#the cat is Scott as a cat lol and he's pulling lots of expressions that I cannot convey in human art this sucks

[tubbytarchia]

feeling so self detested again because I drew a cat and now want to cry at how fast and comfortably and expressive I can draw animals versus human characters whom I really want to draw for traffic content but god fucking damn it it takes me 5 hours to draw one human sketch at best. I could whip out at least 5 dragons in that time this sucks. I just want to be good at this, I just want to be able to draw at anywhere near a decent pace that doesn't make me feel like I'm wasting all my free time achieving nothing

Virgil - FabFiveFeb

Finally! I got it done! 😄😅 The relief! The relief! @gumnut-logic I really hope you enjoy this fic lol...

Prompts used were ‘hard’ ‘I’m trying!’ Happy reading :D now I just need to work on Scott's fic now 😅

————

When Alan had first asked him if he could teach him how to play the piano, he had honestly thought the kid was pulling his leg. There was surely no way Alan had actually wanted to learn? Because no offence to Alan, but the kid wasn’t really the musical type….

But he guessed he was wrong...Alan had been completely serious about wanting to learn, so of course, he would teach the kid to play, he thought with a smile as he sat next to Alan on the little piano bench, watching as Alan’s fingers hesitantly ran across the keys.

He honestly felt honoured that he could pass on the tradition of the piano to his little brother like his mother did for him. He had no clue why Alan wanted to learn but he didn’t mind not knowing, he was just happy that someone else in his family was taking an interest in something he loved...

Alan was trying really hard to get the notes right, eyebrows furrowed in concentration but unfortunately for Alan, music didn’t seem to come as easy for him as it did himself…

A high pitch, dying cat-like sound erupted from his piano, making anyone that heard it jump... or fall out of their chair, he thought as he looked at Scott sheepishly, trying not to laugh. Scott had been so deep in the paperwork that the sudden noise had made him jump in fright, nearly jumping clear off his desk chair and onto the hardwood floor below...

Scott looked at them with wide eyes, looking like a startled bird that had its feathers all fluffed up. “A little warning next time please...” Scott said, his hand over his heart as he caught his breath. “I thought someone was dying there for a second…” Scott chuckled as he turned back to his work.

“Sorry, Scotty…” Alan said softly, glaring at the piano keys in frustration. “This is really hard...you make it look so easy Virgil...”

He smiled softly, “That’s just practice kiddo, you just need to keep trying...” he said softly as he moved Alan’s hands back to the start. “You’ll get there, come on, let give this another try, why don’t we?”

Alan sighed with a pout, looking like he wanted to throw in the towel but Alan was a Tracy and they were a stubborn lot. “Okay..” Alan mumbled softly as he started playing again, trying his damn hardest.

He’ll admit he was pretty proud of the kid for his dedication, learning an instrument wasn’t easy. He remembers when his mother was teaching him to play, he had wanted to give up because it just wasn’t working, he just wasn’t getting it like she did…

But his mother was patient with him, encouraging and helping him build his confidence that yes, he could play the piano... He just needed someone to believe in him...

A loud off-key note and the following cry snapped him out of his memories and back into the present where he had a frustrated, upset little brother “this is hopeless, I’m no good at this!”

He was alarmed to see tears gathering in Alan’s baby blue eyes.

“Hey, that’s not true...You’re trying your hardest and that is awesome…” he said softly as he pulled his little brother against him, all while signalling to Scott, who had shot up like a bullet at Alan’s yell, that he had this under control.

Scott nodded, sitting back down but still on high alert, ready to jump in at a moment's notice. Like a Mumma bear wanting to protect her cubs but in Scott’s case he guessed it would be papa bear instead...

Alan sniffled, rubbing his eye with his fist. “But that’s not good enough, I’m never going to get it…” A tear slipped out, sliding down Alan’s cheek...

He sighed softly, pulling his upset little brother closer, “Don’t say that...of course you will…” he comforted softly as he rubbed Alan’s forearm, “you just need some practice, that’s all…”

“I don’t know Virgie...” Alan sniffled, looking down at the keys with a look he couldn’t quite place, it was a mix between anger, frustration and...and longing? “We have been at this for hours and I can barely get the first verse right..”

More tears gathered in Alan’s eyes, the kid furiously wiping them away before they could fall. He was honestly getting very concerned now, why was Alan getting so upset over this?

He looked over at Scott and saw his own concern mirrored back at him. Something else was going on here and they needed to get to the bottom of it...

He sighed softly, his hand gently rubbing Alan’s arm, “and that’s perfectly normal kiddo, you’re not going to get it in just one day Allie…” he smiled softly at Alan with a little chuckle, “But you’re right, we have been doing this for a while, i think it’s time we called it a day, don’t you think?”

Alan nodded, his head hanging low “Yeah..”

