Summary
Stiles accidentally falls in love with Derek. Derek begrudgingly falls in love with Stiles. Derek has trust issues and an aversion to romantic entanglements. Stiles lacks tact and would very much like to avoid a painful, embarrassing, werewolf-related death. Stiles and Derek end up spending the better part of a year in each other's company, pretending to despise every minute of it. In short: Stiles and Derek are awkward, stubborn, angst-ridden, life-ruining idiots who can't seem to work up the nerve to admit that they're in love.
Derek sighs, rolling his eyes and nudging Stiles's cheek with the tip of his nose.
"Stiles, you annoying little shit, I love you. Against my will and better judgment, I do. And I was stupid and wrong and all sorts of fucked up for having pushed you away like that, and I hope you can forgive me, because I'm really, really sorry. Okay?"

Summary
Stiles has an epiphany at a blacklight party.
And that's when Stiles sees him. Derek motherfucking Hale, back home from wherever the hell he'd fucked off to these past few weeks, all dark and brooding with his furrowed eyebrows and his stupid gorgeous face, the taut muscles of his back pressed into a tight line as he surveys the mass of sweaty, half-naked bodies packed wall-to-wall in his living room, bright blue eyes piercing through the blinding darkness and chaotic neon of the blacklight party they definitely, absolutely are not supposed to be having at his loft, lancing straight through Stiles from across the crowded room.
And fuck if that doesn't go straight through Stiles's heart — the sudden, all-encompassing realization of just how much Stiles has missed him these past few weeks hitting him square in the chest. His whole body starts to tremble, a nerve-bending shiver winding its way down his spine as a light sheen of sweat collects in the soft creases of his hands.
Boys? Yeah, he likes boys…and maybe a certain sourwolf.

Summary
It's not like Stiles minds spending his favorite holiday handing out candy to the neighborhood kids. After all, he's got his brand new super hot werewolf boyfriend saddled up right next to him, a massive bowl of bite-sized snickers and peanut butter cups nestled on his other side. By all accounts, it should be the perfect evening. Except that it's really, really not, due to the inexcusable fact that his stupid insufferable sourwolf of a boyfriend has spent the better part of the evening growling at all the trick-or-treaters. Turns out, the two of them have very different ideas of how Halloween should be celebrated.
As Little Red Riding Hood and The Big Bad Wolf scamper off into the night, giggling and shouting, Derek can't help but smile as he watches them go. He reaches down and laces his fingers with Stiles's, stroking gentle, calming circles against the palm of his hand, and delighting in the fact that he has, for once, managed to stun his overly loquacious boyfriend into complete silence.

Summary
And that's when Stiles sees him, standing in the middle of the crowd, swathed in a black leather jacket, eyes alight as he flashes Stiles the most dazzlingly perfect smile. Derek The Music Major. The guy Stiles has had a massive crush on ever since they shared a class together in Stiles's freshman year. The guy who went on to graduate later that spring and leave town to go on tour with his band. The guy who composed such beautiful music that it made Stiles fall even more stupidly in love with him. The guy who wrote the lyrics to the song he's currently up on stage singing motherfucking karaoke to. So yeah, Stiles is pretty sure he's going to kill his best friends for dragging him along to this party.
"This is my friend. He loves your work. Big fan," McCall informs him, gesturing to the mortified guy with the adorably disheveled dark brown hair, wide brown eyes, and a blush as deep as his scarlet jacket.
"Also, he thinks you're cute," McCall adds, a big goofy grin spreading across his face. "And I'm like 98% sure he's thought of you naked."

What To Do When Your Emotionally Constipated Werewolf Boyfriend Gets Cursed By A Witch: A Guide by fairytalesandfolklore
Fandoms: Teen Wolf (TV)
12 Nov 2020
Tags
Summary
Derek gets cursed by a coven of witches with an inability to lie and a compulsion to blurt out whatever he's thinking and feeling at any given moment. The ironic thing is, everything he says is incredibly nice, heartfelt, and affectionate, leaving his packmates wondering: who are you and what have you done with our emotionally constipated surly alpha?
"Hey, maybe true love's kiss will break your curse," Stiles jokes one night when they're all crowded around the dinner table sharing Italian takeaway.
Derek practically shoves his entire fist into his mouth to stop himself from blurting out, maybe you should give it a try.
Luckily, Stiles is too busy screeching about burning his tongue on a scalding mouthful of mozzarella to notice.

