i watched the first episode of canine intervention tonight, here’s some uncensored liveblogging featuring my spicey dog training takes:

“my dog training system is known all over the world" mhmm. lemme google this guy.

by clicking through his in person training site to his online remote training course, i found a whole lot of big red flags: "Establish pack leadership" dogs don't have pack leaders. anyone who wants to make you a leader is not using a good understanding of dog behavior "Time your praise and corrections" the times when i use corrections are when i'm the least on my game. my goal is NEVER to use corrections/positive punishment. why should i? it's concerning that he uses it as a core part of his method. "Exercise and reinforce your leadership as a way of life" more leadership bullshit.

fancy letters are not the end-all-be-all, and there are trainers i seriously respect who have none of them. but they don't talk about leadership and corrections. it's concerning that he talks about his sports team as a kid, where he went to high school, and his celebrity clients, but not his mentors and education in training.

back to the show

why does his facility have enough dogs to keep them in kennels? how does that teach aggressive dogs how to be safe in a home environment?

not all of the dogs in the first shot of a class (~1:38) have two collars on but a lot do. that's not a red flag (i worked sydney in two collars [her flat collar and a martingale, because syd was very gear smart and it was nice to tell her that we were doing heeling now]) but with what i saw on his website? it's quite likely that one of those is the dog's normal flat collar with tags, and the other is a prong, choke chain, or electric collar

also: "I help the dogs that no one else will" is a flat out lie

if you're willing to take on any human aggression cases, generally you’re willing to take on all of them. now, some of these cases may generally lead to a recommendation of euthanasia. but that's in the best interests of the dog and owner

oop class shot where it's clear that they're wearing prongs

here's two points not about this guy specifically: 1) it is hard (impossible?) to do humane, ethical dog training in a 45 minute episode slot. it's not good tv. it's slow as hell. there's no drama. the aggression trainers i know? have never been bitten. many have never been CLOSE to being bitten. no tv value. 2) the positive dog training community is OVERWHELMINGLY white and middle class.

it's also full of racists.

"Nearly a million dogs are euthanized yearly and over 40% of them are pit bulls" i've calculated that first statistic myself, but it's important to put it in context: this is USA specific, and that's down from 3-4 million 20 years ago. the second one, i would love to see his source.

he's right that it's important to understand where aggression comes from

anyway back to those two points, at the same time that it's really, really hard to do compelling TV with ethical dog trainers, it's also really REALLY important that the positive dog training community be working on being anti-racist. and it's really, really important that low income dog owners and people of color are getting good dog training.

alright first case! he's had her 3 months, 3 bites in that time. 10 attempted attacks. she's a young adult bully breed mix who had one front leg amputated after being shot. owner walks her in a muzzle which is a) too small and b) not bite proof.

"I see what we're working with" he says, after approaching a dog in her crate. hazard responds similarly to someone coming in, but he's not a bite risk. that's not a good evaluation.

he is correct about lady macbeth's motivations: this is a dog who's scared as hell and making herself really big and scary so that everyone leaves her alone.

okay he's also right that playing with her around strangers is really, really good for fear aggression

"frenzied just chaotic state" yeah no

reality check for y'all: i am not an aggression specialist and i have seen more freaked out dogs

she was on edge! she was unhappy! but holy shit was she not even remotely close to what dogs are capable of

"she just bit me!" she nipped your cheek, not breaking skin. that's a level 1 or 2 (of 6). that's not NOTHING but it's well within normal for a dog who's being restrained when she wants to be somewhere else.

[note that at no point in the episode was the owner ever given any sort of indication that lady macbeth is not this horribly aggressive Pit Bull TM. nor was there any discussion of a bite scale.]

"The only option we're gonna have is to [board and train] for 3 weeks" "I have no choice but to take her back to my facility back in San Jose and work daily with her" no!!!!!

[15 minute break]

lmao sorry i had to go yell at gf about how much this board and train is not necessary and in the process penny decided to cause Drama again

ANYWAY, the b&t is not necessary because all of those aggressive incidents bar the first could have been avoided if the owner was on the ball. this is not JUST a lady macbeth issue, this is ALSO an owner issue. both of them need to relearn how to handle new people.

as a bonus, lady macbeth needs to learn to trust her owner, which she categorically cannot do in a b&t

"The box is an important training tool to teaching new behaviors. It's also a first step in establishing pack leadership" ok this is new to me

and new is not a good thing here

text: Obedience depends on a dog's trust and respect for their pack leader calculus depends on your trust and respect for your math teacher! if you respect them a lot you will magically be able to do calc!