He sighed, looking at Scott, a silent conversation passing between them. “Come on, Why don’t we go sit down on the couch, and you can tell us what brought on this sudden interest in playing the piano, okay kiddo?” He gently guided Alan up from the piano seat, arm wrapped around Alan’s slender shoulders “Scotty can go get us something nice to drink, can’t you Scott?”

Scott nodded as he stood up from his chair, “Hot chocolate for you, kiddo?” Scott asked softly, his eyes filled with concern and worry.

Alan nodded with a sniffled, “With marshmallows?” Alan mumbled softly, looking down at the floor, his ears slightly red as he rubbed at his eyes, a little muffled sob escaping him.

“Of course, kiddo..” Scott smiled gently at Alan, his eyes filled with tender worry. Scott looked at him. “What about you, Virg? Hot Chocolate or coffee?”

“Surprise me…” he said softly as he gently led Alan over to the sunken lounge. Scott nodded, making his way to the kitchen. “Just not tea!”

Alan leaned into his side with a sniffled, trying in vain to stop the flood of emotions that wanted to pour out of him. Everything had been turned on its head, why was his little brother so upset? And what did it have to do with playing the piano?

“Now come on, what brought on this sudden interest in playing the piano, hmmm?” He stroked Alan’s hair gently, Alan’s head resting on his shoulder. “I didn’t realise you were interested in learning it..”

“I just thought I should...know how to play it, that’s all..” Alan muttered softly looking at his shoes, avoiding his eyes. Alan sniffled, “You know... with it being a family tradition and all...”

Alan wasn’t being completely truthful with him, he could tell, he thought as his eyes narrowed. What was going on? Family tradition? Was this something to do with mum?

Scott chose that moment to come back with the drinks, balancing them on a tray.

“Who ordered drinks?” Scott smiled as he put the tray down on the coffee table before taking his place on the other side of Alan. “Here you go kiddo, careful it's hot.,” Scott said as he handed Alan a mug of hot chocolate, little marshmallows floating in it.

Alan took a tiny sip, cradling the mug in his hands, his face slightly red from crying.

“Now what’s going on, sweetheart?” Scott asked softly, running his hand gently through Alan’s soft blond hair. “What's gotten you so upset?” Scott tilted his head slightly, a tender, gentle look on his face “I didn’t think Virgil was that bad of a teacher?” Scott smiled softly at Alan.

“Hey…” he said halfheartedly, rolling his eyes as he reached for his coffee mug. ”I’m a pretty good teacher, thank you very much…” he grinned at Scott, taking a sip from his mug. Chocolate mocha? Hmmm not bad...

Scott smiled teasingly at him before looking down at Alan, his expression getting more serious. “But seriously, what’s wrong Allie?”

“It’s stupid…” Alan mumbled softly, pulling his knees up to his chest. Alan’s eyes were swimming in tears now, a fragile dam trying to hold back a powerful flood. “I shouldn’t even be getting…” Alan bit his lip hard, muffling a sob, “g-getting so worked up over it…”

“If it’s making you upset kiddo, it isn’t stupid..” Scott spoke softly, running his hand through Alan’s hair. “Come on, please tell us what’s going on…”

Alan bit his lip with a whimper, “I..I found a video of...of Mum playing the piano yesterday and...well...I um..” Alan took a shaky breath, tears starting to run down the kid’s cheeks.

Of course this was all about mum, he thought as his heart broke in two for Alan. How didn’t he see it sooner?

Scott was rubbing Alan’s arm encouragingly, watching Alan with gentle eyes. “go on kiddo” Scott gently wiped away some of Alan’s tears from the kid’s cheeks.

“And...well I thought...well-” Alan choked on a sob, folding in slightly on himself as everything became too much to handle, “T-that maybe I could...that if I learnt p-piano, May-Maybe I would-“

“...Feel closer to mum...” He spoke softly, finishing Alan’s sentence as everything became clear. It was so obvious now, why would Alan want to learn piano? To feel closer to mum. It was so obvious…

“Is that why you wanted to learn the piano?” He asked as he laid his hand gently on Alan’s arm “...To feel closer to mum?”

Alan nodded, “Bu-but I’m horrible at it!” A heartbreaking sob burst out of Alan, the kid scrubbing at his eyes. “And...and it’s not fair! I just want to know her or...or share something special with her, like you have with the piano or Gordon with his swimming!” Alan sobbed loudly.

“Baby…” “Allie…”

Alan was nearly full-body trembling now, “But...but I have nothing! I can’t even...even play a simple song on a piano!” Alan cried loudly, burying his face in his hands as he brought his knees closer to his chest. “I’m hopeless!”

“Oh sweetheart, come here...” Scott pulled Alan onto his lap, his hand cradling the back of Alan’s head as the kid cried, “you’re not hopeless, come on now...shhh, it’s alright, it’s alright...” Scott whispered softly, his shirt getting stained with Alan’s tears. “Oh sweetheart…”

The pain of losing their mother never went away, only dulling in intensity. But for Alan, who was born on the day that their mother died, that pain was different but equally as painful, maybe more so…

Especially around this time of year as March 12 got closer and closer. The day was a bittersweet event, on one hand it was Allie’s birthday and that was cause for celebration but on the other hand...it was also the day their mother died..