Summary
In the aftermath of the nogitsune, Stiles takes up knitting at the suggestion of his therapist, and is surprised to find how much it helps him — and Derek — heal.
"Here's your hat," Stiles says with a half-hearted attempt at nonchalance, opting for playful banter in the hope that it'll ease some of the tension. "I would've finished it sooner, but some asshole snuck in through my window and scared me so bad I dropped half the stitches."
He expects a smirk, a sarcastic quip, a long-suffering sigh followed by a theatrical eye-roll in response. What he doesn't expect is the vulnerable quiver in Derek's lower lip as he fixes Stiles with a stunned expression, eyebrows pulled together in a way that makes Stiles's heart physically clench inside his chest, and says, in the softest voice Stiles has ever heard, "You made this for me?"
The following evening, Derek shows up wearing the hat Stiles made him, a tightly-wound ball of yarn and a set of knitting needles clutched in his hands as he tentatively holds them out to Stiles like a peace offering, and says, "Teach me?"

Hey Dad, Derek Hale Is In My Room. Bring Your Gun. by fairytalesandfolklore

Summary
Being the Sheriff's kid is hard enough. Having a seemingly over-protective father who's more concerned about your bad influence than your ex-murder-suspect werewolf boyfriend is so much worse.
"The point is, I'm an adult," he amends, heaving a weary sigh as he attempts to salvage whatever is left of his dignity. "I can make my own decisions, and I choose Derek. He makes me happy. He's a good guy. He treats me well. He looks out for me, keeps me safe. He's responsible and respectful and a complete gentleman, and I really think that if you just got to know him a little better, you'd really—"
The Sheriff holds up a hand, effectively cutting Stiles off mid-ramble.
"I like Derek just fine," he says, and the smile that spreads across his face is warm and genuine.
"You do?" Stiles falters, completely thrown. "Wait, so then why—"
The Sheriff's fond smile turns to one of wry amusement.
"It's you I don't trust, Stiles," he says around a hearty chuckle. "I've raised you for 18 years, I know exactly what kind of mischief you're capable of. Wouldn't want you dragging that nice, respectable boy into any trouble."

Summary
Stiles and Derek won't stop bicker-flirting as they try to come up with a plan to break into the abandoned bank and rescue Derek's betas from the alpha pack, culminating in a game of cat and mouse (or more accurately: little red and the big bad wolf) when Stiles smacks Derek across the ass with a pair of latex gloves, and Derek chases him out into the hallway and pins him against the wall.
"I don't need you getting hurt," Derek counters, the gruffness of his tone giving way to something softer and more vulnerable as he tears his eyes away from Stiles.
"Aww, that's so sweet," Stiles smirks, all that fire fueling his determination to fight jumping ship to playful banter. "You actually care about me."
"I never said that," Derek refutes, crossing his arms over his chest and glaring at Stiles with a petulant pout.
"Didn't have to, Der-bear," Stiles teases with a saccharine lilt, lips curving into a positively impish shit-eating grin. "I read between the lines."
"Well then, you're illiterate," Derek huffs, covering his splutter of indignation with a low, rumbling growl.

Summary
Stiles has got champagne problems. No, really. He's had way too many mimosas. A game of tipsy truth or dare at a New Year's Eve pack party ends with Stiles accidentally blurting out that he's in love with Derek…right in front of the sourwolf himself.
"Alright, fine," Erica simpers. "I dare you to tell us who you've got a crush on."
"Because we all know there's someone," Lydia insists, giving him a pointed look.
"Someone you've clearly been pining after for years now," Danny agrees. "So just come clean, Stilinski. Tell us who it is."
Stiles, who is absolutely smashed off his ass at this point in the game, rolls his eyes so hard he sees stars.
"Nice try, assholes," he teases with a sing-song lilt and a self-satisfied smile. "But there's no way in hell I'm ever gonna tell you I'm in love with Derek, so you can just—"
Somewhere in the distance, a champagne flute shatters, and suddenly, Derek is just there, looming in the distance, eyebrows arched so high they practically straddle his hairline.

Summary
For the record, Derek is not stalking Stiles. He's just being protective, standing guard outside his bedroom window every night like the world's okayest watchdog. For the most part, it's relatively uneventful. Until one night, Derek catches Stiles performing a one-man concert to the tune of Taylor Swift's Love Story, with some very interesting lyrical changes.
"I thought I heard—" Derek starts, adrenaline giving way to embarrassment. "Nevermind. Sorry. I'll go."
"You thought you heard what?" Stiles prompts, one eyebrow cocked in mocking familiarity.
"I…heard you singing," Derek says softly, gaze cast to the ceiling so that he doesn't have to look Stiles in the eye.
"So? That's hardly a cause for concern," Stiles snaps defensively. "What, a man can't enjoy a good pop-country love ballad every once in a while?"
"No, it's not that. It's just—" Derek falters. "I thought I heard you say my name."
"What?! I didn't say your name!" Stiles splutters, voice rising an octave.
And that's when he hears it, the telltale skip in his heartbeat as Stiles chokes around the obvious lie.

