1. Stiles left Beacon Hills to never return and left his jeep.
2. Derek saved his jeep and fixed everything. Stiles's dad flat out says Derek saved it after Stiles left and tried to fix it up. Stiles had it held together with duck tape but Derek put everything into fixing it, but it wasn't able to run perfectly.
Tumblr media
3. In the 15 years since Stiles left to never return, it ended up in the junkyard because Derek couldn't fix it like he wanted to, but he wouldn't abandon it.
Tumblr media
4. Eli, Derek's kid, would routinely steal it to piss Derek off.
Tumblr media
5. After Derek died. Stiles's dad gave Eli the keys to the jeep and told him Derek had "complicated feelings about the Jeep" but it should definitely be Eli's.
Tumblr media
So like Derek was in love with Stiles huh? Like he saved Stiles's jeep, when Stiles himself abandoned it. He tried to make it run smoothly and when he couldn't he kept it under a tarp at the junkyard to not be driven but not to be scrapped either. And then his son would regularly steal it solely to piss Derek off. Derek himself said it was just to make him mad. And then when Derek died, Sheriff Stilinski gave the keys to Eli and said he should have it and that Derek had "complicated feelings about the jeep" but it was Eli's. Derek was definitely in love with Stiles and I just.

Ah Sterek.. I was crazy about them! Actually they still are my favorite ship to this day, I just haven't read fics and such in a long time. As for in the show, they had soo much potential and could've been truly great! End of s4, the 'Stiles looking back scene', it felt like it was truly time. Then ofc Tyler H left anyways, but yeah sucked. I never watched the rest of the series and I could never stand Malia 😝 Also the queer baiting. Bi Stiles was totally a thing ❤️ - but yeah fics exist, so 😁
sterek will always have a special place in my heart even though i pretty much only revisit my old favorites (this one is the very best!) but now that i'm on the other side of that age difference, some of my beloved tropes don't hit so good for me anymore lmao. i stopped watching when hoechlin left because derek was my BABY 💖💞💘💕💝💓 but the potential for bi stiles was right there and they just fumbled the bag. will never forgive that shit show for that.

https://sinenominea.tumblr.com/post/189617361289/another-attempt-to-get-me-to-shut-up ___________________________________________________ I kind of feel bad for sinenominea because they’re making such good points and PEW just ignores them in favor of what he keeps shouting for years  because he’s unwilling to stop calling Sterek fans racists. And he will keep continuing calling out the entire fandom instead of admitting to the fact that not all of us agree with the fanfiction he’s getting his hands on. I’ll highlight some of the posts which stand out to me since many good points are already made. PEW:  But fandom was fandom.  Instead of focusing on the positive message of a character who maintained their autonomy in the front of overwhelming pressure from selfish and often hostile actors, who overcame a debilitating biological condition to keep doing the things he always wanted to do, who pursued love in the face of prejudice, and who decided to stand up for those who couldn’t find the strength to stand up for themselves, they scorned Scott. This right here shows how hard it is to try and discuss anything with the Antis. Because Pew here confuses reality with fiction, Pew here talks about Tyler P and not Scott. And many of us here in the fandom aren’t talking about what’s going on behind the scenes of the show. I for one have no clue what happened, I have watched interviews with Tyler H but I’m not familiar with negative stories nor do I want to focus on Hearsay real life. I want to focus on what’s going on in the show Teen Wolf. Not the actors.  PEW:  Instead, they worship a good-looking white man who manipulated and hurt everyone around him because he let his life be consumed by six-year old trauma.   Would anyone really want Derek Hale’s life?   Living in burned-down homes and dirty train stations and bleak monastic industrial apartments in some sort of deranged self-punishment?  And when Derek finally decides to stop wallowing in his mistakes and take steps to heal, fandom suspected foul play and complained about his growth. Whoa, hold up. Is he seriously saying that Derek is supposed to be over a trauma most of us wouldn’t know how to handle without therapy and medication? After 6 years he should be okay with his ENTIRE family burned to death by a woman he thought he could trust because he was in love with her at sixteen when she was an adult? He’s supposed to be all normal and fine losing his home and having only his sister left, and then she gets killed off too? Not to mention the statutory rape and the sexual assault at the hands of Kate. He’s supposed to be without PTSD because it’s been 6 years? You just lost all my respect, PEW. Not that you had much to begin with.  Here you go claiming that Scott is a teen boy going through many traumatizing events he’s attempting to handle and that he’s only a teenaged boy at 16 so he’s excused from everything but in the same breath you say that 16 year old Derek’s to blame for his family’s death and you call him deranged for badly handling everything at 22? I’m disgusted by you. Like….wow.  PEW:  Fandom loves to magnify Stiles’ problems and diminish Scott’s. Not all of Fandom does that. And you’re doing the same thing, you know. You’re diminishing all the characters you hate in favor for Scott.  Brydeswhale:  There’s a social tendency to downplay abuse and to defend the abuser, especially if the abuser is an attractive white guy, and the target is a woman and/or person of colour. I think that, combined with racism, could help explain a lot about fandom’s reaction to these things. How about the tendency of you guys to refuse to acknowledge Derek’s abuse? The fact he was tortured, assaulted. How the show completely ignored Kate licking his stomach as sexual assault? Or how all the characters not once blinked at what Jennifer did to him, or the fact they were all there when Derek was deaged and they KNEW Derek was only 16 when he met Kate so they all knew the wrongness of it. And nobody acknowledged it. Male rape victims get ignored, it’s commonly known. But sure, you all keep saying it’s racism, call us female haters (LOL I AM FEMALE) and keep at it with your hatred of a fandom you’re clearly not part of anymore if you’re so eager to make it personal to your fellow fans whose only crime is to not like Scott as much as you do.