At least they had the chance to know the wonderful woman that was their mother but Alan? The kid had nothing but stories, he thought as he shared a pained look with Scott. Mum was only alive for a second of Alan’s life, did she even get to see him before she passed?

Scott knew the answer to that but honestly? He didn’t want to know. He wants to live in the denial that his little brother and mother got one moment together before life tore them apart…

“You know, when mum first started teaching me to play, I was horrible at it…” he spoke softly as he rubbed Alan’s back. “And I remember thinking that I would never be as good as her…”

He also remembers her voice, encouraging him to keep trying, ‘you’ll get there darling, trust me..’ her hands on his little ones, helping him learn and have fun while he was doing it. She was a great teacher..

Alan lifted his head slightly from Scott’s chest, his eyes bloodshot “You did?” Alan sniffled as Scott stroked his back gently.

He nodded with a small smile. “I was horrible at it and I wanted to give up but mum knew better, she helped me, believed in me and I got better at it but it took time kiddo..” he caressed Alan’s cheek, letting his thumb stroke Alan’s cheek gently, “Just like it’s going to take you time…”

“I...I wish I could have known her..” Alan sniffled as more tears slipped down his cheeks. “It’s not fair...”

Scott’s arms tightened around Alan, a painful expression on his face. This topic wasn’t easy for Scott, who had been trapped with mum on that day...

At only twelve years old, he had to deliver his baby brother and watch his mother die. Scott had needed serious therapy, they all did but Scott was the one that stayed in therapy the longest. He doesn’t blame him…

Scott would always blame himself slightly for mum’s death, wishing he could have saved her somehow. No wonder Scott was so protective of Alan...

“I know it’s not fair...but you know what?” He smiled at Alan, “you don’t have to be good at playing the piano to feel close with mum kiddo, you already share something very special with her…”

“I do?”

He nodded with a little smile, “The thing you share with mum kiddo, isn’t something physical like playing the piano...” he smiled softly at Alan, “it’s something else, it’s something really special…”

Alan was looking pretty confused now.

“It’s your smile, your laugh, the way your eyes light up when you’re happy..” He explained with a smile. “Your determination and love for people around you...that’s all mum kiddo..”

“Virgil’s right, You are so much like her kiddo..” Scott added gently, “we know that will never make up for her not being here but she loved you so much Alan..” Scott’s eyes were getting clouded with emotions. “even before you were half-formed in her belly, she loved you..”

“I remember she used to hum a special little lullaby to you, I could teach you how to play it on the piano if you want kiddo?” He asked softly, “or I could play it for you if you want…”

Alan sniffled, a thoughtful look on his face. “Can you?”

He nodded with a small smile, “Of course I can, you want me to play it for you now?” He asked as he moved to get up, mug in hand.

Alan nodded meekly as he got up, following him to the piano, Scott following close behind. Scott wrapped his arms around Alan’s shoulders, watching him as he played the little song...

Alan’s eyes widened in recognition, “that’s my lullaby, that the song you used to sing to me when I was little..” Alan said looking up at Scott, his eyes wide with childlike innocence.

“That it is…” Scott smiled, placing a kiss on Alan’s forehead. “See? mum has always been here with you in some form Allie..”

A little smile was starting to form on Alan’s face, the kid leaning into Scott’s embrace, listening to the music he was playing. He couldn’t help but grin at the sight.

“Can you...can you teach me how to play that Virgie?” Alan asked once he was finished, looking slightly unsure but willing to give it a try.

“Of course, come here…” He smiled, patting the spot next to him. Alan sat down next to him, “We can play it together, okay?” He laid his hands over Alan’s much smaller hands, guiding the kid though the notes.

Scott watched them with a smile, leaning against the piano as music filled with so much love flooded the room…

[stetervault]

hey cywscross! any longfics (like at least 30k+ long) you can recommend? old or new is fine but like something multichaptered (and preferably complete) would be great! thanks!

Wow, 30k, you’re obviously settling in for a fic marathon lol. I can name you some, mostly Steter with a few Stetopher/Steterek:

Under the Songbird’s Wing by mia6363

Captivity easily destroys the will of escape. It can break the fiercest of animal. It can strip the most regal man and woman down to nothing but animal needs.

Captivity can, if met with unwavering determination, shape a person into something unimaginable.

Stiles is sixteen when he’s captured. Stiles’s first thought is, “I won’t die here.”

love me lights out by veterization

Stiles and Peter get snowed in together. (Or: what happens when you accept phone calls from people you haven’t spoken to in over five years.)

come find me by Areiton

“You want me,” he says, stubbornly sure and you consider him.

“Yes,” you agree, because you are not a good man, and you are not accustomed to denying yourself what you want. “And it doesn’t matter because I am saying no.”

