This was one of the very first fics I started typesetting! I started it last summer, when I first got into ficbinding, as it's one of my all-time favorite Stetopher fics and I knew I would want a copy on my shelf. The typeset itself went through MANY different iterations, as I kept revisiting it as I learned more over the last year. It's also one of the only fics that I didn't struggle with design decisions on at all, and it came together exactly as I was envisioning.

Teen Wolf fanfiction recs — Chris/Peter/Stiles
°°°°°°
"Anchors" (E) by TriDom | 115,736 | Stiles falls in love with a married man twice his age. He doesn’t have daddy issues. He doesn’t have a kink, but it still happens. Little does he know he’s about to step into a failing marriage between a hunter and a werewolf, becoming just as entrenched in their shit as they are.
"So Well Suited" (E) by Bunnywest | 111,578 | Chris and Peter run HA Menswear. Stiles works at Gamesworld. They strike up an agreement, sharing kitchen and bathroom access. Stiles would like to share more, but Hot Suit guys are a couple, so he knows it will never happen. Never. Right?
"Warning: Contents Are Under Pressure" (E) by Shey | 68,690 | Recent NYU grad, and new law clerk, Stiles Stilinski is sixty-five hours into a very long work week, the latest in a string of very long work weeks. He’s suffering from a terrible case of no-time-to-jerk-off, and a shared apartment with painfully thin walls. To top it off, his entitled bastard of a boss seems to have missed the memo on personal space. If he doesn’t get some quality time with his right hand, and soon, he’s going to end up fired, or evicted. Unfortunately, his roommate is forever getting in the way of his plans, and it turns out his boss is just plain trouble with a capital T.
"It's an F12" (M) by TriDom | 1,453 | Stiles should be very grateful he's cute. That's why Peter excuses the things that come out of his smart mouth.
"smells like love" (M) by Areiton | 2,419 | They smell like warm love and want. That isn't the problem. The problem is they smell like sex.
"The Pumpkin Patch" (T) by luulapants | 956 | Behind him, Chris heard Peter shove Stiles, who stumbled into their little red wagon of pumpkins. He turned to make sure they hadn’t fallen out, snapping, “Careful!” “Yeah, Stiles.”
"There Is No Handbook for This" (E) by Whreflections | 5,686 | Stiles would have never, ever imagined he'd be at a place in his life where hiring an escort to get some decent sex and feel out how deep his attraction to older men really went was a legitimate option- and he can imagine a lot.
"it's not right (but it's okay)" (E) by DarkIsRising | 24,122 | Two years post-Nogitsume and Stiles Stilinski is Not Okay. It just so happens that Peter is around to make a suggestion.
"we never stopped burning" (E) by forpony | 366k+ WIP | Peter wakes up sane thanks to the remaining Hales taking care of him, Chris is divorced and hasn't gotten along with his family in years and Stiles and Lydia get dragged into werewolf drama by a semi-sentient tree.
"Conduit" 🔒 (E) by DarkIsRising | 52,408 | It could very well be the easiest money Stiles has ever made. A cool 10k to spend a weekend with some rich guy getting plowed in his familial estate during some hoity-toity engagement party for Rich Guy’s niece, with an extra 2k on offer if he can make his ex-husband visibly seethe with jealousy. And all that right there—sex, money, annoying the shit out of people— are some of Stiles’ most favorite things ever.
"Sense Memory" (T) by Shey | 1,452 | Chris goes through the motions, wondering if anything will jar him loose. He leaves the house, runs errands, works with the pack, fights monsters, everything exactly like usual. Routine. The kids argue over the bad guy of the week. Bicker. He doesn’t have the energy to be the adult in the room, the voice of reason. He tries, but he’s shouting into the void.
°°°°°°
"Madness" (E) by spqr | 13,208 | “This is a very awkward way to have a conversation,” Stiles says. “I really wish you would put some clothes on.” “Stiles,” Peter sighs, “I’m not going to contort myself into one of your t-shirts just so you can pretend you’re not lusting after my godlike body.” “I’m really more worried about the pants,” Stiles says, “also what the fuck, I am not lusting after your godlike body—” “Ah,” Peter grins, propping his head up on his hand. “So you admit the adjective is appropriate.”
"Torture Most Vile" (T) by aurevell | 1,896 | As a werewolf, Peter's above such trivial things as communicable diseases. Which is why it's a pity that he loves two humans prone to catching them.
More to be added.

WIP Tag Game
Thanks for the tag @cathcer1984 💛
Here's a rough snippet from my next Steddie fic...
When he saw Eddie’s lifeless body, mauled and bloody from demobat bites, Steve felt his heart stop in his chest. He hadn’t even gotten the chance to get to know him—really get to know him—or explore this feeling he has. He could’ve cried then and there, could've collapsed onto the cold, hard ground and sobbed until he was numb, but he didn’t. He sucked in his tears and carried Eddie out of the upside down—no way was he leaving him there—and straight to the hospital.
He was running on pure faith and hope, maybe a slither of denial, praying to whoever would listen that Eddie was hanging on, that there was still a flicker of life in him yet.
No pressure tags: @ash-mcj, @amatchinwater, @nutellarghh, @wolfflock, @softranswolves, @msridcully, @whreflections and @vmures!