I WAS HOPING. I WAS TRYING.

i was HOPING that his training for her fear aggression would be based in toy play.

instead he's got a fake arm and he keeps reaching out to poke her, and the owner says "no!" and does a leash pop (leash wrapped around her neck) every time she tries to bite.

"She doesn't know it's not his hand" it smells like plastic what would she THINK it is

also funky that we're 19 minutes into the episode about an aggressive bully breed mix and the trainer's childhood bully breed mix who killed a dog, and like. not a single mention of what these dogs were bred for.

let's go back to "how are you teaching aggressive dogs to live nicely in a home, if they are spending most of the day in a wire kennel"

for shits take, high school doesn't teach you how to handle your emotions! why should obedience class teach your dog the same?

and then like, every time she breaks the down he yells NOPE and leans over her??????

dude you're scaring her into being obedient. while you're talking about how it's important to treat her fear.

text: Fear based aggression can be reduced by desensitizing the dog to strangers you're right! it sure can! THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU'RE DOING HERE

you've got a dog on her side with one hand over her, the other on a skinny check chain on her neck. every time she does anything but lay flat, the leash is popped and you say no. you are flooding this dog and creating learned helplessness.

jo summed it up well with this: he's good at seeing the behavior, he knows what he's looking at, he just can't change it. he only knows one method.

jo and i are now trying to figure out if "dog training but marie kondo not cesar milan" is a viable tv show

jas correctly stops the friend and changes how he approaches the dog, that's a good response

i'm laughing bc after a 3 week board and train which is not going to be less than $4k, he's giving the exact same "how to meet new people" directions that i would give to a similar client--at the start of our time! not at the end!

"I can't imagine imagine a dog having it too much worse than she did, the fact that she took a gunshot, the fact that she had no security for years of her life" alright dude a) think worse, this PALES to abuse cases b) let's not? shittalk? the care that people without reliable housing give to their dogs (and occasional cat!)?? because what they do for their pets is incredible, and it isn't necessarily connected to her opinions on strangers

so yeah still laughing bc like. that "happy ending" would be my first session with a client. that's how you START handling stranger danger. and for this the owner paid thousands.

Undercover Lover prt 7

Three days off suddenly were rare. A storm had rolled through Shinganshima leaving most of the city without power. Even with the back up generator at work, it was too dark to work safely, Rod forced to send them home until power was restored. Sitting in a daze on his sofa, Eren damn near jumped out of his when there was a knock on his door. Having spent the majority of the day sleeping, he’d been intending on enjoying the last of the sun light before turning back in when it got dark again... not that there was any on account of the rain.

Dragging himself off the sofa, Eren sighed as headed to the door. Unlocking the chain and turning the deadbolt, he expected it to be one of his neighbours needing help. He’d already had to help the lady down the hall when her kid accidentally locked her out her apartment. The kid too upset and too young to calm down, so he’d climbed up the fire escape and coaxed the kid through the window until finally he was let in and able to unlock the door for her. Instead, Levi stood there. The man wet from the downpour outside. Shopping bags hung from both arms

“You going to make me fucking stand here dripping filth, or are you going to let me in”

Moving aside, Levi grumbled about the “shitty fucking rain” as he slipped past, Eren closing and the locking door behind the alpha, confused as to what was happening

“Sure, come in, make yourself at home. What are you doing here?”

“Tch. You can blame Hanji. Fucked up and told her we’ve got work off on account of the weather”

“And that led to you...”

“Escaping. Besides, this place is a fucking dump”

That explained sweet fuck all. Sure, they’d talked the day after Levi’s fight. The alpha hiding bruised knuckles under his gloves, Eren scolding him that he should have iced his hands when he got home. It seemed he’d never escape being a doctor’s son

“I was planning on sleeping through the storm”

Levi had already dumped the bags of shopping on the bench, sorting through them as Eren watched on

“Tch. Tough shit. I can’t go home with Hanji on the loose. She brought way too much shit over yesterday, consider it payment for hiding me from her”

“She’s not that”

“Tell me that again in a few years time”

Eren’s heart gave a weird beat at the thought of knowing Levi years from now. It simply wasn’t going to happen. People moved on... he’d be moving on. Still, Levi was there now

“Sure. Remind me and I’ll remind you. She does know the power’s out?”

