My dermatologist laughing when I told him taking a simple shower triggered my autoimmune disease to the point where I had 20+ blisters/potential wounds pop up and telling me to “be more careful” was my last fucking straw after years of his mistreatment and refusing to classify my disabling and chronic disease as a fucking disability.
Letter to the office sent with file request. Official complaint to the medical board drafted and ready to go.

The AI Situation
So I am getting genuinely worried about people who are posting the whole "if you reblog AI I am blocking you" not because of the post (because honestly, fuck AI, there are thousands of people producing art for free on the daily, how about supporting them instead?) but because sometimes I literally cannot tell!
I'm not an artist. Sometimes I can look at one and even to my untrained eye I'm like "Oh yeah, that whole thing is weird, that's AI," and other times I follow @batwynn's really good post about spotting AI.
The problem comes in when you literally can't tell. I had an artist in another fandom post a complaint about AI art and showed what the art looked like, and I spent literally 5 minutes staring at it trying to figure out how they knew it was AI because they didn't explain it, but a whole bunch of other artists in the replies confirmed it absolutely looked AI-generated and for the life of me, I couldn't see it. And I still can't.
So I guess this is my ask to artists to please be patient with non-artists as some of us legitimately care and do NOT want to reblog AI art, but it's not always evident to us. So if you see us reblog AI art, feel free to let us know. If someone clearly shows they don't care, or they don't delete the AI art once notified it is AI, then obviously have at it. But for some of us, if we reblog AI art because we literally cannot tell because all the things we're looking for to notice they are AI are not there, please just tell us and we'll delete the art.
I don't want to start avoiding traditional art because I'm worried about being blocked for reblogging something that was AI generated. The fandom oldies are safe because most people know their style, but it's upsetting for the new artists and I don't want to stop supporting people because I'm worried about being blocked because I have an untrained eye and am doing my best :(
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Hi! I love your death!stiles and king!derek art so much, well I love all your work honestly, any chance it’ll be put on your RedBubble?
Hello, and thank you! I won’t be putting it up on RedBubble, though, since the original idea/design belongs to @benaya-trash. Sorry!

Maybe a story about wolf!Derek and fox!Stiles?🥰
Challenge Accepted
"Stop wiggling, Stiles. Go to sleep", Derek said sounding as exasperated as he felt.
"But, Derekkkkk", Stiles whined.
He had known this would happen. He should have never let Stiles sleep during the day. He shouldn't have melted at the sight of his beautiful sleeping mate.
What he should have done was wake him up no matter what but he hadn't and now he was paying for it.
"What do you want Stiles?"
"I can't sleep"
"Yeah, I noticed"
"Let's go for a run"
"It's 2 AM"
"I know"
"You want me to go out in the woods for a run with you in the middle of the night? Oh joy", Derek deadpanned.
"Stop being mean, you big meanieeeee", Stiles whined again.
Derek considered just ignoring Stiles until he falls asleep but he knew that wasn't going to happen. His mate would neither sleep himself nor let Derek sleep until he got his wish.
So, with another heavy sigh Derek mumbled a "fine".
Stiles squealed and in moments the boy threw his clothes off. Well, attempted to. He ended up getting tangled in his shirt in the hurry to get it off. Derek huffed a laugh and walked over to help the distressed man out.
After Derek helped him out, Stiles quickly transformed into a fox with beautiful red fur with the most beautiful white at the tip of his tail and paws.
He was adorable.
Then, Stiles started nudging Derek with his snout.
"Okay, Okay. Stripping. Calm down", Derek chuckled and in moments he too transformed. Unlike Stiles, Derek transformed into a big black wolf. Stiles form seemed tiny infront of him. Not that it scared Stiles even a bit as he gave a quick nip at the wolf's nose and ran out the window.
Derek knew what this was. A declaration of War.
He followed Stiles out the window and chased him deep into the woods. The fox was smart as he managed to hide from Derek for the first few seconds but then Derek got a lock on his scent and he was chasing deeper into the woods.
Stiles had taken advantage of his small form and taken up a tricky route, filled with shruberies and twists and turns.
Stiles was smart and small but Derek was faster and a born werewolf. So, soon enough Derek had collided with his mate and they rolled together on the ground.
They were tangled together but they loved this part the most. When one of them finally caught the other(mostly Derek) and pinned their mate to scent them.
They twisted and turned and rolled on the ground in heap of soft black and red fur. Derek pinned Stiles down and licked his face as Stiles made cute little happy noises.
Stiles then managed to somehow sneak out of the wolf's clutches and ran away into the woods again, but not before flashing his tongue at his mate.
'Challenge Accepted', Derek thought and started his chase again.
*
*
*
*
*
*
After an hour or so of playing tag in the forest, both of them finally retired to their home.
They changed back into their human forms and went back to bed without bothering with clothes. Derek opened his arms and Stiles had snuggled into him, both of them feeling content with the scent of the earth surrounding their usual scent.
"Derek"
"What now, Stiles?", Derek replied although there was no heat behind it.
"I love you", Stiles said, followed by a soft kiss placed on Derek's lips.
Derek smiled. There was no doubt that Stiles was annoying sometimes, talked a lot and stayed up at ungodly hours keeping Derek up with him but Derek had slowly fallen in love with all of his mate's quirks as had Stiles. Now, everyday was just a reminder of much they loved each other.
"I love you too"
//The Art belongs to @batwynn (sorry for not mentioning earlier....i didn’t know)//

Fics I Love (and continue to love)
Okay, I’m sharing these fics because I LOVE them, and want you all to love them as well, but most haven’t been updated in awhile, so read at your own risk. I truly hope one day maybe I’ll get that little email notification, but for now, I’ll let my imagination run wild of what could have been. And I’ll keep going back and rereading what has been written.
*No word counts cause I’m hoping one day they’ll change
(Don't) Touch Me by sarcastielx
Sterek | Mature
Peter sighed and looked very put out. “I was sent on the behalf of my darling sister, Talia Hale, to give the invite that isn’t really an invite, more like an order, to come live at the Hale House for the Gifted.
Stiles blinked, rage momentarily forgotten. “You want me to join the X Men?”
“Why does everyone say that?” Peter moaned. “Boyd, Erica, Isaac. We aren’t the X Men. We don’t fight crime, we don’t have costumes.”
“Well that seems like a waste.”
“Oh go ahead, boy wonder, try and save someone with those poisonous fingers. Would you put them away? We have business to discuss.”
