#Eventual Steter

Snippet Sunday
Tagged by @beaconfeels to share a WIP--unfortunately I haven't added anything else to the twilight au, BUT I have more heartbeat verse to share.
Peter stands in the doorway. Stiles can hear Derek’s tinny voice from his phone, talking or saying something, but he’s not processing it. Peter’s standing. Behind him in the hall hospital workers carry on like a comatose man isn’t moving and standing right before their eyes. Stiles can feel as his jaw drops in surprise, and watches as Peter smirks at the sight.
“Hello, Stiles.” Peter’s voice is cool, and something in Stiles’s chest seems to pulse at the words--a reassuring balm spreading from it.
“You’re--you--what?” Stiles can’t wrap his head around it. The adrenaline rush from seeing the room empty is still coursing through his veins, the worry at Peter’s absence still ringing in his head.
“Yes, shocking, I know.” Something about Peter’s voice makes Stiles’s head fuzzy, he can’t seem to focus. “What a good little beta you are; staying by your pack's side; bringing me another beta that night.”
“Scott? I didn’t--I didn’t /mean/ to--”
“Didn’t you?” Peter asks calmly, stepping into the room and closer to Stiles. Stiles thinks he should probably be backing away, if the angry tone to Derek’s voice on the phone is anything to go by. “It was your idea to go into the woods that night, and you can’t deny the wonders it’s done him.”
“We weren’t supposed to--he wasn’t supposed to be a werewolf--I didn’t even know about werewolves!” Stiles can’t get his thoughts straight.
“--And if you did? It’s done him so well; first line; new girlfriend; no asthma; wouldn’t you have wanted that for him?” Peter walks closer with every word, slow and sure of himself. Stiles can’t tear his eyes away from Peter’s stare. “So loyal--making sure he remains undetected; looking after me; watching over the pack.” Peter’s voice turns sultry at the end, hungry and wanting. His eyes begin to glow, not blue like Derek’s or gold like Scott’s, but red. Burning red.
“I--alpha. You’re the alpha.” Stiles finally realizes, mind working slowly under the fog suddenly consuming it. He isn’t scared--something’s wrong, why isn’t he scared--he knows he should be worried but he can’t feel anything past the warm balm spreading from his chest. It grows with every step Peter takes closer. “You’re the one killing people.”
“Yes.” Peter stands before him, close enough to touch, and Stiles can only watch as Peter reaches for him. He feels Peter’s hand as it caresses his check, a mockery of the first time Peter did this on that first full moon. It’s softer, smaller, this time, as Peter rests it cupped around Stiles’s throat. “And you’re going to help me.”
Claws sink into the back of Stiles’s neck, and all he knows is fire.
Don't you just love being manipulated by pack bonds you don't even know are there 😊

WIP Wednesday
I know people have tagged me last week, but I forgot who it was 😂
But this week I've actually got something to show you, sooo XD
Tagging people low key bc I can 💕
@aurevell, @lavender-lotion, @beaconfeels, @dear-massacre, @whimsicalmeerkat
_____
[System Message:
You entered the F-class dungeon <<Beacon Hills Preserve>>.
You have 30 seconds to leave the dungeon before the portal closes.
Once the portal is closed you can't leave until the death of the dungeon boss.
30…
29…
28…]
Stiles stared at the message floating in front of his face counting down the seconds.
Apparently he'd finally gone crazy.
He'd know there was something wrong with him since he'd been a kid. He'd always been different, too loud, too obnoxious, too strange. The small doses friend people liked to interact with for only a few minutes at a time lest Stiles would cling to them and suck out all their energy. The crazy guy who didn't pull his punches to get back at bullies and idiots who were hurting and threatening who he called his.
There'd also always been the possibility that he'd contract the same brain disease that had killed his mother. And now… now he had weird hallucinations!
System message his ass, the world wasn't a computer game! And it didn't just change to one from one moment to the other either!
[3…
2…
1…
0…]
He felt a push from the back and stumbled forward with a surprised noise, only barely keeping on his feet. He spun around a moment later and paused. Where the trees were supposed to give way to the outskirts of Beacon Hills the only thing he was able to see was dense mist that grew darker by the second. No road, no back yards, no houses, only darkness.
"At least Scott's not here," he muttered to himself, the anger he'd felt at his best friend for abandoning him because of Lacrosse tryouts the next day suddenly turning into relief.
Behind him, a howl echoed through the woods and Stiles felt the hairs on his neck stand up, as a shiver ran through his body.
"Oh god, dad will kill me if I don't survive this!"
[...]
"Status window?"
He flinched back when the silver sheen of another window popped into existence right in front of his face. The window was large enough for him to see every information without having to squint at too small text or numbers. There were the usual attributes he knew from his games - charm, agility (which was surprisingly high though it had an asterisk next to it and a lower number in brackets behind that), intelligence, constitution and- hey! why was his strength so low?! - around a general outline of a person.
Then there was a list of general skills that reminded him very much of one of his Dungeons and Dragons sessions and at their end a box of specialisations that fit surprisingly well to what he knew to be his strengths.
Which sadly didn't amount to a lot of fighting experience despite his reputation of being aggressive like a rabid raccoon.
#seikaze#sei's writing#teen wolf#stiles stilinski#it's supposed to be steter eventually - as usual xD#though I'm not sure yet how to get there#we'll see how this will go xD#wip wednesday