It`s a "My Ipod is dying a slow and painful death, so I need to save all of my bookmarked fic`s" Rec List
The Day the World Went Away, pyjamagurl
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 59, 658
Summary: After being reunited with Sam and leaving Lisa, Dean is finding that adjusting back into the hunting lifestyle is harder than he thought it would be. When a particular hunt goes badly, he gets knocked out, only to awaken five years in the future. Things are definitely different; Castiel is a hunter, Sam is married and things between Dean and Castiel have gone somewhere Dean really hadn't expected. And somewhere in all of this there is a lesson to be learned.
Thoughts:
Snow Covered Roads , Alltheroads
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 34,141
Summary: On what was supposed to be a normal hunt, Dean takes a hit to the head, and loses years of his memory. Things get especially complicated when Sam makes Castiel promise that they won't tell Dean anything- nothing of all the grief, the pain, and the death that they've experienced in the recent years. At least until they can figure out how to tell Dean five years worth of hell. Except when one Winchester keeps something from the other, things don't tend to work out for the best.
Thoughts:
To Reign In Hell, Whreflections
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 70, 138
Summary: Dean/Castiel, with occasional references to Castiel/OMC
When Castiel abandoned Heaven to be with Dean, he damned himself to hell. Now, centuries later, Dean is sent on orders from Heaven to stop a demonic Castiel from leading the armies of hell in another war.
Spoilers: Through all of Season 4
Warnings: demon!Cas, torture, dub-con, and general darkness/violence
Thoughts:
I Through My Window See dehavilland
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 26,133
Summary: AU in which Castiel remains human after the apocalypse is successfully averted by Sam and Dean. The Winchesters get him set up in an apartment in Sioux Falls and then promptly leave him there, hoping he’ll start a new, normal, human life. Castiel, thinking the reason for this abandonment is his newfound mortality, comes to terms with being human in an effort to prove he has the strength to fight at their side. Dean’s more than a little surprised to come back and find the angel he once thought he knew bussing tables by day and hunting ghosts at night.
Warnings: Swearing, Mild Violence
Thoughts:
Keeping Faith, zoemathemata
Rating: PG for language only.
Word Count: ~9000
Summary: After the apocalypse is over, Dean and Cas become a family when they take in a little girl.Spoilers: Season 4
Thoughts:
Looking In the Wrong World, misslucyjane
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 33,000
Summary: For six months Dean has thought Castiel was killed by the Leviathan, but a little girl with an artistic bent insists Castiel is alive and can be saved. Dean doesn't know how to save someone without a monster to fight, but Castiel is in need of rescue nonetheless.
Spoilers: Minor rumors for upcoming episodes.
Warnings: Depression, discussion of suicide and self-harm, suicidal thoughts.
Thoughts:
Well, What Do We Have Here? (Baby Please Don't Go) , shilohslaughter
Rating: Explicit
Word count: 32125
Summary: Dark!fic AU. Castiel is the black-eyed Angel of the Crossroads with whom Dean barters himself to save Mary from dying. Ripping him from his life on earth, Castiel takes Dean to Heaven to serve as a makeshift pet. The more time he spends with the angel, Dean starts to see that something bigger is happening to him and he's powerless to stop it. When Dean finds out that Castiel has been lying to him the entire time, he realizes just how powerless he truly is.
Many of the themes in this story will be upsetting to some people and I urge you take caution if you choose to read this. Neither Castiel nor Dean die in the story, but many other people do.
Thoughts:
Hummingbirds, strangenessandcharm
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 23,700
Summary: Castiel is rendered mute after being taught a painful lesson, but that enables Dean to learn a few lessons of his own while holding onto something important for him. Elsewhere, someone really loves to count... Set sometime vague in season six, post-Sam being re-souled.
Warnings: Hurt/comfort; Castiel!whump; Dean!whump; porn. It’s very gory in places, so please be warned. And it’s also very, very soppy in others, so be warned for that, too...
Thoughts:
A Few Small Repairs, liadan14
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~10000
Summary: The apocalypse is over; all is well. Except that Sam's feeling a bit rudderless and missing Gabriel more than he thought he would, and that Dean and Castiel are keeping secrets, and, oh, yeah, that John Winchester decided to rise from the grave and no one really knows why.
Pre-hiatus S5, I suppose – up to maybe 5x14, although not many direct references to spoilery events.
Thoughts:
The Consort, ladyoneill
Rating: NC17
Word Count: 17,282
Summary: Filled with the souls and grace and demonic presences from Purgatory, Castiel proclaims himself the new god and demands Dean, of all humans, kneel before him. Sam is broken and Dean gets Castiel to agree to fix him by rashly promising to do anything. Anything means becoming an unwilling consort to the new god as he destroys the wicked and blesses the few good and begins his not so benevolent conquering of Earth. Meanwhile, Sam, Bobby and Crowley scramble to find a way to depower Castiel...with a little help from one of the beings trapped within him. A/U Season 7 with no mention of the leviathans and my own take on the church and political office scenes in 7.1.
Warnings: graphic non-con sex between Dean and Castiel, violence, language, Stockholm Syndrome, mass murder, minor suicidal thoughts, major character death, non-graphic mentions of child prostitution and rape in Hell.
Thoughts:
Snow Covered Roads, alltheroads, WIP
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 22928
Summary:
On what was supposed to be a normal hunt, Dean takes a hit to the head, and loses years of his memory.
Things get especially complicated when Sam makes Castiel promise that they won't tell Dean anything- nothing of all the grief, the pain, and the death that they've experienced in the recent years. At least until they can figure out how to tell Dean five years worth of hell.
Except when one Winchester keeps something from the other, things don't tend to work out for the best.
Thoughts:It`s a WIP and that infuriates me, but I am so wrapped up in this story I can`t help but wait and hope.
I`m The One Who Gripped You Tight To Screw Over The Other Guys, By HigherMagic,WIP
Rating: T
Word count: 34,551
Summary:...To Screw Over The Other Guys. Season 4 AU. Castiel never was an Angel - Dean didn't know who or what had raised him from Hell. It could have been anything powerful enough. What he hadn't expected...was Castiel.
My Thoughts:I rarely like a WIP, unless it`s been abandoned and I can`t get my hopes up, but this fic is so amazing that I`m willing to take the risk. The concept is one of the greatest things I`ve ever heard. Cas is SO GOOD, he is excellently written, and wicked and amazing. I love this one.

