Finding each other post Beacon Hills:

This is one of my fave tropes and any list for it HAS to start with:

Not Quite Lost (Not Quite Found) by alocalband
A year after the nogitsune is defeated, Derek is living a quiet life in the mountains above a small town in Colorado.Then Stiles shows up.

A Californian Werewolf in New York by dancinbutterfly, knight_tracer
When Derek finally realizes that there’s nothing left for him in Beacon Hills, he goes back to New York, gets a life, falls in love and finds his home.

(This fic manages to incorporate Oz from BtVS as Derek’s BFF, in a really natural way AND I LOVE IT)

One Door Closes by KouriArashi

Derek knows that Stiles is too young for him, but Stiles doesn’t agree. Eight years after Derek rejects him due to the age gap, they meet again where Derek has settled in Wyoming as a ranch hand, and Stiles is the new deputy, and still pissed as hell about the way Derek turned him down. Things don’t go as either of them planned. 
(Literally my favorite. I don’t know how many times I’ve read this sucker.)

Inertia by Apocryphal
The last thing Derek and Cora are expecting to find outside their motel room is a gaunt Stiles Stilinski, lacrosse bag on one shoulder and the weight of the world on the other.

(I’m not sure this is strictly speaking what you meant- but I love it so much I couldn’t leave it off).

Everything has changed by Areiton
“C’mon,” he says, catching his fingers in your sweater, and tugs. “We’re gonna get coffee, you fucking stalker.”

You follow him, and try not to think about how easy and right it feels.

OrDerek and Stiles both leave Beacon Hills and still find each other.

(Written in second person, but don’t let that dissuade you, it’s lovely.)

testing the waters by Grimm
Prompt fill: “I would LOVE a future!fic where Stiles randomly bumps into Derek, maybe in nyc. He’s in college now or maybe even post college, and this is their first time interacting since Derek left Beacon Hills. Stiles is obviously SMOKING HOT now and Derek finally got his shit together and is a successful 30 something.”

Hope that’s okay, ❤ ❤
