Stiles and Allison are twins and they were raised by Chris (and only Chris) 'cause Chris was Claudia's best friend — Claudia was a hunter, but a good and sane one, she also had magic, so...yeah — and when the Sheriff started drinking a lot, Chris just thought it would be better if he took Stiles and Allison for a while, but for a while became him legally adopting the twins 'cause the Sheriff died in duty. Chris then takes Stiles and Ally away from Beacon Hills and never plans to go back to the city that took so much of him and his kids.

Time goes by and the twins are now 17 and Chris needs to go back to Beacon Hills 'cause the Argent Matriarch wants him to end Gerard and Kate once and for all, seeing that they're a shame for the Argent name. Chris gives Stiles and Allison a option: they can go back with him or stay in the city they're living now. Chris promises that if they choose to stay he won't hold it against them. Both decide to go.

When they arrive at the Beacon Hills High School, Scott was immediately obsessed with Allison, and she wasn't interested 'cause her interest was all on Lydia. Scott kept stalking Allison and asking her out and being creepy in general. Stiles had enough, he started asking around about Scott and found out Scott is a Werewolf, which is good for him he can use that to threaten Scott, since he and Allison were trained to be hunters by their mom and Chris since they were like 4 or something. Stiles tries threatening Scott in every way possible, but it doesn't seem to go through the stupid wolf's head he's being threatened so Stiles just says "Fuck it" and shoots Scott's ass...Literally. Stiles shoots Scott right in the ass, with arrows and bullets (silver bullets, 'cause he isn't shooting to kill). And even if they don't get along, Scott goes to whine about it to Derek.

Derek knows that there's a hunter family that just moved to Beacon Hills, but he expected them to be sane and reasonable, since they followed all rules and protocols, but apparently he was wrong. Derek goes to confront Stiles about why he shot an innocent werewolf, to which Stiles replies "Innocent? I'm sorry but your beta might be innocent of murder, but he isn't innocent AT ALL. He has been stalking my sister since we moved here, you see, she likes them sane so she didn't waste time on him. She is tired of telling him to leave her alone. I'M tired of threatening your fucking stupid beta to stay away from my sister. He doesn't listen. So yeah, I might have overreacted by shooting him so many times, but I can't say I wouldn't do it again 'cause I would. And if he still keeps being creepy and keeps stalking my sister, then I WILL shoot to kill and I wouldn't be punished for it 'cause I would be on my right." Derek stays silent for a bit and then says "Fair enough. Though I have to say, he's not my beta, he's part of my pack just enough to avoid having an omega running wild here." Stiles shrugs and says "Well, now that this is solved, is there anything else I can help you with?" to which Derek replies "Yes. You can go on a date with me, what do you think?" and Stiles replies "Why yes, I would be honoured to go on a date with you."

The date goes extremely well that 5 years later they get married. Allison and Lydia are the wedding planners. And Lydia proposes to Allison not long after Sterek's wedding.

This site only has two settings when talking about Tolkien's writing: "his writing is problematic and bad" and "his writing is amazing and wonderful". Y'all never mention the parts of his writing that are just flat out Batshit Fucking Crazy, so here are my top three favorite canon Middle Earth events:

-the time Melkor evokes Dibs Protocol, which is not respected by the spider he then has to try and run from

- the time Sauron captures a fortress, renames it "Werewolf Island", and lets all his dogs have free roam of it

- the Elf whose name literally fucking translates to "tall sexy redhead"

The Frontier Shapeshifter Classification and Threat Response Scheme

"Shapeshifters? That kind of science fiction nonsense isn't real. Pull yourself together, Lieutenant!" --Captain Abrido Xem of the Helvetosian light frigate Kamar's Dawn, thirteen seconds before xir execution by a Varyassid infiltrator

"Shapeshifter" is the common term for a number of different species which exhibit similar natural adaptations and/or technologically-augmented abilities that enable them to take on the guise of other species, of specific individuals, or, in extremely unusual cases, diverse nonliving physical objects in their surrounding environment. Shapeshifting can be a tool for avoiding harm, for peacefully gathering information, or even for facilitating first contact, but it can also be used for hostile infiltration, assassination, and war. Many interstellar polities and organizations are therefore wary of shapeshifters, if not outright hostile. Frontier policy (and that of the Foundation in general) is one of gradual, cautious friendliness in all first contact situations; this applies no less to shapeshifting individuals or clades than it does to any other newly-encountered lifeform. Hostile shapeshifters have been encountered, however, and the following general policies have been developed for use in situations where an encounter is suspected or confirmed.

