FIC: there’s a ritual for that Derek/Stiles PG13
Title: there’s a ritual for that
Author: Spikedluv
Fandom: Teen Wolf
Rating: PG13/Pre-Slash
Pairing: Derek/Stiles
Length: 34,632 words
Spoilers: Through season 3A.
Summary: Six months after Derek and Cora leave Beacon Hills, Stiles gets a text from Cora - they’re in trouble and need help. Turns out that Derek is being wooed by a neighboring pack. The Alpha remembers his mother fondly and would love to have a Hale in her pack. Especially if that means she might breed in the ability to change into a full wolf. And she’s not taking ‘no’ for an answer, even when Derek lies and tells her that he already has a mate.
Except Derek didn’t lie. When Stiles shows up to help with the emergency, he inadvertently discovers that he is Derek’s mate. Stiles tries not to think about it (he knows that the mate bond isn’t written in stone, just look at Scott and Allison) as he (and Lydia, and Deaton) research mates and the challenges to the mate bond (because, of course there’s a ritual for that) and try to keep the Alpha of the Palmer pack from discovering Stiles’ connection to Derek.
Throw in the monkey wrench of Peter showing up, and Stiles starting to have feelings, and Derek sometimes looking at him like . . . Stiles doesn’t know, but he doesn’t hate it, and things begin to get a little bit complicated.
Author’s Notes: Written for the third round of . When I first started writing this story I was under the impression that Jeff Davis had used the actual full moons (and total eclipse) from 2011 and that 3A ended in December. By the time I realized I was wrong about that, I sort of had this idea cemented, and so I kept that timeline. Please pretend with me that 3A ended in December, and six months later it’s now June. Also, I am continuing with my own personal headcanon that Stiles’ birthday is in November, and he is 17 at the time of this story.
Warning: Mention of a panic attack, though in no great detail.
