Sterek Fic Rec - February 2023. Goodness, this month has been busy. But it is still Feb here so I’m taking it! Please enjoy the below :)

I Can Give You the Constellations by skoosiepants (1/1 | 9K | Teen)

“I’m just going to pretend this isn’t happening. I’m going to close my eyes, and when I open them again, I’ll be back on Atlantis, sleeping in my tiny bunk, eating reconstituted potatoes and putting googly eyes on rocks to freak out Jared.”

Or—

How Captain Derek Hale and Dr. Stiles Stilinski keep managing to save each other’s lives…in space!

5 Times Stiles Said I Love You and 1 Time He Meant It by literaryoblivion (1/1 | 3K | Teen)

Five times Stiles told Derek he loved him, and one time he meant it. (I mean title's pretty self-explanatory right?)

My Friend Thinks You're Cute by fairytalesandfolklore (1/1 | 2K | Teen)

A Sterek College AU And that's when Stiles sees him, standing in the middle of the crowd, swathed in a black leather jacket, eyes alight as he flashes Stiles the most dazzlingly perfect smile. Derek The Music Major. The guy Stiles has had a massive crush on ever since they shared a class together in Stiles's freshman year. The guy who went on to graduate later that spring and leave town to go on tour with his band. The guy who composed such beautiful music that it made Stiles fall even more stupidly in love with him when he happened upon one of his live performances on YouTube the following summer. The guy who wrote the lyrics to the song he’s currently up on stage singing motherfucking karaoke to. Derek Hale, Beacon Hills sweetheart, local legend, and international rising star.

you can wear my sweater (if i can have your heart) by elisela (1/1 | 12K | Teen)

“It’s fine,” Stiles says, but he stops at the bottom of the porch when Derek closes a hand around his elbow. His scent is evening out, mellowing from humiliation to embarrassment, and his heart skips a few beats when Derek touches him. “Really, I misread everything. Jordan said—” he stops, again, and Derek has to stop himself from asking because what Jordan said isn’t the most pressing issue.

“I thought you were joking,” he says, keeping Stiles’ arm still even as he starts to pull away. “Whatever Jordan said, he didn’t tell me. You’ve been teasing me for weeks, I didn’t think this was any different.”

Stiles turns to face him, and this time when he pulls his arm back, Derek lets go. “I’ve been asking you out for weeks,” he says, a thin trace of amusement through the resignation in his voice. “It’s fine, dude, just a misunderstanding. I’ll stop.”

We belong to the light (we belong to the thunder) by GreyHaven (1/1 | 3K | Explicit)

Stiles doesn't want to hurt Derek. Except when he really really does. And who better to hurt than a werewolf who will heal from anything he dishes out?

Not all treasure is silver and gold by princecharmingwinks (10/10 | 26K | Mature | Yes, this is mine!)

Captain Derek Hale is on a mission and he needs a fearless crew. His betrothed has been kidnapped, his family lives in exile and he harbours a dangerous secret. Enter Lady Erica Reyes, the perfect Quartermaster to join the crew. Erica has her own reasons for needing to escape her seaside town. An abusive father with a suggested 'arrangement' has forced her to create her own future.

A Derek and Erica friendship on the high seas, all in the name of love and family. Because not all treasure is silver and gold.

how to court a werewolf by graveltotempo (1/1 | 6K | General)

Stiles accidentally begins a courtship with Derek. Wary at first, the werewolf accepts, and Stiles ticks off all the boxes of a traditional Hale werewolf courting - oblivious to the whole thing.

Because of course he is.

Peter thinks the entire thing is hilarious.

Cora thinks that they deserve each other.

(spoiler alert: they do)

you could be the one that i love by whenwordsmakesense (1/1 | 2K | Teen)

It’s a good time in Beacon Hills.

Stiles thinks so, right until the moment he’s on his fifth bite of burger and his dad’s staring down his own.

“You know, son, one day you are gonna have to make your boyfriend meet me.”

Stiles chokes on his burger.

Dessert's on Me by halcyon1993 (1/1 | 4K | Explicit)

Derek comes home to find Stiles baking in nothing but an apron.

Re-edited 2nd February 2022.

Soulsick by theroguesgambit (1/1 | 3K | Teen)

Derek loathes this idiot of a soulmate, whoever they are. For not coming to Stiles’ call, for being too useless do just to this one simple thing, for failing Stiles, proving how utterly unworthy they are before they’ve ever met him. -- Stiles is cursed with a disease that will eventually destroy his soul unless his soulmate helps strengthen it. The pack performs a ritual to call his soulmate to his side. But days pass and no one appears...