Word Count: 12,101
Summary: In which Castiel is the weird time-traveling freak who just might be the love of Dean Winchester's life

When Castiel moves into the neighborhood, they strike up a friendship that has the chance to become something more. But before that can run its course, the secrets of Castiel’s past catch up with them both, and their whole world changes.
My Thoughts:Twists and turns like crazy! A lot of the time when you have great plot twists, either the parts before or after that point in the story are significantly weaker, but every bit of this fic is well written, entertaining, and an all around great read.
The Mirror By cloudyjenn
Rating: R
Word Count: 24,500+
Summary: When Dean touches a strange mirror, he's whisked away to one alternate reality after another and it doesn't take him long to realize the universe is trying to tell him something.

How A Righteous Man Raises a Rose By swordofmymouth
Rating: T
Word count:5,586
Summary:AU in which the apocalypse and angels and demons never happen, and Sam and Jess and Dean live together in a suburban lifestyle -- and then suddenly, nothing is alternate universe at all. Told from Sam's POV. Dean is compelled to tend a dead rose garden, if only Dean could remember why; and remember why it is so important.Spoilers: Everything up to Season 6 finale
My Thoughts: It`s a bitter-sweet one and it`s a great plot.
All the Hours Wound By Fossarian
Rating: R
Word count:47,154
Summary:Alone and wandering, Castiel struggles to survive on his own with little memory of who he is or how he got to be that way, until he is followed by a man who knows his name, and seems to know much more than that. Past season 5
My Thoughts:Seriously great, It had me hooked, I was so turned around and confused, but that only made it better cause so were the characters. Make no mistake, it belongs in the angst section.I would have loved if it was longer, the ending still had some mystery, but I think that was the authors choice.
Wait and See By Oncethrown
Rating: T
Word Count: 146,925
Summary: After the apocalypse doesn't happen, Dean goes back to Bobby's house alone. He burned Bobby's body in the field. There wasn't enough of Cas left to burn or bury, and Sam was gone. After a few weeks of drinking and researching, Dean's ready to finally off himself and join his whole family, but a discount Easter card and a sudden reappearance save him.Spoilers: Season 5 finale.
My Thoughts:Had me crying, a lot. Its one of the best stories, I adore this one because it starts out in one of the darkest places they could be in, but things slowly get better, that`s not to say there is an easy road to recovery, cause wholly shit is it not, but there is hope, and love, and family, of sorts. And that's more than you could have seen in the beginning.
In Your Frail Gesture Are Thing Which Enclose Me By an_ardent_rain
Rating: M
Word Count: 27,063
Summary: AR set during 7x01 Cas' grace gets sucked out with the monster souls and he's left human. He leaves Sam and Dean and ends up in LA. After a brief, miserable period of dissolution he turns to writing and through his book reconnects with Dean.
My Thoughts: I keep forgetting this isn`t 2014!Cas (And I love me some Future!Cas), very similar to the attitude and struggles, but that's cause if cas is human, and has no support system he would probably turn out the same way no matter the rest of the circumstances. It`s sad, and hard to get through cause it hurts. But it`s worth it.
Thursday`s Child By strangenessandcharm
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 114,000
Summary: Thursday’s child has far to go.
Notes: Spoilers for 5.04, 'The End'. So I got to wondering: what would have happened if past!Dean hadn’t turned up in 2014, and future!Dean had actually succeeded in killing Lucifer with the Colt? Apparently, it involves lots of angsting. Who knew?
Warnings: This is future!Castiel, so be prepared for Castiel/OFCs, drug use and alcohol abuse (hey, it’s all canon!). In addition there’s the odd bit of violence, some whump, muchas porning and very brief implied non-con (nothing graphic at all). Please be warned if you don’t like death!fics that this story is set after Dean had to kill Lucifer!Sam, so clearly there’s (a) no Sam and (b) some mourning. On the bright side, though, there's also a guest appearance from a real-life Hollywood star! (Well, sort of.)