like a blow to the head
Gen | 600 words | T
AU-gust Prompt 16: Psychological Horror
Summary: The nogitsune, having gotten its claws into Stiles when he was young, warps him over time into someone very different.
cw: murder
-
At fifteen, Stiles has a hard time remembering his own borders, understanding where he ends and the void begins. Together, they've become a them. Sometimes they forget they were ever a he.
They linger for half a year in the wild stretches of Utah desert, content to be just one of the weird and painful fates a stranger on the road might find. The scorching heat has no effect on them, and neither does the deep chill of the night, the hours when they do their best and bloodiest work.
Following the highway on foot or in the car of a well-meaning stranger, they slip from one impulse to the next. With no set plans to ground them, they take what they want when they want it.
Sometimes, what they want is a dark, cavernous room in some luxury rental home, one with the blackout shades the void prefers for sleeping the brightest hours away. Sometimes, it's stolen craft beer from a local fair after a long day of frightening small children who've strayed too far from their parents. Sometimes, it's leather gloves to ward off the lingering fear they’ll leave bloody fingerprints to be used against them.
At this age, their body is no longer a child’s. With their lanky limbs, they're no longer small and unassuming enough to earn unadulterated trust from bystanders. When they stalk strangers in the dead of night, they earn delicious double-takes and quickening paces.
They're old enough to drive, or at least to get a permit, though they don’t bother. When they kill a politician outside of Moab, they figure out the basics and get his Mercedes down the empty stretch of road winding toward Glen Canyon, abandoning both it and the body in the orange rocks and dry scrub.
They're becoming more themselves with every kill, every break-in, every petty theft. They flex their growing powers, creating the illusions they've so longed to cast, though they can only manage small ones for now.
It’s rare, these days, that they recall they were ever separate beings. But that doesn’t mean it never happens.
They are passing a baseball field in a tiny town in southern Utah, its short grass peppered with grade schoolers at practice. As they step over the duffel bags and baseball bats lining the chain-link fence, an image of their father—no, Stiles’s father—surfaces.
It’s so strange that they stop short. Stiles remembers himself enough to follow the memory’s thread: his father standing at his back, embracing him from behind, hands fisted over Stiles’s on an aluminum baseball bat.
“You pull back like this,” his dad says, pulling the bat back toward their right shoulders. “Annnd…bam!”
He swings their arms forward in a graceful curve, fast enough that Stiles can feel the strength behind the movement, the muscles that create the speed.
Stiles’s hand darts out before they can think it through, grasping the handle of the nearest bat. As they lift it, the weight feels comfortable in their palm. It’s heavy. Heavy enough to hurt.
They walk away with it. Slip it into their backpack. Take it with them when they break into a townhouse, where they finally find the man who leered at them over breakfast.
It’s just as easy to use as they remember. They love the crack of the skull, the satisfying ring of the bat, the low thud as the body falls to the floor.
“Bam,” they say.

