Summary: AU from 1x04, "Magic Bullet."

"Why the hell did you do that?" Derek demanded. "Why would you bond with me? You were going to leave me for dead, you didn't want anything to do with helping me."

"Okay, first of all, that was like two hours ago and I've grown a lot as a person since then," Stiles said.

Review:  In this universe, soul bonds are a well-known (though rare) occurrence, though werewolves are still a secret. Stiles binds himself to Derek to lend him strength during the wolfsbane-poisoning incident in "Magic Bullet." Afterwards, the two try their best not to consummate the bond, despite every instinct drawing them both towards it. There is some lovely hurt/comfort in Stiles initiating the bond to save Derek's life, and Derek fighting against something a bond that the terrified, lonely part of him desperately wants in order to keep Stiles from becoming a target of hunters. also enjoyed the discussion of the consent issues in Stiles initiating a soul bond with an unconscious Derek. There were also some nice cameos from Scott, the sheriff, and Melissa. In the end, it is a satisfying story of two strangers coming together to create something whole and good.
