Tumblr media Tumblr media
Their Target outing wasn’t planned. Calum had seen on Claudia’s snapchat that she was still in town and that she didn’t go to Rosarito with her friends for spring break. So he worked up the courage to ask her what fabric softener she used. A phone call later, consisting mostly of her laughing at how he pronounced ‘Suavitel’, they jokingly agreed to meet in an hour at the Target that’s half way between his house and her place in Long Beach. 
Calum smiled to himself seeing her emerge out of her car in his grey Santa Cruz hoodie. He had let her borrow it when they went to Roscoe’s and she got cold. She joked about how it was now hers and that he's never going to get it back. He didn't mind that. For all he cared she could take all his clothes. He also didn't mind that she sent him a few pictures in just his clothes. 
Claudia grabbed a shopping cart and followed Calum around. They stopped by the grocery aisle first and filled up on some snacks the guys needed for tomorrow. They were going to reshoot the music video for their song ‘Who Do You Love.’since the editor lost the original video. 
The song received mixed reviews. Some people praised The Chainsmokers for working with 5SOS because they’re pretty much an unproblematic group. But people wondered why 5SOS would work with The Chainsmokers since they don’t have the best track record. Even Claudia was surprised the guys worked with them, but she did like the song, especially Calum’s solo. 
After getting Michael’s vegan cheese crackers, they went to the cleaning aisle. Calum grabbed some puppy trash bags for Duke. They went a little further down and reached the detergent and fabric softener. Claudia posed like Will Smith showing off Jada in front of the Suavitel.
“Tada!” She said happily. 
“You’re such a dork.” Calum teased. He grabbed his phone out of his pocket and snapped a picture of her. 
Claudia smiled at him and flipped her hair over her shoulder. She got down to the bottom shelf and dove inside the shelf. The vanilla scented fabric softener was all the way inside the shelf. She used to use the blue one, but recently in the past year it got super waterdown so she just switched to the vanilla one. Her mom uses the yellow one, but she never got the vibe for it. 
Calum was answering a message and when he looked down to Claudia, all he saw was her ass. Her leggings were thin around her ass, making her cheeky panties visible through them. He cleared his throat and tried looking away, but he couldn’t. Him and his left hand were going to have fun when he goes to bed tonight.
She set the gallon-sized bottle in the cart. “Where to next?” She asked him.
“Office supplies?” 
“Oh my god, yes. I need pens.” She nodded enthusiastically. 
She stood on the railing of the bottom basket as Calum pulled the cart. She squealed when he would do a sharp turn, almost knocking her out of the cart.
Calum went to where the journals were while Claudia was getting her pens. When she went back to find him, she saw the good paper she used in stock. She grabbed three packs and followed Calum to the line. 
While she waited in line, she realized that she only had a ten dollar bill. She had left her card and other cash in her purse at him. 
“I’ll be right back. I’m gonna put these back.” Claudia told Calum.
“Why?” He asked, confused. He saw how her face lit up when she was holding her school supplies.
“I only have ten bucks. The pens themselves cost fifteen.” She explained.
“I can buy them for you.”
“Oh my god, no. I can get them later.” 
“It’s fine,” he said, taking her pants and paper. He placed them on the conveyor belt with his groceries. 
“Okay let me just venmo you then.” She said, pulling out her phone from her hoodie. 
“Claudia, they’re just pens and paper.” 
“No, they're the uni-ball 207 Retractable Gel Pen 8-pack and 5-Star college ruled binder paper, Cal.” She explained to him as if that was going to make a difference to him.
“Don’t worry about it.” He said, taking her phone and putting it back in her pocket.
He paid and they were on their way back to their cars. He noticed how she smiled to herself. He placed the things in the back of his car and went back to his side. They both stood awkwardly not wanting their outing to end. 
Claudia stood on her tippy toes and kissed Calum. It took him a second to realize what she was doing, but when he did. He deepened the kiss. He pushed her back against her car and held on to her waist. She moaned into his mouth wanting more of him. 
A siren blared behind them, making them jump. 
“Take it home kids.” the security guard said before rolling away in their gold cart. 
Calum and Claudia giggled. 
“I’ll see you tomorrow?” Calum asked. 
“Yeah, I may or may not have made a chocoflan.” Claudia said, wrapping her arms around him. 
“You’re the best, you know that right?”
“I’ve been told.” 
She got on her tippy toes once more to kiss him, but this time it was a quick peck. After agreeing that he was going to pick her up at seven, she got in her car and drove home.