My Thoughts:Im forever in love with everything this Fic chooses to be. It hurts, all the way through and it starts in a desperate place and seems to only get worse, but eventually there is a little light at the end of the tunnel. It HURTS! but it`s a kinda beautiful pain.
Ghost Dance By omphalos
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 51,194
Summary: In post-apocalyptic isolation, Castiel nurses Dean back to something like his former self, but will a time come when Dean's recovered --and rediscovered-- too much? Spoilers: Season 5ish
My Thoughts:This is one of the most well written works I have ever read. Ever. The opening has haunted me since I read it, this fic stuck with me. It`s a painful and sad story but it`s really amazing.
The List By daisyham8
Rating: M
Word count: 6,694
Summary:Castiel knows things are changing for him and he can't stop it, so he composes a List. Dean/Castiel, spoilers/canon through 5x14. Character death
My Thoughts:It is heartbreaking. It`s Cas and unfulfilled hopes, and regrets, and confusion.
These Are Not Real Problems By scaramouche
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 30,000+
Summary: Castiel used to be a god. Dean took that away from him, and now Castiel's stuck in a hell of his own making. Futurefic, post-Season 6.
My Thoughts:Cas is in a really horrible place, literally and figuratively. He is not like himself and he dosen`t want the help he`s offered. It` s a beautiful(PAINFUL) concept and plot. Plus a whole adventure plot along with the angsting. Eventually there is a speck of hope.
It`s not easy Being Dean By strangenessandcharm
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 13,100 (this part; probably around 30,000+ in total)
Summary: The Winchesters are given a mission: they have to save Castiel. The trouble is, Castiel isn’t really Castiel any more…
Notes: Set during season five. This is a hooker!Cas fic which somehow doesn’t contain any sex (yeah, I know, how the hell did that happen?), but don’t let that fool you: it’s still pretty dark at times and there’s sexual talk.
My Thoughts:OWOWOW! This one hurts, from how horrible Cas` struggles are, to the fact that Dean knows Cas, but Cas dosen`t know him, to the long term effects of what they go through. It ALL hurts. But there is just a little happiness at the end.
AU:
Haaaaaaaaave You Met Dean
Rating: T
Word count: 19,784
Summary:Title because I'm in an odd mood. AU in which Dean and Castiel meet as strangers, and end up having a little more to do with each other than they expected. Plot partially stolen from the movie 'Dan in real life'.

The Definition of Perpetual Motion
Rating:NC-17
Word count:41,112
Summary: Dean Winchester was doing all right. He had a good job, a few friends, and all the people he loved were safe. He got by. Then he got a call from Sam in the middle of the night. Sam wasn't all right, and it turned out he hadn't been for a long time. Dean's little brother had no memory of the last four years of his life and only pieces of years before that, and all Dean could think of was how he'd smiled as he waved Sam-who-wasn't-Sam off to college. Sam didn't want to take over Dean's life, but he didn't know where else to turn. Dr. Castiel Novak was "a bleeding heart" and he was beginning to realize that neither of the brothers had gotten through their experiences unscathed.
Thoughts:
A Tale Of Survival
Rating: R
Word count: 5.846
Summary:Terrible Life!AU. After years of not caring about him Dean finds himself obsessed with the wounded Marine that is a regular at his regular coffee shop. An awkward act of kindness leads to a strange friendship between the two man.

Rating: PG-13
Word count: 3,138
Summary:AU where Dean wakes up from a coma and befriends and maybe-sort-of-kinda crushes on his weird but awesome roommate Castiel. Pointless fluff.

Rating: NC-17
Word count: 18,873
Summary: When Sam brings his new boyfriend, Castiel, home to meet Dean, Dean is expecting the usual: to hate Castiel and to have to give him the "older brother" speech. What he discovers when he meets Cas is a hell of a lot different. Meanwhile, Sam struggles with maintaining a passing grade in chemistry, a relationship with his closest friend, and his confusing feelings regarding Cas' older brother, Gabriel.