Hii! I'd really appreciate if you could recommend me fics where Stiles leaves Beacon Hills and makes new friends. (He may or may not return to BH later) thank you!
I do!
The Truth of It by alisvolatpropiis
(1/1 I 2,158 I Mature I Sterek)
Derek took the picture late one night the summer between Stiles’ junior and senior years of college, the last of their four summers together.
Or not-together. The last of their four summers of whatever it was they were to each other in those years, fucking nonstop and spending nearly every waking moment together for three months at a time, both of them aggressively maintaining the it’s-just-sex-it-doesn’t-mean-anything rule they set their very first time together, the night of the pack’s high school graduation party when, slightly drunk, Stiles kissed him for the first time, determined and eager, heart pounding in Derek’s ears.
Not Your Emissary by sapphireginger
(1/1 I 2,428 I Teen I Steter)
Stiles squeezed his mate’s hand to soothe the angered alpha and watched Scott puff out his chest in a pitiful attempt to be intimidating. “No.”
“NO?!” Scott growled. “What do you mean no? This isn’t negotiable. You're my pack!”
“Am I?” Stiles asked calmly.
Scott hesitated and nodded firmly. “Yes.”
Stiles shrugged one shoulder. “I love Peter and he loves me. I’m not leaving with you, and you can’t make me.”
“Wanna bet?!” Scott snarled.
Peter’s control was rock solid, airtight, never faltering. His presence alone was enough to drive fear into the hearts of most. It was always a turn on to see the alpha put people in their places.
We'll be Better Around the Second Time by Cantabo
(12/12 I 26,589 I Mature I Sterek)
It's been months. Months of fading contact with the pack. Months of the silent treatment from his father. Months of nothing but himself and the occasional lesson with Deaton to entertain him.
It's too much, and eventually, Stiles leaves.
For years, everything goes great, until of course his dad gets injured, and he is suddenly forced to deal with people he thought he left behind in his past for good.
OR: Stiles gets pushed out of the pack, hits the road, makes new friends, learns how to grow up, and falls in love.
Abraca-Fuck-You! by isthatbloodonhisshirt (wasterella)
(1/1 I 28,906 I Mature I Sterek)
“Who needed you?” Stiles asked, uncapping his water.
“Hm?” Cole had been looking out at something in the field, and he focussed back on Stiles then. “What?”
“You said it comes about when someone needs us. Who needed you?”
He probably shouldn’t have asked, because Cole looked sad all of a sudden. Like he hadn’t thought about becoming a Sorcerer in a long time. Stiles could see that being what he was had cost him greatly, and he couldn’t help but wonder if he was going to run into the same problem.
“A friend,” Cole said quietly. “Someone who was very dear to me. But I didn’t get there fast enough.”
Stiles paused in recapping his water, pressing his lips together. “What happened?”
“I waited too long to help them.”
At Our Ex-Spence by sapphireginger
(26/31 I 41,923 I Explicit I Steter)
Stiles is ready to leave Beacon Hell Hole-Beacon Hills-behind. An offer to join the FBI is his ticket out of there. A blue eyed wolf follows along, and Stiles doesn't mind a bit.
On the other side of the US an amber eyed man puts on his glasses and gets out of bed. His first day at the FBI is almost here. "Stu?" the man's girlfriend calls out. "Coming!" he replies and rejoins her in their bedroom.
Stiles is about to start his FBI training. He meets two people of major significance on his first day. Life gets even more complicated, and he has so many questions. However, he's not sure who he trusts to give him the correct answers-to give him the truth.
I've Been Everywhere With You by Leslie_Knope
(10/10 I 61,551 I Explicit I Sterek)
“Dude, you should totally come with me.”
“What? Like on the road trip?"
“No, come with me. To Austin. Get out of Beacon Hills.”
Derek paused. “What?” he asked again.
When It Comes To Being Lucky by sterekcrush
(46/? I 157,701 I General I Sterek)
Derek Hale doesn't do love. He's tried twice; the first time it made him a killer, and the second time cost him his whole world.
So he doesn't do love, and he definitely doesn't love Stiles. He doesn't care about Stiles' new powers or the fact that Stiles has been talking to Derek's dead mother, or even the fact that for some reason supernatural creatures from all over the country are sending Stiles offers of courtship.
But when Stiles claims he's not part of Derek's pack and takes off for parts unknown...well, maybe Derek cares a little after all.
Guardian by Lerya
(100/100 I 202,041 I Mature I Steter)
After Stiles finally realises how little he means to Scott, and how little his opinions and even his research mean to the 'true Alpha', he's had enough. With most of the original Hale pack getting away from the Hellhole that is Beacon Hills, he prepares to do the same. The extra addition wasn't planned, but most welcomed, as was an invite by the counsel.
He could do this, going around the world, helping other Supernaturals, getting to know the world, and learning about himself and the community.
Manipulated by DearDaisy (Scribblesnpaws)
(30/30 I 221,251 I Mature I Sterek)
Nine years ago, Scott kicked Stiles out of the pack. Stiles left and never returned. But now his dad has been hurt, so Stiles returns to take care of him. No one knows the truth of what happened back then, not even Scott or Stiles. But that's about to change.