It felt weird that she was the only one home. Her housemates had gone back home to see their families. Claudia was going to go to Rosarito with her brother and their friend group, but at the last minute she cancelled. Paco was going to go, and she wanted to avoid drama. She knew that after a few cantaritos she was going to say something that she wouldn’t say if she were sober. 
She knew she wasn’t going to miss much. Since they were high school seniors they would go down to Rosarito to party and hang out. One of her friend’s parents owned a beach house so they didn’t worry about going to bars or clubs. They would all just drink there or hang out at the beach. 
She was kinda happy to be home. It gave her a chance to hang out with Calum before he left for New York. 
She still couldn’t believe he bought her pens and paper. And the good brands at that. She didn’t even use them when she was on campus because she knew if she let someone borrow her pens, she’s not going to get them back. So she always carries the BIC ones in her backpack. 
When she got to her room she took off his hoodie and her bralette. She opened up the pen back and sat on her desk chair. She fixed the lighting around her desk, making sure it got her good side. She pulled out her phone and angled herself so Calum got a good shot of her breasts. She used one of the pens to hide her nipple, since the other was covered by her hair. She took a few with other pens and sent them to him, thanking him for the pens and paper. 
She threw her phone and herself into her bed and squealed into her pillow. She knew she was being bold, but she didn’t care. She was just giving him a taste of what he'd be getting if they were an official couple. 
Claudia propped herself against her pillows and let her mind wonder. She played with her breasts a little, squeezing them, gently pulling her nipples. After she teased herself a bit, her hands wandered down her body until they reached her panties. She slipped them off and rubbed herself. 
She imagined Calum was the one touching her. Her mind went back to Valentine’s Day when Calum spent the night. Her fingers imitated the way Calum took her. It felt good, but her fingers couldn’t compare to his. 
She immediately moaned out for him as she got closer to climax. She pulled her fingers out and reached for her vibrator. She set it to the lowest setting and slid her fingers inside once more. She whimpered and cried his name when she came. She increased the speed and rubbed it all over her. her moans and whimpers got louder. 
Once her high faded, she turned off her vibrator and went to sleep.
***
Calum's leg bounced and the tea he drank was not calming him down. He was in the middle of getting himself off when he got Claudia's messages and accidental phone call. The only thing on his mind were her moans and whimpers. That was a lie, he ended up writing a few lines for a song that has been in his mind. So along with her moans and whimpers, the words 'I hear you callin' out my name, I love the sound, I love the taste,' were stuck in his head.
Nonetheless, he couldn't look her in the eye when he picked her up. Nor engage in the small talk. It also didn't help that she wore a sundress with a slit, giving him a good view of her new tattoo. Well he couldn't really decipher it, but he knew she got a new tattoo. The few times he was lucky enough to be in between her thighs, he never saw a tattoo in that area. 
"Is this for me?" She asked, breaking the silence. She pointed at the matcha latte he had also bought. 
"Yeah,"  he nodded. 
"Thanks." she smiled at him. 
Claudia took the drink and sipped it. She sighed and pulled out her phone. She played Tetris, annoyed with Calum. She didn't get it. Yesterday was great and now he was avoiding her. He didn't even mention her pictures. It made her feel slightly embarrassed. Did she cross the line? Did she seem desperate to him? Was she doing too much? Those were questions she needed to be answered, or she was going to go into a downward spiral where she would end up embarrassing herself. 
Calum parked next to Michael's car and got out. He opened the back and grabbed the bags from yesterday. Claudia followed him with a box of White Claws. Everyone shared a look seeing the couple that's not a couple but is a couple showing up together. More because they didn't know Calum was bringing Claudia. 
KayKay pulled Claudia into a hug and guided her to the couch. They made small talk while the guys got ready. 
Claudia watched as the makeup artist flirted with Calum. She felt slightly uncomfortable so she walked out to the bathroom. 
Calum followed her through the mirror and frowned. 
"I'm gonna need you to take off your shirt so I can get your neck and chest." the make-up artist told him. 
He knew that tone and it took everything in him not to roll his eyes. One thing he hated was when people acted unprofessional. It's like they all thought that all bands hooked up with everyone with legs. 
He huffed and took off his t-shirt. 
"Fuck, Claudia got you good." KayKay teased. 
Calum flipped her off, making her laugh. He knew she wasn't wrong. Their little makeout session last night got hot and heavy. He did even notice until he woke up. Luckily with seeing all of his hickies, the makeup artist stopped their flirting and did their job. 