~~~
Or, a car accident leaves Stiles with the power to kill everything he touches. When Talia Hale manhandles him into living at her mysterious boarding home with others of less freaky powers, he meets Derek, whose touch heals. Making him the only person who can touch Stiles.
A Haunting Game of Telephone by StupidGenius
Sterek | Mature
“I didn’t think they’d react like this.” Laura admits. Stiles waves a hand around.
“Really? You didn’t think they’d maybe react badly to some rando showing up and telling them he’s been talking to the ghost of their long dead sister?” He huffs, irritated.
“We’re werewolves! It wouldn’t be the weirdest thing that happened!”
---
Stiles can see and talk to ghosts. He's not entirely thrilled by it, but if he gets a boyfriend out of it, maybe it's not so bad.
Always at Night by TriDom
Stetopher | Explicit
During the day, Chris could leave his phone at home. It's almost always silent. Allison is dead. Isaac is in France. He doesn't talk to his family. But at night, he can count on texts from the sheriff's son or Peter Hale. For very different reasons.
At World's End (Another Begins) by cywscross
Steter | Teen
If Talia were here, she would roll her eyes and say, “He has to put up with you. Of course it would take someone literally from another world.”
But Peter likes to think he just has high standards. Especially since Stiles always gets so adorably smug when he says as much.
Don't Wake Me Up by Rawren (Deshonanana)
Sterek | Teen
"Look at me," Laura commanded. The druid remained still, but Derek could see the way his lip twitched and his heart beat picked up just the tiniest bit. Laura grabbed at his chin, forcing his head up. "Look at me."
At first, there was no response, a split second of hesitation, and then the druid's eyes came up, ghosting over Laura's face for a moment and then focusing on some distant point past her ear.
"Good enough." Laura muttered, letting go and turning to Derek. "Get this one," she snapped.
Failing by TriDom
Stetopher | Explicit
Stiles goes home to Beacon Hills after five years away. He gets set up in an apartment with the help of his dad and starts taking classes at the local university. The town is old and it's boring, it's safe and it's stable. It's just the kind of place that Stiles needs to get his feet back underneath him, after managing to completely fuck his life.
I Went Walking After Midnight by Batwynn
Sterek | Mature
Stiles never really gets a lot of opportunity for surprises or spontaneity in his job. Sure, sometimes there’s a falling piano (classic!), or a bear exiting stage left, or a giant snowman collapsing on the town hall literally seconds after setting the world record for the world’s largest snowman. But after a while, even those fantastical events fade in his memory, and really, it’s not like anything changes.
Everybody dies.
_______
Stiles picks up dead people, Scott mans the gate room, and Derek Hale doesn't die like he's supposed to.
Let There Be Light ( And It Was Good) by Batwynn
Sterek | Mature
Stiles is born into a world where the Unmated remain blind and fragile until found by their (usually) Werewolf Mate. He strongly believes that tbiz entire thing is a huge pile BS. In fact, he's spent most of his 17 years on this earth trying to fix a system that's done nothing but segregate and enslave humans, regardless of their Alpha/Beta/Omega status. Obviously, things a little different once he finds a real mate.
Not everything is what you read in the news, after all.

Do you know any fics where they all hide the fact they’re werewolves from stiles and stiles is mad that no one told him :)
EHere’s some werewolf reveal!
First Impressions Are Overrated by Leslie_Knope
(1/1 I 14,463 I Teen I Sterek)
In Stiles’ defense, he didn’t deliberately ram his grocery cart into the (evidently precarious) pyramid of oranges.
Growing Up With You by WhereAreTheBreaks
(18/18 I 22,716 I Teen I Sterek)
It all started with a strange scent in the grocery store, and now Derek can't imagine his life without the hyperactive little shit that is Stiles Stilinski. He didn't know why he always felt the need to be close to the boy but his mom's knowing looks certainly weren't helping.
Maybe There’s Blood in This Stone Yet by Batwynn
(6/? I 32,414 I Teen I Sterek)
Stiles and his dad move into a small town just in time for his junior year in high school. His dad gets the cushy sheriff job, presumably all desk work and less being shot at, and Stiles gets to meet new people.
Like the thing that chaises him through the woods his third day in, or the group of teenagers who call themselves a pack, or Deputy Hale, who has the most amazing eyes Stiles has ever seen, and who also knows weird things about him without even asking. All in all, Beacon Hills is turning out to be anything but boring.
When You're Close I Feel the Sparks by Leslie_Knope
(4/4 I 39,671 I Mature I Sterek)
The guy is hot as hell, sure—leather jacket and glasses, Jesus, be still Stiles' poor, bisexual, beating heart—but more importantly, it must really suck being new on the first day of senior year.
“We’re adopting him,” he decides, tugging Scott and Kira by the elbow in that direction. “Let’s go.”
Suspicious Minds by HaleHole (SweetFanfics)
(1/1 I 40,105 I Explicit I Sterek)
“Don’t feed Balto your pizza,” Stiles mildly warns his daughter.
“Derek.”
Stiles pauses, mouth open and cheese sliding off the pizza as he parrots, “Derek? Who’s Derek?”
His daughter rolls her eyes, like Stiles has just asked her the dumbest question ever. “The wolf, Daddy!”
“You changed his name?” Stiles asks in surprise. Usually she’s pretty set about naming things. Her doll’s name was decided two seconds after receiving it, the car has been Alonzo for three years now, and the toaster ‘Pop’ for the last six months.
Meg nods, prodding the sliding cheese back on top of her slice. “Yeah. He told me his name is Derek. And that he doesn’t really like Balto.”
“Is that right?” he asks, eyeing the wolf who seems far too interested in watching a pair of animated moose arguing. It’s official. This wolf is weird. This whole situation is weird.
--Separated from Laura after being cornered by some hunters, an injured Derek finds himself being rescued by Stiles and his young daughter. In more than one way.
Sleeping through time by thingwithfeathers
(14/? I 65,142 I Teen I Steter)
Peter runs away from home after a falling out with his alpha. She has done something to his mind, and he doesn’t want to stay for her to do more damage. He finds himself in front of a giant tree stump deep into the preserve and thinks it’s a perfect place to rest for the night. Before falling asleep he wishes for something better, for someone who could care about him.
You should be careful what you wish for. Sometimes wishes come true.
Stiles is running through the woods because he can’t sleep. Maybe exercise will work. It feels right. And nothing happens in Beacon Hills.
