Stiles Stilinski Chronicles

A while back I wrote a dark pack fic called Stiles Stilinski, Force of Nature and just yesterday someone asked if I’d be interested in writing a part two.. and I was. Here’s the link to the series on AO3, now called Stiles Stilinski Chronicles for anyone who may be interested!

Part One: Stiles Stilinski, Force of Nature

Stiles had caught Peter’s eye because he was a force of nature. The entire world seemed to be able to shift on its axis under the command of the young Stilinski.

Peter had caught Stiles’ eye because he was intelligent. Peter Hale could convince just about anyone that the sky was pink just because he’d said it in the right way, of course that is manipulation, but it all comes back to intelligence. Stiles admired him. He also knew that if there was anyone that would refuse to cower from what he’d become, it was Peter, so he showed him.

OR: Stiles and Peter are slightly in love and accidentally build a pack for themselves

Part Two: Stiles Stilinski, Spark for Hire

Stiles has a life to live after testing out of school, not liking the atmosphere there now that things are tense between him and Scott, and his Alpha has gotten him into therapy, and he's trying to find his place in the adult world. Then, some old friends come back to town for a visit

Tags: Peter Hale/Stiles Stilinski, Ethan/Jackson Whittemore, Chris Argent/Sheriff Stilinski, Magical Stiles Stilinski, Spark Stiles Stilinski, Sheriff Stilinski's Name is Noah, Jackson Whittemore is a Hale, Good Peter Hale, Good Theo Raeken, Good Jackson Whittemore, Good Friend Lydia Martin

teen wolf is essentially a show where all the bad guys look at little golden boy scott mccall and say "you will stoop to our level eventually, naïve child". then scott looks at all of them, goes "no. fuck you," and does it better than them.

TEEN WOLF MEME: three villains → the alpha pack

“do i have to remind you what we're up against here? a pack of alphas—all of them killers.”

Does anyone else ever just think about how absolutely WILD season 3a was? I totally understand how the alpha pack and the Darach were intrinsically connected to each other, but holy crap! Scott and the others had to deal with so much in such a short time. Literal human sacrifices, a dark Druid, the history of Beacon Hills itself coming back to haunt them, a DEMON alpha wolf, and all the other alphas. I know that there’s essentially two Big Bads for every season (I’m differentiating between the a and b seasons too), but 3a did probably the best job (or at least my favorite) at showing how the pack was literally besieged on both sides. And even by two sides who mostly just wanted to destroy each other by the end of the season (Darach v Demon Wolf). Maybe it’s just because I’ve been rewatching 3a most recently, but I think that this season is probably the most effective at telling the story of two separate Big Bads while simultaneously connecting them to each other. It could be the history behind the season lending itself particularly well to connecting the alphas and the Darach, but I’m also of the opinion that if the story was focused mainly on anyone else besides Scott, there wouldn’t be as equal a focus on each Big Bad (yes yes, I know the alpha pack’s backstory is literally cobbled together on the back of a napkin, I’m more referring to the pack Summit organized by Talia Hale). Because on one hand, Scott’s got the Hale pack getting him involved with the alpha pack (yes, I know, Derek didn’t directly involve him from the start, but it’s the principle of the thing and besides, Scott McCall literally couldn’t ever leave his friends/allies to die when he could help), and on the other, he’s got Stiles working the human sacrifice angle while Lydia is repeatedly finding the bodies. Something something Scott being the bridge between what will become the two sides of his pack (and goddammit, I don’t care if Boyd is dead and Cora is gone by the time Scott really steps into his True Alpha role - they ARE part of the McCall Pack). I have so much love for season 3 as a whole, and I think that we as a fandom should appreciate 3a more because 3b gets a lot of (deserved) love, but 3a is literally like my Captain America: Civil War. It’s not perfect and some parts make me want to tear my hair out, but it’s really just so good, and it’s the season our lil Scott becomes an alpha!!! How can you NOT love it just for that?

