Imagine every Valentine’s Day Stiles’ mom gave him these beautiful flowers and when she died stiles still received those flowers, turns out she ordered them in advance. But it kept happening the next year and the next year, and stiles is always so happy every year for them. Then one year the morning of Valentine’s Day stiles didn’t get his usual flowers, he’s obviously upset and cries all day, his dad gets him flowers, but it just isn’t the same, until it’s late at night that he hears the doorbell, he runs down and there they are, the flowers. Sometimes the flowers show up in the morning other times it’s late at night, but they always show up.

The year scott gets bit, stiles is pretty sure that he won’t be getting any more flowers. He older now, it’s been a few years and he doesn’t know for how many years in advance his mom paid for. But he still gets them. He tries to look for the flower shop but there’s no logo and all the flowers shops say they have no records of his mom ever ordering from them.

Later when he’s hanging out by the hale house he notices Derek garden in the back. And there are the flowers his mom always got him. So he asks Derek about them.

Turns out Derek’s family owned the flower shop where Claudia got the flowers and they’ve been sending them to stiles for Claudia’s request. But then the fire happened and Laura he Derek left the shop. Derek was the delivery boy and he went back to deliver stiles his flowers because he knew how important they were to him. And he kept doing it cause it was nice doing something genuinely nice for someone else. But then he got to know stiles and so he kept doing it. He tells stiles how his mom paid in advance until he was 18 but Derek planned on giving stiles the flowers even after cause he know how it feels to loose his family and that those flowers gave stiles a connection to his mom and he didn’t want him to loose that.

Those flowers are the flowers they have at their wedding and stiles still gets them every Valentine’s Day. But Derek always has them growing in the backyard.

(Sorry if this long and messy I was just trying to type everything down as fast as I could)

Teen Wolf Librarian AUs

A collection of Sterek fics where one of them is a librarian (most play in a library themselves)

This is Lovecantrophy by orphan_account

12.1K | Sterek | Teen

In which Valentine's Day is closely approaching, and Derek is a disgruntled grad student who works at a library. He's hit a roadblock on his thesis, he's harboring a (not so secret) crush on Stiles, and he keeps receiving werewolf-themed gifts from a secret admirer. Basically, Derek is totally oblivious and angsty, Stiles does a lot of planning off-screen, and Erica and Scott are awesome friends who are awesome.

Unknowing First Date by gayderek

1.2k | Sterek | General

Derek doesn't share, but for some reason he lets the mystery boy sitting across from him borrow his headphones. Turns out that the Mystery Boy isn't mysterious at all. He's kind of annoying, but he's kind of cute too.

You're the piece that I just found out how to fit to by pseudofoucault333

23.2k | Sterek | Explicit

Stiles is known as the tattooed reference Librarian, the somewhat reluctant crush of most teenagers in Beacon Hills and the son of the Sheriff. Derek is the new Deputy in town who has a history of heartbreak. Will Stiles' persistence pay off to help him get Derek to trust him and will Derek finally admit to himself that not everyone looks at him and sees a pretty face?

Inside this place is warm by wolfcloaks

40k | Sterek | Explicit

Coming down; One love, two mouths Stiles Stilinski: -Senior at Berkley -Double majoring in Human Biology and Biomedical Engineering -Student Librarian -Closet Artist -Basket case extrodanaire -Hopelessly crushing on Derek Hale (read as: pining) Derek Hale: -Grad Student at Berkley -Philosophy Major -Dog enthusiast -Does not cry during The Notebook, fuck you,Laura -Is definitely not pining over the librarian with the cute moles -Would very much like to tell the librarian's curly haired boyfriend to fuck off Or Where Derek and Stiles are complete dweebs in love and jump to horribly inaccurate conclusions Or When your meet-cute turns into a bit of an (light) angst fest but it's all ok in the end

Hale's Library & Coffee Shop by scarlettletterr

3.8k | Sterek | Mature

College Student Stiles is looking for a place to work - so he can pay his bills - when his friend from class, Erica, mentions that her boss is looking for someone to help at Hale's Library and Coffee Shop. Stiles gets the job, along with a giant crush on his boss, Derek, that seems obvious to anyone but him.