General principles

Frontier ships operate at the limits of Foundation knowledge, and it is not unusual for two alien species (say, a Foundation member and an unknown non-member) to have such wide cognitive, communicative, or conceptual gaps between them that creative means must be found to establish first contact, or even to make one's presence known to the other. Thus, the surprise presence of an alien lifeform aboard a Foundation ship should not be taken as in itself proof of a hostile invasion situation, but should put the crew on high alert. General procedures when discovering an alien presence or influence that has made its way onto the ship unnoticed is to immediately report the presence to command staff, and to implement Alert Protocol F-4 ("The Buddy System (Infiltration)"). If hostile intent is suspected, but not confirmed, Alert Protocol F-5 may be implemented ("Active Containment"). For permanent installations, protocol F-5B should be used ("Foothold: Condition Orange"). In cases of confirmed hostile intent, more serious protocols should be enacted, but the exact protocol depends on the nature of the infiltration: F-7 ("Passphrase Protocol"), F-8 ("Stun First, Ask Questions Later"), F-12 ("In Case of Brain Slugs, Break Glass"), or even F-13 ("Shipwide Purge"). Commanders of key installations may, in extreme circumstances, order the implementation of Protocol F-13C ("Foothold: Condition Red"), but certain safeguards must be observed to prevent infiltrators or enemy agents from simply using this protocol to wipe out key bases (see Command Briefing RX-11 for details).

Major classes

Class ANAMORPH - ANAMORPH-type shapeshifters are sometimes not considered true shapeshifters at all; they are "amorphous" lifeforms that can change their physical shape, but within fairly limited parameters, and without especially unusual adaptations beyond the changing of integument color or texture that let them mimic other species. A common example might be the Earth octopus, which uses its ability to hide from marine predators, but which would not fool even the most basic bioscanner (or a zoologist giving one a cursory physical examination).

Class WEREWOLF - WEREWOLF-type shapeshifters are among the most common, and refer simply to lifeforms that have two or more (though almost always it is only two) highly specific morphs which they can alternate between at will, and within a relatively short period of time (at most a few days; sometimes as little as a few minutes, but more usually on the order of hours). The danger of WEREWOLFs comes primarily from unfamiliarity--e.g., disturbing the sessile and apparently inanimate forms of Khuryans during their aestivation, or not noticing the presence of Farosian flesh-burrowers because their locomotive form is far more commonly depicted in pop culture than their nesting sac. Some WEREWOLFs have developed their alternate morphs as camouflage, which may be technologically enhanced in ways which render them difficult to find even when searching for them with advanced technology. Frontier ships are equipped with sensor suites sensitive to all known WEREWOLF camouflage techniques, but of course when seeking out strange new forms of life, explorers should expect the unexpected.

Class SELKIE - SELKIE-type shapeshifters specifically emulate members of other species. Of especial interest are those that imitate members of sapient species. Most are themselves sapient, but not all--notably, the Ormovan organ-stealer is such an adroit mimic that it can get close enough to unwary humans to complete its feeding cycle despite having an extremely primitive nervous system and very little native intelligence. SELKIEs do not imitate specific sapient individuals, often require a great deal of observation or preparation to learn to mimic a new species, and are detectable to most remote scans. Most sapient SELKIEs make no effort to hide their ability, and use it primarily to facilitate communication and trade.

Class PUCA - PUCA-type shapeshifters primarily use their shapeshifting abilities for concealment, and their ability relies to some extent (whether technological or biological) on subverting the senses or cognition of other lifeforms. Since there are no adaptations which are generally effective in subverting the perception of all sentient species, PUCAs often are vulnerable to detection by new species or by unfamiliar sensor technologies, though sapient PUCA exhibit a great deal of adaptability in dealing with these situations. PUCA are typically quite harmless, and most only want to be left alone. Confirmed PUCA, like the "Fairies of F3X-449" or the Julaya Freehold, are subject to a general noninterference order.

Class CHANGELING - CHANGELING-type shapeshifters, like PUCA, are reliant to some degree on subverting the perceptions of other lifeforms; unlike PUCA, they exhibit more flexible, generalist abilities, sometimes including the ability to mimic specific other sapients. Like PUCA, their weakness is often new species or new sensor technologies which they have not yet been able to develop countermeasures for. However, since CHANGELINGs' abilities are not aimed primarily at concealment, they may be more bold about actively infiltrating alien ships or installations, or even planets, for both benign and malicious purposes.