@like-lazarus kindly tagged me in a “Messy Draft Monday” and even though I’ve been too stressed to be actively working on anything right now, I wanted to share something. So have a little bit of one of the random steter stories floating around in my brain:
Peter finishes loading the last bag into his car and leans against the trunk for a minute. Overall, he feels satisfied. His revenge is complete, plus he’s an alpha, which is a nice little perk.
It’s a little galling to have to leave the Hale territory instead of ruling it, but if he stays here his nephew and that merry little band of budding psychopaths will kill him eventually. He’s lucky, but he’s not that lucky.
The sound of rapidly approaching footsteps catches his ear first, then a quick heartbeat. He knows that heartbeat. He memorized that heartbeat one night that seems so long ago, but really wasn’t that long ago at all.
He turns around.
“Stiles,” he says, low, dangerous. Because he likes Stiles, but Stiles is most likely to come up with a murder plot that will actually work, so he’s not to be trifled with.
The boy pulls up short, staying well back from Peter. He’s breathing hard, and those pretty pink lips are parted, his cheeks flushed. He really is very lovely, Peter thinks.
Stiles has a large duffle bag weighing down one shoulder, his grip on it white-knuckled. “Take me with you,” he says.
Peter blinks. He thought he was beyond being surprised.
“You want me, right?” Stiles goes on. “You wanted to turn me. I can’t let you bite me, but I can be pack. Just take me with you. Let me stay with you and I’ll be pack. I’ll cook too, and clean.”
“Can’t let me bite you?” Peter asks. It’s not the only question he has, but it’s the one that sticks out the most in what Stiles has just laid on him.
“I don’t think so. Maybe? But right now it’s a no.” He bites his lip, taps his fingers on his leg. “Yeah. Definitely a no right now. Maybe forever. But humans can be pack, right?”
Peter doesn’t know why he’s even still standing here. Of course he’s not going to take Stiles with him. “You don’t even know where I’m going,” he says instead of what he should be saying, which is obviously no. It’s definitely not happening.
“I don’t fucking care,” Stiles says, and he sounds suddenly weary. “As long as it’s not here, I’m cool.”
Peter tilts his head. Stiles is such a mix of scents it’s always been hard to get a read on him, but Peter has noticed the anguish that radiates off the boy in waves. It’s a layer that runs under everything else— a steady, overwhelming sadness. “And what would your father have to say about that?” He still doesn’t know why he’s even engaging in it, why he’s giving the boy any hope.
Stiles snorts. “I left him a note that he’ll find whenever he finally realizes I’m gone. He won’t come after me.” He looks down and to the side, his hand clenching into a fist.
“Listen,” Stiles says, and he raises those big brown eyes to look right at Peter, “I can’t stay here anymore. Please. Just please, take me with you. I know I can’t promise not to be any trouble, you’d never believe that, but I can be useful. I can be good for you. I can be pack.”
He’s desperate, and that shouldn’t matter. If it were anyone else it wouldn’t matter, but this is Stiles. Stiles is unusual. He’s interesting. Now that he’s had his revenge, Peter is at a bit of a loose end. Not without plans, never without plans, but the future already looks a little boring. Stiles is many things, but boring isn’t one of them.
Plus, Stiles is the Sheriff’s son, and absconding with the son of the sheriff sounds like a delightfully mischievous, if misguided, end to his run in Beacon Hills. “Alright, you can come along.”
#my writing#steter#wips#I’m usually here for good dad Noah#but listen sometimes you need to take your dad issues out on innocent characters#for both catharsis and plot#also the irony of Peter calling Derek’s pack budding psychopaths is not lost on me