You touch his hand, and he jerks, wide eyed as you lean into him, and breath into his ear. “If you still feel this way, come find me in ten years.”

Til Death by Bunnywest

“How long do we have to find him someone?” Stiles asks.“Two weeks,” says Derek, eyebrows pulling down even further. The fierceness of his expression tells Stiles just how concerned he is.“He marries, or he goes to the camps. And you know what your father told us,” Scott reminds her.The camps……aren’t camps.Peter either finds a wife, or he dies.

Rabbit verse by Bunnywest (series, complete)

Peter loves to hunt. Stiles is his (too willing )prey.

as you are by veterization

Stiles runs straight into a tree and suddenly, things are… different. Namely, he’s in a world where Peter Hale is his boyfriend.

Uncle Peter Doesn’t Date by Mellow (SweetCandy) (wip series, but each part so far is complete)

“Oh don’t lie, you love it.” Peter purred and winked at his newest arm candy, who spluttered for a few seconds, before blushing like a 16 year old virgin. Considering how young he looked Laura wouldn’t be surprised if he was actually 16.“Shut up Peter!” Bambi squeaked, still flushing and averting Laura’s eyes. “Well, anyways, I’m,”‘Bambi’.“Stiles. Stiles Stilinski, pleasure to meet you- again.” Stiles smiled sheepishly, obviously nervous.Stiles Stilinski. Definitely a stripper then.

-

Or: Laura was prepared for whatever piece of armcandy her uncle had decided to show up with, what she hadn’t been prepared for was Stiles Stilinski…her uncle’s boyfriend.

Rewriting the future by Synesthetic

Two days before their planned bonding, alpha Derek Hale runs away with his secret beta girlfriend, leaving Stiles heartbroken. With the demands of his omega physiology forcing him to bond with someone before his first heat, Derek’s uncle Peter steps in and offers a solution.

To Save Them All by Goldenpetal13

AU, FutureFic/Re do of Season 1, Something happens, something bad, and Stiles finds a way to go back in time to change the past and save them all, to give them a future.

Now he has to change the events that where set in motion after that event and maybe, just maybe they’ll all get to live.

Empathy, Empathy, Put Yourself in the Place of Me by twothumbsandnostakeincanon (series, complete)

Peter was suspicious.

Just generally, as a person. He always assumed his fellow man had impure motives until they proved otherwise, and then he still kept an eye out.

But at this particular moment, he was specifically suspicious of Derek’s new girlfriend.

He’s not the only one.

Bone Deep by ShippersList (28k+ but complete)

A body in the woods, a mate, and a long-awaited revenge.

Peter had no idea how his life would change when he followed the strange pull in his chest.

Get Off (Me) by KouriArashi

Stiles hates being left behind with Peter while the pack is fighting monsters, because he never knows exactly what Peter will get up to.

Love What is Behind You by KouriArashi

Basically what it says on the label. Hunger Games type fusion. Stiles doing way better than anyone anticipates. Peter finds him intriguing. Ruthless, devious assholes working together to ruin bad guys, as the Steter ship is meant to be.

Whatever Works by KouriArashi (Steter + Sterek)

The problem with having your soulmate’s first words to you tattooed on your arm is knowing your whole life that you’re fated to be with a jerk. It’s enough to make Stiles want to date other people … which is how he winds up dating his soulmate’s nephew.

Call My Name by KouriArashi

After moving to Beacon Hills, Stiles starts having recurring dreams of a man in some kind of prison, who needs his help. Things get so bad that he ends up in Eichen House, where he finds out that the man is real.

Sympathy for the Devil by KouriArashi

Stiles gets a job as a hospital orderly and finds himself becoming strangely attached to the catatonic man on the long-term care ward, and finds out that there’s a lot more to Peter Hale than there seems…

Devil of Mercy by KouriArashi

Peter’s heard people talk about what it felt like when they saw their mate for the first time, from those who actually believe in the mystical bullshit. Like a magnet, like gravity. Peter just feels… sharply curious.

Begging Me To Open Up My Mouth by Green

In a world where the supernatural is known, Peter still has to stick out. He can’t just be a werewolf, he has to be a sub, too. He can handle the stupidity from his classmates, he doesn’t even care about that, but Talia not understanding what he needs because werewolf subs are so rare?

Yeah. That he could do without.

***

Stiles is a Spark, freelance Emissary, and a Dom, in that order. He likes it that way. The freedom of it, the ability to travel and learn. He’s not ready to settle down.

But he maybe considers lingering when someone catches his eye.

Of Werewolves and Tentacles by Guede (Steterek)

Stiles Stilinski and Scott McCall, childhood best friends who were separated, now reunite to get to know each other again. Since Scott’s a werewolf and Stiles is a new graduate of Miskatonic University (which is proving strangely attractive to Peter-Hale-shaped werewolves), they’ve got quite a bit to catch up on.

Bittersweet Creek by Guede

When Stiles finally steps off the westward trail to California, he’s the last of his pack. He starts building a den, but then he finds a dying man next to a burnt-down house and it turns out he’s not really much of a settler, after all.