Class ETIAINEN - ETIAINEN-type shapeshifters are among the most dangerous, when their intent is hostile. They exhibit the ability to mimic not only specific sapient species, but specific sapient individuals, and to do so in ways that allow them to acquire at least partial knowledge, memory, and/or skills of the individual in question; sometimes they may even be unaware of their status as a shapeshifter, allowing them to act as long-term deep-cover agents. There are few true ETIAINEN species; most known ETIAINEN are small clades within larger species-groups, or the result of specific military-intelligence projects. Known ETIAINEN include the Varyassid assassins (who must partially consume their target), Ghoshani mimics (must maintain prolonged physical contact with their target to acquire information from them, typically isolating them in a remote location), Turei doppelgangers (they usually physically infest and gradually replace the host body), and Chaulan scanners (who allegedly need only momentary contact with the person they intend to replace).

Minor classes

Class ASWANG - ASWANGs are not true shapeshifters in the sense that they may imitate or acquire attributes of species, but do so in a piecemeal fashion, often appearing chimeric as a result. They are also overwhelmingly predators, some of especially keen intelligence. Fortunately, they are rare, but the suspected presence of an ASWANG aboard a Frontier vessel is a TYRANT-grade emergency.

Class CUCKOO - CUCKOOs are brood parasites who find ways of inserting their young into alien populations. Sometimes this is a way of learning about them, with the young later returning as adults to CUCKOO worlds; for other species, this seems simply to be such a natural part of their existence they continue it without questioning it very much. Most CUCKOOS target oviparous species for obvious reasons, but this is perhaps not always so: there are reports that a case of apparent triplets born aboard the FSEV Beagle proved, on genetic testing, to actually consist of one human baby and two nanotech-engineered replicants, though as the mother was reported to have had a threesome with a fellow crewmember and a Harusian artificial lifeform nine months prior, this may technically be classified not so much as a case of brood parasitism as simply a cross-species polyandrous multiple birth.

Class TIYANAK - TIYANAKs are "reverse shapeshifters:" species which reproduce by infecting other, physically compatible species, which they then subvert and frequently genetically alter, or which they use as a kind of permanent parasitic host. Due to the physiological difficulties in such a life cycle, TIYANAKs are in fact quite rare, and the handful of known examples are arguably more likely to be (essentially) ancient bioweapons or computer viruses gone astray than natural occurrences. Nonetheless, TIYANAKs are considered extremely dangerous. "Classic" TIYANAKs resemble the Pavrian Rakshasas, which infect their hosts and gradually replace all their biological tissue with new Pavrian tissue, starting with the central nervous system. "Parasite"-types like the Edrian skullburrower may keep the host body alive and largely intact, using it for locomotion and sustenance. There are also ambiguous "hybrid" types which seem to alternate modes as circumstances require: during the F96-A4A Incident, Captain Havar of the FSEV Orreiska noted that the infectious vector produced a variety of ambulant "parasite"-types, alongside sessile "broodmother" types. Since the human and Chalawani crew was immune to infection, a great deal of data could be gathered during the course of the outbreak (though sadly it could not in the end be stopped), and of dozens of the broodmother types examined, not one, after reaching maturity, contained any genetic or physical trace of the original host.

hey this little gem is on sale for the next week or so and if you want your Genuine Queer Rep Media with an actual plot and a bit of edge and bite to it i cannot recommend this weird little scifi find-the-traitor game enough

you (male, female or nb) wake up on a spaceship with a growing cast of very weird people, one or more of which (including possibly You) are gnosia, weird aliens out to whittle the crew down one by one, and your spaceship's safeguarding protocols won't let any of you leave until the ship is gnosia-free. your job (assuming you are not on the team doing the whittling) is to join the crew in interrogatory debates and investigations/angry panicked shouting matches to try and determine who is most suspicious, who is protecting who and why, and hopefully put the gnosia on ice before they can overwhelm you.

characters (including you) can be assigned roles such as a doctor, who can test iced bodies for gnosianess, or a guardian who can protect one character each night from... whatever gnosia do to people (only gnosia really know just what that is, and we're all humans here... right?). so it's a werewolf/mafia game in space basically, but what i found really compelling about it was how you gradually get a knack not just for puzzling out who is who each round on a pure logical basis but also by getting to know the characters and take advantage of their quirks and terrible personalities. made a few errors and the rest of the crew are closing in on you? appeal to the lonely otaku to back you up, he's desperate for friends and has no standards! the normally sweet, good-natured beluga in a spacesuit is suddenly accusing people right out of the gate; has she noticed something amiss or is her aggression a hint that she's actually a gnosia? if you're really struggling to crack a round maybe the elitist non-binary genius with a lightning-fast knack for spotting inconsistencies can point you in the right direction, assuming that the rest of the crew didn't get sick of their blatant machinations in the first round and vote them into cold storage.

