Stiles/Derek
Alpha Spikes by starbeast
Summary: AU. Alphas are like royalty and are offered their choice of any age eighteen-and-up virgin Omega for each year's heat season, as a 'thank-you' to all they've done for their compounds throughout the year. Derek is an Alpha and...yeah, Stiles. Stiles is an Omega. And still a virgin. In every way. And he's just turned eighteen. This...is not his day.

Rating: PG13
Length: 13k
Comments: A take on soul-bonding which I can totally get behind. The chemistry between Stiles and Derek in this fic is electric and very much worth the read. Also read the brilliantly ploty follow-up,
As We Sail It.

Hear His Alibis by 1001cranes
Summary: Creepy never looked so cute - or, how Sheriff Stiles accidentally adopted a juvenile offender. (another) pyromaniac au.
Rating: PG
Length: 6.6k
Comments: This was lovely and human and I enjoyed every minute of it. Also read the (much darker) follow-up,
Multiplied by Seven, which is the story told from Stiles and Derek's POV (NC17 for sure, and beware, under-age sex).
Important Things by suzvoy
Summary: Stiles learns that even with werewolves, giant lizards and psychopathic hunters on the loose, life can still find other ways to screw with you. Case in point: everyone keeps assuming he and Derek are a couple. What the hell?

Comments: Love, love. love.
Late Night Basement Songs by melfice
Summary: They're still nobodies when Laura Hale hears them, when she asks them to open for her band at their show in Lincoln, Nebraska. Which is a little terrifying and extremely exciting and it's the first real gig they book. It's also the first time that Stiles meets Derek.

Comments: Mmm... band AU. Derek in guyliner. Is there really anything better?
Mating Habits of the Domesticated North American Werewolf by lielabell
Summary: Derek doesn’t do pining. He doesn’t. So when it becomes clear that Stiles is much more interested in having Derek as a new best friend than a boyfriend, he puts on his big boy pants and makes it fucking work. He becomes the best goddamn friend a spastic teenager could ever hope to have.
Rating: R
Length: 35K
Comments: This was full of angst -- in a good way. Oh Stiles. Oh Derek.
The One Where Derek is Courting and Stiles Fears the Zombie/Werewolf Apocalypse by im_not_a_lizard
Summary: Awkward courtship funtimes! Derek is courting Stiles in the way that all male animals go about impressing their mates. Giving them practical (if weird, like, Derek gives Stiles 10kg of steak) gifts, making a nice home (he starts renovating the old Hale house), weird shit like that. Stiles is oblivious, and Scott keeps sort of helplessly hinting at what Derek is doing to little effect.
Rating: PG13-ish
Length: 8k
Comment: Completely ridiculous -- a fun read.
Open the Door by Renay

Rating: PG13

Rating: NC17

Comments: God I wish this fic was longer. I love the world building (I think this would could be explored in no less than 100k, no lie) and it's a damn sexy read. Phew.
(Sacred) In the Ordinary by idyll
Summary: The Pack, after college, graduate school and the starting of careers, comes back to Beacon Hills. Nothing's gotten less complicated after all this time.
Rating: R
Length: ~78k
Comments: Sacred is literally my favourite piece of fanfiction in this already talented fandom. It's beautiful, cleverly written and honest. The dynamics of the pack their behaviour is the best I've read. It's just such a relief to read all of them as bright, mature adults. The slow build of Derek and Stiles' relationship was breathtaking. The difference between their causal intimacy as pack slowly becoming more focused and deliberate, slowly and inch by inch. Their coming together, when it finally happens, feels like perfection.
The Sanctuary by chase_acow
Summary: Stiles runs away during his first heat, right into the waiting and ambiguously scary arms of the Alpha's nephew, Derek Hale. He doesn't have any choice except to submit, but along the way, he digs up a mystery that threatens his family and even the town's safety.
Rating: NC17
Length: 25k
Comments: A fun and sexy AU where Stiles is a werewolf in a werewolf town and he's going into his first heat and then Derek is there and... just really HOT.
There is a Brotherhood by minusoneday
Summary: The one where pledge brothers Stiles and Scott start a prank war with Derek Hale's fraternity.
Rating: NC17
Length: 21k
Comments: A really fun collegue AU. Stiles is brilliant and clever and sarcastic. Derek is a brooder who likes Stiles' cleverness and sarcasm. Happy-making.
To Have Outlived the Night by stillane
Summary: Derek steps away from the window. “You helped me. They took that as a declaration.”
Rating: R

Comments: Wow. This might be my favourite piece of TW fanfiction thus far. Beautifully written and both Stiles and Derek's characters are pitched perfectly. I love reading something from Derek's POV for a change. I can see why this got a billion kudos, honestly.