My Writing Masterlist
Since I post on here far more consistently then on ao3 for reasons, I figured I would compile a list of my writing for those who don't like sifting through fandoms they could care less about to get to the good stuff.
Separated by fandom, and somewhat by trope.
Harry Potter:
Harry eats a God.
Harry just can't seem to stay dead. TW: Suicide, character death, frequent character death, torture, murder, disjointed snippets, discontinued + Harry dissociates. Connected, same warnings may apply.
First Encounters: Time loop, Voldemort-as-Quirrell visits the Dursleys and is less than pleased.
First Encounters: The first time Harry meets Voldemort, the man he's been trained to kill all his life, he's nineteen, and Voldemort recognizes him.
Prisoner Harry tells Voldemort about the Dursleys like it's a bedtime story.
Except for the incident, Harry really doesn't tend to talk a lot when he has a concussion. Stream of thought narrative, character injury.
Literally just Empath!Harry spoilers. Harry, at his trial, allowing himself be petty to an extent.
Harry gets drunk, pulled into Voldemort's mind, and decides he wants to share his good mood.
Tea shop AU. + more Tea Shop (weather) AU. + something actually Tea-based under the cut
Four of a Kind AU: Learning to kiss split-scene. Harry/Harry, referenced Harry/Horcrux + They meet. They kiss. What if. Voldemort/Harry + In the aftermath Voldemort/Harry
Kid Fic: Harry ‘dies’ as a child. Mentor!Voldemort, absolutely not a pairing ficlet.
Kid Fic: Harry and Voldemort’s kid lands in the past during a duel at the Ministry. Pre-Harrymort, Micah, not quite the kiss you'd expect.
Female Harry, world-jumping, rationally angry. Tom/Harry intended, if Harry will chill out on the murder.
Harry likes to feel pretty. Horcrux/Harry, Harry wears makeup, etc.
Tom and Harry jump through time to each other. Tomarry, growing up, fluff, brief kissing, Harry’s older
Dragon AU, I have a lot more of this one written, I should dump that some day. Harry/Horcruxes
Harry/Tom: pillow forts, soft angst, unresolved, broken promises
Harry's really fucking sick and tired of being told what the fuck to do.
Tom-after-Voldemort is the first person Harry has ever spoken to. Isolation, lighthearted, odd, old and forgotten.
Harry never imagines the effect getting a boyfriend would have on Riddle. Jealous Tom.
Harry messes with Diary!Tom
Harry and Voldemort have to complete a task based on the colour of the others' robes, for some reason?
Harry is kidnapped and wakes up in an incredibly comfortable bed. Voldemorts knows Harry is his horcrux.
Harry ruthlessly defends Hogwarts against encroaching Death Eaters. Sixth Year.
It's one paragraph guys.
Prompt-based: Tom possesses Harry when he's afraid. Hermione POV.
Prompt-based: Santa forgot about Harry, again.
Prompt-based: Tom watches Harry draw dirty, dirty things at church.
Teen Wolf, all at least peripherally intended as Stiles/Peter
Kid Fic + Genderbend + Time Travel: Stiles is in the past and nobody is raising Malia, so she sure as shit will.
Stiles has known about werewolves since he was nine, and now that he's off the college it seems his dad has gottten involved. No Hale Fire, Protective Stiles
The first thing Kate does when she comes back to Beacon Hills is kidnap Peter. Human!Alpha Stiles, eventual Steter, pre-slash
Stiles has the curse of obedience. Stiles/Peter
Flower shop AU! Ft. Petty Peter and insulting bouquets.
Peter says he hates Stiles. Stiles begs to differ.
Werewolf Stiles wakes up in the middle of Beacon Hills woods naked, and tries to keep it low key from there. Bakery AU, kinda. Peter/Stiles
First Encounters: The Hale pack summons Stiles to the past.
First Encounters: The first time Stiles meets Peter he is drunk. Stiles is a rude, very straight-forward drunk who steps all over issues like dead family and psychosis. It’s like he had a minefield map and is intentionally stepping on every trigger.
Stiles meets Peter in the hospital.
Stiles pulls back because he doesn't want Peter to mess up his dress shirt, not because he doesn't want the bite.
Stiles crochets magic shit. Fluff.
Negotiations go well.
Peter being the literal worst, holy hell, this hurts to read. Have some angst. Past-Stiles/Peter
Okay, my bad for that last one. Have some comfort. Crying, comfort, Stiles & Peter
Dragon Stiles is constantly underestimated.
Stiles beats Peter, sore loser extraordinaire.
Me acting like Stiles has shame for some reason.
Female Stiles gets forcibly genderbent and is not putting up with anybody's shit. Body dysmorphia, shitty friends, anger issues, sexism. Peter/Stiles
Female Stiles and Peter. Shower, soft.
Stiles writes smutty fanfic, as he should.
Stiles being a bad influence on his little self, ft Knowing Himself Too Fucking Well. Time travel AU, torture
Peter walks away.
Peter/Stiles, marking, one of the sexiest things I've ever written imo
Peter is dumb, stupid, silly villain.
Peter’s timing is about as good as Stiles’ filter. Dumb, stupid villain antics.
Stiles threatens Peter, /lh
Stiles is justifiably sad after a movie.
Tony Stark-centric:
Gen: Tony takes after Maria. Few people recognize a predator wrapped up in such Tony packaging.
Gen: Tony bantering with, and teasing, Peter.
Tony Stark uses the infinity stones.
Tony survives the stones.
Tony proposes. In public. In a way that undeniably affirms his feelings. Loki/Tony
Loki meets Morgan for the first time. Loki/Tony, kid fic
Hair Kink—I mean braiding! Aha, ha, ha… Loki/Tony
Female Toni doesn't take well to her children being threatened.
Soulmates? Tony/Loki
Rhodey gives Loki the shovel talk ft. Parks & Rec
Tony saves the day…?
Bleach / Time travel: Ichigo isn't supposed to be here.
The 100: Cage Wallace stages a coup before the forty-eight arrive. (Or: Dante Wallace dies before his time.) This changes everything.
Tagged: 10 Characters, 10 Fandoms, 10 Shorts

Mutiny of the Hardest Order @ AO3
Teen Wolf | Steter | ch7/20 | rating: E (eventually)
AKA The one where Stiles’ dick develops a crush and Peter decides to humor it with some retaliatory light stalking.
Chapter 7: About Wooing Behaviors and Wolven Wiles
Peter was—
He was scent marking him.
A burst of heat ignited in Stiles and he squirmed in his spot, instantly flustered.
He had never thought about how dating a werewolf would entail said werewolf wanting to rub their scent all over you. How they would want to make you smell like theirs. And that Peter was doing that to him? It made an unexpected kind of thrill shiver through him.
“My, what’s got you smelling so delectable all of a sudden?”
Stiles startled at Peter’s voice cutting through his thoughts. He looked over, trying to stomp down on the blush he could feel coloring his cheeks, and did his best to play it cool. “Oh, you know, just thinking about how delectable that burger I’mma get will be. It’s got me pretty excited — probably what you’re smelling.”
He gave Peter his best, most confident shit-eating grin. Peter only tilted his head and raised an eyebrow—which wasn’t at all a promising sign.
“That is not your salivating over food scent,” he flatly denied. “No, I’d say I’m detecting the smell of something more… potent. And spiced.”
“What am I, a cake?!”