"I never understood the thought behind the rumors that Tyler H didn't like sterek to the point of leaving the show and shutting it down at cons. There are fan encounters and photos from cons of Tyler loving sterek fan art" He had a time directly after he had left TW when he tried to shut down any Sterek related things at cons. He got backlash from fans for doing that -Sterek are the main audience for him at cons- so he quickly decided to suddenly sign Sterek stuff again after a few cons.
That's not exactly right, though. This is why it's such a nuanced issue because there were so many factors involved and a lot of it was miscommunication from the cons. So yes, there were times he did say no but he always said "I can't" or "I'm not allowed" but then people would show up with signed sterek stuff. Again, it's not consistent enough to be a test for him. Then he'd be fine for a while and then say something wildly anti-sterek. Then he'd apologize and be like, I love sterek, always have! Then there was the posey apology and it's all very confusing.
That boy gay as Christmas.

The thing I love about the sterek fandom is that teen wolf ending means nothing. Stydia being endgame means nothing, the forever useless Scott being whatever a true alpha is means nothing. The strong characters Derek, Stiles, (I don't ship steter but bohan does a great job) Peter & Chris (J.R is great when he's with Ian & Tyler H) it feels to me that they belong to the fandom and have with a while. And once trash Wolf ends they will still continue on with better stories and better lives.
Look, the “Stydia endgame” is so lukewarm that if I was a Stydia I’d be very annoyed. It’s almost like Jeff has decided no shippers are going to be happy! (I mean, nobody actually ships Scalia, right?) 
But yes, Sterek didn’t die when the show tried to kill it by not giving them any scenes together, or when Hoechlin left, and it’s not going to die now the show has ended. We’ll still be here, having fun with it! 
And the same goes for Steter too, lol!

When I first started watching Teen Wolf I hated Sterek.
And the only reason I hated the ship was because of the fans. The attacks when you mentioned Scott, or calling Alison irrelevant, or harassing every other ship, or calling Lydia a whore, or attacking content creators, or harassing the cast and the crew, or whatever petty bullshit the fandom would pull made me hate the ship.
I mean I was into the anti sterek tag.
I was glad when Tyler H left the show because it would piss off these whiny bitches.
The toxicity in the fandom bled into the ship for me and I hated everything and anything that had to do with Sterek.
But now that the show is over I actually like them. I really kind of want to start shipping them.
Moral of the story, stop being bitches and maybe less people will hate your ship.
And if you take this personally then you're one of the bitches that ruined it for people.
Bye.