Cats and Dogs by Guede

Stiles is a were-cat. He likes to lie around in the sun, insists on poking into everything, viciously defends his territory and is always judging you. His best friend is Scott, a werewolf, he’s dating Peter, another werewolf, and he enjoys terrorizing Peter’s nephew Derek.

Oh, and John and Chris are were-cats too. Basically, everybody’s some kind of were and I make a lot of cheap jokes about cat and dog stereotypes.

The Time Travel Grammar Book by Guede

The story that was supposed to be about time-travel, but is really a stealth AU of the first two seasons where Talia’s a struggling single mom, Peter’s the eponymous teen wolf, and Stiles, Scott and Lydia…are time travelers (so that part’s not totally inaccurate).

Open Wounds by Guede

Talia got out of the fire with Peter, but everyone else died. Years later, they’re still struggling with injuries, but they’ve at least settled in with oddball werewolf Stiles. And then other werewolves start showing up. Familiar ones.

Movement in Alpha Major by Guede

Peter Hale, thirty-four, shady but successful human lawyer, knocks on his nephew Derek’s door one night because he’s just been bitten by a werewolf. Somehow, this ends up being a lot more awkward than one would expect.

The Sphinx of Beacon Hills by Guede (Stetopher)

Stiles is a sphinx, and he’s winging his way to visit his buddy Scott when a storm drops him in Beacon Hills, the craziest, crankiest, coldest place ever. And somehow, he ends up with a bunch of werewolves.

Note: Bestiality warning is because the version of sphinx here is lion-shaped from waist down, and I don’t know how else to tag that.

Werewolf How-To by Guede (Steterek)

Being a sex mage with a magical knotting cock (and a profitable land revitalization business, thank you) doesn’t mean that Stiles needs to hook up with werewolves. It just kind of happens that way.

Intemperance by Guede (Stetopherek)

Stiles is the one who gets pulled back to Beacon Hills by a murder.

Sustainable Management by Guede (Steterek)

An alternate universe where werewolves and other supernatural creatures aren’t just integrated, but are so deeply embedded that they’re considered part of the natural ecosystem.

In other words, Stiles and his father work for a U.S. Forest Service that’s way different from the one here, if only because it involves many more secret-agent hijinks.

Strays by DiscontentedWinter (Stetopher)

In a Beacon Hills that’s been destroyed by a war between humans and werewolves, Stiles Stilinski does what he has to in order to survive.

Sanctuary by DiscontentedWinter

The Hale Wolf Sanctuary isn’t just for wolves.

It turns out it’s for Stilinskis as well.

Infinite Space by DiscontentedWinter

Stiles needs Peter’s expertise to help stop the latest threat to Beacon Hills.And, as the pack falls apart around him, he might even need Peter for more than that.

Save Me by DiscontentedWinter

Peter is the Alpha.He’s nobody’s savior.Not his pack’s. Not his town’s. And not that kid’s.But sometimes salvation goes both ways.

You Had Me at Canapes by LadyArinn

Stiles doesn’t mean to sneak into the Hale wedding, and he certainly doesn’t mean to have cliche coat-room sex with the bride’s uncle, but what had happened, happened, and it wasn’t like he could just leave. At least, not until he got to have some of that cake.

Naughty Hookers (Swathed in Wool) by pprfaith (wip series, but main parts are complete)

Stiles is happy with his store, his hobbies, his friends. Peter’s just trying to figure out how to raise his nieces and nephew without fucking them up too badly.

Paths cross.

Sing to Me, Oh so Sweetly by lavenderlotion

“Can I get a story, Mama?” Stiles asked.

“What type of story do you want to hear, darling?” his mama asked, sitting on the edge of his bed and playing with Stiles’ hair. He liked it when she did that.

“I wanna hear about the magic woman!” Stiles demanded, doing his best to keep still.

“You always wanna hear about the magic woman,” Mama told him. “Well, alright. Do you want me to start from the beginning?”

“Well, duh,” Stiles said, rolling his eyes. The beginning was always the best part.

“Once upon a time, there was a young girl with skin as white as the moon and eyes as bright as the sun.”

Breathing You In by lavenderlotion (29k+, 1 chapter, but complete)

“Good morning, kiddo,” his dad said, and the words hurt.

All Stiles wanted to do was step forward and let his dad hug him, allow his father to give him comfort. His father’s hugs had always been all-encompassing, the way he would fold himself around Stiles and hold him as tightly as he could.

Stiles stepped around him, careful not to let foreign skin touch anything that was special to him.

Anything he loved.

Just Don’t Leave Me by lavenderlotion

Stiles had no idea it could happen. Really, he hadn’t. But it did and he had to deal with the fallout, alone. And, and after everything with Scott, and Derek, that was a daunting task. At least, he had his dad, god was he thankful he had his dad, but - but he couldn’t say he didn’t wish he had Peter, too.

