It’s time to start thinking about Sterek Week again! Your favorite admins, @justjimedits, @boymeetswerewolf, and @kcfriedchicken are back again to bring you the finest selection of themes ever seen.
Tuesday, October 25th: “Feels Like Home”
Home is where the heart is, whether it be a place or a person. We start this year’s Sterek Week off by exploring the theme of home and comfort for Derek and Stiles in whatever way, shape or form you think it may be. Whether it be Derek and Stiles feeling at home with each other, finding their home in each other, or making a home together… or meeting for the first time and realizing they’re finally home.
Wednesday, October 26th: “Dungeons & Dragons”
Fantasy stories of distant, magical lands; tabletop games or roleplaying as adventuring heroes; getting lost in BDSM dungeons with Bad Dragon merchandise. Whatever you associate with dungeons and dragons can be used as inspiration for this theme. How about an AU inspired by House of the Dragon, or the Hellfire Club from Stranger Things? Your imagination is the only limit for the adventuring pair of heroes that are Derek and Stiles.
Thursday, October 27th: “A Box of Dreams”
Anything you can dream up for Sterek can fit within this theme. It can be interpreted as something Stiles and Derek are dreaming about, or their hopes/dreams/goals as a couple… or even their fears. Remember, nightmares are also dreams so it doesn’t have to be all sweetness and wholesomeness. Perhaps an AU inspired by Pandora’s Box or The Sandman? The dream world is yours to explore!
Friday, October 28th: “Mirror, Mirror”
Through the Looking Glass; Alternate Universes; supernatural!Stiles and human!Derek. Reflections, role-reversals and opposites are at the heart of this theme. Be it a fairy tale magic mirror, a Freaky Friday/body-swap moment, or exploring what they see about themselves reflected in each other. Show us what you see in the mirror.
Saturday, October 29th: “Canon Revisited”
With the Teen Wolf film expected to release this year, this theme is meant to take a look back at the Teen Wolf canon and the role Stiles and Derek have played within it. Revisit a canon moment, take a canon moment and reinvent it, or write something inspired by your favorite part of canon. Remember, these three things are not long hidden… the Sun, the Moon and your version of the canon Truth.
Sunday, October 30th: “Sing Me A Song”
Music can inspire us an transport us to transcendent places, whether it be through the melody or the lyrics or both. You can write a songfic, or create something inspired by a song. It can be Stiles or Derek themselves involved in music; maybe they’re singers or songwriters or doing something inspired by a song. Often wise words can be found in songs… let them inspire you.
Monday, October 31st: “Halloween”
All Hallows’ Eve is our favorite holiday here at Sterek Week and we can’t wait to see what you create for this year’s Halloween theme. Magical, haunting, ghostly and bewitching, or cozy and playful, celebrating the Fall season and the changing time of year. As Sterek Week comes to a close, wish us all farewell until the next year with your vision of what our favorite pair get up to this Halloween!
Summary: “Did you just say you found two children in Arthur’s bed, Merlin?” Gaius gave him The eyebrow.
Or, when two children who look weirdly similar to Merlin and Arthur appear in the prince’s chambers, they have to find out where they came from. In which secrets get revealed, families founded and chaos ensues!