“Yep. It’s all canned shit and long life shit. Who knows what they put in that crap”

Canned food made up much of his diet. Cooking for one was never as much fun as cooking for friends and family

“Probably a lot less shit than you find in cigarettes. I still don’t know why you came here”

Levi paused, before turning to Eren, frowning heavily. Eren had never seen anyone frown as much as Levi did... it was kind refreshing to see someone so honest and not forcing a fake smile to his face because that’s what he thought was expected. Levi’s scent was also kind of refreshing... Except something was bleeding through and Eren couldn’t pinpoint what that meant

“Because I had all this and nothing to do with it. And she doesn’t have your address. If I went to Erwin’s she’d be there in a heartbeat. There’s only so many of her theories you can listen to before the urge to strangle sets in”

“Right, well, I’ve got to warn you, there’s nothing good on TV”

Levi needed a moment for that one, before a can of something was thrown at him. Eren finding himself laughing as Levi huffed

“You nearly had me for a second”

“Would I be making it worse if I said I’d been watching the same show all day”

Lobbing another can at him, Eren felt his mood lightening. Despite how grumpy on the outside Levi was, he still held a somewhat childish streak from the look of it

“You’re a brat”

“I’ve been told. Still, with the power out, there isn’t a lot to do”

“You got cards?”

“Somewhere...”

From Mikasa... for when he’d babysit his niece and nephew... They would have grown so much since he last saw them. Only God knew what Mikasa had told them about why Uncle Eren wasn’t around any more

“Good. There’s some shitty candles in here somewhere. That should be enough light to kick your arse”

“How bold of you to presume you’re going to win”

Resuming pulling items out the bags, Levi joked back

“Even bolder of you to presume I won’t. Go sit down or something, you’re too damn tall”

Dropping the two cans on the bench, Eren headed to his bedroom. All his personal shit still remained pretty much boxed up. In the kitchen Levi was bagging cupboard doors, Eren could only shake his head. He didn’t know how to handle having Levi over again, yet he couldn’t bring himself to be an unhappy about having a visitor...

Levi didn’t know what he was doing. He’d lied to Eren. He’d shown up, then lied. He couldn’t exactly tell Eren he’d shown up worried about his health given the storming weather outside. It wasn’t a complete lie. Hanji had asked him how Eren was. Levi didn’t have his number, so couldn’t just call the brat to make sure he hadn’t gone and expired from whatever stomach bug he’d seemed to be suffering from for the last two weeks. Heck. He didn’t even know what Eren actually had wrong with him, no, he just knew that the brat had been looking worse and worse since their chat and it didn’t sit right with him.

Having cleaned his apartment through, the memory of Eren’s sadly dreary apartment decided to haunt his arse. The kid was probably huddled up all sniffly, sick as a dog, with no one there to drag him to hospital if he collapsed. Technically Hanji was a trained medic, but he could hardly turn up with her on Eren’s doorstep. Gathering up a bunch of random shit out of his cupboards, the fact that Eren had met Hanji actually worked in his favour. Blame it on her and Eren would never question it.

“I’ve got Uno... and it’s pink”

Walking out his bedroom, Eren seemed to be reading the back of the box. Fucking uno not his first choice if he’d had one

“Uno comes in pink?”

“My sister bought it for when I’d baby sit my niece and neph-... never mind. It’s that or nothing”

Right. Levi vaguely remembered hearing about this “mythical sister”. Whenever Eren seemed to think he was getting too close to opening up, he’d shut right down. Levi not knowing how to deal with that given all of his friends had big fucking mouths

“So you’ve got a sister? And she’s got kids? Look at Uncle Eren now”

Eren snorted with a shake of his head

“Oh, she would not approve of this at all. But yeah... She got married at 22, then popped out Mina and Thomas while still managing a full time job”

Levi let out a whistle. Kids were a damn handful at the worst of times. His “niece” took after her mother in every way possible

“Reminds me of Izzy and Farlan. They’ve got a daughter. Farlan was paranoid he’d be the worst dad ever...”

“What about you? Any cranky Levi juniors running around?”

God. Hell no. Kids with their sticky fingers, snotty faces and no etiquette as they chewed like cows, were not his idea of fun. He knew he wasn’t the easiest person to get along with, and had yet to meet anyone he actually wanted in his life that long

“Tch. No. There’s a reason they invented condoms”

“That there is. I still feel kind of bad you came all this way. You’re still wet from the rain”

Did Eren really have to remind him? God only knew what germs clung to his damn clothes

“It’s fucking filthy. I’m stealing a shower once I’ve got this shit away”

“You can chuck your clothes through the dryer... I know I’ve got germs and all, but I’ve got clean clothes if you want to borrow something”

Levi sighed heavily at thought of the ridiculousness of him in Eren’s clothes

“One of your goddamn shirts would be a dress on me”

“So you’re used to wearing dress- stop throwing shit at me!”