Our Problems With Teen Wolf
Note: My friend, @knightedtime, and I made this a while back and I decided to release it because the world should know our feelings XD Or something meaningful like that. So here we go.
I have nothing against the actors. I have nothing against the writers. This are just my complaints. Any hostility will be exploited.
Feel free to add your own if you’d like! Just include a line break.
Jackson Whittemore. He came off as a huge asshole even when they tried to make him sympathetic and I was indifferent to him “dying” temporarily. 
No reasons for Lydia acting shallow, vapid and pretending to be dumb while she was with Jackson. It was never addressed. Never talked about why she did that and everyone just acts like it didn’t happen. Okay.
Lydia doesn’t seem to have friends. You can claim the Pack are her friends but ??? They don’t hang out much. Like hang out like normal people their age. So I think Danny was her only real friend because he showed concern and shit and talked to her outside of mystery problem stuff. 
Theo Raeken being a Peter Hale rip off. Cause that’s what he is. And trusting him about anything is bullshit. He fucked that up. Maybe had he been developed more I’d be more understanding. Nothing against Cody Christian but Theo is just another evil dude with pretty face. At least Peter had some sort of depth.
Stydia last season
Most Stydia fans
Stydia in general
Stydia being shoved down my throat.
Season 5 in general
Kira’s “ending”. It was bullshit. There was some open ended shit so her story being over was bullshit. BULLSHIT. BULLLLSHIT. and I hope Arden Cho is doing great things after that utter bullshittery.
The loss and lack of Danny. I fucking loved him and he was just gone. Another actor mistreated on this asshole show. Well, I hope Keahu Kahuanui is doing greater things than this.
Last season is about Stiles. At least 6a. I’m sorry but in NO way should the last season of the show being about the sidekick. I don’t give a shit what or who he is. STILES SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE MAIN GOAL OF 6A. I don’t give a shit about what Stiles fans and Stydia fans have to say about it. 
Scott and Stiles’ friendship is continuously on a downward spiral. Stiles has always been the dominating personality in the relationship. Check out all of season one if you don’t believe me. Scott just recently started coming into his own with being an alpha, a leader. I feel like Stiles doesn’t like that. Aside from this, I also feel like Stiles expects certain privileges with being Scott’s “best friend” but their relationship has corroded and they can’t really be “best friends” if Scott no longer trusts Stiles. And I don’t believe he does, regardless of what Jeff says.
The unrealistic relationships. Stydia. Stalia. Mainly. Because it’s kind of relationships that they just kind of pulled out of their asses and were like “meh”. Adelaide and Gage left and Stiles just needed someone. 
No explanation for what happened to Derek. Literally. I know that Tyler H. said he wasn’t coming back but the show never explained where Derek went. Yet another character that we’re suppose to just forget about.
Scott’s development from season 3 to season 5. Where is it? I mean, yes, he was kind of an asshole in season 2 when it came to Derek making more werewolves. Then it went stagnant.
The fandom/fanbase. The most vocal (I don’t want to say majority) are the Stydia people. The most vocal of the Stydia people seem to be bullying the actors and I AIN’T ABOUT THAT. Listen up, you little parasites, your show is ending due to you bitching all the time. Had it not been for that, might have gotten some more.
The shipping wars
Layden. Another rushed relationship that I don’t have the capacity to care about. Plus the “homage” to Scallison is just -.- exhausting.
Theo Raeken comes back for season 6, erasing the last thing Kira did on the show. Thanks.
Rehashing old relationship. Same as 19, but it really urked me so let’s put it up here twice.
Theo Raeken in general
Lydia and Jackson ever being a thing. It was a toxic relationship. They were both kind of hateable. Some people are just too toxic to be together. Maybe had Colton Hayes stayed the could have worked on that, but Colton deserves better so he can go ahead and do what he’s doing.
Stydia in General because it’s really cliche if you look at it. That whole popular girl gets won over by the nerd/geek is so worn out. Usually, I’m all for an underdog story, but Stiles isn’t an underdog. He’s kind of an asshole. He kind of treats everyone like garbage (even Lydia in some instances) and the two of them are usually at odds. Honestly, Stydia happening (to me) isn’t out of love, but out of Lydia paying homage to her dead best friend because Allison was the one who told Lydia to give him a chance. Make of that what you will.
Scott moving too quick. I mean… His relationships go from like 5 to 100 in a matter of episodes. It’s a bit concerning even though he’s a sweet boy. It makes me concerned for him. 
WTF HAPPENED TO LAHEY (I know he’s with Chris but wtf? No updates on him). Not even mentioned again. He doesn’t exist.
The last season being focused on Stiles when they knew beforehand that Dylan O’ Brien was going to be busy and it really should be focusing on the Titular Character given that it’s last season. (On here twice cause it’s BULLSHIT).
The way that Jeff Davis treats his actors. I’m looking at Danny’s actor and Kira’s.
Peter Hale never got a redemption arc until season 6, but Theo basically got his immediately. Theo’s redemption is bullshit at that. Using fear as a redemption tool is never successful. Scared Straight doesn’t work for murderers. If it doesn’t work for sex offenders, it’s not going to work for Theo. Sorry, not sorry.
The fact Peter is probably going to get screwed over again. Wouldn’t surprise me.
The fact that Brett and Liam would have been more believable than Layden and Brett and Liam borderline hating each other. Maybe it’s chemistry, maybe it’s the fact that Layden was so rushed. The world may never know.
There’s not any main queer relationships. I dare you to name your top three in season 6 without repeating any characters. I fucking dare you.