@nolanhollogay

I made an aesthetic board for the hc of Deucalion and the older members of the alpha pack adopting Tara, Theo, Ethan, and Aiden.

So here's the most ABSOLUTELY unhinged and fucked up (but also one of the most happiest) families in Beacon Hills!

Some of y’all bout to be real mad at me…

But it must be said

Kali was that girl. Idc. Idc. Kali is arguably the second scariest in the alpha pack (behind Deucalion). Do I like her? No. She killed Boyd and Erica. I loved them both. I truly think their stories were cut too short, but I gotta respect she stands on business. Y’all know when Druski said “I’m the type of nigga to stand on business nigga, one man army against fifty nigga”? That’s her. And what made her great is it was so obvious she was a better fighter than Derek. That man was 0 for 3, and we as an audience were expecting him to pull through but he never did. Derek left town. Kali was already a savage but once Ennis died?

I know I said I don’t like her but honestly, she’s my favorite in the entire pack. She came, she slayed then was slayed. RIP to feet claws.

[ This was toooooo good to not share😋]

okay okay okay i have a half-baked theory, hear me out.

so we know deucalion aka The Demon Wolf can do this to his face

and there’s never really any explanation as to (a) why he can shift like that, or (b) why none of the other alphas or werewolves seem to have that ability.

BUT. we do see this type of Dark Shift (that’s what i’m calling it) happen one other time in the show:

in 4x10, “Monstrous,” when scott loses control and is on the verge of murdering that guy.

what else do we know? well, about deucalion, not a lot, but we know that prior to being blinded, he was an intelligent and respectable alpha who had a vision of peace and enough faith in humanity that he tried to make peace with gerard argent. of all people. we don’t know how old deucalion is or how long he’s been a werewolf, but if it’s true that he bit and turned alexander argent in 1977 (which we see in the opening scene of 3x05, “Motel California,” and which is later confirmed by gerard), that means he would have to have been an alpha for at least ~40 years.

outside of deucalion lore, we also know that this Dark Shift doesn’t happen to just any werewolves on the brink of murder, because it doesn’t happen to liam in the 5A finale when he almost kills scott. as far as canon goes, aside from deucalion, the Dark Shift only happens to one other person/werewolf - scott mccall, True Alpha.

so here’s my theory: before he was corrupted, Deucalion was a True Alpha.

think about it: we know deucalion had certain traits characteristic of a True Alpha before he was ambushed by gerard. he valued peace even in the midst of allies all clamoring for war. he wanted to see the best in his enemies (gerard) and to believe them capable of change. we know True Alphas are rare, but obviously scott wasn’t the first. it would make sense that any existing True Alpha would have a certain renown, and deucalion certainly had renown, both before and after being ambushed.

so for the sake of argument, let’s say deucalion was a True Alpha. he earned his power, became an alpha in his own right simply by strength of character, without ever having to kill. we know you can’t become a True Alpha if you kill someone before you can advance to that level, but what about after? what happens if a True Alpha kills someone?

i doubt you lose your alpha status/spark. that wouldn’t really make sense. instead, i think that maybe when a True Alpha corrupts by intentionally taking a life, the werewolf part of them corrupts too. it withers. it darkens. and it turns their shift into something even less human, but also less werewolf - more demon than anything.

this also fits in with that s4 scene with scott, because that scene is the only one where scott comes close to actually murdering someone. the Dark Shift starts to take over, but then, importantly, he stops, and doesn’t actually kill the guy he’s attacking. and the Dark Shift recedes, and we never see it on scott again. he never gets that close to killing someone again.

also ALSO! if deucalion was a True Alpha, but then was corrupted, that would even further explain (a) how he seemed to be so knowledgeable about True Alphas even without knowing scott at all and (b) why he was so desperate to corrupt scott. in morrell’s words, psychologically speaking deucalion both “desires” scott (as a reminder of what he once achieved) and is “threatened by” scott (as someone who is still capable of becoming a True Alpha and thus being “better” than deucalion himself, who is a former True Alpha, now corrupt). 

and as morrell says, if the obsessive can’t have the object of his desire, then he will choose to destroy it instead. think of scott in the beginning of season 4, feeling so threatened by liam’s skill in lacrosse that he accidentally plays too hard and injuries him. i mean, hell, think back to season 1, with jackson feeling threatened when scott suddenly becomes way better at lacrosse than he is. remember this quote?