Anon here from the last two (presumably). I meant to specify IronStrange for both of those.
But since I’m in your inbox again, might as well get in a third prompt… (Also IronStrange)
“Why do you believe in me? No one else does.”
I confess, the IronStrange prompts so outnumber the Steter prompts that I assume people are asking for IronStrange unless specified. *wry* But I do encourage people to include the pairing, just to be safe!
-
“Why do you believe in me? No one else does.”
Stephen pauses and looks over at Tony. They’re sitting on the couch, eating Chinese food and brainstorming strategies for approaching the next half dozen crises on the Timeline of the Future. After arriving in 2016 Stephen had come straight to Tony for help, so he supposes he can see the relevance of the question, but the phrasing makes him want to smack a few people.
“14 million futures,” Stephen reminds him. “I know from experience that you’re the best person to guide the timeline toward a victory.”
Tony stares at the timeline rather than meet Stephen’s gaze. “14 million failures,” he says.
Stephen puts down his food and turns to face Tony. “Tony, look at me.” It takes a minute, but eventually Tony mirrors Stephen’s position. “You are not solely responsible for saving the future, the universe, the world, or even this city,” Stephen says firmly. “Those 14 million failures are our collective 14 million failures. The Masters of the Mystics Arts are specifically charged with protecting reality, and we didn’t even know Thanos was coming until Bruce fell through the Sanctum’s roof.
“This isn’t a job any of us can do alone,” Stephen goes on. “We need a lot more pieces on the board. But of everyone I met in those 14 million futures, you’re the one who saw it coming. You’re the one who showed he could make sacrifices, solve problems, swallow his pride, have the right person on speed dial, whatever we needed.”
Pausing, Stephen forces himself to take a breath.
“You can’t do this alone,” he says finally, “but the rest of us can’t do it without you.”
Looking into Tony’s eyes, Stephen sees a weight on his soul that he regrets, but it’s the truth.
“Promise me,” Tony says intently, “that you won’t leave me on my own.”
At least he can help bear that weight. “I promise,” Stephen swears, with all the weight a Sorcerer can put on an oath.
A small flare of magic demonstrates just how binding that promise is.
Seeing the gratitude and relief in Tony’s eyes, Stephen doesn’t regret it one bit.

Peter hesitantly shook his head. "You'd think so with their presence in pop culture but no bestiaries mention them. No other books I've read either, and I've searched."
Scott pouted, but Stiles grinned. "Tough luck dude, I was always team Jacob anyways."
The Birthday Wish - 1/1 - T - Harringrove - “You’re just in time, pretty boy,” Billy said, pulling his pack of cigarettes out of the pocket of his denim jacket, followed by his Zippo and a… birthday candle.
“In time for what?” Steve asked, confused as fuck. He didn’t even react to the pet name, he was kinda used to it. Truth be told, he hadn’t heard it for a while, since he wasn’t at school anymore, and he kinda missed it, not that he’d ever admit that to anyone.
“‘m turning eighteen in a few minutes,” Billy said around the cigarette between his lips.
Hospital Blues (and a warm cut of tea) - 1/1 - T - Stommy - “Hey Tommy, It’s Steve, um, but you probably knew that.” The message starts, and Tommy freezes. Feels himself halting in place, right there in the middle of the kitchen. They hadn’t spoken in months. Not since all that shit with the Wheeler chick last year. When she ruined everything. He forces himself to inhale, to breathe again, and listens to the rest of Steve’s message. “I’m just uh, ringing from the hospital."

I have Steter brain worms, so I was thinking, hm, void Stiles is violent in a cold yet brutal way, just like Peter. And Peter usually avoids danger, lurking in the shadows and gathering informations until he has an upper hand. So it's possible he was observing this evil!Stiles, firstly curious, maybe fascinated even. But eventually realized it's not as fascinating if it's not really Stiles and thought about how to fix it and then found/came up with that mind searching method.

Teen Wolf fandom, please help me; I'm going insane.
I'm looking for a Steter fic that starts after Scott accused Stiles of murder, due to Donovan's death, which was accidental. When Scott refuses to hear Stiles out, he leaves a note (maybe a flash drive or something) for his dad and then leaves.
Peter ends up coming with him or finding him, and they get a place out in the woods. Eventually, Stiles' dad finds him and comes to see him. He gets a place behind Peter and Stiles' place, and becomes a Ranger.Malia also moves into a place behind them, and there's a coyote den on her property that she adores.
Deaton is evil, and Mallory isn't his sister, she's actually his granddaughter, and she poisons him because he killed her parents. Scott also, mostly due to Melissa, ends up apologizing to Stiles.

