Derek climbed into Stiles’ window. He froze because everything felt wrong. Stiles wasn’t sitting at his computer flipping through a million tabs. Or doing homework. Or playing videogames. No, he was lying in bed. Doing nothing. Still. Derek had never seen Stiles be so still. So used to Stiles’ frenetic energy. All flailing limbs and enthusiasm. Not to mention the smell in the room. It was heavy. None of the brightness Derek was used to....
The alpha pack is dangerous. No one knows what they want but they’ve been making their presence known. Especially to Stiles. He can barely step outside his door without one of them lurking or stalking him. It’s incredibly annoying. Also scary. But mostly annoying at this point. Eventually he learns the reason: he’s a human who is essentially at the periphery of the pack. He smells enough like them to draw attention but not enough to seem claimed....
The night of the winter formal is chaotic. A lot of stuff goes down. Lydia is attacked by Peter Hale. Derek is rescued from being tortured by Kate Argent. Who is subsequently killed by Peter. Who is then killed by Scott, proving an old myth true by becoming human again. Just like he wanted. Amidst all of this, Peter Hale asks Stiles Stilinski if he wants the bite in a parking garage....
People always ask if it’s hard dating Derek. Stiles gets it. He does. Derek is a broken man. His life too filled with loss and pain for him to be anything else. Stiles can’t even pretend that the love a good man will heal him. (He’s the good man, btw.) He can’t even pretend that time or whatever trite platitude will heal Derek. Stiles saw how the loss of his pack broke Peter....

Those hot summer days where you don’t feel like doing anything but lazing in front of a fan always remind Stiles of his mom. She’d put on “Fade Into You” by Mazzy Star. Saying that the slow, languorous beat of the song, the lazy vocals, just said ’lazy summer day’. So they’d sit and listen to the entire album. Not doing much. Just being together. On the whole, Stiles wasn’t good at being still and quiet....
“Look, Scott, the whole soul mate thing is total bullshit. Destiny or whatever puts some random mark on you and some other people and, bam, that’s the person you should spend your life with? Hard pass. What about free will, man?” Stiles is ranting and flailing so he doesn’t notice the dude he bumps into. Not until he feels is soul mark flare and he realizes that, shit, he just found his soul mate during a rant about how soul mates are bullshit....
Stiles grabbed onto college as a way to get out of the supernatural. He loved Scott and the pack. He did. He didn’t love the constant danger. When it all had started, it seemed like an adventure. Sort of. It obviously had gotten real very quickly. He’d thrown himself into it because he needed to be there for Scott. Because it was the right thing to do. He’d spent his last years of high school fighting....
It’s only been a few weeks since the nogitsune was given its eviction notice when Stiles shows up at Derek’s door clutching his pillow. Stiles knocks. It’s the first time he’s ever knocked when he knew Derek was home. To Derek, this is, perhaps, one of the biggest signs of how deeply the possession has impacted Stiles. In the past, Stiles never once hesitated to barge in, regardless of how Derek felt about it....
“Get out.” Stiles didn’t know what to make of Derek’s tone. He’d normally take an opening like that as an invitation to banter but… there was something flat and cold about Derek’s tone. For the first time in a really long time, Stiles felt a touch of fear. “Hey… sourwo–” “Got out. Now.” Derek growled, his red alpha eyes almost like lasers. Stiles felt his heart start to race because he was pretty sure he’d never been more afraid of Derek than he was in this moment....
