One of the things I've wanted to be better about this year is cleaning out some of my "to-read" fics. I have a ton of AO3 notifications in my inbox from authors I subscribe to, and so many of those fics immediately go to my TBR pile and never see the light of day again. My goal is to read at least two longer fics per week (over 25k) and since I read several great Teen Wolf things this month, I thought they merited their own post. :) More multi-fandom recs to come tomorrow.
[Derek/Stiles]Title: On and On and On (part 3 of If We're Talking Body Series) Author: alisvolatpropiis Pairing(s): Stiles/Derek Rating: NC-17 Word Count: 2,492 Warnings: AU: Human, cop!stiles, artist!derek, tattoos, bottom!derek, implied switching, established relationship Summary: Heart pounding with anticipation and excitement, Derek tosses aside the towel he was using to dry his hair and drops his knees to the bed, running his hands up Stiles’ calves. They’re thin but muscular, pale, dusted with dark hair. Derek knows the exact curve and feel of them quite well by know - after all, he’s drawn Stiles countless times, painted him over and over, snapped hundreds of photographs. Derek has memorized every detail of Stiles’ gorgeous body, but he still can never get enough of exploring him; each touch, each kiss, feels as wondrous and new as it does familiar. Sweet and hot update, this time with bottom!Derek! :D
Title: Blind Date With A Book Author: thepsychicclam | thepsychicclam Pairing(s): Stiles/Derek, past Derek/Paige Rating: NC-17 Word Count: 30,361 Warnings: AU: Human, no hale fire, hale family lives, Laura lives, matchmaking Summary: Stiles thought the Blind Date With a Book trend was a great way to drum up business for his small bookshop. He definitely thought it was a great idea after the hot guy kept returning and buying more blind dates with books. Derek didn't know how he kept getting set up on blind dates by his family, or why he kept going on them. The highlight of his night was when the date was over and he could go to the little bookshop in town and buy something to read for the rest of the night. He wanted to read, not date. Really sweet fic with Stiles as a bookshop owner and Derek as an avid reader who keeps escaping into the bookshop after his blind dates. Loved the development of their relationship in this one. The matchmaking Hales were a little much at times, but overall a really enjoyable fic with an adorable ending.
Title: There's a howling that stays beneath my skin Author: LunaCanisLupus_22 Pairing(s): Derek/Stiles, Cora/OMC, brief Stiles/Malia, past Derek/Braeden Rating: NC-17 Word Count: 32,400 Content/Warnings: bottom!stiles, implied switching Summary: Derek's obligatory vacation fic in South America after he left Beacon Hills (for good?) Really lovely, sexy fic that takes place mid-season 5. Loved the characterizations here, and the fallout from Stiles killing somebody was well handled. Wonderful connection between Stiles and Derek, and a nicely uplifting ending.
[Stiles/Stuart]Title: bangs the sense out of me locked to AO3 users Author: KuriKuri Pairing(s): Stiles/"Stuart" Stilinksi Rating: NC-17 Word Count: 4,619 Content/Warnings: AU: Omega!verse, AU: Twins, sibling incest, twincest, alpha/beta/omega dynamics, bottom!stiles, omega!stiles, first time, heat cycles, knotting Summary: (Maybe Stiles has had a few errant fantasies, and he knows that’s weird - that it’s not normal to imagine having sex with your twin brother - but it’s not like he’d ever act on it.) Super freaking dirtyhot sibcest fic with bonus omega!verse. :D
