FIC: Runs In The Family (Teen Wolf)
On the very off chance that any of you are A) still following this journal, B) not keeping up with me on tumblr, and C) actually interested in Teen Wolf, I wrote a fic! Well. Possibly it qualifies as a novel.
Title: Runs In The Family
Author: Narceus/C is for circinate
Rating: Mature (or R)
Summary: It used to be, every witch and werewolf this side of the Rockies knew the name ‘Hale’. Every hunter, too; well, that part goes without saying.
Every hunter west of the Rockies knows the name ‘Argent’, too.
Word Count: Tops out around 95k, give or take.
Pairings: Major ship in this race is Scott/Allison. This story is about as gen-focused as canon--there's sex, and there's love, and they don't always happen in the same place, but that's not always the point. We brush past a handful of other things, few of them what you could call healthy, and at least one sexual relationship that I would hesitate to call fully consensual. As always, heed the warnings list.
Warnings: DO TAKE THESE SERIOUSLY. This story contains suicide (off-camera) and the aftermath of suicide. One character who is hella determined to send himself the same way. Physical assault, canon-typical violence. Torture and implied torture. Statutory rape and sexual manipulation of a minor by an adult. Peter Hale being his creepyass self.
This story also includes an abusive family situation that I don’t entirely know if I have the words to properly describe (at least in less than 90k). Extremely controlling authority figures, lots of psychological programming, enforced isolation from the outside world, threats of domestic violence, one scene where somebody actually bleeds and a lot of scenes where somebody’s afraid of it. It is, in its basics, a cult.
.
Take canon and make one single, fundamental swap. Watch how much it doesn't change things at all. In January of 2011, the Argents come to Beacon Hills, Laura and Derek Hale right behind them, and nothing will ever be quite the same again.
Prologue: This place has a history In which we learn our backstory.
Chapter 1: Put a bullet in the barrel, take the safety off In which wolves and hunters find themselves in Beacon Hills, not for the first time.
Chapter 2: Softly through the shadow of the evening sun In which people walk far too willingly into trouble.
Chapter 3: And the ravens are leaving the tower In which people make plans.
Chapter 4: Push the button and pull the plug In which the moon is full and everything goes very, very wrong.
Chapter 5: They say you can catch it but sometimes you're born with it In which everybody comes from somewhere.
Chapter 6: The things we laid do not amount to much In which there are consequences.
Chapter 7: In the end everything collides In which many things explode.
Chapter 8: It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat In which some people survive.
Chapter 9: And you shed not a single tear for the things you didn't need In which there is a denouement.