Maybe they're already here?

princecharmingwinks special mention (Derek has some extremely hot lines in this! hot damn! And I love him so protective and Stiles is so smitten)

so now you've got the best of me (come on and take the rest of me) by mangotangos (1/1 | 18K | Explicit)

"It doesn't matter how hot Derek is, how Stiles barely comes up to his shoulders or how Derek's hands could probably fit really snugly around his waist. None of it matters, because he's basically a glorified babysitter for the foreseeable future and Stiles wants him out. Operation annoy Deputy Derek Hale into leaving begins now."

~or, the one where Stiles' dad hires Deputy Derek to be Stiles' bodyguard, Stiles hates him on principle and then 2 seconds later falls in lust (and love) and tries to seduce him into bed with his sexual prowess.

It was my birthday this month and it feels appropriate that I slipped in my big big pirate fic ;) See you all next week!

I’m staring a WIP thingy if anyone wants to join.

RULES:

For fanart artists and fanfic writers, write five of your WIPs’s titles, and then tag five people. (To a certain fandom, like the owl house, Hazbin hotel, etc)

If someone wants to ask you about the work in progress, they can ask you about the one they think is most intriguing by title, and you answer it with (for fanfics) a snippet of the fanfic, and/or (for fanart) give a colour pallet (if you have one) or describe the fanart in a non specific way, to not give away too much of the art.

(AU) Means non-canon fanfic. (Art) is for fanart. Put “//“ after finishing the title before explaining the type and fandom.

REMEMBER THIS IS JUST A GAME. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS, THERE IS NO FORCING.

Here, I’ll start!

Hunter-Centric Fanfic Recommendation List for The Owl House

Because keeping one huge fic list up-to-date wasn’t enough of a challenge for me, I’m back at it.   And this time I’m focusing on my most recent fandom obsession, The Owl House.  Specifically focusing on Hunter, our fandom’s favorite bad but sad boy. 

It should be noted that my personal taste runs toward angst, so angsty fics make up a good portion of this list.  That being said...

***Please observe any tags/warnings on each work before reading, as some stories may deal with triggering topics and situations***

The list will be updated periodically as I find great new stuff. Newly added fics are labeled with ++

Like my other list, this one will be listed in alphabetical order, and will be split into fics over 10k words in length and those under 10k words.

I've Got A Feeling

read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/LDozJdS by fairytalesandfolklore The two of them freeze, gazes finding their way to Nancy like they've only just realized she's here, standing stock still behind the counter, taking in the scene in front of her. She expects to get hit with a sudden wave of wanting for both of them, akin to what she felt yesterday, but just like with Nick, it never comes. Weirder still is the fact she doesn't even seem to be normal attracted to either of them anymore. She looks at them, Tamura in his clean-cut suit, Gil in his rugged bad boy leather jacket, and thinks, ehh, they're alright I guess. Appreciates them in the same way you'd look at a pretty painting in an art gallery. But Ace? Holy shit. He's absolutely gorgeous, and all Nancy wants to do right now is dip her hands directly into the paint.

hi mindofmim, it is I, your secret santa once again (it's weird not having a name to call you by, what's your preferred name?). How's your day going? I hope it's going well or that it improves if it's sort of meh.

I read the fic you recommended and let me tell you, I might've made non-human sounds as I read because it was so good. I just- I was delighted by how intimate the fic felt when the premise of it all was pretty simple. Thank you for that rec, it's definitely going into my bookmarks. Do you have any more where that came from? I was checking Isthatbloodonhisshirt but you were not lying when you said those fics were long, damn.

anyway, my original purpose today was asking if you have any special requests for Santa this year (it me, I'm talking about any requests for this santa lmao). I saw what you liked but there's so much that can fit in 'Holiday' or 'Low Stakes' or 'Pining' that I'd love to know where you stand on those. As a fan of pining myself, I already have an inkling of an idea, but prompts wouldn't hurt either.

anyway, I got distracted and this got long, have a good day/night, sweet sterek dreams

-au revoir your (not actually french) Secret Santa

Good Day Secret Santa!

You're asks never fail to make me smile! You can call me Mim ^_^ I had the most boring day but got lots of writing done so at least it was good for something today.

