red. He cringed as he realised how right Derek was and how stupid he was for feeling like they had to be so secretive. Derek never asked who had touched his ice cream; they had simply made the agreement to never tell him.

“Come on,” Derek said softly, smiling sweetly at Stiles as he wrapped his arm around the young man’s shoulders and walked him out of the kitchen, turning off the light as they left. “Let’s go back to bed.”

Series Fic Rec Part 9

DAY 2

The Planners become the Planees by Mickeyhale - (Planning) -(Rating: Mature, Words: 50446, sterek)

Stiles and Derek are simply trying to navigate their way through raising a home full of teenagers. They rely on each other through their crazy, fun filled domestic lives. What they are unawares of, is what their children have planned for them.

Rescue Me (& Take Me In Your Arms) by tumtatumtum - (Rescue Me (D/S Sterek Series)) - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 33996, sterek)

Just when Stiles is starting to reach panic-attack levels of stress, a leather jacket and firm thigh are pressed right up next to him, and an arm is casually thrown over his shoulder. Stiles looks up to thank this kind person who is saving his life, and suddenly forgets what air is.

Because HOT. DAMN. Call the police and the fire-man, this guy is smoking.

Or the AU where Derek helps save Stiles from an ex, and a steamy BDSM relationship ensues- with feelings all over the place.

I Like It When by elisera - (Steadfast) - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 4997, sterek)

They’re in the middle of fucking when Stiles really notices it for the first time. He’s got Derek on his back and Stiles is sitting on his dick, taking things slow in an attempt to see how long they can stand it, how long it’ll take either of them to cave and pick up the pace. That was the plan but when Derek gets his hands on Stiles’ hips and Stiles can feel him tensing up in preparation to move Stiles the way Derek wants him to, he grabs Derek by the wrists and pulls his hands up instead, pins them down next to his head. He has no illusions about being able to hold Derek down but he’s feeling playful.

Big Spoon by Emela - (Blushing Derek Verse) - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 3487, sterek)

If there is anything Stiles has learned from being forced to watch romantic comedies with Lydia since Freshmen year, it’s that when you begin to fall for someone, it usually starts with their smile. Or their eyes. Or even their ass. What all those hours do not prepare him for is falling head over- why-am-I-getting-a-boner-from-this- heels because of a blush.

That Sexy Mechanic Look by dragon_temeraire - (Car Sex) - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 1965, sterek)

Derek’s mostly convinced already. He has a hot boyfriend, an empty automotive shop, a dick that’s already half-hard, and not a lot to lose.

Follow You by SylvieW - (Follow Us) - (Rating: T, Words: 5173, sterek)

Just because the rest of the pack didn't want to visit Derek's family cabin didn't mean that Stiles couldn't enjoy it, right? That's totally a thing that almost friends do, right? Totally.

Eyes On The Road by SexySourAlpha - (Sourwolf and Me) - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 1698, sterek)

Sitting in a car for 3 hours isn't really good for someone with ADHD and Derek just wants to be boring. So Stiles takes matters into his own hands...literally.

This Time With Feeling by Crimson1 - (With Feeling) - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 36132, sterek)

"Derek Hale, if you refuse to learn from your past…then you will be doomed to repeat it." In which Derek is turned into a 16-year-old and has to stay with Stiles until they figure out how to turn him back. Eventual slash and smut, set post season 2, semi-AU.

Tumblr Pornlet 13: Baby Boy by LupusScintilla (inkandblade) - (Baby Boy Derek Hale) - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 356, sterek)

“You were made for this, for me, baby boy.”

Stiles Stilinski: Actual Disney Princess by LadySlytherin - (The Wolf's Red Mate) - (Rating: Mature, Words: 20235, sterek)

Halloween + Drag queen friends = Crossdressing!Stiles fic! Throw in a miscast spell that has woodland creatures and our resident weres trailing behind Stiles a-la-fairytale-logic and you’ve got a recipe for disaster...and love.

[juurensha]

Can I ask your top 10 fav fics ever (from any fandom, if you don't mind)?

Also, just curious, is there a story behind your name "juurensha "?

Thanks if you want to answer....

Ooooo such a fun question.