Have Love Will Travel
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 94,000
Summary:Castiel Novak is a reclusive writer with a childhood so tragic it's left him terrified to leave his home—until his overbearing brother, Gabriel, drags him out for a night on the town full of booze and strip clubs, and he encounters Dean Winchester, a mesmerizing and mysterious stripper with secrets of his own. Both men find themselves inexplicably drawn to each other, and soon Dean's private dances for Castiel become much more, as both men confess their troubles and find solace in each other's company. But neither can seem to find the courage to take their relationship further than the intimacy of the club's VIP Room—and just when Dean's own brother gives him the excuse he needs to finally admit his feelings, Dean discovers something that brings it all crumbling down. Will they find a way past their demons and their trust issues, and back to each other?
My Thoughts:This is cute and sweet. Dean and Cas are great (like always) and while there are definitely major obsticals, they face them together, eventually,only after some classic Destiel miscommunication and emotional constipation.
The Ghost of Embers
Rating:NC17
Word count:38,500
Summary:Dean Winchester's life has been one big clusterfuck. He lost his mother to a house fire when he was a child, and he lost his father to an explosive car accident when he was a teen, and, now that he's a full-grown man, he's losing his brother to college and to distant, sunny California. Dean, determined not to let his pyrophobia or his anxiety over his absent brother ruin him, and desirous of a change that just might fix everything, makes the rashest move of his adult life: a largely unnecessary, almost entirely unplanned move to New York City. Stuck in the middle of a city that has a reputation for chewing up and spitting out the unprepared, Dean's anxieties fluctuate between bad and worse...until he starts to get to know his mysterious and antisocial next door neighbor, Castiel. But mystery isn't always a good thing; Castiel is hiding a secret...a secret that even the cynical Dean Winchester might have trouble believing.
My Thoughts:I loved the adorable relationship Cas and Dean have. I loved the whole plot, a lot of adorable, and a significant amount of angst. I will say that his kinda triggered me. I had a little bit of a panic attack, because they expanded on pyro-phobia so well and it hit REALLY close to home. So be careful, but it does mean that the writing is really good and descriptive.

Summary: wherein Castiel owns a self-run t-shirts printing business for which he also makes custom orders, Dean orders Castiel's shirts online after Sam gets him a customized one and their romance is based on nonexistent boundaries. And where Balthazar owns the sex shop in front of Castiel's store and won't mind his own business.
My Thoughts:This fic is a great story, I love the characterization. I love that it is a little bit crazy, but only in a "is this really happening, what am I doing?" way. It really captures what it feels like when you meet someone you click with and get that little rush from talking to them. Its a fluffy sweet story. I liked it.

Summary:Dean's life at twenty-four makes him feel like he's forty--he works two jobs to help pay bills for his house and put his genius little brother through private school, and has spent six years (on and off, let's be honest) working on his mechanical engineering degree at KU. With so much of his life devoted to his family, Dean has little time in his schedule for class and no time for social interaction. Then, while getting his classes together for the fall, he finds himself in a do-or-die situation: He must take his last literature class now, his spring already filled with those left for his major...except that none of the English classes will fit his schedule.
This is how Dean grovels and begs Dr. Castiel Milton to make a special arrangement for him, and Dr. Milton does.

Castiel is an angel who has been cut-off from heaven to live with Man for a hundred years. Trying to right a wrong, he accidentally hires Dean as his rent-a-boy and learns a thing or two about being human.

He isn't entirely sure what to make of the angel that pulled him out of it, or his increasingly dysfunctional fellow operatives, or the fact that it seems that he's accidentally kick-started the apocalypse. It's going to take more than prayer and salt rounds to fix up this particular mess-

Also, I'm ignoring the comics.

If Stiles had to boil down what it was he'd loved about necromancy since he was a kid, a lot of it had to come right down to the impossibility- A bone dragon shouldn't be alive, but it was; if he played the game right, then it was alive because of him. He wanted that impossibility, wanted to ride it and hold it in his hand and feel the tangible proof that he'd brought it about- and maybe that was part of what drew him to Peter, too. If Peter was real, alive and back from the dead, then he'd done the impossible. Next to resurrection, becoming an anchor for a werewolf that had never outright asked for one didn't sound quite so insurmountable. (Words: 18,445) Part 1 of Necromancer Stiles verse

