Teen Wolf Fic Recs - Derek Hale/Genim (Stiles) Stilinski aka Sterek
So umm, I initially had dismissed Teen Wolf as cheesy light fare based on the pilot episode.
Then there was all this outpouring of love for a character with the horrifying name of 'Stiles' who I could actually vaguely recall as being somewhat fun and interesting. I then marathoned the show and rewatched it this month and realized, OMG, I LOVE STILES. So. This led to a binge of Stiles!fics which were really just him with Derek since that's where all the awesomesauce seems to be located in the fandom.
I've now rewatched TW again and developed a new appreciation for Derek. Also, FIC ♥
I kinda want to see certain crossover fics now where maybe Stiles gets addicted to Adderall and talks to Annie Edison from Community XD Also, AUs ARE TOTAL LOVE. Especially the kind featuring supernatural towns, characters as porn stars or masseurs or y'know, just Star Trek.
Couldn't hekp comparing the addiction to Stiles with my love for certain other character: Caroline from TVD (friends being her #1 priority), Chloe from Smallville (sidekicks FTW) and Toph from A:TLAB (the smart mouth XD) - not to mention looking like complete jailbait reminiscent of a young Jensen Ackles (particularly as Alec in Dark Angel). I can totally see elements of Xander from Buffy (the funny!guy) which ISN'T a usual love of mine but OMG, its gold in fanfic. I don't think I normally ever laugh this much in regards to dialogue.
WHY ARE MY SHOWS ON HIATUS, WHY?
Anyway, recs!
A Broken Heart Is Blind by halona | Mature ~ 5k

All This Has Happened by 1001cranes | Mature ~ 10k
The thing is, most of it's been done before. People competing for money, or love, or fame - it's all boring, it's all been done, has-been, seen before, who cares? Until some motherfucker finally realized - you know what's really interesting?
Revenge.
Dystopian AU where fame is the name of the game. Sometimes revenge is the quickest way to the top, and Derek Hale has plenty to avenge - Stiles is just along for the ride.
Cherrybomb by the_deep_magic | Adult ~ 13k

Desperate But Not Serious by sofonisba_found | Adult ~ 13k

nerves more by 1001cranes | Adult ~ 5k
Stiles only knows the boys are home from college when he sees the Camaro. It's a beautiful car, unusual - Laurent's car, but what's Laurent's is Derek's is Laurent's, rarely ever any distinctions - and Stiles is certain he sees it, idling in the corner of his vision when he talks to Scott, but when he turns around there isn't anything there.
Nobody Does It Better by HalfFizzbin | Teen ~ 2k

“I called you a slave-driver!” Stiles cried hysterically, “I called you an ogre! I stole all the blue paperclips!”
Derek raised an eyebrow at him.
“That’s company property!” he shouted, waving his arms madly in distress.
Derek ran a hand over his face, “It’s not theft if the vice president of the company gives you permission.”

The Faolfir by tylerfucklin (zimothy) | Mature ~ 15k
Realization struck Stiles and he had to stumble back against a tree for support. He wasn’t a hunter, he was a faolfir, a wolf shifter. Stiles had taken his pelt and prevented him from returning to his pack because he was trapped as a human without it.
The Hazards (and Benefits) of Channel-Surfing on Friday Nights by herbeautifullie | Mature ~ 12k
He's watching TV over the edge of his laptop when Scott brings up the fact that he's still a lonely loser in his third year of college without a boyfriend which, while being completely true, is really fucking unappreciated. It sparks a desperate need to save what little manhood Stiles has and, before he knows it, he's blurting, "I totally have a boyfriend, dude. Shows how much you know."
How was he supposed to know Scott would doubt him? It's not Stiles' fault that someone named Derek Hale really exists.
It's also not his fault when his lie grows legs and runs so far he can't find it until it's too late - too late and standing right in front of him, gorgeous and annoyed and not at all the person Stiles made him up to be. Yeah, this could get bad.
The Perils of Fungi by the_deep_magic | Adult ~ 4k
“Yeah, he’ll be fine,” Derek says evenly, hoping Scott is too freaked out to sense that it’s at least two-thirds of a lie because Derek probably knows what this is and Stiles is probably going to be just fine, but poking purple mushrooms with sticks has consequences, dammit.

You Can’t File a Missing Persons Report on a Lost Dog (and that’s a Doggone Shame) by SnarkyLlama | Teen ~ 13k
(WIP) The wild dog that Stiles sorta kinda adopted has gone missing. He wants to find it. With Scott's assistance, he starts a Lost Dog poster campaign.
Derek doesn't want to be found, because he isn't Stiles's dog. Well... not anymore. And Stiles's posters are embarrassing.
Will the rest of the Hale family be able to change Derek's mind?
