Title or Description: it's for the story I'm writing for the Sterek Big Bang, tentative (and probably final) title is Post Tenebras Lux
Genre: angst, action, some humor
Relationships/Characters: Stiles/Derek with allusions to Scott/Allison/Isaac (it's only mentioned in passing); ensemble cast with a focus on Stiles and Lydia and later Scott; Stiles is the main character of this fic
Length or word count: just under 48k
Type of beta you'd like: SPaG, Ameripick, maybe a superficial plot/continuity check because I changed some huge plot points mid-story (I think I got them all in the first rounds of edits I did myself, but it could be that I missed something)
Summary: Stiles is pretty happy when it looks like he and Derek might have a mutual interest in starting a relationship. Only when he shows up at Derek's place the next day, Derek is behaving strangely and there's a random stranger making breakfast in the kitchen. Things only get stranger when Morgan - the stranger - is also at the pack meeting and seems to be getting along with everyone - everyone except Stiles. He's the only one who's even slightly suspicious, and his suspicions turn out to be valid because Derek kicks him out of the pack not two days after Morgan shows up in town. While Stiles races to find out what, exactly, Morgan is doing to his pack (and how to reverse it), he also has to deal with a little pest problem plaguing Beacon Hills as well as his own doubts and insecurities about his place in the pack and in Derek's life.
Other details:
- Morgan is using mind control on the pack. No sexual instances of dub-con or non-con appear in the fic and they aren't alluded to in the text. There is, however, one instance of a mind-controlled Derek attacking Stiles physically as a warning to stay out of the pack.
- There is one description of a panic attack as well as some references to said panic attack after it happened.
- future fic (set in the first few weeks of the pack's first year at college)
- I randomly resurrected Boyd for this fic, although he doesn't really say much or has much importance in this story (if they can kill him for no reason, I can resurrect him for no reason, right?)
- Stiles/Scott BFF-ness
- BAMF!Stiles
- Stiles/Lydia friendship (with several references to Stiles' former crush on her and his continued admiration for Lydia in many ways and forms)
- the Stilinski men hug a lot (but they still have their problems)
- magic!Stiles
- unhelpful and ambiguous Deaton
- the show "Supernatural" is referenced twice by the characters (no spoilers) and I've slipped in a Due South reference. *g*
- some references to vague spoilers of 3B regarding the 'darkness' in the trio's hearts (from before any of the recent trailers were released)