“Do you know what it's like to be the best player on the team? To be the star? To have every single person at the game chanting your name? And then... some kid... some kid just comes along, and then everyone starts looking at him instead of you. Do you know what that feels like? [...] Well, it feels like something's been... it feels like something's been stolen from you. And then you start to feel like you'd do anything-- anything in the world-- to get it back.”

for deucalion, scott becoming a True Alpha would be a taunting reminder of everything he lost, the person he used to be, the person that was ripped from him along with both his literal and metaphorical vision. deucalion having been a True Alpha makes his obsession with scott - and specifically with corrupting scott - make a whoooole lot more sense.

TL;DR: Deucalion was a True Alpha before he corrupted by killing his own beta, and intentionally taking a life caused his werewolf form to turn dark and evil-looking. this is also what starts to happen to scott in season 4, but it never takes because scott doesn’t actually go through with killing the guy.

it makes me sad that theres so much scott mccall hate like hes just a guy hes my best friend he's a teenaged boy. he was man of the house and then man of the pack and then man of beacon hills. his first love died in his arms. he wants the world to be good but it isnt so he tries to be. i think he's sad a lot. he's about love and trust and hope and yeah maybe naivete but all his enemies end up taking bullets for him so maybe he's not the fool.

Summary:

Tis beauty I have nare seen before but to admire it is no chore. I see both the inside and the out. For him I’m on my knees. To him I’m most devout. ~ Duke Gajos

Bad Things Happen Bingo: Make an Example of Them

@badthingshappenbingo​

Bingo #3!!  🙂

The Alpha Pack for a profile, or Theo

Alpha pack: We're looking for a group of unsubs who are physically fit and share a pack mentality. Their primary M.O. is similar to that of the family annihilator, and the initiation ritual for this group is particularly brutal: the complete annihilation of one's own family, both biological and social. They believe the act of destroying the family makes them stronger, liberating them from traditional structures and expectations and freeing them to act out their most brutal impulses without consequence.

Like all packs, this one has a leader, a dominant personality that holds sway over the others. He is a white male, older, and criminally sophisticated. He has given himself the title 'Demon Wolf,' which tells us that he views himself as a predator, enjoys the chaos and fear created by their murders, and is narcissistic. He gets off on the attention paid to their crimes by the media and will likely try to communicate or otherwise engage with the media if he feels they aren't getting enough air time.

The Demon Wolf's antics may create tension within the group. Unlike a typical criminal pack, he has recruited other dominant personalities to his team. They may defer to him as their leader, but they will question him if his actions put them at risk or conflict with their own agendas. It's unlikely that we will be able to capture the whole group together. As law enforcement applies more pressure, the pack is likely to fracture, and the more clever members will use the ensuing chaos as cover to flee.

Theo: The unsub is a white male, young enough to be or pass as a high school student. Because we cannot diagnose those under 18 as psychopaths, we term him either a psychopath or a "budding psychopath," depending on his age. He is unable to empathize with others and feels no guilt for his actions. However, he is charming and able to appear normal to others, at least for a time. He derives pleasure from manipulating those around him and killing under their noses without arousing suspicion. His kills are meticulously planned and organized, which originally lead us to profile him as older. His maturity suggests that he lacked adequate parental care as a child and had to become independent at a young age. He may resent his victims for having easier lives, compared to his own. The brutality of his recent kills suggests he may be devolving or nearing his endgame.