Can you tell us about the Non-con mating bite, Steter? I'm 👀👀👀
Ooh! Yeah, that's a fun (dark) one. Stiles and Peter meet on the lacrosse field just like in S1, and Stiles convinces Peter to let him call for help for Lydia and drive to the parking garage. This means he makes the mistake of thinking he has power over Peter.
Stiles gets sick of Peter monologuing and drops the line:
“Either kill me or bite me or just shut the fuck up. I can’t stand listening to you - “
So Peter obliges. He fucks Stiles right there in the parking garage and then gives him a mating bite (that does NOT turn him bc Peter doesn't want them on equal footing). Peter keeps Stiles as his mate/as a pet, and continues his killing spree and more, eventually taking them out of Beacon Hills.

20 Questions for fic writers
Tagged by @dear-massacre
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
Twenty-one. Twenty fics and one weird standalone soundtrack, lol.
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
195,750.
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Just Teen Wolf so far, but I maybe I'll get around to some ideas I have for The Sandman or something else one day.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Thunder (Sterek. 12.1k. Explicit. Depressed loner Derek meets on-the-run Werefox/Kitsune Stiles in rural Montana.)
The Cold Moon (Sterek, 40.6k. Explicit. Part one of a story where Stiles is forced across a mysterious boundary by Hunters and encounters a semi-feral Alpha Derek. My first published fic.)
Second Chance Strays (Sterek, 8.5k. Explicit. Mage Stiles, Derek, & Larem the deer alone in the wilderness. A Fuck or Die situation ensues when a darach attacks.)
CLAIM! (Sterek, 11.9k, Explicit. Misunderstandings and making up after Derek & Stiles meet at Jungle and hook-up.)
Customer Service (Sterek, 10.9k. Explicit. Surly barista omega Derek and human college student Stiles. Banter, vulgar latte art, and heat sex. Dominant Derek, Service Top Stiles.)
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Yes! Sometimes it takes a while, but comments are appreciated and I know I like getting responses.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I guess Amīca (Derissa) because it's an unresolved pre-relationship fic that's meant to be the first In a series. I've been a happy ending gal, so no real angsty ones so far. The angst is in the beginning and/or middle!
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
The rest of them? 😂
8. Do you get hate on fics?
I haven't yet. Knocks on wood.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Yes. Most of my fics have smut at some point, lol. Or belong to series that do/will.
Um, barebacking and creampie/breeding. Cum eating or play and marking in general, including hickeys and biting.
Virgin/first time bottoming, praise kink, light degradation, and knotting are also in a number of stories. Some spanking, bondage and pinning, and generally low-key dominance and submission. Chasing and claiming and a few omegaverse or just self-lubrication. (I have plans for more.)
All M/M or M/M/M so far, but I have WIPs and notes with other combinations. I have a bunch of Kinktober bits from 2022 to turn into fics that I'm both nervous and excited about. And lots of other ideas too.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
Not yet, but I have a summary for a Sterek Teen Wolf/The Sandman crossover.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I'm aware of.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Nope.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
No. Sounds both fun and kinda scary.
14. What’s your all time favourite ship?
Sterek is what finally got me into fanfiction and the whole shipping fandom thing a few years ago, so I gotta go with them. I enjoy a bunch of others from Teen Wolf too (especially Steter, Stetopher, and Sterek + various people) and from other fandoms.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I currently intend to finish all my WIPs, but who knows what the future will hold. I have 3 posted WIPs that I definitely plan to complete: The Wolf Moon, The Depths, and 15 Shades of Red. I have dozens of unposted ones that I also hope to finish...eventually.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Apparently dialogue, world building, characters' inner thoughts, and being funny sometimes. Coming up with ideas.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Epithets. It's just tricky when the characters have the same pronouns and I hate writing their names over and over. (I don't mind when other people do it though, so 🤷🏽♀️. But then I'll be like, "I can't say Derek three times in this paragraph!")
I've started looking for ones to remove whenever I edit now (and I'm cringing thinking about earlier stories that I should re-edit at some point,) but I still use some and am self-conscious about it.
Also, sometimes I info dump, but that doesn't bother me so much. Boom, here's a bunch of background now let's get on with it, lol.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I've used a few words in Polish here and there in some stories, but I probably wouldn't try to write whole conversations in another language unless I was familiar with it or could ask someone about it.
There's some Patois/Patwah in Irie, which was interesting to write because there's no one set spelling of many words, so it was part looking at common ones and part "What did it sound like/how was it phrased when this relative or family friend said something like this?"
19. First fandom you wrote for?
I vaguely recall thinking up scenes, dialogue, background, etc, for a story with Byakuya Kuchiki/Shūhei Hisagi from Bleach approximately 5 billion years ago when I was a teenager, but I don't remember if I ever actually wrote anything. Definitely didn't finish or publish anything. So...Teen Wolf.
20. Favourite fic you’ve written?
Hmm. I can't say that I have a favorite. I only started actually writing from my list of fic ideas around 16 months ago, IIRC. Maybe if I look back on them all after enough time passes I'll be able to pick one out (though knowing me...still probably not,) but right now they're all just...floating around in my head and also mixed with the particular experiences of writing them, idk.
Here's a recent one that was fun to write:
Legs (Sterek, 4.3k. Explicit. Snark and smut after college students Derek and Werecreature Stiles cross paths at the mall.)
If you want to play along, tag, you're it!