Don’t Judge a Book by its Cover by isthatbloodonhisshirt (wasterella)

6.1k | Sterek | General

“Hi,” Stiles said jovially with a bright smile. “How can I help you?” For a few seconds, hot, sexy guy said nothing. He just stared at Stiles like he’d never seen another human being before. Eventually, after a sufficiently long and awkward silence, hot, sexy guy had said, “I’m looking for a book.” “Sure thing!” Stiles had then waited. Because—he worked in the public library, so someone coming in asking for a book was normal, but only asking for a book with no other details was a little too vague. “Um, I’m gonna need you to be a little bit more specific,” he’d informed him. “Right.” Hot, sexy guy had looked flustered, some of his murderous aura dissipating.

Checking You Out by wherearethebreaks

7k | Sterek | General

Usually, the people who actually did come into the library used the computers. Usually, Derek could just sit at the small table behind the circulation desk and spread out his papers and get his homework done. But not that day. Oh no. No, some random guy just barged in, doors slamming loudly behind him, tripped over a display for some new books they'd gotten, and didn't sign in, (which, who doesn't know that you have to sign in during school hours?) all before running, running, into the non-fiction shelves. Who runs in the library? Who doesn't sign in? The librarian who usually had to deal with the rowdy and unruly teens that often wandered inside to talk loudly with their friends, was in the bathroom. Meaning, Derek was the one who was going to have to deal with this kid. Something he'd never really done before; therefore, didn't know how to deal with. "Uh, excuse me?" A.K.A: Derek is a library student aid and loves the peace and quiet, a quiet that is interrupted by a fellow student that Derek has to kindly deal with. To bad the guy's a total cutie that shows up the next day, and the one after that to ask him out.

You taste so bitter and so sweet by EmmisaryStilinski22

Dear 402, Your two dogs woke me up every night this week at 4 am! Please silence your hounds from hell! Regards, 403

Dog Days of Summer by CarnalCoffeeBean

1.9k | Sterek | General

Beacon Hills, as it turns out, is actually boring as hell. Or, the one in which summer is boring, Derek accidentally becomes a library volunteer, Lydia and Erica get shit done, Stiles researches werewolves, and multiple people trip, stumble, and fall flat on their faces on their way towards something resembling love.

Special Collections by hannah_baker

16.4k | Sterek | Explicit

Stiles Stilinski is a senior in college working on his thesis. Derek Hale is the grumpy (though inhumanely attractive) special collections librarian. All they needed was a common interest to spark a friendship that becomes more than either of the bargained for.

Can I get Your (call) Number, baby by lielabell

4.9k | Sterek | Teen

Thing is, for the most part, Stiles's loves his job. He loves the quiet hush of the library, the way it smells like must and old books. He likes walking through the stacks, collecting books to be shelved. Likes sitting at the reference desk, hell, he even likes the fact that they still have a card catalog, even though no one ever uses it. Everything about the job is amazing. Except... Except for the music majors.

Stacking up by bravelittlesoldier

8.2k | Sterek | Teen

Stiles is working in the basement of the Library of Congress and is feeling his social skills quickly deteriorate. Then along comes a new librarian working at Circulation who is most definitely a male model. Maybe its time to start re-socializing.

Librarians Always Know What To Say by codarra

1.1k | Sterek | General

Derek comes into the library where Stiles works. A lot. Only he doesn't know Stiles' name. And he's fairly certain Stiles doesn't know Derek exists.

Baby, I'm yours by yodasyoyo

4k | Sterek | Teen

Honestly, Derek Hale didn’t think he could be surprised anymore at the things you see working behind the circulation desk of the university library. He thought he’d seen it all. There’s a guy that comes in on Thursdays that carries a kitten in his bag and thinks Derek doesn’t know. There’s another guy that comes in every other day or so to catch a nap in a secluded corner. And then there’s the couple that Derek’s had to kick out three times now for having sex in the stacks. There’s this one guy that has, by far, expanded Derek’s list of strange happenings in the library. He only knows the guy’s name because he has to come to Derek to check out his books and it shows up on the computer but it’s not actually anything Derek can pronounce so it doesn’t really help. Anyway, Unpronounceable-first-name Stilinski is always up to something.

#librarynerd by yodasyoyo

7.7k | Sterek | Teen

“I’ll likely get far more done in the group if I’m not distracted watching you with your pen--” “My--My pen?” “Pens. Drinking straws. Don’t act like you don’t know,” Derek says darkly. “You know.” ____________ In which Stiles follows Scott into his Spanish study group, takes one look at the hot nerd who runs it and then decides to stay... even though he doesn't actually speak Spanish.

