Hitting the 50th rec post soon...what will I do then?
FIC PICK: {TEENW} Next Thursday by
wldnst
|| danny/stiles, pg-13, canon, 18,209 words ||
In which Stiles Stilinski has a werewolf for a best friend, a support group for that, hot chocolate with Lydia Martin and Danny Mahealani every Thursday evening, and an extremely anticlimactic coming out experience.
Why you should read it: I absolutely love the angsty, emotional roller-coaster that is derek/stiles but sometimes my heart just wants a slow, quiet build of not-quiet-friends flirting & falling in love unexpectedly...this fic (& pairing) was it. Granted, I am EXTREMELY biased towards Danny so this read made me laugh and smile the whole way through!
