    Summary

    Mieczysław Stilinski stepped out of the transport ship with the air of someone who had seen everything and could have cared less about most of it. He was here to observe. To learn how the rest of the Galactic Syndicate Members trained their soldiers, advisors, and researchers. His father had been specific in his instructions: keep your eyes and ears open and your mouth shut. Keep the darkness contained and no matter what, never let them know what you are.

    Summary

    Stilinski has a firm, supportive grasp on the shoulder of the young man with him. Not a criminal. A relative, maybe even a son. This young man looks like he hasn’t slept in months. He wears a flannel shirt like a shock blanket. He’s slim with strong hands and a sweet, upturned nose. He would have been exactly (and secretively, shamefully) Derek’s type before his world crumbled to ashes.

    ***

    Derek has been in Eichen House for years, dealing with his family's death. A young man named Stiles is admitted for hallucinations and violent tendencies ... but nothing's ever that simple in Beacon Hills.

    Summary

    “How are you?” Stiles asked, falling onto the couch beside Derek and leaning heavily into him. “How was your day? How’s the book?” He kissed his cheek once. Twice. Then two more times in quick succession.

    Derek turned to look at him, Stiles affecting his most innocent expression as he patiently waited for Derek to answer his questions.

    Instead of doing so, Derek slowly closed his book, losing his page, and set it on the coffee table in front of them. Then he turned to look at Stiles, leaning back slightly against the arm rest, and crossed his arms.

    “What do you want?”

    Summary

    “Always such a smartass,” Finstock insisted, shaking his head. “What, you want a gold star for your mediocre performance?”

    “If you’ve got any, I’d love one,” Stiles informed him.

    “You’re too old for a gold star, Bilinski.”

    “Hey, hey,” Stiles argued, holding one hand out towards the man as he headed back for the board—evidently forgetting Greenberg now had his marker. “Sometimes adults need gold stars, too.” When Coach turned back to give him a look, Stiles just shrug-flailed. “We’re all just little gremlins starving for attention! Do you know how satisfying a gold star would be? Right here?” Stiles motioned his right pectoral up near his shoulder. “Just a cute little star right there. ‘Good Job!’ or ‘I’m proud of you!’ or even just ‘Well done!’ So satisfying. Or what about like, a hero biscuit?” Stiles mimed nibbling on a cookie. “Cute little bone-shaped cookie made for heroes? Wouldn’t that just brighten your day?”

    “Stop talking or I’ll bench you.”

    “I’m always benched,” Stiles argued.

    Summary

    The funny thing is, Stiles actually has no idea who just climbed through his window. Doesn't really care, either. All he wants to do is catch a few hours of uninterrupted sleep before the nightmares drag him back to consciousness.

    Again.

    Still, he expects some sort of snarky response if it's Derek or Peter. Or maybe the vocal embodiment of Scott's puppy dog eyes if it's his best friend.

    He doesn't expect several seconds of silence.

    And he definitely doesn't expect the sudden and unmistakable thump of a body hitting the ground.