Old you in the garbage(new you in display case) by dearericbittle (dutchmoxie)

13.5k | Sterek | Teen

Stiles is lonely and desperate and suffering from a crush on the grumpiest librarian. So what’s a boy to do but cook up a ridiculous plan to get himself dated and/or finally get laid before the holidays? He just wants his She’s All That moment, okay? He never expected that the plan would actually help him get the guy.

Made Your Mark on Me (A Golden Tattoo) by writteninthewolfstar

part 1 part 2 part 3

I found this sterek high school fic by writteninthewolfstar and enjoyed it a lot. The built up, world´s most romantic Derek, soulmates...and of course delicious among of fluffy angst in ABO au. I was torn between what to illustrate from this pic and eventually I decided to do two drawings in different styles. This here is the first one with defiant Stiles not giving a damn about dating a star quarter-back from a rival school. The next one which I´ll be posting later will be a scene from their Valentine´s day together 💜💜

Anyway here is the link to fic so go and enjoy 😁

A Box of Chocolates

My Sweet Valentine Event – Day 2 (February 11th): Chocolates

Stiles is alone and lonely on Valentine’s Day and Derek catches him eating an entire box of chocolates—or two—on his own.

It was a pitiful sight; Stiles lay on his bed, his head resting against the headboard at an unflattering angle, a half-eaten box of chocolates rested on his chest and an empty box lay beside him on the mattress.

He was no longer eating them for pleasure, or for the sweet taste; now he was eating because he was sad. He’d put a chocolate in his mouth and wait for it to melt into a glob of overly sweet goo before swallowing it.

His eyes were focused small television that sat on shelving unit across from his bed as he scrolled through the list of shows and movies on Netflix.

“That’s a nice look,” a familiar voice said.

Stiles’ eyes flicked to the door as he narrowed a glare on the man standing there.

He was dressed in a grey-blue Henley and a worn leather jacket. His thick black hair was pushed back from his face and a soft beard that cast a shadow across his jaw. His wide-set eyes were pale, the colour of his irises shifted in the light; from hazel to green, to a shade of light blue. A kind – and somewhat amused – smile turned up the corners of his mouth as he met Stiles’ gaze.

“What do you want, Derek?” Stiles asked, turning his attention back to the television.

“Company,” Derek said, an upward infliction at the end of the word making it sound more like a question than an answer.

Stiles looked at him again, his expression showing he was unconvinced.

“Don’t you have someone else to keep you company?” Stiles asked.

“No.”

“You honestly expect me to believe you don’t have someone to spend Valentine’s Day with?”

“I don’t,” Derek answered.

“You?” Stiles repeated, sitting upright and setting the half-eaten box of chocolates aside. “With your gorgeous face and you’re incredible body?”

Derek’s brow furrowed in confusion slightly, unsure about whether he was being insulted or complemented.

“You seriously didn’t land a date for Valentine’s Day?” Stiles asked.

Derek shrugged half-heartedly.

“Great,” Stiles uttered sitting back against his bed head. “If a guy like you couldn’t land a date, what chance do I have?”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Derek asked, crossing Stiles’ room and sitting down on the end of the bed.

Stiles let out a dejected sigh, reached for the chocolates. He picked one up, unwrapping the simmering foil that was wrapped around it before tossing it in his mouth.

“Stiles,” Derek said, his voice soft but insistent, trying to coax an answer out of Stiles.

“I’m lonely, okay?” Stiles answered. “I got rejected by everyone I asked out; every single one of them. No one wants me.”

“There’s someone out there who does,” Derek said.

“I wish I could believe you,” Stiles replied, hanging his head.

Derek opened his mouth to say something, but stopped himself. He couldn’t tell him—not like this. He’d think he was only saying out of pity.

Derek let out a measured sigh.

“Well, from one lonely man to another,” Derek said quietly. “Do you want some company?”

Stiles looked up at him.

Derek offered him a friendly smile.

Stiles smiled softly in return, shuffling over and patting the mattress next to him.

Derek moved up the bed, kicking off his shoes as he sat down next to Stiles.

Stiles set the box of chocolates down between them and grabbed the remote, scrolling through Netflix until he found something he thought Derek would like.

They stayed that way for hours, watching movies and TV shows, talking quietly, eating chocolate and just enjoying each other’s company.