I'm so glad you liked my rec! I wish I had more like Can I...?, after all the heavy consent and touch adverse/touch starved thing is extremely dear to my heart (I might be a bit like Derek in that fic). But I do have a few other short fics I have enjoyed so I'll give you those instead;

Error 404: Brain cell not found by fairytalesandfolklore (a bit of a crack fic but made me smile so big)

Today by Evansdust (meet as kids this fic is just fluff and fun and has pumpkins and a deaf Derek, it was just so sweet)

(Isthatbloodonhisshirt is totally worth the hours spent reading their fics tho, if you ever want to make the commitment)

Special requests, hmm... I put low stakes because I wanted more soft fics to read. Ones that didn't have anything complicated like fighting witches or people being kidnapped or someone having to save the world.

Holiday stories have such a warm fluffy edge, yet so much potential for misunderstanding and pinning.

(There is a sorta lengthy fic called Cornerstone by Vendelin where at one point they spend the holidays apart; texting and calling and realizing how much they just want to be together and it's so sweet).

I might spend to much time in December reading harlequin style romance books and watching the hallmark channel. (The December Bride is my favourite hallmark Christmas movie.)

I doubt any of that was specific enough, but truthfully I'm not sure how to be. There isn't anything concrete or specific that I really want.

If you have an inkling of an idea I fully encourage you to flush it out. I'm not that hard to please, in fact I have full faith I will love anything you create. I appreciate you so much and I can't wait to see what you produce.

Till next time!

💐 once you receive this lovely bouquet of flowers you have to mention five things you love, publicly, and send it to 10 of your favorite followers if you want. SPREAD POSITIVITY! 💞

Five Things I Love:

1 - My Friends 🫂

2 - Sleep 😴

3 - Tulips 🌷

5 - Visiting Castles 🏰

Maximum Suction by fairytalesandfolklore definitely deserves a rec ❤️

Thank you love!

❤ Maximum Suction | fairytalesandfolklore | T | 0.5k

Derek glares at the pair of them and makes a show out of turning the vacuum up to maximum suction so it's running even louder than it was before, but he barely has a moment to bask in his petty victory before the decrepit old thing splutters and shuts off.

"Not again," Derek groans, sighing in defeat as he jiggles the cord out of the socket and begins the tiresome process of wrapping it back up.

"What's wrong with it? Battery trouble?" Kira asks, because she's the only one polite enough to pretend she actually cares.

"Not sure," Derek replies. "But lately, it only lasts about a minute on max succ."

Stiles, who's been engrossed in a game of I Love Hue on his phone this entire time, huffs out an amused snort of laughter, and without missing a beat, blurts out, "Derek only lasts about a minute on max succ."

It takes Stiles a few seconds for his brain to catch up with his mouth, and then he's blushing harder than a summer sunburn, sinking down into the couch cushions like he's hoping they'll swallow him whole, while Derek stands in the far corner, frozen to the spot with half a vacuum cable wrapped around his shoulder, the tips of his ears burning bright red.

*Submissions for January 2022 Sterek fic recs are open until February 20th! We’ll be sharing on an ongoing basis and will be posting a masterlist on Feb 27th. Submissions info here, submit here*

In Vodka Veritas

by fairytalesandfolklore

"Listen, the only reason I suck so badly is because I'm drunk," Stiles insists, swiping Derek's controller out of his hands and settling it back onto the charger. "Under normal circumstances, I could totally kick your ass."

"Sure you could," Derek teases with a playful roll of his eyes. "Tell you what — I'll have another drink to even the score."

"Fucking werewolf stamina," Stiles scoffs and shakes his head, immediately regretting it when the room spins violently.

Derek shrugs. "I could go for another round of Sex on the Beach," he says, though admittedly, he's already quite drunk as it is, wolfsbane-infused vodka swimming giddy laps in his veins.

"The drink or the activity?" Stiles quips, and something about the way Stiles looks at him in that moment, eyebrows arched suggestively, big goofy grin plastered across his sun-kissed face, makes Derek let out a snort of laughter, and without thinking, he blurts out, "Oh my god, I fucking love you so much."

• Title: Until You Meet Someone Who Makes The Fall Feel Like Flying • Author: fairytalesandfolklore • Fandom: The Owl House • Pairing: Hunter | The Golden Guard/Willow Park

Chapters: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8

Hunter isn't sure at which point exactly he fell in love with her — when her fingers brushed through his hair as she checked him for a concussion, or when she brought him a soup bowl-sized mug of hot cocoa, winked at him, and said, "I put some extra marshmallows in there for you, helps with the healing, trust me" — but from that night on, Hunter knew that he loved her. And he hadn't stopped loving her, all the way to this exact moment five years later, where he now sat opposite her on his threadbare couch, faced with the prospect of living with her for the next seven months. Or: the one where Hunter and Willow are college roommates who have secretly been in love with each other since freshman year of high school. They're just moving in together, it's no big deal. Surely this won't change anything between them.