Stocking Stuffer Sunday - Fic - What Follows
[[follow up to a drabble inspired by the first Thirsty Thursday pic set :D ]]
On November 2nd, Stiles posts a picture of himself by a lake in Estes Park. He sits on a rock he clearly had to wade to, with boots and jeans back on. His plaid shirt is half open under his coat, nothing under the shirt; his hair’s blown by the wind. He looks every inch the approximation of a modern cowboy as told by a romance novel, and sure, it’s not real—and Peter wants to see the real, he truly does. He’ll wait until Stiles posts a story that will almost certainly show him nearly falling in the lake, and he’ll love that—but he’s a man, too. He’s not immune to tricks of lighting and setting and strategic undressing. He’s not immune to beautiful boys—this one least of all.
He looks in the back of the limo on the way to his meeting, looks again that night after dinner by himself in his hotel room, and thinks about touching his dick. He does in the shower, then looks again after bed—and there are the outtakes, Stiles with the same red haired girl Peter’s seen him with sometimes before. His best friend, he’d said. They’re laughing at the edge of the water, Stiles hopping and high pitched cursing at the cold, and Peter finds himself laughing in the dark with them.
There’s something to be said for that, probably—an essay on social media, how it connects the world, and doesn’t change the fact that you can still be one man in a glorified box with no one to hear you.
Maybe it’s the reminder of his own loneliness that makes him do the stupid thing that he’s avoided for months; maybe it’s Colorado. His memories of being there with Derek are so warm, so tightly kept.
Before he falls asleep, Peter snatches the phone back off his nightstand, and opens Instagram one more time.
Stiles’ DM’s are open.
Peter doesn’t let himself think; just types.
While you’re there, you have to see the Stanley. It’s a tourist trap that’s worth it, even with all the mountains to see. You’ll regret it if you don’t.
He locks his phone, and expects nothing, intends to wake up to nothing—but it chimes before it even hits his chest.
Oh don’t worry; I want to. It’s a little out of the price range right now, though, and I want to stay there, get the real experience, see a ghost 👻 – youcantpronounceitanyway
The very first thought Peter has isn’t one he can voice. This isn’t a sugarbaby dating site; this is Instagram, and for all that he’s watched Stiles like a goddamn hawk for months, to the boy he’s nothing but a stranger, an older man creeping on him like so many others do. Peter’s read the comments.
Never saw a ghost there, but the views and the history were worth it anyway. The place does have a presence. I’m sure that’s a disappointment. -hale7
All that tells me is that you’re a quitter, or you have terrible energy, and I gotta say you don’t look like a guy with terrible energy 😉 I mean, not from that thumbnail anyway. Full assessment pending – youcantpronounceitanyway
I may not use Instagram often, but I do have a few pictures up. -hale7
Yeah, and they’re locked- which I mean, totally cool, you don’t have to add me; I appreciate the heads up – youcantpronounceitanyway
Shit. It sounds like backing up—of course it does, because while he’d been focused on that window, Stiles had requested to follow him, and he hadn’t even noticed. He’s not ancient; most of the time he’s pretty good with technology. It might be worth it to tell him he was distracted, might be better to just let it go.
Peter allows him, and goes back.
I hadn’t noticed; getting ready for bed. You can give me your assessment in the morning. -hale7
He has to leave it there; he has to. If he doesn’t, this might turn into a worse idea than he anticipated. Peter puts his phone on vibrate, and goes to sleep.
===
He checks Instagram before he’s even properly awake. Apparently, Stiles assessment is nothing but fevered emojis. It dates him; it’s endearing. And yes, Peter can’t help but preen a little—they mostly weren’t even his best pictures, just one in a suit, one by the pool, and handful with family. The most recent shows him with Derek and Chris’ daughter held against his chest, the day she was born.
He can’t look at that one just now; if he does, he’ll want to go home, and he’s in Boston another two weeks at least.
I’ll take that as a passing grade. -hale7
Again, he doesn’t expect an answer—it’s nearly 4 AM in Colorado, but he’s barely out of bed and taming his hair when the phone chimes again.
Your energy passes with flying colors and bonus points. Such great energy. 14/10. If we were in the same place, I’d bet money I don’t have that my energy and your energy would be enough to summon like, at least five ghosts. – youcantpronounceitanyway
Peter’s own laughter shocks him, rough with sleep, jarring in the quiet.
I don’t think that’s how most people define good energy. -hale7
Yeah, well, non-ghost energy is boring, and you are not that, if I may say—which I think I can, cause you messaged me first. – youcantpronounceitanyway
It’s there, at his acknowledgement, that Peter stops. He’s in front of the hotel mirror, shirtless, unshaven, his hair half done and his brush still by his hand. He’s too distracted to finish it properly or start anything else, going about getting ready with 75% of his mind firmly on his phone, listening and listening. Is he really doing this? Is he flirting with the kid he’s watched too long and too intently to not feel a bit like a predator, even if Stiles is 20?
When he closes his eyes to breathe, it’s not the romance novel cowboy staring down the sunset he sees, but the boy in the garden, shaking his hand and showing his spider bite off to the phone so close the pinpricks on his skin had blurred. Peter had wanted to kiss it, to hold his hand and take the sting.
Stupid or not, this isn’t some run of the mill influencer crush; it isn’t. He’s seen a hundred beautiful boys; none of them are anything like this one.
Peter leaves the brush, and swipes up his phone.
Compliment me as much as you like; it’ll get you everywhere- just know I intend to return the favor. -hale7
Whatever this is, he’s doing it.