Top 10 fics ever:

Something Borrowed by rageprufrock - the best IwaOi fic, I love it so much, the characterizations are just stellar here (is it ABO, yes, but shush, I love it)

家教 - or - Domestic Education by rageprufrock - the best Guardian fic I've ever read, and I love the Shanghai-ness of it all!

as to which may be the true by susiecarter - identity porn at its best (I was going to pick tell all the truth (but tell it slant) by susiecarter originally, because fake dating, but I've reread this one more, so I think it has to count as my favorite SuperBat fic)

Excessively Clever by astolat and Champion by astolat - I know nothing about Transformers, but astolat's fic made me absolutely adore these robots

The vates series by Lightning on the Wave (starts here ) - just because it takes the HP series world and completely blows it up and adds so much cool lore of its own. Yes, yes, all the characters are basically OC's at this point, and the Drarry gets a bit too much come Year 4, but my god, that lore.

a simple thing by iridan - lovely Mandalorian fic that gives both Din and Boba peace (and ignores the later seasons, thank god)

ships that pass in the night by beethechange - okay, okay, I know it's RPF, and let me caveat by saying, I think the real Ryan and Shane are just good friends, but I really enjoyed the hilariousness of this fic and the innate wistfulness and yearning to it as well.

it's about time that you just unwind by fuckener - idk, I just love two middle-aged snarky guys figuring out their sexualities and working out their trauma together, despite the fact that I have watched It entirely through gifsets

Lithograph by romantic_drift - the Nirvana in Fire fixit fic we all DESERVE

And now I'm going to cheat and stick a few extra under the readmore

Play It Again by metisket - all I have ever wanted is for all the Hales to be alive, so I deeply enjoyed this Sterek AU

Fealty by astolat - Person of Interest was pretty formative for me, and I love nothing more than devotion

Out of This Place by Sineala - sort of fake dating, and I do love Eagle of the Ninth so much, despite it being kind of a terrible movie

Dooku Captured, Pt 2 by DarthNickels - the Stars Wars AU we all deserved

#bakudeku by rageprufrock - it's not a BakuDeku story, its a TodoDeku story, and I love it because it's hilarious

An Unexpected Gift by Miko - an oldie but a goodie, I am still so fond of the Silver Pair from Prince of Tennis

And as for my username juurensha, this all stems from juu's weeb phase (that she never grew out of exactly, so it's actually quite fitting!) Tiny 13/14 year old juu was quite into Bleach and Naruto and was of course coming up with OC's, and specifically for Naruto, wanted to come up with a girl from a weapon's family. Googling random Japanese terms online yielded

銃連射/じゅうれんしゃ

meaning rapid weapons fire/or hail of bullets.

13/14 year old weeb juu: close enough!

So, that was my Naruto and Bleach OC's last name. Yes, and then I proceeded to use this super cringe name as my Ao3 username because I assumed that no one else would have used it yet, and here I am!

...I still really like it :DDDD

[scerekappreciation]

I won't waste much time rolling the red carpet out, but please do check out the rules and know that these daily prompts are completely optional! Let your shippy thoughts go wild with Scerek this week!

Prompt List for Scerek Week 2022!!

Day 1 - Little Red and The Werewolf This phrase is commonly used in the Sterek fandom, BUT what if we change the characters to be Scott and Derek?Take that as you interpret it and write anything! Alternate first meetings, Fairytale AUs, anything that comes to mind! Maybe even switch the characters with Scott as the werewolf and Derek as little broody red!

Day 2 - Post-Canon Happenings Where do you think Scott and Derek would be in say 5 or 10 years into the future? You could even write 5 days after the finale if you're feeling adventurous!

Day 3 - Isekai'd Isekai is a Japanese genre of media that revolves around a person who is transported to and has to survive in another world. Generally these a light and humorous, but you can take any type of turn you like!

Day 4 - Growing closer As the seasons went on, Scott and Derek's relationship shifts. And a good chunk of that is offscreen. So this day is for writing any conversations or events that could've happened offscreen.

Day 5 - Unreliable Trip Down Memory Lane Rewrite a scene from canon, or maybe take another scene from another piece of media and Scerek-ify it!

Day 6 - Corruption arc // Stuff it with Fluff Play with some dark themes, sink into the sea of Angst and Whump, channel the deepest darkest versions of Scott and Derek. Or Jeff loved to hurt our boys a lot. Without any consequences much. So let's give Scott and Derek what they deserve. Rainbows, ice cream and sprinkles, cuddles, kisses and hugs, all the fluff, all the diabetes. All the tooth rotting sweetness

Day 7 - Dealer's Choice All you gotta do is write Scerek. In any situation you want.

Any questions, feel free to send an ask to this blog or to my main blog @domesticated-feral !

https://archiveofourown.org/works/50146258 by Winchesterek The first thing that hit him when he came into the house was the fragrant scent of baked apples. Fall was Stiles’ favorite season. The way the air started to chill and it was just cool enough for him to wear a light jacket or hoodie, but not cold enough for him to wear something like a scarf. It never got that cold in California anyway. But Fall. Fall was perfect. Everyone started worshiping pumpkin spice, even if Stiles didn't care for it, and the energy surrounding the changing seasons always gave him life despite the world dying around him.

[imagine-sterek]

Imagine Derek growls and whimpers like a dog in his sleep. And the first time stiles heard he just ignored it and when back to sleep never to mention it again.