Proposing To Strangers by moonstalker24

At the end of a strained relationship, crime novelist Stiles chooses to hide from the world inside a bar with far too many motorcycles outside it for comfort. Here he’ll meet the man of his dreams, eat food and propose marriage, all within the first five minutes.

Peter doesn’t know who this kid is, but he’s cute and looks like he could use a break. So he feeds him. He’s not expecting a marriage proposal, but with what comes after, he doesn’t really mind.

Worn Out Shoes by moonstalker24

When the dead rise, and the world comes to an end, the McCall Pack must learn to live in this new world, or die in the attempt. This is the story of the end, and of the year that follows.

The Choice by moonstalker24

“You will be changed, Goscislaw Genim Stilinski. From your bones you will be changed.”“How.”“That we cannot tell you… That is the price.”

He’s made the deal, now he only has fifteen minutes to make a choice and either save or condemn them all. Fifteen minutes and then Stiles will have to live with the consequences.

Every step of the way by Pirotess666

Hurt, pain, suffering. TORTURE. Peter felt it all while he was in Eichen House.And after he got out? All those memories of what happened there were threatening to drive him insane.The only thing that helped? Being with Stiles.And Stiles just couldn’t stop himself from helping Peter.

Bite Down by EclipseWing (27k+ but complete)

In which Stiles is forced to survive the zombie apocalypse with a sociopathic murdering werewolf for company.

Surviving Peter and the Zombie Apocalypse by Nopennamesleft

Its the end of the world and Stiles has run out of luck. He saves a werewolf from certain death. Will they begin to rely on each other to survive or will the wolf just eat Stiles for a midnight snack?

Do You Like to Hurt? (Then Hurt Me) by taylorpotato

Stiles shows up at Peter’s apartment, drunk and horny. Peter almost does the right thing—before it all deteriorates into a voyeuristic power game and Stiles has a mind-shattering orgasm. Things snowball from there. Takes place after Season Three (with consequent canon divergence).

Out Of The East, Never See The Sun Rise by neglectedtuesday (24k+ but complete)

In the beginning, there are three absolutes.

One. Stiles is a god, forged of starlight and collapsing galaxies and he is eternal.

Two. Peter is human, fragile bone and viscous blood and he is temporary.

Three. Stiles and Peter are in love; love that claws its way inside one’s heart like fish hooks; all encompassing love that is beautiful but dangerous.

Stiles is a god. Peter is human. They love each other.

Three absolutes.

The World That Is Not Ours by Ragga (wip series but first three parts are done)

About a boy and his monster, or a monster and his boy.

Movie Commentary Monday: Episode 1

Hello everyone and welcome to the very first episode of Movie Commentary Monday (or as i call MCM, which sounds ridiculous by the way) where I express my thoughts on a movie while desperately trying to be funny (and usually fail).

There will be dozens of side comments in brackets because I talk too much, sorry in advance.

This week’s movie is:

Isn’t It Romantic (2019)

Directed by: Todd Strauss-Schulson

Writing Credits: Erin Cardillo (screenplay&story), Dana Fox (screenplay) & Katie Silberman (screenplay)

Stars: Rebel Wilson, Liam Hemsworth, Adam Devine, Priyanka Chopra, Betty Gilpin, Brandon Scott Jones

Summary: A young woman disenchanted with love mysteriously finds herself trapped inside a romantic comedy.

(thanks IMDb)

Now, buckle up folks, it’s gonna be a loooooong ride. Let’s get down to business!

(this isn’t a Mulan reference)

Why is the Mom so bitter about happy endings? I bet she has seen things...

They don’t make movies for girls like us. 

THIS!!! LINE!!! IS!!! SO!!! IMPORTANT!!! 

That single sentence just basically summarized the entire history of Hollywood and you can’t argue with me on this. The evidence is there (sorry i’m bitter like mom) (i’m full of rage like younger john mulaney)

Natalie’s (Rebel Wilson) apartment is a mess and is so tiny, it’s like screaming YOUR FUTURE HOUSE at me, it’s unbelievable

Fucking finally, a realistic view of New York; smelly, crowded, and filth everywhere (not that i could ever know, i don’t live there but i’ve seen metropolitans before)

“STOP THE CART WITH YOUR BODY” WTFFF I’M CRYING THAT’S SO RUDE

Ok, Natalie’s a nobody at the workplace, even though she’s a fricking architect. UNREALISTIC TO ME

That co-worker and office manager can choke, that’s all I’m gonna say

Ohmygod, Whitney (Betty Gilpin) is so cute, I’ve seen her 10 secs in and I already love her (lovey dovey characters are always my faves)

JOSH (Adam Devine) IS AMAZING, ADORABLE DORK, PROTECT HIM AT ALL COSTS

LIAM HEMSWORTH’S AMERICAN ACCENT GOT ME SH00K!!! He just said “Goddamn it” and I am already hooked

Who puts whipped cream in a coffee? ME, BITCH

I PUT WHIPPED CREAM IN MY COFFEE BECAUSE BLACK COFFEE TASTES LIKE SHIT, SORRY THAT I’M NOT TOUGH AS YOU

Natalie says nice guy with a nice life and it... kinda bothers me. It’s a reaaaally generic expression and a bit insulting if you think about it bc if you don’t fit that person’s standards of being nice with having a nice life, it discourages you (in this case, you=man). So when Josh said “I’m a nice guy with a nice life” I thought ‘Of course you are’ bc he is in my standards. What I’m trying to say is that rom-coms have stereotypes on not only women but also men. Yes, it is sad.