Calum got out to use the bathroom. Outside the bathroom he heard Alex and Drew talking.
"If she showed up with him then maybe they are a thing." Alex reasoned.
"I asked Luke and he said they're not dating." Drew argued back. 
"But they can still be a thing."
"Whatever."
Calum heard their steps fade away. He got out of the stall and washed his hands. He went back to the dressing room and frowned when he found Drew talking to Claudia. He walked over to them and pushed himself in between them. 
"Hi," Claudia smiled at him. She pushed herself onto him and intertwined their fingers together. "Can we go to your car? I think I left my portable charger there."
"Yeah." He nodded. 
He patted Drew's shoulder as they walked past him. He whispered into Ashton's ear that they'll be back in time for him to record. It earned them a chuckle and condom from Ashton. 
Calum watched Claudia climb in the backseat, making him confused. She didn't put anything in the backseat. So he followed suit. 
"Thanks for butting in back there." Claudia said quietly. 
"You're welcome. I overheard him and Alex talk while I was taking a piss. I had to."
"You'd think he'd remember his ex's little cousin." 
"What?" 
"Yeah. He briefly dated my cousin Vanessa back in 2016. She was going to be in the Closer music video and everything. But she dumped him." 
"Shit."
"I know. It's also one of the reasons why I don't like them." She giggled. 
Claudia felt Calum's eyes on her so she not so subtly stretched her legs, showing off her tattoo and the lack of panties. 
"When did you get your tattoo?" He asked. 
"Oh, this?" She answered, feigning innocence. She opened the slit more and jutted her hips to him, so she basically straddled his leg. "A few days after Valentine's Day."
"May I?"
"Go for it."
Calum traced her tattoo with his index finger. It was a simple tattoo of the sun and moon with arrows and stars vertically aligned. But on her it was breathtaking. 
Claudia sat on his thigh and wrapped her arms around him. She pulled him into a kiss. They kissed slowly as if Calum wasn't supposed to be out on set in twenty minutes. She pushed him back into the door and motioned him to take off his shirt. 
Calum hesitated. This not where he wanted them to have sex for the first time. It was going to be her first time and he didn't want her to think back to this time and cringe. 
"We're not having sex." He said, gently pushing her away. 
"Okay." Claudia scoffed.
She laughed nervously. She adjusted the strap of her dress. She climbed off his lap, frustrated. She felt rejected. She wasn't planning on having sex with him and the fact that he thought of it and pushed her away, made her feel embarrassed. 
"I'm going back to the dressing room." she said. She got out of the car and slammed the door shut. 
"Wait, Claudia." Calum called after her, but the director called him and the rest. 
He just hoped that he didn't fuck up his chance with her. 
***
"We're going." Ashton yelled to Calum. 
After filming the music video, the guys, KayKay and Claudia all went back to Calum's house for a barbecue. Calum knew he fucked up when Claudia asked Ashton to ride with him while she went with KayKay. The whole time they avoided each other until now where it was just the two of them and Duke. 
When Calum came back he found Claudia in the kitchen washing dishes. 
"I can wash them." He said getting her attention. 
"It's fine, I just have a few left." She said, not turning back to him. 
Calum grabbed a towel and dried the dishes. Five minutes later they finished. 
"I'm going to order an Uber." She said softly. 
"I can give you a ride home."
"Why did you say that we weren't going to have sex?" She asked him, ignoring his offer. "I felt so humiliated."
"I didn't want your first time in the back seat of my car." 
"Well it's not your place to decide. It's mine. For the record I was just gonna give you a blowjob." Claudia stomped away to the living room to get her portable charger. 
Calum followed her, frowning. "I kinda have a say where I have sex too. You're not fucking yourself. Well last night you were, but in the car—"
"How did you know what I was doing last night?"
"You buttdailed me."
"Oh god," 
Claudia squatted down, embarrassed, and covered her face. She cried. She couldn't do anything right with Calum. For once she wants her almost sex encounters with him not end with her crying. He sat down next to her and wrapped his arm around her. She buried her face into his chest as she cried. 
"If it makes you feel better, it was pretty hot. Especially after seeing those pictures." he said, not sure how to stop her from crying. 
Claudia stopped crying. She pulled away and looked at him. "Really?"
"Honest. That's why I was so nervous when I picked you up."
"That's nice to hear." She said quietly, earning a chuckle from him.
Calum laid down and pulled Claudia next to him. They laid together in silence, enjoying each other's presence. She wedged her leg between his and draped her arm over his tummy. He gently rubbed her thigh, slowly inching his hand to where she wanted him. He slid his hand back to her knee. He did it once more, but this time she pushed his hand higher up. 