It feels like he has miscalculated terribly when he hears the first scream. But he runs towards it anyway.
Just the Same by ericaismeg
(7/7 I 68,066 I Explicit I Sterek)
Something is seriously up with the captain of the lacrosse team. There's just no way Derek Hale is human.***“I was wondering if you're even human. You move so quickly. I mean, it's ridiculously fast. No human should be able to move that fast, y'know? It's unfair for us. I mean, it's obvious you work out, and I don't, so that could be why, but like...I was just wondering if you were human, that's all.”
“Stop talking, Stilinski, or I'll—”
“Put me on the bench all season?” Stiles asks knowing full well that Derek Hale can't threaten him with shit.
One life stand by Vendelin
(6/6 I 84,278 I Explicit I Sterek)
Stiles is used to selling himself to make ends meet. But it's getting harder to keep those ends meeting, and there's only so much of Stiles to go around. Until a too-fancy car shows up in his neighborhood, and he meets Derek Hale.
All Derek wants is Stiles's time, someone to stay on his arm for events and smile for the cameras. It's the easiest job Stiles has ever had, the best-paying one he's ever had, and he's more than happy to sign up.
Derek is everything and nothing Stiles expects him to be, with his tailored suits, sharp mind and his quiet way of caring. But it's just a job and Stiles never meant to fall in love.
Hallowed Grounds by damnfancyscotch
(16/16 I 109,578 I Mature I Sterek)
Everything in Beacon Hills is the same when Stiles comes home from college.
Well, except for the fact that he's a published author now, Scott is halfway across the world with a travelling circus, Erica's epilepsy has been cured, her boss offers him a job too, and there's this weird black dog that seems to be following him around just to judge him.
Oh, and the murders, of course.
But other than that stuff... totally the same old BH.
The Moon Lives (In The Lining of Your Skin) by Quixoticity
(28/30 I 130,261 I Explicit I Sterek)
Stiles is doing fine. Okay, so he didn't expect to be a single father to an infant daughter at the tender age of twenty-three, but it's working out great. And no, he didn't expect to be a curator in Beacon Hills Museum, where weird things happen with no explanation, but he's rolling with it. And he seems to have acquired a new brother now that his dad's gotten engaged, which, odd, but hey, Stiles is flexible, and there's no such thing as too much love, right?
But then the next twist comes in the form of mysterious new neighbour Derek Hale, who is both insanely angry at the world (it's possible he's murdered people with his eyebrows alone), and adorably good with children. He's also in possession of a truly excellent butt.
Stiles is doomed.

Fandoms & Me
Spoiler: this is gonna to be a long-ass post
OK so I did a not-so-little list of questions about fandoms because I needed an excuse to talk and I wanted to do a sort of a recap for 2020.
Feel free to use it, as a tag game, as a 1 like= 1 answer.. Whatever you want!
Also yes the format is inspired by another list of questions about shipping lmao. (I have to finish it btw....)
I had been reading Fairy Tail and One Piece fics before but the first fandom I really got into is Harry Potter!
Well technically I started reading on Skyrock lmao. But the first true platform dedicated to fics I used was FFnet
I think it was Tomarry and Drarry
I'm really focused on the MCU and its fandom currently but I do enjoy content from other fandoms sometimes (like HP, SPOP, Lore Olympus…)
FROSTIRONSTRANGE. Ironstrange and frostiron are my second faves. I discovered frostiron while I was watching the MCU (I mean.... IT'S SO EVIDENT????) and started reading fics about it. Ironstrange was also evident but frostiron was first. For frostironstrange it was with the @frostironstrange blog (and their fic on Ao3) and it's later that I really jumped on the ironstrange and strangefrost wagon.
Yep. I'm very focused on my main ships but I'm always ready to enjoy good content about other ships I like. Especially beautiful fanarts and cool headcanons.
Obviously. I could die for polyships. They make my little heart go doki doki *loud sniffles*. Apart for frostironstrange there is also Draco/Harry/Tom, avengers OT6 (or more), Sam/Steve/Bucky......... Basically if I can polyship I will.
I love the 2012 avengers fics' headcanons. And I think I have a lot of headcanon I like for HP but it's because the fandom basically rewrote the whole universe. HP belongs to the fandom and Mrs Dementor can eat my ass.
I'm firmly pro-ship: ship and let ship, your kink is not my kink and it's okay, I'll never condone harassment and hate in fandoms. I encourage ppl to use tools they have blocking, muting unfollowing, to curate their online experience.
Well 2020 basically brought me everything. A new fandom, a new ship to dedicate my whole soul to. I discovered Ao3 (and THAT'S amazing). I started actively reading and talking in English (very proud). And most of all: I started WRITING FICS and even tried to DRAW. I mean. There was so little content, I had so many ideas for this ship. I decided to start creating the content I searched for. ALSO I COMMISSIONED FOR THE FIRST TIME AN AMAZING FANART SKXJSKXJSK. And I discovered amazing people to talk with and share about ours ships 💖💖💖💖
Huum... It's really rare for me to like a fic writer so much that I go read everything they wrote. But there are some French fic writers in the HP fandoms who's fics I absolutely love (one of them is Magouille on FFnet). And I think I admire Rosae on Ao3 a lot.
I discovered Rosae (@frostironstrange) year! Their works introduced me to frostironstrange, the amount of content and headcanons they created for frostironstrange is truly amazing. It really inspires me and encourages me to create as much content as I want to.
Yep. I'm thinking about several fics. One of them is Vlad Kemenov ou la Vengeance des Potter, a French Harry Potter fic written by Magouille on FFnet. It's truly excellent! It starts as Vlad Kemenov growing up in the Russian magic mafia's circles and the author creates a whole universe around it. The characters, the ideas, the plot, the several political/diplomatic etc intrigues over the years are so well written. It's truly captivating and a fabulous jewel.
There is also The Black Heir by FirePhoenix8 on FFnet, an excellent Tomarry fic in English.
Revenge is so sweet in French by Elisabeth Canden on FFnet. SO GOOD but alas abandoned.
Very known, it's the most famous HP fic but Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. I only read the first 20 chapters of this last Fic but trust me. In the first chapter I understood why it was one of the most popular HP fic. Genius.
And also An Aunt's love by Emma Lipardi on FFnet in English is excellent as well.