Summary
Stiles discovers that Derek harbors a secret love of sea shanties and keeps turning every lyric into a sexual innuendo. But soon enough, he's just as into them, the two of them spending a scenic road trip down the coast with the stereo on full blast, singing along with the song Wellerman at the top of their lungs (and making out in the back of Derek's car at every rest stop.)
"Sorry, it's just—" Stiles snickers, catching his breath. "These lyrics, man. They're a veritable goldmine of sexual innuendo. I mean, 'one day when the tonguing is done'? What kind of tonguing are we talking about here? Cause if that's how it is, maybe I should think about becoming a sailor. I've certainly got the mouth for it."
Derek's brain short-circuits, sweeping right past the obvious swears like a sailor joke and diving headfirst into a fantasy detailing all the ways Stiles could put that mischievous mouth of his to good use.

Since When Do GQ Models Deliver Pizza? by fairytalesandfolklore for ash_mcj, Nutellargh

Summary
Disaster flirt Stiles Stilinski makes the world's worst first, second, and third impression in front of his crush, Derek The Hot Pizza Delivery Guy.
With a sheepish grin and a nervous chuckle, he trades Derek the pizza box for a soapy, soaking wet $20 bill. Technically, this should be the end of the transaction, but the two of them just keep standing there, staring at one another. And then Derek's gaze drifts lower, and his eyes widen, and that's when Stiles feels it — the sudden burst of cool night air across his backside — and sure enough, when he glances down, there's his towel pooled in a puddle at his feet. Stiles gives a startled yelp, and in his panic, attempts to use the pizza box as a modesty shield, only he's got it tilted at the wrong angle so now the pizza's slipping, sliding straight out of the box and onto the floor, landing face-down in a soapy puddle.
Somewhere, vaguely, in the back of his mind, Stiles can't help but think that this is an apt metaphor for his entire romantic history.

He May Not Be Drunk, But He Sure As Hell Is Thirsty by fairytalesandfolklore
Fandoms: Teen Wolf (TV)

Summary
Stiles is very supportive of Derek's acting career — among other things — and is determined to let him know through a series of (slightly tipsy) thirsty texts.
It's been weeks since Stiles last saw Derek, and he's…well, he wouldn't call it pining, exactly, but he's definitely excited that Derek is back in town. It had been difficult at first, when Derek stole away to the city to pursue his acting career, but after years of hard work and dedication, it's finally paid off. Tonight marks the premiere of his first major role, and Stiles couldn't be more proud. No, really. He marked it in his calendar and everything.
No less than a minute into the pilot, he's already whipping out his phone and sending a flurry of rapid-fire texts, and Derek's phone lights up on his nightstand like a strobe at a blacklight party. Stiles can't help it. Every time Derek comes on the screen, he feels like one of those gifs of a dog tonguing the glass. Normally, he needs a hell of a lot more liquid courage than just two Angry Orchards to be this bold, but for Derek, his one working brain cell makes an exception. He may not be drunk, but he sure as hell is thirsty.

Summary
He means to send the photo to Scott. Really, he does. But it's barely 9AM and he hasn't had his morning coffee yet, so his brain isn't exactly firing on all cylinders, single brain cell chanting an endless chorus of Derek Derek Derek. Which is how he ends up accidentally sending the photo he'd just taken to Derek instead, along with the lovely accompanying caption: seriously scotty, just look at him, I think I'm in love.
By the time Stiles realizes his mistake, it's too late to hit cancel. He hears the telltale chime of a successfully sent text, the little grayed-out delivered notification staring back at him with a mocking checkmark. He glances up, watching in abject horror as Derek pulls out his phone. Clocks his exact time of death as the moment Derek's eyebrows arch high enough to meet his hairline.

Some Things Should Really Just Stay In The Vault by fairytalesandfolklore

Summary
"Stiles, you are not breaking into the secret Disney porn vault," Derek heaves a long-suffering sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose and rolling his eyes so hard he nearly gives himself a migraine. "That's not a sentence I ever thought I'd have to say, but here we are. This is my life now."
"Oh come on, sourwolf," Stiles snickers. "You can't tell me you aren't at least a little bit curious."
"There isn't enough brain bleach in the world to scour the mental image of Mickey and Goofy doing the horizontal tango," Derek quips, a self-satisfied smirk twitching at the corners of his lips as Stiles barks out a laugh and settles back into the passenger seat.
A few minutes tick by in companionable silence, and then Stiles is bolting upright, glancing over at Derek with a look of feigned innocence betrayed by the mischievous glint in his eye.
"So…" he ventures with an air of casual nonchalance that fools absolutely no one. "You think they keep this vault on the premises, or—"