"Please," Claudia begged. She opened up legs, giving him enough room to do what he wanted. 
Calum picked her up and carried her to the couch. He sat down and pulled her to his lap. He spread their legs so his hand could have better access to her. He groaned, feeling how ready she was for him. 
"Forgot you weren't wearing panties." he said. 
"I was going to wear a lace teddy, but this dress was backless." she explained. 
"I'm not complaining."
Calum kissed her shoulder, pushing down the thin straps down her shoulders. He did the same to the other and toyed with her breasts through her dress. His pants tightened, hearing her moan. He continued touching her, making her whine whenever he briefly touched her core. 
"All day, I thought about slipping my fingers in you whilst you sat on my lap." Calum whispered. His hand once more made its way up to her core. "No one would notice my fingers—"
Claudia gasped feeling his ring and middle finger inside of her. 
"Inside of you."
She clung to the blue and gold sleeve of his jacket. After they filmed the music video, they left in their clothes. Claudia didn't mind. To her he looked like a prince. 
Calum pressed his thumb to her clit and sped up his fingers. Claudia whined and placed her head on his shoulder. But he gently held her up by her neck. 
"Eyes on me, pretty girl." He said. 
“Shit—Calum!” She whimpered. 
She gripped his hand as she came. Once her high faded, Calum let go and let her lean into him. He slipped his fingers out of her and licked them clean, moaning at how delicious she tasted. 
After a few minutes, Claudia got off his lap and got down on the floor to her knees. She took advantage that Calum was spread out and situated herself in between his legs. She tied her hair into a bun and leaned forward. She tugged his shirt, so he could take a hint. 
He shedded off his jacket and shirt. "You don't have to do this, you know."
"I know."
Claudia pushed down the top part of her dress, exposing her breasts to him. She leaned forward and tugged his belt open. She popped the buttons of his pants, pulling them down along with his boxers. She licked her hand before slowly jerking him off. She kissed his tip and slipped him as far she could take him. 
Her eyes never left Calum’s as she took him deeper in her mouth. He cursed loudly, encouraging her to keep going. His stomach began to contract, letting Claudia know that he was close. Slowly, she pulled him out of her mouth until only his tip rested on her tongue. She widened her eyes, making her look more innocent as she stroked him. She took him back in her mouth, bobbing her head, just as he began to come. When finished, she sat back on her knees and closed her eyes. She felt Calum’s hand on her cheek. His thumb slowly ran over her bottom lip. 
"You know, you're the only one who makes me cum. Especially when you use that ungodly mouth of yours." He panted. 
His eyes widened, he had come to a realization. He pulled up his pants and quickly went to his piano. He opened his journal and jotted down 'you're the only one who makes me, every time we' on the page where he wrote a few lines yesterday. At the top of the page he wrote 'WILDFLOWER' in capital letters and underlined the word three times as a way for him to remember that's the title. 
He looked back at Claudia and found her sleeping covered in his jacket. He smiled to himself. People find their muses, but he found his wildflower.

I'm sure you're sick of the Endgame discourse by now but: A Thought just occurred to me, given the fandom wank over whether or not Steve "abandoned" Bucky and Sam, and (Wanda), if he came back 10 sec later, but the thing is for me ( and you kinda answered this in return to another ask ), and it's like: even if Steve came back 10 secs later it was an entire lifetime for *Steve*, where he decided that his happy ending didn't include the friends he had made in the 21st century. That in the end 1/?
Steve decided, that his happy ending didn't include his childhood friend, who he was willing to put himself under the supervision of 117 countries for ( he was willing to go against his instincts and submit to 117 countries for *Bucky*, it was only when he heard Wanda had been placed house arrest that he refused) his one bond outside the Avengers (Sam) , & his pseudo daughter/ little sister in Wanda. Like how is that extremely hurtful to them. That they were not enough for Steve to continue 2/?
living in the present? That goes beyond selfish it's *cruel* (And that's not even counting the Sharon thing, which if we're going by M&M interviews he had thing with and who he should have mentioned at the therapy session for survivors of the snap, because that would have been someone appropriate to bring up in response to Gay Joe Russo's loss), Like Bucky and his treatment is just emblematic of the whole thing, because of well let's not pretend hardcore shippers are salty, but also anger 3/?