I didn't read a lot this year but I loved:
Worldbuilding is important by Rosae on Ao3 (amazing frostironstrange smut)
Kinktober 2018 fics by Meshkol on Ao3 (god-level written smuts...... Just. Wow. It takes my breath away)
Iron infinity by DuncanIdaho2014 on FFnet, this is an infinity War fix it fic with Tony being an atrocious Gary Tsu. It's one of the first mcu fics I read and I have a fond spot for epic Gary Tsu (and Mary Sue as well).
Poetic Justice by Limmet. OF COURSE, a true frostiron reference. the first longfic I read in English.
Collared by HogwartsToAlexandria, an amazing ironstrange fic....... Wow. WOW. So well written..... And I love D/s fics......
Il souriait by Asrial on FFnet in French.... It's Tony being Ares' reincarnation and WOW. WOOW. BAMF Tony Stark, homoerotism, interesting spiritual vision
Shit I forgot to put this number. It's the ghost-question.
My favorite fanartists are @sed269, @Kraionis, @Blackrain1019 (on Twitter), @hackedmotionsensors, @fu-king-liar, mokonosuke7, @batwynn..... OH MY GOD THERE IS SO MUCH INCREDIBLY TALENTED AND AMAZING ARTISTS I WANT TO THANK THEM SO MUCH. Their art is always breathtaking 😭😭😭😭💖💖💖💖💖💖 I honestly can't list all the awesome fanartists we're blessed to have.
Literally all of the fanarts of the artists listed above lmao. ❤️ But ok, I'm fond of every frostironstrange fanarts, I always keep a list of them lmaooo. (especially fond of the one I commissioned of course 💖💖💖)
I love all these ppl giving recs and headcanons for their ships. It's so precious. Thank you so much.
I also love ppl creating incorrect quotes like @shinindragon for frostiron, @salty-ironstrange-shipper and @stark-strange-love2 for ironstrange.
Currently my wallpaper is this absolutely breathtaking and gorgeous fanart by @sed269 💕💕💕💕 I can't express how much this is truly an outstanding work of art. My love for it is unlimited.
20. Okay, to be perfectly honest I almost created this list of questions only for this question and the next.
21.
22. Well. I always have so many ideas I'm overwhelmed most of the time but I love creating things (fics, headcanons, incorrect quotes...) with these ideas to share them.
Content call content. Ideas call ideas.
Also, my advice is: ALWAYS NOTE YOUR IDEAS. ALL OF THEM. even the silly ones, the embarrassing ones, the most self-indulgent ones... Bc no u won't remember clearly all of them without noting them. Bc they can always grow into more. Bc the more you note, the more you have ideas
23. There are so many WIPs I'm excited for.... I think one day I'll dedicate a whole thread/post about them. (I feel too lazy to talk about all of them rn lmao)
#Me monologuing#Fandoms & me#If you read everything wow. You're very brave.#I like to talk#The advantage of doing myself the questions is that I talk only about what I want

it’s @batwynns birthday and we were being silly on the frostiron discord a bit ago, so now there’s Tony’s goatee in his icon and this is my interpretation of it XD
and then we talked about Loki pranking Tony like that and somehow the other two doodles came about XD

I’ve been turning on the pretty, battery-run string lights in my living room every day now, and it’s finally settled in my heart what it means to actually use things and not save them for a later that might not exist.
#use the fine china#turn on your string lights#eat well#drink that tea you’ve been saving#don’t save everything for later#sometimes you don’t get one#and it makes life a little better#my living room is full of little glowing bees and vines#from the dollar store#it’s better#I apreciate them#and I will use them#later isn’t promised#Batwynn Talks

UnderappreciatedSterek 2017 Masterpost
I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since I started this blog, or that I’ve managed to rack up a total of 108 recs so far!
Special thanks to @notvirginawoolf for the many recs they sent in over the year, and also to every other person who made a submission. I still have plenty to get around to, so keep an eye out for many more recs to come!
I’ve started the list with some of my personal favourites, with everything under the cut in rec order (sorry in advance for mobile users!) I can guarantee no matter which fic you pick, you’ll find an overlooked gem on the other side.
(I ended up having trouble whenever I exited edit mode when making this post where all the links would disappear. I had to remove some of the author tags to keep them working, but then they disappeared if I used the banner I’d made. So if the links aren’t there when this goes live... I’ll try working on it again T_T If you find any mistakes, please let me know, though I’m honestly loath to touch this again!)
A Bid from Midnight by Zercalo | 5572w | General
Derek’s been holed up in the middle of nowhere for a few months now, so Stiles makes a detour to check up on him. Because Scott is worried. (Scott is not that worried.)
And Pink Shoelaces by LupusScintilla (inkandblade) | 8842w | Mature
It was Derek’s turn. It had to be. He looked at the comm-disc in his hand. Even if he had to debase himself with going to this damned matchmaking service, he was determined to find his mate.
Any Other Name by twobirdsonesong | 979w | General
Stiles just wants to know what he smells like to Derek.
Counting Kisses by carolion | 327w | General
Derek has not kissed anyone in a very long time. But this is the first time he really wants to again.
Dealing with Werewolves by foolish_mortal | 2565w | General
In which Stiles runs away to live with the dragons and meets a werewolf.
In spite of all you knew and said by Azul_Bleu | 2700w | Mature
The road streams behind them, mile upon mile until Stiles can’t say where they even started, and Stiles talks so he won’t have to remember.
Or, Derek and Stiles deal with being the ones left behind. They’re not great at it.
(Set post an imaginary S3, where the Alphas win. Spectacularly.)
i've got someone else in mind by blueinkedbones | 2845w | General
“That’s just a mutual thing we have going on!” Stiles argues. “Like an unspoken arrangement, you know?”
Erica is generally smug at him. Stiles slumps.
“Of love, you’re saying. We have an unspoken arrangement of love, and it’s so unspoken neither of us knows about it.”
Keystone (3-part series) by Chandri / @chandri | 106,961w | Explicit
A world without parents is a lonely, portless world with no safety and no justice - this is a truth Stiles Stilinski learned when he was very young. But at nine years old, at twelve, he couldn’t understand just how true it was; that the powerful, indefinable wrongness that obscured his memories of his mother was more than a child’s sense of unfairness at having his mom taken away.
It’s not until a globetrotting great-aunt blows back into town after a many-years absence that it starts to dawn on him: that his mother’s death was anything but natural; that it was certainly anything but fair.
Reindeer in the (Library) Closet by Rainfallen | 3247w | Teen
Derek just wanted to put the spare network cables away and escape from Erica, not get accosted in the storage closet by a boy wearing the most atrocious Christmas sweater he’s ever seen. On second thought, though, the accosting maybe wasn’t such a bad idea.