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love ❤
Curious what ur fav fics of yours are? 👀🖤🩷
Like ever?Like my five favorite fics of ever? oh boy ok lemme pull up the list
Well immediately I Bit Him so He's Mine is coming to the top of the list which isn't even done yet but is sitting rn at around 40k, is my longest project ever and officially novel length. Between the writing a murder mystery, writing a low fantasy adventure, the gothic/fairytail romance, the hyde wednesday/hyde tyler scenes, the subplots, and the fact that I'm not able nor do i want to rely on psychic visions for information, this is the most involved and exciting project I've probably ever done. Before Wednesday, I hadn't really sat down and written a proper drawn out mystery plot and this is the first where there were no psychic visions either. It's also officially longer than my Absolution novella which is not on this list just because that fic was one of the first I ever wrote and it shows. (though it is special to me because of that)
2. I'll add Wandering in the Dark because it was born of a prompt that my hs senior english teacher gave the class for a project that'd been anticipated (or dreaded depending on who you were) all semester. Basically, we all got to draw a disease (chronic I believe or at least mine was) out of a hat and then just do whatever we wanted writing a story with it. He gave me complete creative freedom. I wrote steter fanfiction which is also why it reads for someone who isn't familiar with teen wolf. I got an A.
3. My Lost Soul (Lead Me to Redemption) was my baby for a long time. It was one of the first pieces I ever wrote in a creative writing class which I then rewrote as sterek fanficiton and evolved into a whole series with Derek, Stiles, and Peter becoming the Hale Pack again. My writing style and quality drastically changes from beginning to end and there's something special about getting to see that firsthand reading this series. I'm sure it would only have continued if I hadn't lost steam for the story.
4. This is not a fair game. I'm not even left my teen wolf list yet.
4. I suppose I'll put Have You Seen Me? because idk I just like it. I like it a lot. I like exploring Tyler immediately after the cave. I like the title and the way the summary is just Tyler's wanted poster. I like how it leads into Wednesday going to Nevermore and I like how they interact with each other and Tyler being an Addams
5. Hold Me Close and it's sister fic Pin Me Down (to be posted) will have to take place as well. I'm counting both because I love them for the same reason. I've been writing officially since 2016 and for at least as long I always knew that I would eventually write my own fuck or die/sex pollen fic and that I'd take the approach of approaching the potential trauma and very present vulnerability present in the premise. Plus, the sex marathon aspect was a good writing challenge to stretch out the sex scene long enough to actually feel like a marathon reading it. Hold Me Close's sex scene was around 3000 words. Pin Me Down's sex scene is 3455 words long.
Honorable mentions for an abandoned multi-chap from high school that I hadn't thought about for years solely because I recently went to a convention where I met a lot of local authors and talked their ears off about writing and the genres we do and our current projects (and I had plenty due to wyler week and the bingo) and this one author recognized my ao3 alias and loved the fic in question. Mark Me an Angel for the hannigram fandom which also is a good example of why you plan a basic plot/direction when you start something.

Hello! I'm trying to find a fic about Stiles. I remember he was learning about programming/hacking and Danny helped him at some point. Eventually Stiles gets on the dark web and makes a few friends there who he contacts for help with information on magical creatures to help the pack. Stiles is magical, maybe a spark but I can't remember, and he has a bunch of magical books and he's training to have stronger magic. I think some of the books were originally his moms? But I may be mixing that up with a different fic.
Hi @theedenserpent! @chizzchizz says it's this one. (posted the wrong one early. soooorrry.)
Do. Or do not. There is no try. by FeelingsDusk
(1/1 I 9,534 I Teen I Steter)
Deaton refuses to teach Stiles anything useful about magic, so Stiles does research om his own and stumbles on a forum/SoMe site for supernaturals. Maybe he finds friends and/or peole willing to teach him the basics. And then things go south in BH.

Late WIP Wednesday
I was tagged by the dear @whimsicalmeerkat ! 💕
I'm still working mostly on my Steter Secret Santa and I'm not gonna show you something from that, so have a bit more from the next chapter of The little things under the cut! xD
Low/No-pressure tags for: @aurevell, @meggie-stardust, @like-lazarus 💕
"So you don't have that much choice if you lose your Alpha but to submit to the next? And what does that say about you? Are you alright with submitting to Peter? Or… I don't know. Are you going to leave eventually? When it becomes too much? Or not enough?"
His thoughts seemed to run away from Stiles and he shook his head as well as his hand to keep Derek from answering.
"Ignore the other questions. Just. Do you intend to submit to Peter?"
Derek pressed his lips together and shrugged.
"I don't know."
Wonderful.