At the way his arc was concluded? HE HAD A FAMILY HERE LIKE 90% OF WHOM HAD JUST COME BACK AND A GIRLFRIEND/ FWB . Are you seriously telling he goes back to Peggy after all of that ( and yes people he was supposed to living with Sharon in IW, trust me they did a lot more than "live together". An actual relationship has come back and he ..leaves? I mean I get why they did it (EvC didn't have the rapport with Chris that Hayley did- and the cries of "she's Peggy's grandniece!!!") but JFC 4/?
They could have had the protentional there, and had Steve working with Doctors Without Borders of something, to explain why she's running around with Falcon and Bucky. I'm sorry I'm ranting but I'm just so sad, because what it says to me is that *I* wouldn't be good enough Steve. And that hurts
First of all I’ll never be sick of endgame salt/discourse 😂 and this blog is a safe space for any and all to come and vent about the massive disappointment many of us are still feeling over this movie, so feel free to come and chat any time about this (or anything else of course 😘)
I AGREE WITH EVERY POINT YOU MADE AND AM ANGERY ALL OVER AGAIN 😡 also!!! Everything you mentioned about Sharon is so spot on and also I think it just truly clicked in my head for the first time how absolutely weird the support group was re: Sharon because!! Like you said, she WAS Steve’s most recent gf/lover/whatever you wanna call her. They had their initial connection in TWS, reconnected in CW when she risked her entire career and freedom to help Steve (and I’m p sure she was in fact a fugitive between CW and IW like the rest of team cap). We know that M&M said that early drafts of IW/EG had Steve and Sharon living together and “trying to make it work” - their words, not mine. And yet, after Sharon literally frickin DIED, Steve was... staring... at her dead aunt’s pic?? Whom... had been dead from natural causes for several years... BRUH IT DONT MAKE SENSE.
Listen, people can feel however they wanna feel about the ending but in the end, let’s be real and objective for a second. The entire Cap trilogy makes it abundantly clear that Steggy was never the intended endgame (pun intended 🙄). Peg played an important role in Steve’s character development but it came to an end, they both moved on, Steve developed an interest in Sharon. The weird Steggy “happy ending”... it was never the plan, and the early IW/EG drafts are proof. So, one can not argue that it was some grand beautiful in character master plan because it wasn’t, by any stretch of the imagination. It just... it isn’t good. It isn’t Steve. We all know it, whether we’re willing to admit it or not.
I think in the end it just comes down to the writers/powers that be not understanding the value of found family vs heteronormative romance. That’s kind of EG’s fatal flaw imo, it wrecks the whole thing. Nat dying so Clint can live and be with his cookie cutter family vs Nat living and being with her found family is another example. They just don’t get it, just like they don’t understand trauma and think it’s okay to call Bucky dangerous and bad and not worthy of the shield. And I suppose we shouldn’t expect rich old straight white men to understand these concepts, but boy does it get exhausting watching them destroy all the characters I love 🙃
But anyway. EG Steve ain’t the Steve I know and love and I don’t care what the Russos or M&M or Feige or Mickey Mouse himself says. Steve Rogers as a character belongs to us, the fans, not the greedy corporate weirdos cashing in on his original author’s work 😊 So let’s just toss EG Steve in the trash and remember the character as he actually is 💙

I was wondering if you had any "Derek deserves nice things" fics? I went through the tags page and didn't see anything like it. Sterek pls? Thanks guys! ❤️
AND
thealternativesource said:I’m sick and tired of the continued narrative that what Kate Argent did to Derek wasn’t sexual assault and that they should keep bringing her back over and over to victimize him on Teen Wolf. (Just watched Sundays episode.) Could you please give us some fics where she either bites the bullet or Derek confronts his past and overcomes it? Derek Hale deserves all the nice things! P.S. preferably sterek but I’m open to anything.
You’re right @yeahishipitbitch we don’t have a tag. But here’s a list for you and @thealternativesource! - Anastasia
Tumblr media
Come Home to Me by ajeepandleather
(1/1 I 2,136 I General)
Stiles works at a hotel and Derek is a very grumpy guest. I would love to see Stiles trying to do things to make Derek a happy guest but they just don’t go as planned. 
I’m clumsy, my head’s a mess… by twisch
(2/2 I 4,115 I Teen)
“Valentine’s day is on Friday.”
“I know…”
“Do you have plans with anyone?”
“No, Stiles. I don’t have any plans.“
“I was thinking… do you, maybe, want to do something with me?”
“Sure. That sounds nice.”
“Oh, shit, I’m so sorry Stiles. I forgot to tell you.”
“Tell me what?”