The Field by Gimmie | 1625w | General
When he turned back to the field, he zoned in on the sudden appearance of Derek Hale, being led by the hand toward the meadow. He looked hesitant, but the girl was smiling with her head tilted and persuading him, pulling him along. Stiles stopped eating, stopped breathing, and stared as the older boy that he always noticed, as if he had a radar that could detect his presence, was finally led onto the field. The delay was not for lack of trying by the human girls of Beacon Hills High.

We Pick Ourselves Undone by StilesInTheGlade | 1583w | General
It was a habit, maybe even a compulsion, that Derek noticed in the aftermath of the Nogitsune. Stiles would periodically count off his fingers. One by one, from the thumb of his left hand to the thumb of his right, long fingers ticking as he marked them off, lips silently moving along, one, two, three…
when i look at you (oh, i don't know what's real) by verity | 1304w | Mature
Scott slows his pace during cross-country and falls back from Isaac to join Stiles at the rear of the group. “Hey, have you seen Derek recently?” Scott says, faux-casual like Stiles hasn’t watched him try to lie to their parents since they were five.
“Nope,” Stiles says. “Haven’t seen him in a week.” Unless he counts the Derek he dreams about on the regular, but if Stiles has learned anything from Lydia Martin and his umpteen-year-plan, it’s that the people in your dreams and the people in your reality are never one and the same.
Fuck Me in the Ass Cause I Love Jesus by WriteByNight | 3370w | Mature
Now that Stiles was a college graduate and still living at home, he had decided to help out as the organ player for the duration of the summer. The last organist had unexpectedly kicked the bucket and although there were a few people with more experience than Stiles, no one had the free time that he did so he’d reluctantly accepted the position.
Stiles thought it would put him back in the big guy’s good graces after all the fucking up he’d done as a kid…teen…okay, his entire life.
There wasn’t really another benefit to the arrangement. Stiles didn’t even have a keyboard at home, so he had to come to church every Wednesday and Saturday and practice for the Sunday services. Luckily, some of the more experienced players covered the choir practices for him. Playing and hearing hymns three times a week was more than enough for him.
However, about a week and a half into his time as organist he’d come across another perk. The groundskeeper and maintenance man, Derek Hale.
You’ve got me slippin’ and a slidin’ by ElisAttack / @iamonlydancing | 3683w | General
The snowmobile stutters to a halt on the banks of the river and Derek smiles when he sees a few ravens flying in circles in the distance. The salmon are here.
“Seems like I’m your lucky charm,” Stiles says with a wink.
Or the one where Derek lives in the middle of nowhere, and is probably in love with his delivery boy.

Like Immortality by Idday | 4815w | Teen
Dear Derek,
All these words, and what I’m trying to say is simple.
I want to love you like you deserve to be loved. I want to share your triumphs, your burdens, your full moons and your new. I want you to be as sure of my love as you are the phases of the moon.
I want to love you like the moon loves you.
(I told you that one day I would write you a love letter).

OR, Stiles and Derek, in letters, through the years.

Thin Mints and Meddling by myhomeboy_stilinski | 5388w | Teen
Stiles would be the first person to admit that living in a small town had its drawbacks, with privacy being non-existent and sneaking around near impossible. But there was something to be said about the solidarity and loyalty that filled a close-knit community. People stood up for one another. They contributed and helped. They loved each other. Truthfully, Stiles pitied those who incited the wrath of someone from Beacon Hills.
To Stiles’ eternal gratitude, he had never prompted said wrath.
That is, until he met Derek Hale.
****
The one where the people of Beacon Hills realize that Derek Hale deserves nice things (in case you missed the tags.)

Okay Will Get Us Through by clotpolesonly / @clotpolesonly | 41,955w | Mature
It was supposed to be a peaceful fucking protest. Stiles heard the first shot loud and clear, though, and was too boxed in to duck, even as his stomach felt like it fell out of his body entirely. For a second all he could think was “Scott is gonna be so mad, I said it would be fine, I promised,” and then he was falling.

Decision by verushka70 | 17,398w | Explicit
Derek goes out to bars wishing he’d never been born and gives himself to almost anyone who wants to take him home. He wets his face in the sweat that runs down men’s chests and doesn’t shower after. Back home, the scents dare Laura to say something. She never does.
Derek grabs her in a quick hug. “I’m fine,” he murmurs, face tucked into her hair, scenting sister, pack, family, love. They both know it’s not true. But she lets it go.
The Devil You Know by verushka70 | 14,629w | Explicit
“So,” Derek says like it’s utterly obvious. (It’s not, it’s totally not). It’s hard to know how to take someone you can’t really read.
His tongue licks between Stiles’ lips like all of this was never in question. Was it? No, not really, because: Derek.
Gut Feeling by Chubstilinski / @chubstilinski | 29,842w | Explicit
Stiles was maybe, possibly, mildly obsessed with his favorite regular, Deputy Derek Hale. But in his defense, Derek seemed just as obsessed with Stiles. Or at least, Stiles’s baked goods, if his appetite for sweets and increasing waistline were anything to go by.

A Taunting of Ravens to You by keelover | 17,830w | Mature
Stiles, plagued by uncertainty, would like to know whether or not he would be strong enough to survive the bite.

the wilderness (3-part series) by ceserabeau | 9202w | Explicit
When Stiles pictured Derek’s return to Beacon Hills, he never imagined this: late night in the cereal aisle at the grocery store, Stiles in sweatpants and a shirt long overdue a wash, glancing left from the Captain Crunch and Lucky Charms to find Derek Hale, four feet away, pulling a box of muesli off the shelf.

Stiles is home for Thanksgiving break. He traveled across the country from Columbia University and is looking forward to spending time with Scott and his dad and stuffing his face on Thursday.

It’s moments when Stiles feels the dull pull of the bruises on his hips, moments when he can’t sleep on his stomach because the throbbing ache does nothing for a good night’s sleep, it’s those moments that make him feel worthless.
Makes him hate Derek with a passion that burns brighter than anything else he feels.

Stiles doesn’t laugh.
It’s not something that Derek has ever put much thought into before, because he’s never had a reason to focus on something that’s never been there before. But Stiles doesn’t laugh – he snarks with sly lips and snorts in indignation when he thinks that he’s heard something completely foolish and he huffs out a noise of victory when he succeeds at something but Stiles doesn’t laugh.