They bring in a Bi character and he’s not used much. *cough*BrettTalbot*cough*
I can’t be excited for season 6 because of the past seasons (mainly 5) being at least somewhat disappointing
The fact that they claimed there wasn’t room for Kira and yet they casted a bunch of people for season 6 who were new.
Not that I ship it, but They baited Sterek a lot outside of the show for views.
Scott trusts Theo more than he trusts Stiles. So much for best friends, am I right?
Stiles kinda being an ass to Scott after Scott died and expecting Scott to be everywhere at once, resulting in that one gif where Stiles attacked Scott very fucking violently. Scott is a werewolf, not a superhero.
The show focuses more on Stiles’ Trauma more than anyone else’s. Scott and Lydia dealing with the loss of Allison, a part of an episode of them crying and the occasional mention. Why did Lydia act dumb? What went on with Scott since he didn’t have a dad? How has them being what they are affected them mentally? What about Malia’s trauma? These things are merely touched upon everyone once in a while. Stiles’ trauma is probably enough to write a thesis paper on.
Having no real reason other than Allison’s death for Isaac leaving (even that relationship was WAY too fast and wasn’t love based, like, at all)
Allison and Isaac’s relationship to begin with. There’s so much with this relationship that just grates me.
Allison tried to justify torturing people who had nothing to do with her mom’s death. Like I understand, but that also made it seem like they were going to set her up as a villain in later seasons, which for her not to go that route made it pretty damn disappointing and pissed me off. (Especially when she seemingly expected Derek to be cool with her. Fun Fact: Once you start disliking someone with a passion, everything that person does pisses you off so I can’t fault Derek here).
Gerard being alive. Just… That bitch.
The fact Scott is barely ever “single” and thus making him pretty fucking unrelateable. In highschool, I only date two people, some of my friends never dated, and some of my friends dated their s.o. freshman year or earlier to senior year. Plus, we never really seen him mourn Allison much so that could be a reason.
Kira’s story arc season 5 because that was weak to the point I barely remember wtf she was doing. Basically, made her character less memorable other being “that one girl Scott dated that wasn’t Allison”
The fact that Allison died at all, when really, they could have just let her actress leave and It’s like if you look at most people who are written off the show, the majority of Females who do DIE. 
Stalia vs. Stydia. Stiles should work on his personality a bit before he should be in a relationship but whatever
Wtf happened to Lydia’s dad?
Wtf happened to Scott’s dad?
The show just gets more unrealistic and unrelatable. These kids basically have no breaks in between problems .-. In continuation to this, I’m adding the fact that this shit always happens to these kids and while it’s a tv show and everything, it’s rly unrealistic that everything happens to them.
There’s a rumor that Scott’s going to kick the bucket for the last season and I don’t like it.
Malia getting hate for dating Stiles. 
Lydia’s sudden feelings for Stiles (Fandom would claim differently, but She looks really annoyed when he talks and their “humor” sounds somewhere between “I fucking hate you” and demeaning).
Void!Stiles not being addressed much (or the results of that rather). 
Just now delving into more of Lydia’s abilities :l and they’re still pretty fucking shoddy.
Stydia getting so much fanservice. For example, the whole Stiles holding Lydia’s hand when it reasonably should have been Scott, considering they’re closer as “friends” and he can take away pain.
The Wendigo thing. Just… What the fuck man. Don’t introduce new creatures if you aren’t going to delve. Seriously.
How everything always happens in Beacon Hills (I understand the whole Nemeton drawing people there but still :l minus when they went to Mexico which can barely be counted :l)
The fact that the show treated Kira’s departure like a joke with the hashtag, but when it comes to Stiles’ Jeep, they take it seriously. You value you a character over a car. Congrats, assholes.
There’s no actual way that Stydia would work out considering the who “Try being less scared” line Stiles told Lydia while working on his Jeep (which is just one instance. This is NOT banter. This is NOT an old married couple).
Stiles is becoming more of an asshole with the more paranoid he gets which is why he shouldn’t be involved with this shit in the first place.
The whole ‘Some of us are human’ line. Like sorry, asshole. I like you most of the time, but still.  
Tbh the way Stiles used to treat Lahey. Like, motherfucker he was abused and Stiles doesn’t acknowledge that and tells him he “milking” that. Lahey has trauma, you have mommy issues. Stop valuing your trauma over everyone else’s. Your trauma is pathetic compared to most other people’s.
The way that the fandom treats Parrish when it comes to Lydia.  She’s 18 guys and not even supposed to be in high school anymore, considering she could graduate early if she wanted. When you’re 18 you can date anyone older than you without people blinking an eye. 
Kate ending up being a werejaguar where she was scratched by werewolf Peter Hale. Just the whole “the bite effects how you feel” or whatever. No. You get bit my a werewolf, you should become a werewolf. Whatever, man. I’m tired of applying logic to this show…
JD disregards his actors feelings
Fandom being Hypocrites when it comes to Posey doing something wrong, when Dylan O’Brien’s done some bad shit too. LEAVE POSEY ALONE.
We didn’t get a funeral for Allison. (But we got one for Crazy Kate -.-)
The show is more about ships than anything else. What is a story line?
The fact Allison’s mom was a bitch and Allison’s “hallucinations” show her as a bitch but she went off the deep end because of her bitchy mom was dead.
They promote Stiles so much that most people think he’s the lead main character. Before I started watching this show, I seriously thought Stiles was the main character. Imagine my surprise when Scott was the werewolf.