Merry Christmas, whreflections!
It was so much fun thinking up ideas for @whreflections and i definitely had fun writing this!
*****
the first time.
When someone dies, you learn to hate your memory. Stiles remembers his mom’s order from the diner across town, how she always wanted half tea and half lemonade with heavy ice at any place that could swing it. But, when he closes his eyes, he can’t see what color her eyes were when the sunlight hit them, if it was her bottom teeth that were crooked or just a couple on the top, if her nose tilted upward at the end or if Stiles made the vision of it up so he could feel like he had a piece of her in himself. Was the small scar where she hit her head as a child threading through her left or right eyebrow?
He doesn’t remember the last time she smiled before the dirt separated them or what she liked to watch on television before they could only choose from the handful of hospital channels that didn’t result in static, but he knows she preferred sneakers to sandals and she thought the way you spoke about yourself was important. She liked trees and bright-colored bugs but Stiles doesn’t know if she knew she was going to die. He likes to think she didn’t, that she was pleasantly surprised when the pain made way for a field of wildflowers, a hospital gown’s chrysalis shed for the wings of the baby pink sundress she always wore on date night. He can’t remember if she believed in heaven, but he hopes she is there anyway.

heads up, 7 up
rules: share your last 7 lines and tag 7 people
Thank you to @route1961 and @msridcully for the tags 💛
The last seven lines I wrote were for my book. It's really rough, and probably way more/less than seven lines, but my brain's too fuzzy to count 😂
Oh, God.
I set down the tray I had in my hand, bracing myself against an empty table as a rogue thought hit me like a freight train.
What if he… liked me?
I shook my head. Nah, surely not. I huffed out a humorless laugh, but as I ran through everything again, my face slowly evened out.
Could he?
No pressure tags: @ash-mcj, @shey-elizabeth, @yogi-bogey-box, @whreflections, @faevorite-main-blog, @kirah69 and @lucky-bishop.

Hi! I was curious if you knew any cottagecore fics? I read one (I think the title was 'Bigfoot told me you were coming') and I'm kind of obsessed with just, cottages in the middle of nowhere and softness and self healing with a bit of Stiles mixed in. Thank you if you know of any!
AND
serpensastrum asked:
So...uuuuh...I'm really stressed lately and I was wondering if maybe you have any cottagecore themed sterek fics to suggest? Preferably long and completed. Happy endings only please
You know I thought this would be much harder but it turned out I find a bunch!
Bigfoot Told Me You Were Coming by twothumbsandnostakeincanon (somanyofthekids)
(9/9 I 25/232 I Teen I Stetopher)
Peter and Chris are on the run when they stumble across Stiles' home in the woods.
***
A Cottage in the Woods by FaeryQueen07
(1/1 I 2,960 I General I Sterek)
“There’s a cottage,” Stiles’ mother says, and then she presses a kiss to his forehead before turning off the light.
Inadmissible Result by Whreflections
(1/1 I 3,462 I Teen i Sterek)
There's a cottage in the woods that supposedly grants a lifetime of love to couples who spend a night during the Christmas season inside its walls. Since he's 100% certain Derek's feelings for him aren't romantic (and God, isn't that a tragedy), Stiles is sure that Derek is just the right person to help him test the enchantment.
He's also sure that if the enchantment doesn't fail, he just might get everything he's ever wanted.
This Space Is For You by matildajones
(1/1 I 3,908 I Teen I Sterek)
Derek is a lonely, angry man, living in the middle of nowhere.
Cabins, Confessions, and Cockroaches by Nutellargh
(1/1 I 4,009 I Teen I Sterek)
That's how Stiles found himself in the middle of a forest, trying to grab the one bag of clothes and a bajilion bags of mystical powders, liquids, books and weapons, and instantly dropping them as he spotted the cabin dude.
Derek Hale chopping wood with an axe while shirtless was not a sight Stiles was prepared for.
Cold Iron by the_problem_with_stardust
(5/5 I 5,644 I Teen I Sterek)
Derek thought the disaster that ended with Kate Argent almost burning down his family home was a relationship worst-case scenario. So, when Dr. Deaton reveals that his current girlfriend is not what she seems, Derek is ready to swear off romance forever. In an attempt to escape his well-meaning (but insanely overbearing) family, Derek volunteers to take over remodeling the small cottage that was left to the Hale siblings in his grandmother’s will. Connemara is nothing like California, and Derek feels like his luck just might be looking up.
A Cottage in November by Freshnonsense42
(1/1 I 6,522 I Teen I Sterek)
Derek doesn't know why he woke up in Stiles Stilinski's front yard, but he knows he trusts him.
He just can't figure out why he would trust a witch again.
Sweet Vinegar by Julibean19
(1/1 I 10,329 I Explicit I Sterek)
"By design, the cottage only had room for one. That should have been enough of a hint. He wanted to be left alone. He needed to be left alone. It was imperative that the Betas stay far away from him, for their own safety. And Stiles… Stiles needed to stay away more than anyone else. The man was so fragile compared to the others. Derek knew Stiles would punch him for ever suggesting it, but he was so terribly nervous whenever Stiles was around. One little slip. That’s all it would take. With the flick of a claw, Derek could end the human’s life for good. His bright, spectacular light would be snuffed out, just like that, never to shine again. Derek couldn’t stand to let that happen. Stiles was good. Derek ruined everything he touched. There was no room in his life for good things."
After the events of season 3a, Derek becomes a recluse, locking himself away from the pack. Suffering from severe PTSD, Derek attempts to cope with his symptoms alone. He refuses to let anyone in, until a certain someone comes along.
The Moon's Gonna Follow Me Home by turningterrific
(2/2 I 82,866 I Explicit I Sterek)
Derek doesn’t want to call the window repair guy. He doesn’t want to sweep up the glass. He’ll inevitably miss a few shards and pull them out of the bottom of his bare feet for weeks.
He doesn’t want to try to make this place feel like home when it isn’t.
Derek stayed in Beacon Hills and tried to make it work because he wanted pack, wanted purpose. He gave his best effort and found himself back where he started: alone, with a few begrudging allies. He’s tired, and even though his werewolf body heals quickly, he feels the weary ache down to his center.
He packs his car with the few things he cares about enough to drag them from place to place. He locks the loft and calls a realtor about listing the building he’d bought in a misguided attempt to secure a future.
And then he leaves.