Lobbing a can, Levi smacked him the shoulder. Too bad the brat couldn’t catch. Not sure if he’d actually be let in, Levi hadn’t thought to bring a change of clothes. Fuck. He’d fucked this up. His anxiety over showing up shattering his normally impassive look at the world. Eren was the first friend he’d made in a while, and the first that didn’t look down on his bare knuckle way of getting shit done. He still couldn’t quite believe he’d fucked the lanky shit, or that he’d actually enjoyed doing so. This was why tea would forever reign as the best drink in all situations

“Stop being a shit and I won’t keep throwing things at you”

Throwing a hand up, Eren getting cranky brought a certain delight with it

“This is my apartment!”

“I’ve seen turds with more street appeal than this place. No wonder you’ve looked so sick lately”

He’d crossed a line. Eren visibly tensing. Shit. Fuck. Even his alpha was shaking its head at him, telling him gone and shot himself in the foot. Eren’s voice several degrees colder as he asked

“Is that why you’re really here?”

“I already told you, Shitty Hanji forced this on me. Besides, if you up and die, who’s going to work all the over time at the garage?”

Eren seemed guarded, though his posture did relax marginally, voice still colder than before as he fidgeted with the Uno box

“You know... actually. No. I don’t particularly feel like going into this. I’m fine. Not going to drop dead anytime soon”

That was deserved. Levi didn’t have a right to be prying. He didn’t know why he was... or what was it about the brat that drew him in. He’d been through so much shit and knew from personal experience that getting close to people would only end badly. How he managed to still have friends was beyond him

“That’s good to know. Light some candles already, it’s dark as fuck in here”

Eren sighed heavily, shaking his head at whatever thought had popped into his brain

“Yes, sir”

That was another goddamn thing about Eren. Every time he called him “Sir”, Levi’s alpha felt a sense of pride. Having had his alpha so long, and having been called “Sir” many a time, the pride aspect should have worn off. Eren never failed to rile it back when being a cheeky shit. Rod’s warning hadn’t left his head, but Levi seemed to be pulled towards the brat in a way that made him doubt there was any kernel of truth in the other alpha’s words. He hardly would have turned up there if he really believed Eren capable of murder. His own self preservation instincts would have kicked in had his alpha felt the fellow alpha a threat. And, honestly, what kind of dark killer had pink Uno cards?!

Don't have one as I don't really care for it. Do you have sensitive teeth? Yes. Does it bother you to get shots in the mouth? Does it hurt? Nah. And I mean at the dentist they numb you, so not really. When did you last talk seriously with one of your parents? I have no clue. Does anyone ever say they miss you often? Sara. I mean we talk all the time, but she means like, physically being there. Would you rather become a wizard or a vampire, if you had the choice? Idk. I like vampires more, but a wizard sounds funner. Have you already moved out of your parents’ house? I've talked about the apartment situation enough. Are your parents divorced, married or separated? Divorced.

I only live with my mom. Is there a television show out there that you never miss? No. What movie have you seen too many times to be healthy? Ha ha, The Lion King I & 2 and Finding Nemo. What is your biggest responsibility in your household? Take care of my pets. How cold did it get where you live, last winter? Idr. Very, for NC anyway. Do you ever wonder what your exes are doing?