And he likes to roll around his sheets when they get out of the dryer so they can smell like him. And any time stiles fixes his own bed Derek ruins it by rolling around it. And stiles just whines that he just fixed that and he would get in trouble with his dad cause it looks like he doesn’t clean his room.

[sterekchub]

Any kind of WG tropes or ~vibes~ that you're feeling at the moment?

....I don't even know where to start BUT it is fall so Pumpkin sized bellies from pumpkin spice addictions or stretched out Halloween costumes, wolves hibernating and putting on their winter weight... Haunted Houses that trap and feed, "SAW" traps that less dark and more just "fatten or stay there until you starve" I am ALWAYS feeling AU vibes: Fat!CEO Derek or fat!Intern Stiles. Fat!Royalty AUs. Fat and slobby college bros Scott and Stiles. (alwaysss slob Stiles or sort of fat/Feral Derek). Soft and sweet domestic Sterek and happy relationship weight....and on the flip side, then rough, tie you down and funnel feed you until you're fat enough. BUT tbh I'm always here for the vibes of most any WG tropes and anything from chubby to "struggling to reach around their belly" to "too fat to leave the bed" size because.....any and all is good.

How often do you write? 

Lately it’s been nearly every day, but there have been months-long stretches where I won’t write anything, either because life is being a pain in the ass or because I was too focused on a different kind of creative project like sewing or knitting. Honestly, the huntlow brainrot is a big contributing factor to this summer writing burst — I’ve outlined 20+ stories since May, and have posted 7 of them so far. It feels really good.

Do you have a routine for writing?

Mostly I just need a quiet, comfy, clean setting to write in. Chores done, no big to-do items to distract me or make me feel anxious. No loud noises or flashing lights. I usually prop up my laptop on some pillows on my bed, put on my headphones, and play some soft lyric-less music. Some of my favorite tracks to write to are from tabletop audio.

What’s your favorite tropes/pairing?

I absolutely live for mutual pining and oblivious idiots in love. The more blushing, slow burn sexual and romantic tension, oh and oh no he’s hot moments, and adorable confessions, the better. Also, happy endings. I need my ship to get together and be happy in fluffy domestic bliss by the end.

Pairings: 

My current fixation is Hunter/Willow from The Owl House. My longest-standing pairing I’ve been writing fic on and off for about a decade now is Sterek from Teen Wolf. My first big pairing I ever wrote for that will always hold a special place in my heart is Eleven/Amy from Doctor Who.

Do you have a favorite fic of yours?

Oh that’s difficult. See, I won’t write a fic if I don’t 100% adore the concept, but that being said, I definitely have ones I favor more than others. So I’ll do one two for each of the pairings I just listed.

My actual favorite of all my huntlow fics hasn’t been posted yet (it’s a multi-chapter college AU and it’s still in the works) but of the ones I’ve posted so far, I think A Guard By Any Other Name and Task Failed Successfully are my favorites.

My favorite Sterek fic is between Error 404: Brain Cell Not Found and Hearts Like Wildflowers (though this could change, because I’ve still got about 30 WIPs for them sitting in my queue waiting to be written and posted)

And then for Eleven/Amy, I think I’d have to say that my favorite was the most recent one, posted over three years ago: You Keep My Secrets Hope To Die (Promises Swear Them To The Sky) which had literally been sitting in my drafts since season 5 or 6 of Doctor Who. (So, you see, I do eventually get around to finishing all my WIPs, sometimes it just takes me a while lol)

Your fic with the most kudos?

Error 404: Brain Cell Not Found with 1283 kudos

Anything you don’t like about your writing?

Sometimes I get too in my head about making it sound perfect and spend far more time editing and re-editing the same few lines instead of actually making progress writing the damn thing. I also tend to overthink and feel the need to over-explain certain concepts, worried that if I leave something too vague or open-ended, it’ll get misinterpreted. Also, I have a tendency to get a little too flowery and pretentiously descriptive sometimes, I have a habit of writing stream of consciousness run-on sentences that look like they’re just one big paragraph, and I probably definitely over-use em-dashes lol

Now something you do like?

I’ve been told that I’m really good at capturing a character’s voice, which is a really lovely thing to hear consistently across different fandoms and ships because I pride myself on really getting to know the characters I’m writing for, to the point where I’d feel confident answering questions like “what is their favorite xyz, what would they do in this situation?” I’m also always so incredibly pleased every time I get a comment from someone telling me that my fic was so cute and/or funny that it made them laugh out loud in public or made them flail and screech. I love inciting that level of joy in people ☺️♥️

hello i'm sending sterek and also slipping in scott/jackson just bc i can for the ship ask game

nice nice ty okay this will let me answer all the questions \o/

sterek: Ship It

What made you ship it? I'm pretty sure I knew going into the show that sterek was the big popular ship, so I was probably primed for it, but Stiles endeared himself to me within like 10 seconds of appearing on screen, and the sterek dynamic in season 1 was pretty blatant. Stiles being both obsessed with and intimidated by Derek, and Derek being "evil" but also the most tragic soft sad boy, lol.