There were wendigos running around Beacon Hills. Or, it was something like that - Liam wasn’t really paying attention to whatever Theo had said Scott told him about this stakeout, when he was picking him up that night. He had bigger issues, okay?

Like the fact that Theo Raeken’s hair was not gelled back the way it usually was

Some Things Should Really Just Stay In The Vault by fairytalesandfolklore

Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski - fluffy humor - rating: teen

"So…" he ventures with an air of casual nonchalance that fools absolutely no one. "You think they keep this vault on the premises, or—" "Stiles, no." "Stiles, yes." "Stiles, you are not breaking into the secret Disney porn vault," Derek heaves a long-suffering sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose and rolling his eyes so hard he nearly gives himself a migraine. "That's not a sentence I ever thought I'd have to say, but here we are. This is my life now." "Oh come on, Derek," Stiles whines, tugging at his shirtsleeve. "I'm not saying you'd have to break in with me. Just, you know…be the lookout."

Maybe You've Had Skin Next To Your Skin, But When Was The Last Time You Let Yourself Be Touched? by EdgeOfMyDesiree

Liam Dunbar/Theo Raeken - angsty fluff - rating: teen

He inhales sharply, exhales fast and shallow, an instinctive action born of awareness, and just like that, his whole body goes rigid with tension. Liam’s arm is flush against his, pressing a little harder each time he shifts closer. Liam’s thigh grazes his, the contact almost too much for his touched starved senses. “Theo.” His name alone causes his—his sisters— heartbeat to pick up speed and knock against his ribs. “Theo, are you okay?” “I’m fine.” He offers no more, his feelings too personal — too raw.

Fangs And Claws And A Knot, Oh My by asarcasticwitch

Peter Hale/Stiles Stilinski - smut - rating: explicit

They've been married for almost a year now, so Stiles is intimately familiar with the monthly change in his husband’s nature, and he fucking loves it. Even if he waddles for a few days afterward, it's totally worth it.

Sterek Fic Rec - December 2022. Is it still December? Yes, for about 5 more hours, oops! Here is the final monthly rec list for the year. I hope everyone is doing something nice to bring in the new year (snuggling into bed absolutely counts!). 

Many times, Many ways by Jmeelee (1/1 | 3K | Mature)

He turned around and stormed toward his Jeep. Derek called out his name, but Stiles flipped him off over his shoulder. He jabbed the key into the ignition, roared the engine, and smoked the tires as he peeled out of the parking lot, but not before he cranked down the glass and screamed at Derek from the driver’s side window, “Merry Christmas, motherfucker!”

OR

Five times Stiles and Derek ruined Christmas, and one time they fixed it.

Build A Wolf by PalenDrome (nerdherderette) (1/1 | 5K | Teen)

Derek is a romantic. He dreams of finding his mate, of connecting with that special someone who will make his heart swoon.

[Excerpt]: "Who says I need to be in a relationship to be happy?" Derek asks, his hackles rising. Besides, Boyd has it all wrong. Derek has Die Hard on his Christmas queue.

Yippee ki yay.

Boyd holds up both hands. "Not me. If you want to be a bachelor forever, I'm not one to judge."

"But I am," Erica says. "You don't date anymore. Hell, when's the last time you even got laid? Which would also be fine, except it's not, because you're miserable and it's obvious that's not what you really want."

Sometimes Derek has a hard time following Erica's logic. Unfortunately, this is not one of those moments.

"It doesn't matter," he says, digging the excess rice out from his wrap. "I'm better off alone."

Mint Condition by fairytalesandfolklore (1/1 | 955 | Teen)

He checks the clock, frowning in concern. Stiles had said he was going to change and that he'd be right back, but that was over twenty minutes ago. He's about to get up and go check on him, when the all-too-familiar tune of his least favorite song in the entire world starts playing on the stereo, and out comes Stiles wearing nothing but a jauntily perched Santa hat and a pair of the tiniest shorts Derek has ever seen — bright red satin to match his hat — and when Stiles twirls around to give Derek the full effect, he can make out the words naughty elf emblazoned across his asscheeks. Derek can do little more than stare open-mouthed as Stiles saunters toward him, sucking on the end of a candy cane in what he probably imagines is a seductive way, shaking his ass in time to the music — which, ugh. (As far as Derek is concerned, if hell had a soundtrack, it'd be an endless loop of Santa Baby…but it's Stiles, so he'll make an exception.) Overall, the effect is actually quite charming, and Derek would be lying if he said it wasn't doing something for him. And then Stiles starts talking.

lube and determination by bleep0bleep (2/2 | 4K | Explicit)

It's a holiday classic: homesick boy wants to make a pumpkin pie while studying abroad, boy realizes the only place to find vegetable shortening is a sex shop, and boy makes fool of himself in front of other boy.