“Write for yourself,” some thoughts
Write for yourself, absolutely.
But once you *have* written it is completely normal and understandable to want an audience for what you made. You spent time on it, you held it in your heart, you wanted to see it out in the world to share it with others. When others don’t see it to the degree you were hoping they would it absolutely fucking sucks. I get this from new writers and established writers, everyone gets salty and sad when they don’t get the response that they were anticipating.
I hate how we use the “you should write for yourself” advice as a purity test for art. You didn’t get the response you wanted? Well clearly you weren’t writing for the “right” reasons. Disappointment happens. No one is wrong for being disappointed. And, unfortunately, when that happens there are really only two options from there: you can keep going or you can quit.
I will be completely candid and say in my many creative pursuits I have done both. I *have* quit when the heavy hearted disappointment outweighed my enjoyment, when I couldn’t start the activity without mourning the small deaths of all my past hopes. And you know what? Coming out the other end there is regret that I quit but it was fine. I have also pushed through, continued despite not getting reactions I’d hoped for, and have been rewarded for it.
Sometimes there’s a happy ending, attention and feedback that has helped me trudge on. Sometimes not. Either way, it’s not something I could ever control. If anyone is looking at some insight I’ve found it’s this: the best thing I ever did for my writing was to read. And when I read and fall a little in love with the writer, the best best thing I ever learned was to develop an ability to see what they were doing in their writing that I admired and tried to incorporate it in my own writing to improve.
Like currently? There’s this trick that writers whose fic I admire do where instead of including the “he says” “she says” after dialogue they end the dialogue with a period and then include actions before picking up the dialogue again, and it is absolutely seamless. Like this:
Bone Dragon, by @whreflections
“I’m not talking about bringing Scar back from the dead.” She tapped her notebook, her eyes warm and bright. She had always loved sharing with him, telling him a new story he’d never heard before. “A necromancer doesn’t bring back the dead. They bring back something else—what that something else is depends on what kind of story you’re telling, and what you believe. Sometimes, they bring back a monster—but I like it better when they bring back a friend.”
...or...
A Thousand Prayers for the Dead, by @sushiburritonoms
“It’s a holiday, he’s allowed to be spoiled.” Boba closed the gap between them and pulled Din close, dipping his head so Din could meet his helmeted forehead. The warmth of the taller man’s arms around him made the tension in his lower back ease somewhat. “It looks like you survived your trip.”
It seems like such a small thing, but instictually it’s not how I want to write, and for now every time I attempt it, it comes across incredibly clunky. But I know once I get it figured out, I’ll come out the other side with another trick in my pocket to whip out when I write. Does it help the feelings of disappointment when things don’t happen the way I want them to? Not entirely. I’ve “retired” nearly every week since I started writing fanfic, as all my friends can tell you. But it helps to have something else to focus on so that you just. keep. moving. forward.
Anyway, I hope that helps whoever needs to hear it. Keep moving forward. Onwards and maybe not upwards but always onwards.
