The Man Who Wasn't There by entanglednow [Teen]
Fandom: Teen Wolf
Pairing: Derek/Stiles
Length: 1822
Author on LJ: entangled_now
Author Website: here or here on LJ and here on AO3
Author's Summary: This is like the pre-credits sequence of every horror movie, he's probably going to be eaten before the main character is even introduced.
Why this must be read:
So technically I'm listing the first story as the rec, but I'm actually listing the whole series as a must read. "The Man Who Wasn't There" is the first in a series of twelve stories called Milkshakes & Matchsticks that details a slow courtship between Stiles and Derek that is absolutely spot on. entangled_now takes Stiles quirks and Derek's issues and runs with them, portraying this couple with the kind of understanding that doesn't smooth over the potential rough patches they would have to overcome in their relationship, but rather builds on them. All together the series is a little more than 50,000 words long, and is a definite must read if you have any fondness for this pairing at all.