Derek stole a few glances at Stiles, watching the way the light played in his eyes, turning the dark brown depths into pools of gold.

One day he’d tell him how he felt, but not today.

Strawberry Shortcake (and Other Disasters)

Pairing: Sterek

Details: 5k | G | Complete

AO3 tags: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski, Derek Hale, Stiles Stilinski, Bobby Finstock, Danny Mahealani, Established Relationship, Alternate Universe - College/University, Alternate Universe - No Werewolves, Anniversary, Fluff, Slice of Life, Valentine's Day, Stiles's general clumsiness, Valentine's date shenanigans, Small Romantic Gestures, Finstock supports the Sterek but will never say so aloud

Summary: Derek’s struggling with a massive paper, Stiles is on the evening shift, and their first anniversary is shaping up to be kind of a wash. And of course, it’s also Valentine’s day.

Notes: I made a thing for Sterek Valentine Week - and it’s not even (that) late! Featuring a chill, slice-of-life style Valentine/first anniversary for our boys, the year after Free Flowers, Fast Food.

(Read on AO3 or check out the beginning below)

“So, just to confirm, I am the world’s worst boyfriend,” Stiles sighs.

It takes Derek a second to pull his gaze away from his laptop screen, but at last he looks over to find Stiles rummaging through the clothes in the drawer he’s claimed as his own. His movements are agitated and a little frantic, probably because he’s running behind schedule.

He’s also shirtless, which means Derek stares at the movements of his back muscles for an extra second before he catches the unhappiness laced through Stiles’s words.

“You aren’t,” Derek protests with an eyeroll, lowering his Civ notes. “We talked about this already. If you have work, you have work. And anyway, we’re going out this weekend instead.”

“Yeah, but today’s Valentine’s Day. And our anniversary,” Stiles mourns, finally fishing out what he’s looking for, one of the simple black polos demanded as the server uniforms at Bobby’s. He pulls it on over his head. “Which, again, still wish we’d planned that out better. It’s like having your birthday on Christmas. You basically only get one celebration instead of two.”

Derek turns back to his work, fighting back a smile at the familiar complaint. “Yeah, well, whose fault is that?”

“You were the one who asked me out,” Stiles fires back as he always does, stepping into the bathroom to try to make his messy hair look a little less like a whirlwind—or at least less like he literally sprinted here from his last class.

“Well, maybe if you didn’t look like you do, and literally hand me a rose like you were from The Bachelor or something, we wouldn’t be here,” Derek teases.

This surprises a laugh out of Stiles. “You can only say that because you’ve never actually seen even one bachelor,” he says, though Derek can see from the mirror that his ears have gone pink.

“Uh, I think you’re forgetting that I have sisters. One of whom was literally living right here with me for two years,” he adds, gesturing vaguely to the living area at large. There are still touches of Laura all over: the cheap string of lights she loved to hate, her fake plant on the windowsill, the dry erase board she’d stuck on the fridge. She’d had a fall-semester graduation, leaving Derek on his own—not that he’s complaining, given that his parents are picking up her half of the rent until the end of this semester or until he finds a roommate.

Stiles, on the other hand, doesn’t have the luxury of a parental safety net. His dad’s doting in his own way, but isn’t in much of a position to help Stiles make ends meet. Which is where Bobby’s Grill comes in: Stiles wanted some spare cash, and the shakes are to die for.

“She always had shit taste in reality TV,” Stiles offers, coming out of the bathroom to make a face at him. “You can tell her that directly from me.”

“The point is, just say it’s your fault.”

“Ugh. Fine. It’s my fault.” Stiles’s ears are still pink, but an amused smile has made its way across his ace. He closes the distance between them and leans in for a kiss. The angle is awkward with Derek sitting on the sofa, so he tilts his jaw up to meet it, and Stiles makes a humming sound in the back of his throat before pulling away. He pauses, drawing back just a hair’s breadth, then kisses Derek again. When he finally straightens, it’s with a wistful sigh. “Finstock better appreciate the hell out of this,” he says darkly.

Day 3 - February 10 "Charmed"

P. S. I probably wouldn't be able to finish the rest of the prompt. My juice has been squeezed. But please enjoy my last contribution while the event is still going on. I'll get back to the rest of the prompts soon.

Derek Hale should not be charmed by this guy. Absolutely, hundred per cent, should not be charmed.

But he is.