it has a big, branching, zero escape-style plot and some delightful scifi worldbuilding. there is not a single character who does not have something bizarre and unnerving lurking in their history that may or may not be related to the current gnosia-infestation situation and the branches range from goofy and lighthearted to pitch black in tone without feeling strained. there are some characters who will just never tell you who they are as a human, but will let things slip if they become gnosia, there are branches that can only be solved by protecting or eliminating certain people while on certain sides, there are times when losing will show you a way forward. the overarching story has some really fun and interesting twists and concepts and genuinely did hit me a little in my cold, miserable heart by the end.

it is a good game i think and more people should play it so that people know what i am talking about when i wax enthusiastic about it

Bigby and reader but reader is a werewolf (like the kind with a scary and kinda painful transformation) could it be a first meeting/love at first sight/soulmates au?

I wanna do more werewolf readers so much

i wanna do more monster everyone

I wanna do monsters in general :) like bed :) any singles spooky monsters out there wanna take up ol sheepy weepy?

Bigby could smell it the moment he stepped foot into the Woodlands, the scent practically smacked his across the face like a leather glove. He felt both on edge and at peace, his eyes darting around the lobby only to see the same familiar faces looking at him strangely. He sniffed the air, stubbing out the Huff n’ Puff on the back of his heel and followed it to the elevator, taking it up to the floor where the Business Office was. He followed it closely behind, hellbent on finding out where that smell was coming from.

He’s never had anything like this come across his nose.

He needed to know.

He was before the door, staring at it ominously, eyes peering past the frosted glass and the peeling of the cheap stickers King Cole had insisted on. The smell was pungent, it was impossible to ignore, especially being this close to its source.

He could hear voices on the other side of the door; Snow and someone else. Whatever was going on, Snow was laughing and talking as though she wasn’t being threatened or talked back to like how she normally is while working. That was good at least.

The doorknob felt as though it were made of silver, he could feel his hands heating up and his heart beating like a rabbit in his chest. He never flung the door open so fast, the frosted window pane nearly cracking as the door smacked into the wall. Bigby winced at his mistake, earning himself two pairs of eyes to stare at him. Snow gave him the usual ‘What the fuck, Bigby?’ look, scrunching her eyebrows and pulling her lips into a frown so tight he swore her lips would disappear.

The other person just looked slightly shocked, their face slowly turning into a mixture of emotions Bigby couldn’t properly assess. It was like a mix of vast relief and great shock, almost as if you’ve been told both really great and really horrible news at the same time. Bigby’s face probably matched yours, icy claws scratched up his back while his heart fluttered in his chest. His throat burned as though it were screaming for him to smoke an entire pack of Huff ‘n Puffs but his nose was begging him not too, it was crying out for your scent.

He felt the beast beneath his skin start to stir.

“Bigby, what the hell?” Snow snipped. “You almost broke the door! We don’t have it in our budget to get a new one.” Bigby sheepishly smiled at the deputy mayor, muttering an apology under his breath. His eyes never left yours, and you were the exact same way. Snow glanced between the two of you before putting the pieces together. Her skin, pun not intended, went white - well, whiter than usual. “Oh, um, Sheriff Wolf, I’d like you to meet one of Fabletown’s newest residents.”

Bigby barely paid attention to Snow after that, the moment she said your name, it rang like a bell in his mind. It called attention to the monster that shared his skin, almost as if it calmed the beast down.

He watched as you swallowed thickly, eyeing him up and down before glancing back at Snow as she went on and on about something going against protocols and whatever.

He didn’t give a shit, really. He stopped giving a shit decades ago.

‘Why do I feel like this?’ Bigby thought to himself.

His eyebrows furrowed in deep thought as you glanced down at your feet before back to Snow as she called your name, dragging you out of the fog encasing your mind.

“I’ll be sure to have Dr. Swineheart contact you about next week, he’s Fabletown’s only real physician at the moment,” she stated softly.

Snow plucked a note card off of her desk and scribbled something down before handing it to you.

“Thank you,” you spoke softly, gently taking it from the deputy mayor before eyeing Bigby again. “I-I should go, I have work soon.”