Little talks by Vendelin (1/1 | 5K | Mature)

“Your favourite is here,” Danny says, smirking. “I tried to steal him away by giving him some extra attention, but he just looked uncomfortable.”

Stiles snorts, though he’s secretly pleased by his regular rejecting Danny. “He always looks a bit uncomfortable. I bet he’s married with a kid and a permanent guilty conscience when he’s here.”

It had been quite the surprise for Stiles to realise that he had a regular. A pretty young, hot regular, on top of that.

In which Stiles is a stripper, and Derek is the always-polite regular at the club where he works.

Depth of Field by midnitekween (1/1 | 7K | Explicit)

Stiles loves taking pictures of his pack.

Kiss It Better, Kiss It Back Together by crossroadswrite (1/1 | 3K | General)

For the tumblr prompt: stiles is cursed by a witch to forget the person he loves the most so everyone thinks it's Lydia but it's not and the only way to get the memories back is through a kiss

i see forever in your eyes by hufflepuffbaby (1/1 | 1K | Teen)

Stiles looked at his big bad Alpha, with his blush and his thumbhole sweater, and Stiles found he didn’t care if it was a bad idea, he was going to relationship the fuck out of Derek for as long as he was allowed.

Flufftober Day 5 : "Oh, no, you're a morning person"

Make You See It by sparkandwolf (thatnerdemryn), thatnerdemryn (1/2 | 2K | Mature)

Stiles didn’t say anything and Derek was grateful for leaving him speechless.

“Your mind, the way it pieces together every last puzzle piece, the way it connects dots that the rest of us didn’t even know were there, it’s--” Derek let out a breath against Stiles’ ear and reveled in the chill it sent through Stiles. “You are the most powerful of all of us.”

no matter how far away you roam by elisela (1/1 | 2K | General)

Stiles regrets not getting a tree.

He hadn’t been feeling very festive—decorations were reminders that he was spending the holidays alone, so he’d decided not to put them up, but now it’s Christmas Eve and there’s not even a strand of lights around the room to cheer him up. Watching Die Hard hadn’t worked, neither had The Grinch, and Derek hadn’t answered his phone the last three times Stiles had called him today.

It’s 7:34pm on Christmas Eve, and Stiles is ready to give it up and call it a night.

princecharmingwinks special mention (Oh my gosh I love the smut in this and the humour and everything else.)

Come Fly With Me (Or Don't) by stilinskisparkles (1/1 | 15K | Mature)

Stiles is overworked and stressed out when his flight home gets delayed due to copious amounts of snow. He finds entertainment with one Derek Hale, whom he hasn't seen since high school but really doesn't mind getting reacquainted with.

Especially when it turns out Derek is surprisingly hilarious and will reluctantly play snap with him. And can walk on his hands.

Made it through another year team, well done one and all. Happy holidays and see you in the new year ;)

The Universe Works In Mysterious Ways (And Who Are We To Deny The Universe?)

read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/1BN827j by fairytalesandfolklore "According to Bess's research, it looks like the only way to break this curse is to find and destroy the vessel carrying it," Nancy reads aloud, eyes scanning a paragraph highlighted in a mockingly cheerful yellow from the newest tome in their rapidly-growing collection. "Temperance's moth," Ace clarifies, lips pulling into a frown to match the one twisting across Nancy's face. "It could be anywhere," she sighs, all the emotions of several sleepless nights spent poring over old manuscripts and entries on the history and lore of love curses finally catching up to her and bleeding into her tone. "Who knows if it's even still in town? It could be halfway around the other side of the world by now." "So we'll get an industrial grade supernatural bug zapper, or— or start a forest fire and lure the fucker to the flame," Ace reassures her, and it's hard to tell whether he's merely joking in an attempt to raise her spirits or genuinely suggesting they commit arson for the sake of their relationship, judging by the fiery spark that lights up his eyes as he looks at her. "Whatever we have to do to break this curse, I'll do it."