Awwww Josh has a crush on Natalie *wipes happy tears* but she thinks he’s looking at the model billboard LMAO SAME, NAT

I’m so done (but it’s also so relatable, bc i’m like Nat but with less cynicism)

WHITNEY’S DESKTOP OMG

PAWSITIVE VIBES???? I WANNA MARRY HER SO WE CAN WATCH ROM-COMS WITH CATS ON OUR LAPS ALL DAY TOGETHER

Natalie was on the subway and a stranger waved at her. Then he tried to mug her. Then she knocked herself over. My mom always says don’t talk to strangers and I see why. I’m 22, if you’re wondering *clears throat* Moving on...

OH MY GOD SHE WOKE UP WITH THE MAKE-UP ON AND A NICELY DONE HAIR WITH FLOWERS AND STRAWBERRY DRINK ON THE SIDE, I CAN’T-

Oh, hello Mr. Morningstar... *wiggles eyebrows* (quick note, i don’t actually watch Lucifer but i really like Tom Ellis)

She just ripped her IV and blood didn’t spill everywhere, yeah this is a rom-com alright 

She’s dressed from lost and found and she looks like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman-

NO WAIT, THE ENTIRE SETTING HAS CHANGED

HOLY SHIT ‘A THOUSAND MILES’ BY VANESSA CARLTON IS STARTED TO BE PLAYED BY A RANDOM GUY ON A BIKE AND HE PLAYS IT FROM THE STEREO ON HIS BIKE I’M CACKLING

ENTER LIAM, HE LOOKS SO GOOD I CAN’T EVEN DESCRIBE (i’m a thirsty hoe, your suspicions are correct)

What the fuck does beguiling mean? *checks dictionary* oh, okay *is weirded out now*

HE’S AUSSIE NOW, THEY’VE DONE IT, HE’S KEEPING THE ACCENT, AND I’M HAPPY AGAIN

...Birds form a heart while flying... Uhhh... Strawberries and champagne in the limo... Rich as fuck, my poor ass can’t relate

NATALIE’S STREET HAS CHANGED, TOO

He’s giving her flowers already? Ok- NO WAIT

HE JUST WROTE HIS NUMBER ON MULTIPLE FLOWER PETALS AND HANDED TO HER, IS HE FOR REAL LMAO

“But there’s only one of you, so...” Well, this doesn’t change the fact that there are millions of ways to order the numbers, you dumbass (why is he like this)

Her apartment... Every Millenials’ dream

And... A gay neighbor/best friend who acts like an over-feminine gay (which is also a stereotype)

So, I’ll count every rom-com trope I’ve seen in 22 mins *counts her fingers* So far, I have seven tropes

The Big Presentation (eight)

Unconventional workplace which looks like a Google office (nine)

Nat is the star architect now (ten)

Rival bitchy colleague (eleven) (WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE WHITNEY, THOUGH) (SHE’S MY SENSITIVE WIFE) (oh, she looks hot)

They gave like, four other tropes in two mins and it doesn’t feel like rushed at all *salutes respectively*

The setting change is so... Like, you cannot miss it, it’s sweet and makes you feel all giddy inside, it’s so lovely, so rom-com like (does that make sense to you?)

OH PRIYANKA, SHE JUST TURNED AND I’M LIKE “Oh I’m fucked”

“Josssssssh”

Natalie keeps falling (twelve)

“MY LIFE IS A ... ... ROMANTIC COMEDY!” “AND IT’S ... PG-13!″ EVERYONE STARTED DANCING BEHIND HER I’M HOLLERING 

The subway map behind her is shaped in a heart, lovey dovey couples everywhere... And shE’S GONNA JUMP ONTO A TRAIN??? THIS GOT DARK ALL OF A SUDDEN

Officer Hansom *facepalms*

She threw the flower petals and guess what? THE NUMBERS FELL DOWN IN THE CORRECT ORDER, WHO COULD HAVE KNOWN HAHAHA (thirteen)

Y’ello

Y’ELLO

Y’E LL O

IS THIS HOW AUSSIES ANSWER THE PHONE, AUSSIE MUTUALS PLEASE RESPOND

BLAKE (Liam Hemsworth) IS SO ADORABLE I’M ROOTING FOR EVERYONE IN THIS MOVIE 

Dress up montage... Yeah- Oh wait, they cut it out what the hell fvygbuhnj I WANT MY DRESS UP MONTAGE, GIVE IT TO MEEE