Summary
Stiles and Derek fall through a portal and get lost in the world of Little Nightmares, running from all manner of monsters as they try to find their way back home.
They wake in a nightmare world filled with all manner of horrifying monsters far more menacing than any they've ever encountered before, navigating their way through the depths of a creaking old vessel at the bottom of the ocean. They spend what feels like days there, scavenging for scraps of bread and cheese (though Derek warns them against eating the meat, something about it doesn't smell right.)
They find a flashlight and a silver cigarette lighter tucked inside of an over-large suitcase filled to the brim with old newspaper clippings, and use it to coax flames to life in quaint little lanterns scattered across the landscape, warding off the chill from the constant drip drip drip of the pipes threatening to burst and flood the lower levels with saltwater. Stiles likes the lanterns, likes the way they bathe the walls in a soft golden glow, at odds with the hazy grays and twilit blues of the gloomy depths, igniting a little spark of hope inside him that somehow, some way, they'll find their way back home.

Summary
Stiles and Derek stay up all night together playing a scary video game, shrieking with laughter and clutching each other every time there's a jump scare.
By the time they reach the end credits, it's early morning, summer sunlight pouring through the trees outside of Stiles's bedroom window, igniting the room in a golden glow and warming Derek's back as he snuggles in under the covers and buries his face in the hair at the back of Stiles's neck. A few moments later, the bedroom door clicks open, and the sheriff pops his head in to say good morning before heading to bed after a long overnight shift.
The words have barely left his mouth when he stops short at the sight of the local ex-murder suspect turned alpha werewolf curled protectively around his son, the two of them fast asleep, looking more peaceful than he's seen either of them look in years. He glances around the room, noting the empty popcorn bowl tipped over onto its side, the discarded sleeves of cookies, the headphone wires wrapped around Stiles's left ankle as it dangles from the side of the bed, and slowly turns back around, gently closing the door behind him.

Summary
It's October, which means Stiles is officially 80% more annoying than he normally is at any other time of the year. This Halloween, Stiles's new obsession is some dance party remix of the song Spooky Scary Skeletons. It's a catchy tune, even Derek will admit that. But after hearing it blasted through Roscoe's shitty speakers for the hundredth time that week, everyone in the pack is sick to death of it, especially Derek. He's got no choice but to resort to drastic measures.
He squeezes his eyes shut, preparing to be eaten, preparing for the foul breath of some horrible fanged monster, but it's actually — huh, minty fresh. And — that's interesting — the weight pressed on top of him is very familiar, his body responding to it in a way entirely ill-befitting to getting murdered. He opens one bleary eye to find none other than Derek hovering above him, shit-eating grin plastered across his stupid handsome face.
"Gotcha," he says, smirking as Stiles struggles to break free. "That'll teach you to fuck with my phone settings. Now, change it back from that godawful song, or I'll make good on my promise to rip your throat out with my teeth."

Summary
According to the stories Derek's mother used to tell him as she tucked him into bed and kissed him goodnight, when you meet your soulmate, and they fall in love with you, a heart-shaped mark will appear across your chest, right over your own beating heart, and then you'll know, without a shadow of a doubt, that you've found the right one.
By the time Derek finally notices it, it's been there for at least a few months, if not years. It isn't new — no longer the shiny, aggressive pink of a freshly branded burn mark, but a faded dusty rose, like an old scar or a birthmark, slightly blurred around the edges, though just as clear as the one he remembers seeing emblazoned across his father's chest every time they'd go for an early morning run through the forest.
It doesn't come with the fanfare and fireworks you hear about in all those fairy tales about love at first sight — a spark of light and a rush of summer heat like a flint being struck against steel — less of a wildfire, more of a slowly stoked hearth filled with glowing embers, a gradual warmth that envelopes him over time, without him even realizing, until one day, Derek forgets what it's like to shiver.

Summary
Derek just wants to relax after spending the day playing Mall Santa, but his boyfriend has other ideas. 'Tis the season for a naughty holiday-themed strip tease featuring some of the worst Christmas puns and innuendos you've ever heard.
Derek checks the clock, frowning in concern. Stiles had said he was going to change and that he'd be right back, but that was over twenty minutes ago. He's about to get up and go check on him, when the all-too-familiar tune of his least favorite Christmas song in the entire world starts playing on the stereo, and out comes Stiles wearing nothing but a jauntily perched Santa hat and a pair of the tiniest shorts Derek has ever seen. When Stiles twirls around to give Derek the full effect, he can make out the words naughty elf emblazoned across his asscheeks.
Derek can do little more than stare open-mouthed as Stiles saunters toward him, sucking on the end of a candy cane in what he probably imagines is a seductive way, shaking his ass in time to the music. Overall, the effect is actually quite charming, and Derek would be lying if he said it wasn't doing something for him.
And then Stiles starts talking.