Bigby had been trying to get ahold of you for the past week; Trying to catch you in the hallway, leaving calls to stop by his office to “finish paperwork”, he even knew where you worked but felt like it wouldn’t be right if he just showed up out of nowhere. He honestly felt bad for doing this all, but he couldn’t help it.

The smell of you was driving him crazy.

And the longer you spent in the Woodlands, the crazier it made Bigby feel. It was like yanking out hair by hair on a sleeping bear: Eventually, you’re gonna dwindle down its patience, it’s gonna wake up, and then there’s going to be a big mess to clean up. Your smell was everywhere, too. He couldn’t escape it. He could smell you halfway across Manhattan if he paid enough attention and snubbed out his cigarette.

He didn’t understand why until he finally pulled your records. Right there in big bold words under your name, after the subject of what fable they were: Lycanthrope.

Another werewolf was among them.

Bigby hadn’t met another werewolf in centuries.

And he knew exactly where you were just from one glance out of his window as he sat on his rickety old couch. His eyes connected with the full moon. His teeth gnawed at the smoking butt of the cigarette he worried in his mouth. He could feel the moon trying to pull at his mind, but centuries of practicing control and magic spells the thirteenth floor put on him so he wouldn’t start a werewolf rampage helped.

Bigby stood up from his chair and quickly slipped out of his apartment, completely ignoring the talking pig that piped up to ask for him to bring back beer.

He knew exactly where to go as he stood in the elevator’s cavity, pressing the button for the basement. The ride was both silent and deafening. Even where he stood from far away, he could hear your heart beating. It was fast, you were terrified. You were in an unfamiliar location about to turn into something big and hairy, about to be chained up like a beast all night long.

He knew how that felt.

Bigby walked through the basement, ignoring the horrible feelings that brewed when he walked past the witching well and towards the back of the basement where the cells lied. They really weren’t used that much anymore, not since the New York police started to really take control over all of the boroughs. He could hear loud cries echoing through the stoney halls, bouncing off of the pillars and ringing in his ears. The sound alone made his skin burn, the beast just beneath was fighting to come out. Before him, he could see the thin frame of Dr. Swineheart standing before a cell, his doctor’s satchel was still open as he took out a small glass bottle. Bigby winced internally, already knowing what the wretched thing was for.

Another loud cry came from the cell followed by a loud crack of bone, the cry cut off halfway through as it sounded like you were being strangled.

“-ight (Y/n), do you think you can drink this?” Dr. Swineheart reached his hand through the thick cell doors.

He suddenly jumped back as an animalistic snarl ripped through the air, the sound of chains violently being snatched and stretched made Bigby start to run. The doctor turned to see Bigby already behind him, jumping as Bigby peered over his skinny shoulder into the cell. It felt like his chest was about to cave in on itself. His heart yearned and cried at the sounds you made as you writhed on the floor.

“Sheriff, I thought-”

“You can go, doc,” Bigby cut the doctor off before he could finish. “I’ll watch ‘em.”

“Are you sure? Ms. White said-”

“You’re being looked at like a steak dinner. I think if anyone can stop ‘em from breaking out, it’s me.”

Dr. Swineheart’s face paled slightly before glancing at you out of the corner of his eye. Bigby wasn’t wrong, you looked like you were starving, practically salivating at the poor soul before you. He simply nodded and handed Bigby that damn bottle before grabbing his bag.

“You have my number. I’ll be back in the morning to check them out.”

Bigby waited until he knew the doctor was good as gone before he looked back at you. He tossed the bottle off to the side, nearly breaking the thing as it rolled away from him. His fingertips burned from the liquefied wolfsbane that coated the inside.

“I’m not giving you that shit. It doesn’t work,” Bigby grumbled to himself as he crouched down to be eye level with you.

You snapped your jaws, mouth full of heavy fangs that could easily tear apart skin and meat. Your mind was starting to be lost in the woods, the beast was taking over. He could see the hair growing all across your body in thick strands. Your nails were swollen, bleeding at the tips as he saw dark claws slowly starting to protrude. Another pained cry ripped through your body as you convulsed on the floor.

You snatched at the thick neck collar you had to wear, trying to yank the metal off of your body. It groaned under the pressure but refused to break - probably from some spell cast upon it.

Bigby couldn’t help the pull on his mind as your glowing eyes met his. Your beast was pleading with his, begging to set you free, begging him to be with you.

He watched as you suddenly settled, his golden eyes reflecting back at him while your cries slowly went silent.