All their female characters are kind of shit :l or in the process of going to shit… Or they’re dead... Or gone. My feelings for Malia fluctuate, they reduced Lydia to a crying, moping mess who was willing to risk Scott’s life for Stiles Stfuckboylinski, Erica is dead, Cora is/was female Derek, Allison is dead, Kira will be remembered as “Kitsune girl who dated Scott” because their lack of using her, Hayden… wait… who is Hayden again?, Let’s not touch Krazy Kate, who’s Braedan again? Wait, where did Marin go? Oh, fuck!
Can’t say much for their male characters either at this point.
The fact that they kinda ended Kira’s story with a cliffhanger. 
How Lydia was cool with Peter and went to him for help after the whole possession and “you” thing that happened. “Yeah, I know that you were like haunting me or whatever and literally made me feel like I was losing my mind which you never really tried to make up for, but I totally and completely trust you”
Why the fuck was it necessary to kill Erica? Is that the only way this show knows how to get rid of characters?
The fact that they probably brought theo back to make Matheo a thing. He fucking shot her. If I was Malia, I’d sooner rip his head off.
People defending Stydia with “It’s only fanservice if you don’t agree with it”. No, it’s fanservice because you bitched for it and the writers want to pacify you and hope you shut up. “The Stydia moments every season is only a thing if you ship it”. Nope, it’s fanservice. Holland Roden even admitted that season 6a was fanservice. (I say all of 6a because it was Stiles centered and seemed more like fan fiction than an actual tv show).
For how old everyone was, I’m kind of shocked that Allison and Lydia were still friends after Lydia made out with Scott… Unless she never found out about that? I don’t know man.
Allison neglecting her and Lydia’s friendship and only paying attention to get help from her resulting in what happened with Peter, but no one addresses that. Which, to me, makes Allison not the best bestie.
People sending Malia and Parrish’s actors death threats over Stydia. Are you guys serious? This is why the show is garbage and this is why it’s ending and views are dropping. Kudos to Shelley Hennig and Ryan Kelley for putting up with that shit.
The fact that none of the female cast have storylines that are front and center. They all seem to be in the background more than anything. The women of this show are more like props (excluding Allison and Melissa).
Stydia fanbase freaking out over anything bad that happens to Dylan or Holland. I’m pretty sure that whole freak out of her getting pushed is enough to explain my feelings towards this.
Then antiStydia people making hashtags telling Holland to kill herself :l That’s not fair guys. It’s not Holland’s fault there’s a bunch of oversized babies shoving their ship down your throat.
The actors getting any kind of threats over a FUCKING FICTITIOUS TV SHOW! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?! YOU’RE DOING THIS TO A REAL PERSON OVER A FAKE FUCKING TV SHOW. YOU PEOPLE NEED TO BE ON SO MANY FUCKING DRUGS TO THINK THAT’S AT ALL ACCEPTABLE. A FAKE RELATIONSHIP SHOULDN’T BE THE CENTER OF YOUR LIVES. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST LEAVE THIS POOR PEOPLE ALONE YOU DEMENTED ASSHOLES. GO TO YOU FUCKING FAN FICTION AND JUST FUCKING STOP. JUST FUCKING STOP PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP.
JD giving the stydia fandom what they want when they don’t deserve it and they’re just a bunch of a brats.
The fandom shipping the actors together when they are real people with lives. This is just a general pet peeve of mind. Stop shipping living, breathing functional people unless you’re shipping them with their significant other. Don’t get caught up in other people’s life and start living yours.
The fact that apparently JD hinted Stiles was Bi and never did anything with it? :l He’s the straightest person ever. Seriously, I have never seen anyone straighter than Stiles Stilinski. 
The Panic Attack kiss .-. I don’t wanna say it was OOC but it was a lot less Lydia like than everything else and the begin of Lydia acting less like herself like people do when they’re in an abusive relationship! (That was also the kind of panic attack that requires space too.)(Yeah -.- but oooo stydia)
The fact that the fandom was anti Malia (partially because she punched him once) but was totally cool shipping Sterek despite the fact that Derek p much assaults Stiles whenever Stiles steps out of line
Stiles also kinda treats Derek badly and Really? I don’t see why anyone would consider them to be ‘Friends’.
Lacrosse is somehow popular.  Don’t know how, but Beacon Hills seems about the same size as Fresno is and really? I don’t know how lacrosse got so popular when beacon hills has a football team and that’s the so called american sport.
Fandom is woo girl power one minute, then bitching about Malia and Kira (Lydia less than those two) as individual parts.
The fact that everyone’s character development is all over the place, basically all the time
Basically all the female characters getting slut shamed
People thinking that Stiles deserves Lydia, like she’s some sort of prize to be won. Lydia is a fucking person. Fucking chauvinists. 
Tbh the people who get the least amount of hate are more abusive? (examples?)(Jackson, Derek (though Derek’s “hate” is more the fandom sexualizing him?)) (I’ve seen them call Scott abusive and I’m like okay HOW.)
Ima just say this now, which prob ties to a lot of the actor stuff earlier, but the way the fandom treats Tyler Posey specifically like… I really just… :l (It’s frankly disgusting how they treat him.)(It really is :c) So much love in my heart for that boy. I just want to fucking hug him and make him feel better. 
The fact that they’re putting Parrish in a Freezer during season 6 when he could help.
Ik that Lydia wouldn’t do this because Lydia and Allison were “best friends” but tbh Lydia has more romantic and even more friendship chemistry with Scott than she does with Stiles (Yeah. I noticed that.)