He knows how he looks. He sees himself in the mirror every day. He's pretty for those people who objectifies his body, like Kate, their only motive is to have a fuck. That's it. People who know him for all his life, like his family and close friends, they agree he's a dork but in Laura's perspective, Derek is a nerd with a resting bitch face that pulls off a jock more than nerd or geek.

Derek doesn't take offence to Laura's opinion because he agrees enough to concede the point. When people see Derek Hale, they see an intimidating figure. The first impression ruins things for Derek.

But this guy, Derek looks at his name tag, Stiles is not the average person. He's a new barista at Derek's favourite coffee shop and most newbies blanched at his figure after they almost spilled his order on him when they see his blank neutral face. (And according to Cora and Laura, very pee-in-your-pants type of terrifying.)

"Mr Hale, you can stop being surprised and impressed that I hadn't peed my pants at the sight of you just with your eyebrows. Civilized people use words to convey their desire." His hands are steady with the complicated drink he just ordered, even as his eyes still stay just this side of being wide in surprise.

Derek smiles at the response to his mute staring. As he said, he should not be charmed.

"You should smile more, you look much more approachable already." He slowly extended his other hand to lift Derek's elbow onto the counter and pushes the cold brew into the slack hand.

Derek flexes his fingers on the drink. "How do you know about me?"

Stiles made a comical surprised look to his surrounding, "the man actually talks!" He exclaims theatrically. And then he sobered up by clearing his throat, "the employees and the employers and the customers speak of the supposedly grouchy customer that is akin to a rite of passage in this coffee shop."

The smile never left Derek's face in the duration of Stiles's antics. "My friend owns the shop. She thinks it's hilarious to make people deal with me and see if they're cut out for the type of job that caters to people face-to-face."

"Well, you have a much softer voice than I expected," he blurted out. And then his face turned a bright shade of red. He plunges through his embarrassment and says, "but I guess I passed Erica's test with flying colours. And I can totally see her doing this just to see people squirm."

Derek's smile widens. "I don't think I can ask you out for coffee since you're a barista and also just gave me my cup of coffee… But, are you interested in going out with me? There's a carnival a few towns over, interested?"

He's never done this before. Derek's never asked people out before, aside from Paige, so he's kind of - very - nervous as he waits for an answer. But the smile never leaves his face, because he's too captivated by the way Stiles talks and the way his eyes sparkle with mischief and it's just impossible to not be caught up in the infectious glee that he brings with him.

Stiles's eyes turned wider in shock but the grin on his face also widened to split his face. "Sure!" He clears his throat and tried to look less excited or enthusiastic but missed by a mile. "This is most definitely the most exciting thing to happen to me in this small town ever since high school."

"You're from Beacon Hills?" Derek asked in surprise. I've never seen you around before.

"Eh, I mostly stayed under the radar in high school. But I assure you, Derek, I've seen you and I've heard of you." A cheeky grin replaced the wide smile but no less enchanting.

A loud throat clearing sounded right beside him. "Please flirt at your downtime or off-hours and not during work and holding back the line. Thank you."

"Erica," Derek greeted with his normal face.

"I liked you better when you're smiling," Erica drawled as she pulled him away. "But luckily, you saved me from setting you up again."

Derek rolled his eyes, turned to see Stiles watch them walk away with a smirk on his face a split second before he turned to the customer in line.

"Here, this is his number. Don't be your usual heartbreaker. I'll give him the same talk when he's off."

"Can you please not scare him away?"

She raises three fingers and says very seriously, "I solemnly swear I will not scare him away but I can't promise you that I won't tease you for the rest of your life." And then she smiled a face splitting grin.

"As fair of a deal as I'm ever going to get," Derek says in a resigned voice.

Derek and Stiles went to the carnival.

Stiles won a small wolf plushy for Derek.

Derek won a big fox plushy for Stiles.

The wolf and the fox sit together on the shelf when they move in together on their first anniversary.

(Erica doesn't actually tease Derek for the rest of his life. She gushes at Derek for the rest of his life, as the rest of his family does.

And Stiles, being the occasional asshole that he is, he laughs until he's in stitches at Derek's expense.)

Scott is a mechanic who never answers his phone. Derek is also a mechanic who never leaves the shop. Stiles has a low alcohol tolerance and lots of car problems. Everyone knows except Stiles and Derek. This also turns into a holiday fic halfway through, so if you were here for the car stuff, I'm sorry

Title is a song by Johnny Cash.