This is some fancy first date though... Also leaving 100 bucks tip doesn’t justify breaking in to a store I guess??? Seems like the law has no function in rom-coms lmao (fourteen)

BUTTER PECAN??? HOW OLD ARE YOU, 200 OR SOMETHING??? WHAT THE FUCK, MAN

The rain... You know what’s coming after- Ah, and they kissed *giggles uncontrollably* YES!!! (fifteen)

THEY CAN’T HAVE SEX BC IT’S PG-13 (liam’s abs, though) *bi scream*

Her apartment makes me cry, it’s so beautiful (ok i’ll stop counting from now on bc i cannot keep up anymore)

Also the romantic tension between Natalie and Josh................ I have no words

Isabella (Priyanka Chopra) calls Josh ‘Mush’ and it’s so f-king cringey, I swear to God sxrdctfvygu

STOP OVERSELLING NEW YORK, WE KNOW IT’S NOT THAT GOOD

I can talk about Blake for five hours, he’s so fucking funny lmao

Donny (Brandon Scott Jones) is such a gay sidekick, he comes out of nowhere and talks weirdly but he makes me laugh so I’ll give him a pass

NOW WE’RE GETTING SOMEWHERE, NATALIE’S GONNA STOP ISABELLA&JOSH’S WEDDING

That musical scene is everything, and Natalie hits that high note H AR D

GET IT, GIRL

Blake............ no-

I ROOTED FOR YOU, WE ALL ROOTED FOR YOU, HOW COULD YOU DO THAT-

Oh my, he’s a certified douchebag, I should’ve guessed, I’m so disappointed in myself 

Unexpected wisdom coming from Donny who had no function to the story other than appearing beside Natalie at random times (again, rom-com trope) 

BUT at least he made her realised who matters to her the most

Slow motion running!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Her boobs are like sxrdctfvyg SHAKING AS SHE’S RUNNING ESXRDCTFVYB (as someone who has big breasts, i relate to that so hard) 

“Yoga Ambassador. Yoga. Ambassador.” “Ambassadors are for countries, not for streching.” Dang, Nat!!!

She finally realised she loves herself! Awww, that’s so sweet and empowering and I can’t get enough of this!!!! Yes, to love someone else first you should love yourself!

Oh she crashed the car and went back to reality

Another hot doctor???? Wait, I’m confused- No, false alarm, she’s back and her real doctor is tired, is also swimming through lawsuits LMFAO

She pulled her IV and blood SPILLED EVERYWHERE AS IT SHOULD BE, THANK GOD

I’m glad that she’s happy with what she’s got and she didn’t decide to keep what she’s been doing but instead, tried to take care of herself, it’s such a good message to young girls and I cannot praise this enough

PLOT TWIST, DONNY IS ACTUALLY REALLY GAY AND HAS A BOYFRIEND AND IS ALSO A WEED DEALER OH MY FUCKING GOD I LOVE THE TWIST SO MUCH 

Natalie!!! Is!!! Confident!!! Now!!! I’m literally living for this *throws hearts to the screen*

OH MY WIFE IS BACK, HI WHITNEY I LOVE YOU MY SWEET SUMMER WIFE I MISSED YOU

Nat stormed into that meeting and she’s. on. fireeee

Real Blake is as jerk as ever, no surprise

Using parking lots as metaphors would never cross my mind but ok I guess???

Fuck, he said “What does beguiling mean?” I’M LOST FOR WORDS, THIS MOVIE SXDCTFVYGU

JOSH HAS BEEN LOOKING AT NATALIE FOR THE WHOLE TIME, NOT THE SWIMSUIT MODEL, WHO COULD HAVE THOUGHT???

ps. me and probably everyone else except Nat lol

EVERYONE SINGS

THIS IS NOT A DRILL

I REPEAT, EVERYONE SINGS AND IT’S SO GOOD

LIAM PLAYS THE SAX HOLY SHIT HE’S SO HOT I’M GONNA FAINT

Priyanka with that rose.......... Consider me dead, thank you

“It’s hot as fuck” tcfyvgubh probably true

Overall, I would give this movie 7/10 because of the message. Plot is nicely done and I got see basically every single rom-com tropes. At total, I counted 23 tropes I guess? If I could look every minor detail, I would count more but I won’t get into it that much for now. (i’m running late to a meeting with friends so i have to cut short)

I loved the production design, setting felt like I’m in a classic rom-com movie and characters were written accordingly. Every actor in the movie has fit perfect to me. I especially loved Priyanka and Liam because 1) I’ve never seen any of her movies and 2) It’s been a long time since I watched a Liam Hemsworth movie (i only watched hunger games, so you think about it lmao)

I guess that’s about it! I have a list for the next weeks’ movies but if you have a request then tell me so, I will watch your recommendations first! I appreciate comments; if you have something to add, please do. I will read every single one of them.

See you next week!