“I need a fic of Stiles leaving Beacon Hills to find Derek because he can’t deal with that town and it’s people anymore.
I want Derek doing some grocery shopping and then Stiles scent hits him hard and he just kinda whimpers and follows it till he finds Stiles there looking at him.
I want Derek asking Stiles how did he find him and Stiles just shrugs and says he had a feeling.
I want Stiles following Derek to his car when Derek tilts his head motioning to the parking lot because they don’t need words.
And then finally when they’re inside Derek’s little apartment (there’s nothing fancy about it but it’s homey and there are pictures of Cora and him on the walls) Stiles finally crumbles and Derek just holds him.”
Meddling Ghosts by haipanda / @haihaipanda | 1837w | General

REASONS I WOULD DATE DEREK HALE by Idday | 7284w | Teen
When Stiles moves back to Beacon Hills after college, he pretty much immediately decides to convince Derek Hale to date him.
Unfortunately for him, it seems as though they’re not on the same page. Like, Derek thinks Stiles hates him (and apparently, so does everybody else). And surprisingly, none of Stiles SUPER ROMANTIC (screw you, Scott) plans to woo Derek seem to be working. Probably because Derek still thinks Stiles is making fun of him. Or something.
But Stiles is nothing if not stubborn. He’s going to win Derek over. No matter what.
His 10 point lists are definitely going to help (no matter what Lydia says).

Caught between the Hales and the Argents in their war, Stiles finds himself a slave of the great Hale pack. Stiles spends each day working hard, hoping to earn his freedom and see his sick father. It also seems each day he’s capturing more and more attention from Derek, the young Hale lord. Stiles tells himself it’s mostly because Derek is merely trying to figure out how to send the annoying, useless slave away- not because of affection, despite the tales coming from the rumor mill.
It doesn’t matter what Derek’s intentions are. Stiles can’t bother with love right now. He’s got to keep his head down and survive long enough to keep his promise to Kate Argent. After all, she’s promised to keep his father safe.
Occasionally Domestic (Series) by Little Spoon (JaydenNara) | 36,523~w | Explicit

“First of all, having me come out from here and then tossing me to the dinos kinda defeats the purpose of it all, since I already am in a dinosaur cage. Second, Stegosauruses are herbivores, which means they will definitely pass on biting my rear end. And third, my butt is not scrawny, though I didn’t know you were even looking, Coach. I’m flattered.”
“BILINSKI!!”
Derek groaned. “Oh no.”

Spell It Out For Me by chubstilinski | 14,766w | Explicit
But now Stiles was, well. He was fat. Not extremely so, just a little chubby, really, but it was exaggerated, every curve highlighted by the tightness of clothes made for a slender body. His Clark Kent slacks clung to thick thighs and cut into his hips. A substantial belly and small muffin top spilled over the waistband, stretching the buttons on his clean shirt. Derek could see the swell of his chest where the Superman logo peeked out from the undone top buttons, and he felt like he was going crazy. Stiles was gorgeous.

First thing’s first, Derek is a liar.
1) Stiles is absolutely not afraid.

So these appeared on my dash together (that is @batwynn 'a cat) and all I can see is Stiles, after a couple years heading up the supernatural task force in the FBI, comes home one night after a particularly nasty day, hoping to clean up and crawl into bed and disappear from the world for a few days, only to realize that there's something else in his apartment. Which is incredibly weird and upsetting since he's had this place warded like crazy for years, so whatever it is must be really freaking powerful, so Stiles grabs his gun and starts investigating, slowly and silently creeping through the apartment as he follows the sounds of another creature. Of course, when he finds the creature, it's...a cat? Huh, well, that actually makes more sense, because his wards wouldn't actually keep out a regular cat. And then stiles feels like an idiot, pointing his gun at a cat, so he un-cocks the gun and holsters it before bending down to investigate the cat, talking to it, asking it who it is and what it's doing there. The cat, of course, doesn't respond aside from a plaintive "meow" and a glare that could rival Derek Hale's. Which reminds him of the guy, so he sends Derek a text, just to say hello and see how he's doing. No response is immediately forthcoming from either party, so stiles feeds the cat some tuna and tries to figure out what to do with the cat, even going so far as to ask the neighborhood gossip if she knows anyone who may have lost a cat? But when he goes to leave the apartment, the cat refuses to stay, and in fact follows him, sticking to him like he had catnip in his pockets. After several days of basically being stalked by this cat, Stiles starts to suspect that there may be more than meets the eye going on with it. Also, he still hasn't heard from Derek, which is...worrying. Sure, Derek can usually take care of himself, but he's also been prone to being kidnapped and tortured for as long as Stiles has known him, so Stiles may be concerned. After several more long days, and another particularly bad day, Stiles again comes home exhausted, only this time he's accompanied by the cat. The cat who happened to show up at the showdown with the harpies and yowl at just the right moment to make stiles turn and catch one of the harpy's claws before they would have eviscerated him. So Grumpy Cat (what Stiles has taken to calling his animal companion, due to his perpetual glaring expression) gets tuna AND chicken for dinner, and Stiles gets a hot bath, and they both end up on Stiles's bed, even though previously the cat would flat-out refuse to get on the bed with Stiles. So Stiles starts to pet Grumpy Cat gently, earning him some purring and a couple of chin butts as the cat rubs against his prone form. And while stroking his feline friend, Stiles picks up his phone, opening his texts and staring at Derek's unanswered one. "Der, where are you?" he sighs, only to be answered by a particularly plaintive meow and Grumpy Cat staring him in the face. Stiles snorts and starts to be a little more attentive with the cat, giving him a good rub. "Sorry, dude, it's just my...friend. He usually responds when I text him, so I'm starting to get worried. "Mrrrooow." Stiles snorts, "yeah, he can take care of himself. Doesn't stop me from my worrying, though." The cat paws at Stiles's chin. "You remind me of him, you know? Grumpy attitude, overprotective...you even have the same eyebrows." Stiles stares at the cat's face, suddenly noticing something new. "And the same eyes...wait..." Stiles turns the cat around, hands skimming down the cat's back, brushing its fur the wrong way so he can get a look at its skin. And there, between the animal's shoulder blades, is the familiar triskelion tattoo. Stiles turns the cat around again, looking him straight in the eye. "Der? Is that you?" A grumbly meow and an eye roll are the cat's response. Which, can cats even roll their eyes? Wait, holy shit, that means that Stiles's new cat...is Derek! Cue shenanigans as Stiles tries to figure out how Derek got changed into a cat and how to change him back, featuring lots of grumbling on both parts, and an eventually cuddle-happy Derek Hale. In the end, Derek and Stiles figure out their shit and One morning, as stiles gets ready to go back to work, Derek corners him on the couch and straddles his lap, pressing soft kisses against him. After some cuddling and light making out, Derek tries to get up, only to be kept in place by Stiles's arms. When Derek asks Stiles, "shouldn't you be heading in to work?" Stiles responds, "hmm, have to call in. My lap has been chosen by my cat and I cannot move lest I disturb him. They'll understand."