“Erica’s date bailed, and she had these reservations… if she doesn’t go she’ll have to pay for cancelling so late and she didn’t want to go alone.”
“Erica’s date bailed? What a jerk. Okay so…”
“I’m gonna go with her.”
“…you’re gonna go with her?”
OR: The one where Stiles asks Derek on a Valentine’s date and Derek just… doesn’t get it.
Operation Get Derek Laid by Kikileduc
(1/1 I 5,109 I Mature)
There’s pining, misunderstandings, confusion, a little jealousy…
Stiles and Derek they have a nice thing, no one knows, yet. The issue is, they want their alpha to get lucky at the werewolf seminar, and well Stiles thinks Derek wants that too…
To Be Worthy Of Hope by alocalband
(1/1 I 7,482 I Teen)
“If you can’t say the words, you’re not mature enough to know what they mean,” Scott tells him.
Stiles throws a french fry at him.
(In which Derek is secretly pining, Stiles is oblivious to both Derek’s feelings as well as his own, and any personal growth that happens in the mean time is completely reluctant.)
Kintsugi by artemis69
(1/1 I 7,866 I General)
Derek is too big, and strong, and a werewolf. He knows perfectly well what men are and aren’t allowed to be.
Stiles would beg to differ.
In which there are pretty boys, flowers, panties, glitter, and Stiles gives a heartfelt fuck you to the concept of toxic masculinity.
there’s a martyr in my bed tonight but it’s all alright by crossroadswrite
(1/1 I 10,922 I Teen)
It’s a beautiful afternoon, and Derek is standing at a dusty gas station, staring helplessly at the destroyed remains of the last thing his sister left him.
(OR: In which Derek expects nothing from life, but with a little help from the Stilinskis gets everything.)
Finger Food by AllTheseSquaresMakeACircle
(4/4 I 19,134 I Explicit)
Derek Hale didn’t expect for his mother to give him the alpha power. Especially not before he graduated high school. He also didn’t expect to meet another teenage alpha, Scott McCall. Or his human best friend, Stiles. He didn’t expect himself to be fixated on Stiles long and slender fingers. Or his exceptional skills in the kitchen. Derek didn’t expect a lot of things. Then again, sometimes that unexpected turned out to be a good thing.
Between Dogs and Wolves by artemis69
(1/1 I 25,889 I Teen)
"This is…not four million in cash,” remarks Stilinski.
“Isaac. Did you fail to get my money back and decided to pick up a stripper on the road to bribe me? Because let me make this perfectly clear: this would totally work. Well done.”
Or
The mafia!AU where the Hales owe four million to the Stilinskis, Laura rents Derek (but not as a stripper), Stiles gets a new favorite, Derek gets a new boss, a new puppy and a new family.
Sometimes they break people, but mainly, they just snark at each other.
Well shit, Sourwolf by ColdHeartedBitch
(52/52 I 56,710 I Not Rated I Girl!Stiles)
Derek left Beacon Hills. Stiles is 17 and pregnant. Her father kicked her out, the Pack don’t give a shit about her since her baby is Derek’s. Somehow, she manages to find new family and home. Derek finds her and tries to win her forgiveness.
I’ve Been Everywhere With You by Leslie_Knope
(10/10 I 61,551 I Teen)
“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.
Framed by Nival_Vixen
(30/30 I 65,762 I MAture)
Stiles’ first day at the FBI was also going to be his last. That had to be some kind of record, surely?…On his first day at the FBI, Stiles discovers that Derek is wanted for mass murder. Stiles knows that Derek’s innocent and is determined to find out who framed him.,
Windows by dr_girlfriend
(28/28 I 83,015 I Explicit)
Derek has a new neighbor who won’t stop looking.
Excerpt:
“You’re blind,” Derek said flatly, the anger draining from him so suddenly he felt almost woozy. His vision cleared, his claws sliding back into blunt fingernails.
“Thanks for the memo, genius,” the kid said acidly. “I can still fucking defend myself, so don’t take another damn step.”
“Fuck, I…I’m sorry,” Derek stuttered.
“What?!” The kid’s brow crinkled. “I mean — what?! You’re fucking sorry!?” His lips thinned into a harsh line. “What, is this some kinda Hallmark movie where you’re discovering the error of your ways because you don’t want to rob a blind person?! That’s fucking condescending, man. I’ll have you know that —”
“Just, wait.” Derek interrupted what was apparently the start of a convincing argument as to why he should rob the kid after all, feeling his head start to spin. “This is — it’s a misunderstanding.
