Stiles was young when he found out he could do magic, that he was a witch. But living as an only son left him with too much time on his hands, which is why he decided to use his magic to create something he wasn’t even sure it was possible in the first place. Alone in the woods, the young Stiles lost himself to magic, but someone found him. Someone saved him.

It was a wolf.

Home Is Wherever I’m With You by 

aussiebee | 9.9K

Stiles goes backpacking across Europe and eventually settles with his family in Poland to go to uni there. He’s trying his hardest to forget the drama of the past, and to get over a certain werewolf he once knew, but it turns out that’s not as easy to do as he’d hoped.

Written in the Scars by

Stiles stared into eyes that were just a little lighter than even the day before, looking almost beta-gold in the harsh lighting. His nose was just a little less uptilted, the moles on his face not quite where they used to be. The scar on the bottom of his chin from when he fell off the swings in third grade was just gone. He seemed a little bit taller, his shoulders a little bit wider.

With trembling fingers Stiles folded his left ear forward, craning his neck. A wheezing breath escaped him, his legs suddenly feeling weak with relief.

The mark of the Oni was still there, the one that meant self.

Stiles was still himself. For now.

there’s a ritual for that by 

Spikedluv | 34.6K

Six months after Derek and Cora leave Beacon Hills, Stiles gets a text from Cora – they’re in trouble and need help. Turns out that Derek is being wooed by a neighboring pack. The Alpha remembers his mother fondly and would love to have a Hale in her pack. Especially if that means she might breed in the ability to change into a full wolf. And she’s not taking ‘no’ for an answer, even when Derek lies and tells her that he already has a mate.

Except Derek didn’t lie. When Stiles shows up to help with the emergency, he inadvertently discovers that he is Derek’s mate. Stiles tries not to think about it (he knows that the mate bond isn’t written in stone, just look at Scott and Allison) as he (and Lydia, and Deaton) research mates and the challenges to the mate bond (because, of course there’s a ritual for that) and try to keep the Alpha of the Palmer pack from discovering Stiles’ connection to Derek.

Throw in the monkey wrench of Peter showing up, and Stiles starting to have feelings, and Derek sometimes looking at him like … Stiles doesn’t know, but he doesn’t hate it, and things begin to get a little bit complicated.

Safe Place to Land by 

Green | 19.3K

The Hales have been tracking a group of hunters who’ve targeted small packs with the help of a magic user. When they finally attack the hunter compound, they aren’t expecting to find Stiles, a Spark who’s practically a slave, and his young werewolf son. Derek isn’t expecting the Spark to be his mate, either.

Derek is a debutante.

Stiles is a cocky party-crasher from the public high school.

Of Political Arrangements & Romantic Gifts by 

Areiton | 25.5K

The wedding of Governor Derek Hale to the beloved Prince Stiles Stilinski of Beacon is the first of its kind, after the war.
The first Alpha werewolf to marry one of the recently deposed aristocracy.
It’s for the good of their people.
It’s an arrangement, one Stiles loathes.
But as Stiles learns more about werewolves and his grumpy husband. As Derek watches his proud, clumsy prince–
Maybe an arrangement isn’t all it can be.
Maybe what’s good for the people can be exactly what both of them need.

Helpless by 

Kedreeva | 72.4K

“Hybrid mutation. Human consumption heightens senses and raises body temperature. Prolonged use may cause skin to exude a scent which seems to mesmerize werewolves, rendering them helpless. Application to a werewolf will render them to a state of suggestibility. Control may be exerted by nearby humans. Studies suggest effects last several hours.”

In which Stiles is the one affected by wolfsbane.

When Your Back’s Against the Wall

Rating: Explicit
AO3 Warnings: No Warnings Apply

Summary:


Fifteen years ago, the country of Beacon was shaken to its core when three slaves murdered most of the royal Hale family and one of the politically powerful Argents in the course of a single night.

Six years ago, Stiles Stilinski was forced to grow up fast and hard when his dying mother, herself a freed slave, left him at the head of an abolitionist revolution.

Two months ago, beloved princess-to-be Allison Argent was assassinated; three weeks ago, Stiles was caught and charged with her death.

Five hours ago, he was sentenced to serve the remaining Hales — tyrannical King Peter and reclusive Prince Derek — as a slave for the rest of his life. In a palace where the only people who may hate him more than the king are the ever-present family of the woman he’s convicted of murdering, the best he can hope for is that death will only be a few torturous years away.

Additional art for The Seven Lives of Stiles Stilinski by @glorious-spoon 

Summary: 

Stiles disturbs an abandoned temple and catches the attention of a goddess of time and fate. When he starts time-traveling involuntarily through the past, he’s not sure if she means it as a curse or a lesson–but no matter when he travels to, he always seems to end up at Derek’s side.

Stiles stared into eyes that were just a little lighter than even the day before, looking almost beta-gold in the harsh lighting.  His nose was just a little less uptilted, the moles on his face not quite where they used to be.  The scar on the bottom of his chin from when he fell off the swings in third grade was just gone.  He seemed a little bit taller, his shoulders a little bit wider.

With trembling fingers Stiles folded his left ear forward, craning his neck.  A wheezing breath escaped him, his legs suddenly feeling weak with relief.  

The mark of the Oni was still there, the one that meant self.

Stiles was still himself.  For now.

Your friends. Your family. Everyone who ever meant something to you. We’re going to destroy all of them, Stiles. One.  By.  One.

The nogitsune’s words echoed in Stiles’ head again, and he grimaced.  It wasn’t just that the nogitsune had threatened everyone Stiles loved.

It was that he had said we.