Tutorial/ Work process
I remembered I promised (back in January, uff) to make some kind of tutorial or work process of this artwork, after some of you asked me.
So, here you go, from the beginning to the end in more or less 25 steps with photos and three short videos and comments :D.
Everything’s under the cut, because it’s a lot.
(That are my tools, but most times I just use the 0,35 mm mechanical pencil with a H lead... and DIN A4 190g/m³ paper and transparent paper.)
It actually just started with a weird dream I had of Peter Hale, after I read few fanfictions by @thisdiscontentedwinter . So, the plan was to start a simple drawing of Peter to get him out of my head, ha. (You see how that worked..)
Step 1: Looking for references and drawing a sketch on transparent paper. It’s easier to clean the lines and get it clean on paper.
A post shared by Naoru (@suis0u) on Jan 17, 2017 at 3:17am PST
Step 2: When the draft is on paper, I go for the details and shades.
Step 3: So, this was supposed to be the finish drawing. I actually didn’t mean to draw any further.
Step 4: But the next evening I looked at it and thought: Why not draw him some flowers? So I googled some wolfsbane photos and started to draw. (.. the rope just had to be there too.)
Step 5: After the wolfsbane flowers, I felt like the drawing was incomplete.. so I spend few minutes starring at it and thought: Why not a wolf head, since he is a werewolf? So I googled wolves, observed my dog a bit and started to draw again.
Step 6: Here I was again, after I finished the wolf head... thinking that the drawing was finish now. But, nope. I need to say, the days I worked on this, I continued to read fanfictions by @thisdiscontentedwinter ... so maybe that’s why I got the idea of drawing Derek the same way as Peter, just as his opposite or something like that.
Step 7: And again, transparent paper. It’s not even easier for sketching and clean lines, but also when I’m not sure how I want to continue with the motive and which distance I want to have between them.
A post shared by Naoru (@suis0u) on Jan 20, 2017 at 8:15am PST
Step 8: Since there wasn’t enough space on Peters paper, Derek got a new one, so I could decide later how I will combine both of them. Here I’m tracing the lines after I copied everything from the transparent paper... and tried already thinking about a story behind the motive, uff.
Step 9: I finished Dereks details and wanted to draw something around him too, like Peters flowers and the rope. After a small talk with @batwynn I got the idea of the triskele and Dereks chains as symbols for the dead family and his guilt feelings he thinks to deserve.
Step 10: I hate to draw chains.
Step 11: After Derek got his flowers and wolfs head too, I pushed both drawing together or rather on above the other to decide for the final size in the end.. and started to think, what I will draw in between them, because I had to draw something in between them.
Step 12: I came up with the idea of a fight between Peter and Derek, since both their wolves are rather aggressive. Maybe a fight about someone? And since I read fanfictions about Sterek and Steter, it was rather easy to think about someone, ke ke.
Step 13: But I still wanted to draw something that connects both, so a part of their past... the ruin of the old Hale house. I looked through some screenshots from the series to get a good idea how to draw it. I also teared the drawings of Peter and Derek in a way like it would fit, to have enough space for the middle part.
Step 14: Trees of course. I love to draw trees.
A post shared by Naoru (@suis0u) on Jan 29, 2017 at 9:32am PST
Step 15: Even more trees and details for the house.
Step 16: As the house and the trees were finish, I put everything together and thought about, how to bring Stiles in the whole situation. I actually haven’t thought about his story.
Step 17: So, even when I wasn’t sure about his story and still had only few rough ideas, I don’t wanted the observer (so, you guys ;D) to see his complete face. So, I’ve drawn him from behind first..
Step 18: .. and than a closer look of his face, like he is in the move to look behind over his shoulder and directly at the observer like Peter and Derek.
You also can see again, why I like to work with transparent paper, because I wasn’t sure again which way I wanted to have it.
Step 19: I put everything together again to look over it and decide what I will draw more for Stiles. (I needed some time..)
Step 20: So, is he magic or is he not? But with that, the drawing was finish..
Step 21: .. and I could started with the coloration.
Step 22: Of course he is the first one to start. The middle part was supposed to look darker, because I had the imagine of the house and Stiles nearby in the middle of the night under the full moon. And his red hoodie. Like the only other color in the end.
Step 23: That’s why there is the moon behind Stiles head. I used different textures for his skin, the moon, the hoodie and the background. I mostly work with some textures.
Step 24: After Stiles and the house with the trees were finished, I started with the wolves.
Step 25: I tried with more colors, like the wolfsbane with its actually color, but it didn’t worked with the red of Stiles hoodie, so I changed the flowers and finished everything... with both wolves having red eyes. I don’t know why, but I liked the idea of Peter and Derek both being Alphas.
So, then the artwork was finish and you can see it HERE (with details) and HERE as individual parts.
That’s more or less a normal process for me and it’s rare that I have a complete finish idea in mind before I start to draw, except for illustrations I’ve done for some fanfictions. But mostly I got my ideas while drawing and just go with it and... can surprise myself, what I’ll have in the end :)
Thanks for reading!

There were a few fanfics that of course had kidnapping. Huge trope with the fandom but I remember that there were fanfics where Derek was the one to kidnap Stiles. Would you happen to know any like that?
Sure for you. - Anastasia
Tonight You Belong With Me by dontleaveportland
(1/1 I 847 I Mature)
They had even remained blessedly quiet when Tommy said goodbye with a quick peck on Stiles’s lips. It was his first real kiss, however fleeting. Stiles had been so surprised – though in hindsight it explained why Tommy’s hands had been so sweaty, the teen wiping his jeans every five minutes or so that night.
Stiles only saw one tear slide down Claudia’s cheek, his father quickly putting an arm around his mother’s shoulders and distracting her with the food cleanup. The night really had been perfect.
