Sterek AU: How it could’ve happened
Tag sterek au
“It says right here,” Stiles says, pointing, “Three days past the waxing moon and under a clear sky–okay, are you even paying attention right now?”
“Yes,” Derek says, but a second too late. Then, “Sorry.”
“Do you think I do this for my health?” Stiles says, swinging around.
“No,” Derek says. “I know you do it for, um. To keep–to help.”
“Right,” Stiles says. “So maybe you could just try to–”
“You have a little–” Derek mumbles, nonsensically. He gestures at his cheek. Stiles shakes his head. “There’s–” Derek says, and then reaches out and smudges a thumb over the edge of Stiles’ cheekbone. “Dirt,” he says.
“Okay,” Stiles says. “I came right from practice. Are you okay? Do you need me to wash my face?”
“No,” Derek says, hunching his shoulders.
Sterek AU where Cora is in the middle of telling Derek he should stop complaining about being single and actually look for someone.
“Maybe I’m just waiting for the right person to come along,” Derek argues.
“Yeah, cos the right person is just going to fall out of the sky.”
And then about a second later Stiles Stilinski falls off a ladder and into Derek’s arms.
And that is how they meet.
But honestly, even a canon compliant fic of this scenario is still beautiful. Derek catching Stiles bridal style and there is a moment of awkwardness before Derek just dumps him onto the ground.
But then probably after that he can’t stop thinking about how weird that timing was and then he starts thinking about Stiles.
Sterek road trip AU
After graduating from college Stiles and Derek, best friends who both wish they were something more, road trip from California where they went to school, to New York City, where they both have jobs lined up.
They take the long way across the country, stopping at all the cheesy roadside attractions along the way. Every time they stop Derek sends a post card and Stiles buys a little trinket and writes a note to go with it.
By the time they make it to New York Stiles hands Derek a backpack full of little souvenir and notes about his feelings for him and Stiles has a mailbox full of postcards from Derek telling him about his feelings for him.
They spend their first 2 days in New York locked in Stiles’ bedroom.
On their next cross country road trip they hold hands and make out at the same cheesy roadside attractions that they stopped at on their first trip.
Seems a few of the familiars tend to go missing. Aka–Derek always seems to find his Betas–in any form. Aka an excuse to draw more animals.
AU: In which Stiles frequents Laura and Derek’s café in order to watch Derek, and Laura gets fed up with their pining and decides to get the two to man up and go on a date.
For @ravenwolf36 who is one of the nicest people I have ever interacted with. Thank you so so much for your patience (and I am so sorry this took fifty years). I’m incredibly glad you stumbled across my blog ❤️

In the end, it was Kira who managed to break Derek’s resolve. Stiles didn’t know why he was surprised. She was a badass trickster kitsune after all. And a member of the extremely tight friend group he liked to jokingly refer to as ‘the three musketeers.’ The first time Derek heard the title, he’d looked torn between smirking and scowling. Kira just fist bumped Boyd, then started talking about getting matching leather jackets. The had three clicked sometime after high school graduation and were pretty much inseparable.
So, through the power of friendship (and adorable puppy eyes), Kira convinced Derek to reveal the recipe for wolfsbane liquor. It was a secret that Derek refused to share because he was a responsible alpha. Or so he claimed. But now that everyone was twenty-one, Kira wanted to have a proper birthday celebration.