Rec List (my first one!)
Recently, I was asked to rec some stories.
This is by no means an exhaustive list. In fact, I know a lot of my favorites aren’t on here. This is just a starting point. My rec section will contain spoilers for the stories although I did try to remain vague.
Here’s hoping there’s something new in here :)
In no particular order:
Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/5954161
Title: Fold In Gently
Author: thepsychicclam
Relationship: ends Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski, established Cora Hale/Kira Yukimura
Warnings: None
Rating: Teen and Up
Summary: Derek is going to kill Cora. He’s going to kill her numerous times. One death is not enough punishment for what she’s making him do.
Cora’s making Derek take baking classes.
My Rec: Derek may appear as an asshole at first, but Stiles doesn’t take it to heart so there’s no misunderstandings or hurt over it.
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/2262240/chapters/4967643
Title: A Desperate Arrangement
Author: mikkimouse
Relationship: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski
Warnings: Chose not to use
Rating: Explicit
Summary: "I'm sorry, I believe there's something wrong with my hearing," Stiles said. "Because I could have sworn you just told me you set up a betrothal agreement with the Hales. A betrothal agreement involving me. Me."
Scott smiled his easygoing smile and nodded, which told Stiles no, he hadn't misheard a damn thing.
After seven years of lengthy negotiations, the treaty between the Hales and the Argents has fallen apart and the two countries fell into war.
Months later, there's an uneasy truce, thanks to the intervention of King Scott McCall, but it won't last. In a desperate attempt to maintain the peace, the Hales sign a treaty with the McCalls to marry Prince Derek to Prince Stiles Stilinski, King Scott's brother.
In the history of the world, there have been many better ideas.
My Rec: I absolutely love this story because it has a beautiful plot and never feels slow. My favorite chapter is the seventh just for how Stiles interacts with Derek.
 Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/3334607
Title: An Exercise in Trust
Author: impalagirl & wilddragonflying
Relationship: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski, Past Lydia Martin/Stiles Stilinski, Scott McCall/Allison Argent
Warnings: Rape/Non-Con, Underage (Note: both in the past and not explicitly stated)
Rating: Mature
Summary: Derek Hale hasn't been able to hold a steady job for quite some time, thanks to his past. When an ad is posted for a babysitting job, Derek(thanks to his experience with his large extended family) jumps at the chance to maybe start rebuilding his life.
My Rec: I love how the subject matter is treated and respected. This is one of my always rereads.
 Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/6297130/chapters/14430451
Title: Talk Me Down
Author: SylvieW
Relationship: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski
Warnings: None
Rating: Mature
Summary: After the Hale family narrowly escapes the fire, Derek moves to New York to escape their lingering resentment. There, he meets Stiles, and feels an instant connection to him, but their relationship, and Derek’s self worth is tested by the hurdles Derek’s pack throws at them
My Rec: I keep coming back to this one. I’ll admit, I was disappointed in the way it ended because I felt there was too much of a jump between events, but the more I reread it the more I’m glad the author did it this way. (And I will allow this story when I usually avoid bottom!Stiles like the plague.)
 Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/1766344/chapters/3778642
Title: Sanctuary
Author: darkmagess
Relationship: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski
Warnings: Rape/Non-Con

