a problem that doesn't want to be solved by wishingonalightningbolt

Summary
Derek is an executive at Hale Publishing. Stiles is his assistant—his assistant who's 23 years younger than him. So Derek really shouldn't...notice him. The way that he does.
-0-
Stiles is attractive. Derek knows that. He’s not blind. Sometimes, not often, Derek finds himself—looking. Admiring. Stiles is tall and fit, broad shoulders that taper to a trim waist, an ass that Derek shouldn’t be checking out as often as he does, firm and high.
Derek isn’t ignorant to his own fluid sexuality. He used to fuck men, back in the day, when he was twenty and single and easy. But then he was with Jennifer, and since the divorce it’s just seemed…less complicated. To date women. But he likes men—aesthetically. Sexually.
He likes Stiles more than he should. And it’s weird not because he’s a man but because Derek has literally never had this problem before. He’s never been attracted to one of his assistants, ever. Then again, none of his assistants have been anything like Stiles.

Summary
“Anyway, one of the girls said Mia’s not in a hurry to get down the aisle and it’s got Danny feeling ten types of insecure. So he’s been coming to all of her shows lately, keeping a closer eye on her. And on all the hands in the bar.” They glance pointedly at Derek’s hands as they set his drink down in front of him.
“Don’t say that as if I’m a threat,” Derek says.
“Please,” Xay laughs, “you know you are. You know every guy in here who came to watch their partner on stage is trembling in fear that you’ll snatch up their queen with your stupidly hot cheekbones and your magic dick.”
Derek frowns slightly. “I don’t hit on people in relationships. I’m not an asshole.”
“No, you’re not. But sometimes you wish you were.”
-0-
Derek has a thing for drag queens. And one queen in particular.

Summary
“What, are you jealous?”
“Of you? No, Hayden is not my type. I prefer pretty girls.”
“Don’t be a bitch.”
Lily laughs, loud and harsh. “Hollander, you are allowed to laugh! I am hilarious. And you did not notice that I flirt with you.”
The words bounce around Jane’s head, especially “flirt”—loud and clear. Her mouth goes dry, heart thud thud thudding in her chest. “I don’t think that word means what you think it means.”
“Mm, I think so,” Lily says, head tilting. “It is word for expressing interest, yes? For sex?”
Jane’s stomach twists, a familiar—but vaguely nauseating—feeling rushing through her. She doesn’t—she’s not—“I’m not gay.”
-0-
In which Jane Hollander and Lily Rozanova play hockey for UW-Madison together. Despite the fact that they always seem to get on each other's nerves, Jane has to deal with the fact that they clearly have chemistry on and off the ice.

Summary
The housing thing is a nightmare pretty much everywhere in California—but especially the bay. Since Stiles hasn’t managed to snag himself a rich partner to pay his bills yet, he’s used to roommates. Housemates. He actually hasn’t lived on his own…ever. He went from his dad’s house to college dorms to crowded apartments. He’s been living with Scott since they were 19, and now that they’re grown, they rent a house with two other guys they met online. There were many hours spent rifling through Craigslist before they found Derek and Isaac, but it was worth it.
-0-
Derek, Isaac, Scott, and Stiles rent a house together. Over a year that sees them deal with Derek's troublesome (ex)girlfriend, Stiles' amusing reputation with local singles, and a friendly wager over which housemate is the best kisser, Derek and Stiles fall in love.

Summary
“Dude!” Scott says. “Did you know Derek Hale is over there?!”
Stiles laughs, nodding. “Yeah, Scotty, I noticed.”
“You have to go say something! We have to go say something!”
“Say what?” Stiles asks. “I see your 2014 hat trick against the Oilers in my dreams?”
“That would be a good place to start,” Scott says. “You should tell him about the rookie card!”
“So I can seem like a pathetic kid?” Stiles scoffs. “Yeah, great idea.”
“I think it’s cute,” Kira tells him. “Very sweet.”
“Sweet,” Lydia agrees, “but not sexy.”
“Sexy?” Scott says, screwing up his face. “Why would we want to be sexy in front of Derek Hale?”
-0-
In which Derek is Stiles' hockey hero, and they end up in the same bar together one spring evening in 2017.

Summary
"So how humans pick partner?"
"Well, sexually speaking, I guess a lot of humans go off of looks,” said Grace. “Physical appearance.”
“Physical appearance!” Rocky was scandalized. “No good. Bad variable. Tell you nothing. Have to run experiment. Have to try.”

pilot study (knowledge gaps) by deervsheadlights

Summary
To Grace's knowledge (i.e. the Hail Mary's database, i.e. all of human knowledge), there have never been any studies done to confirm whether ambrein (a derivative of sperm whale digestive secretions!) actually functions as an aphrodisiac in humans or not.
Well, 15.8 light years from Earth, he's about to find out. Because the cytoplasm of Taumoeba consists in large parts of a triterpene alcohol that is startlingly similar to ambrein — and baby, he's all out of coma slurry.
Or: The sex
pollenamoeba fic you (never) asked for.Rocky utters a wordless little trill, half concerned and half curious. Always curious, and why would this be an exception? If anything, this is me conducting a pilot study on the unusual effects of Taumoeba on the human body, and oh is he ever morbidly fascinated by the many things my gross, leaky body does.

Summary
“Would like to do it. But cannot touch. Rocky not know how to jerk off, either. Grace show first, so Rocky can learn. Maybe do later.”
Three of Rocky’s claws raise and they open and close as they sway this way and that, all pointed at Grace. The only thing keeping them apart is a thin layer of xenonite and the incompatible atmospheres. Air and a few atoms. Somehow, the idea that Rocky might have just shoved Grace over and started touching him because he wanted to had him embarrassingly hard. He would be strong enough to. Grace wouldn’t even be able to fight him off…
“Grace thinking about something exciting. Statement. Share.”
Taptaptap, a claw on the glass. Excited.
“Body is changing. Erection. Observation.”
“Okay, you looking through my clothes is cheating,” Grace wheezes.
alt; Grace jerks off while Rocky watches... well, a little bit more involved than watching.

Summary
“Human book recommends relaxing bedtime routine. Listen to soothing music, sleep in a cool, dark quiet room. Stick to regular schedule.” Rocky recites what he read. “Schedule is good, room is dark and quiet. Soothing music, question?”
“Not a bad idea,” Grace stretches his legs a little. “I’ve shown you lots of music. You remember the soothing ones. Why don’t you sing for me?” He asks, jokingly.
“Good good good!” Rocky chirps excitedly, wiggling around inside his ball. “Yes, Rocky will sing. Grace will listen. Grace will sleep easily.”