Killing Moon by Are_you_ever_not_going_to_fall_for_that
(1/1 I 1,834 I Mature)
Stiles and Derek talk in the forest which leads to something Stiles both wants and doesn’t want at the same time. Not a very happy story.
Alpha by Nival_Vixen
(1/1 I 3,257 I Explicit)
Stiles has been kidnapped by a serial killer known only as Alpha. Stiles finds himself far too attracted to the man that's probably going to kill him.
Postmortem by Batwynn
(1/? I 5,939 I Mature)
The Nogitsune is gone, but so are a lot of other people, too. Everyone who's left keeps trying to tell him he'll get better, with time.
The question is: when do they ever have time to heal in Beacon Hills?
Aka: When Stiles needs help, and Derek sort of kidnaps him. [Hey, at least he's trying.]
Full Circle by kaistrex (weishen), klimt
(1/1 I 19,557 I Mature)
Stiles wakes face to face with the muzzle of a black wolf and he does the only thing any sane person would do in such a situation: he screams.
A hand – a furry, claw-tipped but human-shaped hand – comes up to cover his mouth. He follows it with his eyes to a furry wrist disappearing into the sleeve of a leather jacket, up to broad shoulders and to the head of the wolf looming over him sprouting from the collar of a Henley.
A wolf. Wearing clothes.
Stiles sags backwards with relief. It’s okay. He’s just dreaming.
–
All Stiles had wanted to do was warn a newly-returned-to-town Derek Hale that some unsavoury-looking men had put a target on his back. Instead, he gets kidnapped, turned into some sort of human-fox hybrid by a spell gone wrong and, oh yeah, werewolves are a thing.
This is all Scott’s fault.
Last Thing Left To Lose by SylvieW
(6/6 I 24,834 I Teen)
Derek's pack kidnaps Stiles and his friends for reasons unknown. Things don’t go as planned, and Stiles and Derek make an unexpected connection that changes their lives.
Matenapped by xcaellachx
(12/12 I 36,671 I Explicit)
Alpha Derek Hale has known Spark Stiles Stilinski was his mate for over six years. The traumatized Spark had killed the rogue alpha who tried to kill his friend so many years ago and was still scarred by the experience. Now, Stiles was settled in as a magic shop owner and Derek was ready to claim him for his own. The ritual of matenapping was an old but accepted tradition and Derek had his den ready to receive his mate. It was time.
Stiles Stilinski thought Lydia was insane for thinking the sexy alpha wanted to matenap him. He was damaged by his past and determined to stay single so he didn't harm anyone. He kept his magic tightly leashed and couldn't believe that anyone could want him. Not a murderer. Even when the wolf came to see him and touched him gently, winking at him and looking at him longingly, he just couldn't accept it.
Very soon, Stiles wouldn't have a choice but to believe it. Derek was taking his mate and bringing him to his mating den where he would court and woo him until he couldn't help but fall in love with him.
Pack Wars by miss_aphelion
(31/31 I 158,626 I Mature)
Scott liked to call it the Great Pack Divide of 2012.
Derek liked to call Scott an idiot.
(Or the one where Derek kidnaps Stiles to teach Scott a lesson, and ends up learning a few things himself)

frostiron fic recs
i started this ages ago and forgot so here’s an in progress rec list i guess
short fics (like 20,000 words max)
Nasty Patty by Capsicle Games - Tony is on the verge of another panic attack: there’s a body under his feet and it is his fault that it’s there. He helped murder a health inspector with his manager and now has to cover it up. What makes things worse is that his frightening superior has done this several times before, and for some reason, thinks it’s completely normal to bury bodies in the rain. Loki seems to know how to handle the situation, but should Tony trust him? Spongebob AU.
Borrowed Heat by usedupshiver - No, Tony isn’t pleased about the fact that Loki is now a part of the Avengers. He can’t really forgive, he definitely can’t trust, but team is team so he does his best to deal with it. When a magical mishap turns Loki into a dragon – of all things! – it's for some reason still Tony he seeks out for help and protection. So now Tony is stuck with a clingy and demanding dragon for company, until things can hopefully be set right. The rest of the Avengers are not amused, but getting to know Loki in this new skin is letting Tony see the team trickster in a different light. Maybe he’s really not all bad?
Friends Don’t Let Friends by theorytale - For the avengerkink prompt, "Hulk gives someone the shovel talk."
You Say the Sky is Green by Batwynn - When you find your soulmate, fate has a funny way of messing with you. (Because fate's a bitch, don't let anyone convince you otherwise.) Fate thinks it's funny to force you and your one and only to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. It kind of sucks when you're a sarcastic, slightly-untruthful genius and your mate happens to be the God of Lies.
Deice Your Lonely Heart by STARSdidathing - Inside a snowflake like the one on your sleeve, there happened a story you must see to believe. Loki, a Jotun on Mt Jotunheim, was all alone; abhorred and feared by the Midgardians and the Aesir he hadn't seen another soul since he ran away as a child. Tony Stark was a Midgardian who didn't quite fit in with all the Christmas cheer. He needed to climb the Mountain to retrieve something and to get away from all the festivities. Tony was never one to believe in rumors but Loki was never one to believe in miracles. Christmas was just a fairytale and neither of them expected anything else. Grinch!AU.
Battle Scenes by spaceleviathan - Every time the Avengers fought Loki, Tony found himself disappearing from his teammates. And then there was Loki, who kept on taking him away for a reason.
Never Been Better by Batwynn - Tony Stark is dead. Well, he is but he isn’t. No one can see him, or hear him, except for one person. And that guy's really not thrilled about it, but being dead is boring, so maybe Tony will stick around this Loki character.
All The Pretty Girls Can’t Measure To You by Vitanitas - For some reason, the God of Mischief just really wants in Tony's pants. Or: five times Tony turned down Loki’s advances and one time he didn’t.
medium fics (like 50,000 words max)
The Saga of Hug Fortress by theorytale - "Tony and Loki sitting in a room and talking" as described by Rain. Note: Is Pepper/Tony as well.
long fics (like 300,000 words max)
Say Goodbye to Yesterday by melonbutterfly - The day after the invasion Tony wakes up and his tower is intact again; everything is exactly the way it was before this whole mess went down. It doesn’t take him long to catch up but he can’t figure out why he’s in a time loop – so he does what anyone would: fuck things up while trying to find a way to fix this. Somewhere along the way, his priorities change and suddenly he finds himself involved neck-deep in Norse family drama, along with some other stuff.