What are your favorite things about the ship? I love a good brains/brawn dynamic, and they also play into that trope of being the only one to tolerate each other (Stiles's smartassery/scarcasm, Derek's growly anger and brooding), but beyond the very superficial level tropes, they also have a lot of traits in common, like Derek being surprisingly snarky and clever, and Stiles having that loyal, protective streak a mile wide that you'd usually see in werewolfy types.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship? I'm kind of basic tbqh, I like most of the popular things... I guess one of my unpopular(?) opinions is that for as much as I love kinky fic, I have a hard time seeing Derek as dominant (and as submissive for that matter), so if I'm craving kink I usually get my fix with Stiles in other pairings instead. Domestic slow burn/future fic/non-supernatural AU is what I really really really go for with sterek, I think both of their issues (lol so much trauma between them) translate really well into all sorts of AUs so they're easy to slot into a lot of scenarios and explore deeply.

scott/jackson: Don’t Ship It

Why don’t you ship it? I just don't love either character very much; I go for the clever assholes, and both Scott and Jackson have the dumb jock vibe most of the time, so I don't seek out either of them. :\

What would have made you like it? I do enjoy some enemies to lovers tropes, and I think they could probably be great for exploring overcoming that childish dislike for someone when they get older, like maybe they meet as adults or something and they're like "wow, things are so different now", something like that.

Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it? Most of my complaints about them are to do with the show canon, and Jackson especially I think could have been really interesting if they just... did more with him, or if the show was coherent and consistent about characterization in general lol, so really, fandom's where it's at, because I think there are a ton of ways to explore them well. I tend to like Jackson so much more in fic than in canon even as a side character, so thanks to the people who like him and write him well.

ask game

Artists self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five arts/sets/edits/gifs that you've done, then pass on to at least five other people. Time to shine and spread some self-love and appreciation 💖

- this Morgana set is probably the coolest and most competent-looking-giffer thing that i have ever made and i'm still obsessed with it

- i had a lot of fun and am really satisfied with this Derek set, much experimenting was done (and also the feels)

- i love this Kira/Scott/Stiles set both for the aesthetic and colors of it, which i love, and for the thoughts that i dumped in the tags alfkgakdgh

- this Stiles/Void gif took SO MUCH WORK to make happen, it deserves a spot for that alone, but also i still get chills every time i look at it

- why does everybody love hurting Derek so much, Derek gets another set but Sterek-flavored this time, and i'm very happy about the blending in this one

(and now we get some honorable mentions tacked onto the end cuz i was looking through my "favorites of mine" tag like 👀😂: i love the colors in these Hale aesthetics, these Stiles/Derek edits are technically an AU for a very obscure mobile game story but i just also love how it looks and it's still my computer background, this Laura & Derek manip just makes me happy to look at, and idk what it is about this Jackson & Laura kanima aesthetic but it's so goooood XD)

what are you weakest for in fic for the following pairings:

stucky

sterek

firefighters whose names i'm not 100% i know

newtmas

oh this is such a good ask <3

stucky - i'm very weak for fics where bucky's trauma is treated seriously, where steve works hard to help him, and where there's an undeniable connection between the two that is less 'omg its you you're back everything's perfect' and more 'there is no universe, no situation, no life where i don't love you'.

sterek - um. bottom!derek is literally the first thing that came to mind. hah. i'm weak for a lot of things in sterek fic but i do really love fics where derek gets to be soft, and lets stiles take care of him. and rail him a lot.

also fics where derek is very wolfy... i love all the werewolfy kink shit and stiles being very much a monsterfucker.

my firefighters are buck and eddie 😂😘 their ship name is buddie which is hilarious. i am very weak for domestic fics where the two of them are soft and sweet and coparenting eddie's son chris. their little family of three is what originally intrigued me about the show. but i also LOVE fics where eddie is in his queer awakening era and discovers how much he loves dick. let eddie be a slut, a little bit. baby deserves it.

OH GOD i also love love love a d/s dynamic with these two (bc honestly... it just works so well for them i'm sweating just thinking about it) and am extremely and eternally weak for possessive!eddie.

my fave newtmas fic of all time is an AU, but i'd say for canon fics it's definitely glade sluttiness. like maybe i'm scared and overwhelmed and i don't know wtf is going on but who cares because i found this beautiful boy and for a minute i can lose myself in that.

common thread in all of these is that i'm very drawn to traumatized characters and i will always love reading about them healing, being seen, getting what they need, and getting to be happy. and having fabulous sex, obviously.

ask me weird and/or spicy shit to keep me motivated 😘