Summary: Starts where 3B stops, with Kate attacking Derek in the loft. She kidnaps him to Mexico, and Stiles, Scott, and Lydia rush to find him before Kate can inflict too much damage. She inflicts enough, and Derek retreats into his mind to escape the horrors of his situation. The Derek they find is not the one that left Beacon Hills.
My Rec: This was one of the first stories that I read for this fandom that I recall. I added it to my bookmarks immediately (on my computer, not my AO3). This is one of my favorite ones to reread, especially the early chapters with Derek at the Sheriff’s house. Bonus: it’s part of a series.

Title: flawless
Author: bibliosexual
Relationship: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski, Scott McCall/Kira Yukimura, Vernon Boyd/Erica Reyes
Warnings: None
Rating: Teen and Up
Summary: “I know you and I are, like, werewolf-married, but dude, if I ever met Lydia Martin in person . . . All bets are off, is all I'm saying."
It's not like Stiles really means it (does he?), but it still makes Derek’s hands clench into claws on the steering wheel.
"Yeah, if," he says, and keeps his eyes on the road.
My Rec: Every once in a while I’ll get into a funk where I need to read emotional hurt and this is one of my favorites. Insecure Derek coupled with Joking Stiles makes for a miscommunication of manageable proportions.

Title: Down on My Knees
Author: Vendelin
Relationship: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski
Warnings: None
Rating: Explicit
Summary: Stiles gets addicted to a new computer game, and Derek just wants their relationship back.
Written for the prompt: "new iphone game/video game/tv show ruining sterek's sex life"
My Rec: Emotional hurt galore. I like both characters here but obviously, Derek is my favorite. I think the relationship is portrayed well with deference to the prompt.

Title: Uncover the Endless Hours

Warnings: No warnings
Rating: Mature
Summary: “Can I buy you breakfast?” Derek blurted, then cringed. Where exactly had that come from? He couldn’t actually remember the last time he'd asked somebody out. Not that he was asking Stiles out. Just for breakfast. And - he was pathetic.
Stiles blinked, honey-whiskey-golden eyes huge in the dim light. “What?”
“I woke up you up at two in the morning,” Derek said, more slowly. “I – you know, food?”
“Oh.” Stiles shook his head. “I have to get up at five and I stayed up stupid late as it is. I’m gonna be a mess tomorrow already and–”
“Nobody gives a fuck, Romeo,” somebody shouted from outside and Stiles jerked so hard he cracked his head on Derek’s windowsill.
Or: The one where Stiles is a cop and Derek doesn't sleep.
My Rec: This is why I want to write “You’ve Got Your Headphones On” because the stalked!Derek in this story is fantastic. Although, in the story I want to write, Stiles is a stalker too (not a bad guy or even really bad at all). When I have enough time, I am definitely going to reread more than just the first couple thousand words (again).

