Sterek trope: Finding each other again post-Beacon Hills!

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, ❤ ❤

AU » Four Stones

In a time of war, Captain Stilinski became the youngest ever commander of a US space exploration vehicle, the title having been passed down to him from his deceased father. Long after the war ends, he and his crew still drift aimlessly across the galaxy, decreasing supplies and no home to return to after the carnage took their earth. Their luck plummets further when they veer into an alien vessel carrying a species they’ve never seen before – part human, part wolf. The ship’s aggressive captain, Derek Hale, attempts to board their ship and commandeer their supplies, his own crew rabid and hungry after weeks without a meal. But Captain Stilinski won’t watch any more of his family die. For his crew, he will go to war once again.

colorblind!stiles who doesn’t see the color red and who doesn’t react at all when derek flashes his alpha eyes at him by accident the first time they meet and makes derek think that he already knows about werewolves but is super chill about it so derek says nothing because he’s a big idiot and communication is obviously not his skill. 
then they start dating and stiles thinks it’s so cute that derek talks about his friends as a pack because he’s so growly it fits him really well to talk like a wolf.
and then one day derek is all fangs and claws (because stiles got attacked or whatever) and stiles is like ‘WHAT THE FUCK?!!!????!!!’ and derek is like “what the fuck ‘WHAT THE FUCK’ ?” and then awkward happens but everything gets sorted out and they live together forever and eveeeeeer.