Title: With Delayed Expression
Author: Idday
Relationship: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski
Warnings: Rape/Non-Con
Rating: Mature
Summary: "I have… well… she said that she thinks that I maybe have… PTSD?”
The line goes so dead that Derek almost thinks Stiles hung up on him. He waits eight very quiet seconds, and says softly, “Stiles?”
“I’m sorry, what?” Stiles says, breath whooshing back over the phone line.
“I have PTSD,” Derek says more firmly. It’s the first time he’s said it out loud, not as a question. It hasn’t really seemed real, until now. He’d spent the whole of his last session arguing that Tamara was wrong about him, and saying it out loud is like admitting it’s true. “Post-traumatic stress dis—”
“I know what it means,” Stiles interrupts, “I just didn’t think I’d heard right. Oh my God.”
My Rec: Absolutely breathtaking with how the author has presented the material and the respect given to the subject matter. Derek was believable in his journey and more than that Stiles was believable. Another favorite reread.

Title: (un)broken
Author: KouriArashi
Relationship: Kate Argent/Derek Hale, Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski, Derek Hale & Laura Hale
Warnings: Rape/Non-Con, Underage
Rating: Mature
Summary: Newly made detective Stiles Stilinski is given what looks like a straight-forward arson case. The house's owner, Kate Argent, claims that it’s her abusive ex-boyfriend Derek punishing her for kicking him out. But when Stiles looks closer, things don't add up....
My Rec: There are very few gaslighting fics in the Teen Wolf fandom but this is one of the very best. The characterization, the horribleness of Kate, is showcased brilliantly. This story is always near the top of my reread list.

Title: Untitled (as far as I can tell)

Relationship: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski
Warnings: None
Rating: Unrated
Summary: Dearmonday: Hi! Here’s a prompt if you’re willing, sterek arranged marriage – the day they fall in love. (If that makes sense hahaha) Thank you! :)
Grimm: I wanna punch you in the face for this prompt. (✿◠‿◠)
My Rec: Remember I said I liked the emotional hurt sometimes? This is one of those stories. Derek is a king too soon in his role and forced to take a husband in Stiles. Stiles is angry at the arrangement and takes it out on Derek. One of the tags used is “Happy Ending I swear.”

Title: Box of Wormwood
Author: Emmessann
Relationship: Chris Argent/Derek Hale
Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence, Rape/Non-Con
Rating: Not Rated
Summary: So, this fic has received a (purely coincidental) celebrity endorsement at the first Wolf Moon Con in answer to the question: What supernatural creature would the actors like to see on Teen Wolf?
JR: "butterflies, really dangerous butterflies." Tyler H: "Greek mythology monsters." JR: "Greek butterflies."
Well, gentlemen, against all odds and common sense, this one goes out to the both of you. (thanks to felicitysmock for the con notes.)
When Chris took the headshot, Kate exploded -- burst into a swarm of satanic butterflies. Now Derek's terminally infested, waiting to see what physical or emotional hell will break out next. Chris would give anything to save his friend, but they both know the clock is ticking on their last desperate hope.
Diverges from the final scene of Season 3B.
My Rec: One of those that I just keep coming back to. Its own mythology is well-done and beautifully presented. I’m neither here nor there on Chris Argent/Derek Hale, but the relationship in this story is done with insight into both characters and the struggles they have gone through.

Title: Mine to have
Author: baeberiibungh
Relationship: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski, past Kate Argent/Derek Hale, past Jennifer Blake/Derek Hale
Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence, Rape/Non-Con
Rating: Not Rated
Summary: Derek whimpers, the ropes taunt over his hands and legs, Stiles smirking above him and his hands weaving a too heated path on his bare skin that makes him recoil inwardly…
My Rec: Now, as much as I like a sappy, happy ending or an emotional rollercoaster, one of my absolute guilty pleasures is dark!Stiles with or without a happy ending. This story doesn’t have a happy ending. I loved the way the manipulation was subtle enough that the reader only realized the depth of it at the same time Derek did.