No. Are you sober at the time being? Yeah. Have you ever lied to someone & said they could sing when they couldn’t? Possibly? Are you more tolerant of hot or cold weather? Describe a time when you were extremely cold? Describe a time when you were extremely over-heated? I handle the cold far, FAR better. I physically cannot last very long in like, even 80 degrees. The coldest I've probably ever been was when Sara and I were walking once up at her house and it was really windy. I think the absolute most over-heated I've been was when I was taking bridal shots of my sister's friend outside in the summer for a long long time. I was nearly to the point of tears and was absolutely soaked in sweat. When we got back in the car, I literally finished at least three water bottles in a very short period of time. I think I even downed half of another. What was something weird that you did as a child? Did anyone make fun of you for it? Were there any other children you knew who did the same thing? I actually created this trend in elementary school of digging tunnels in the sandbox with my hands because I wanted to feel like a meerkat, lol. No one made fun of me, I think? And as stated it kinda became a thing, so yeah, there were others. What has been the hardest thing about growing up? What was the easiest thing about it? Was there ever a time when you wanted to stay young forever? Was there ever a time when you wished that you could be older? Accepting my mental illnesses was by far the hardest. Easiest, uh... idk. Enjoying more freedom? There was definitely a time I wanted to be a kid forever; I remember I criiiied when I got my period for the first time because I didn't feel like one anymore. Simultaneously, there were certainly times I wanted to be older. Who was the last person you yelled at? Do you often yell at this person? Are you on good terms with them again, or are you still upset with them? I practically roared at Mom for pulling the rudest shit on me like a month or so back. I definitely don't yell at her a lot. We're on good terms now, yeah. If you work, do you get along with your coworkers? Which one of them have you known the longest? Is your current place of work somewhere that you plan to stay for a long time? Sadly no, so these questions are N/A. Name three items that have much sentimental value to you. Who gave you these items, and for what occasion? Do you ever have a harder time throwing away things that people have given you? My pebble from Holly Hill, my childhood plush moose Brownie that I got in Ohio, and the stuffed meerkat Jason gave me. It's not really because of it being from him, but rather because it comforted me deeply after the break-up. The little guy is so worn from all the love I gave it. I do have a hard time getting rid of things people give me. Who do you speak with more often: your online friends, or those that you see face-to-face? Of which type of friend do you have more? Which of those friendships do you value the most? Online to all three questions. Are you often misunderstood, or do you think that people can get where you are coming from pretty well? Do you think that you have a good ability to understand others? If yes, explain? Eh, idk, really. I feel like I don't communicate how I feel well enough, but I think people understand me decently. Most, anyway. I know I'm pretty good and relating to people. When was the last time that you had a headache? What did you do, if anything, to help it feel better? Which is worse for you: headaches or stomach aches? As previously mentioned, last night. I took medicine, but it was sleep that actually helped. AND I CANNOT DEAL WITH STOMACH ACHES. Gimme a headache over that shit any day. Have you ever had a crush on someone you met online? If yes, what happened between you and that person? Do you think that online relationships are legitimate relationships? Yes, and we're dating now lol. And of course I do!! Out of all of your past friendships and romantic relationships, which one was the worst? If that person were to show up at your place, would you be willing to talk to them? Friendship: Colleen. No, I wouldn't talk to her. Romantic: Tyler, but I mean sure, I'd talk to him. Well, Jason was the traumatic one, but the *relationship*, on my end, was a fairytale. It was the breakup that was... yeah, y'all know. Yeah, I'd be willing to talk to him, but quite honestly I'd probably end up collapsing into a sobbing heap because yeah PTSD. If any, how many friends have you made in the past year? How many have you lost? Is making friends something at which you are good, or does it take you awhile to form friendships? I've made a couple friends online, and I lost none, I think anyway. I can be someone's friend very easily, but it's the trust that really takes a while. If you are 18 or older, did reaching your 18th birthday make you feel like you were an adult? If not, what moment (or moments) made you feel like you were finally maturing? I don't remember, honestly. As a kid, did your parents force you to eat everything on your plate? If you had them, how did you feel about family meal times? If you were to have children, would you have structured meals with them? Well, Mom tried, but my picky ass usually won, lol. Some days I miss family dinners, other days I'm glad to do my own thing. If I were to have kids, I'd probably want to have family dinners, really. What was the last new thing that you tried? What is something you did a long time ago that you might like to do again? I don't know. I don't try new things often. From my past... I dunno. It's too late to think of all this stuff. What is your least favorite part about going to the doctor? What about going to the dentist? Which of those people would you rather see? THE GODDAMN WAIT. My dentist is usually pretty quick, so that's not typically a problem there. Instead, I fucking hate when I have to get x-rays done because I have a very small mouth, and the things they stick in your cheeks to bite down on are always way too big for me. I have to use a size down from adults. Do you ever take care of anyone younger than you (ie. babysitting, watching a younger sibling, etc)? Do you like doing this, or does it get to be a hassle? No, and hell no.

Love Isn’t Just a Walk in the Park Pt. 3

It has been brought to my attention that I included something in the last part (part two) that can be severely bad for dogs. Please be sure to wait at least an hour after feeding your dog before exercising them. Failure to do so can cause bloat or torsion, especially in bigger dogs, both of which are extremely painful and can often lead to death.

Please remember that I’m not a trained vet, nor have I ever worked with animals. As such, I might accidentally put something in here that’s bad for animals, like the exercising thing. Please let me know if this is the case, and I’ll be sure to spread the knowledge so we can keep our pets safe.

Part 1 Part 2

On a definitely less important note, someone asked me if I would be putting this fic on AO3. As of this moment, I don’t actually have an account on AO3, mostly because I never thought I would end up writing enough to bother getting one. That might change in the future, but as of now this fic, and all other fics, will only be posted on this blog. I’ll keep you guys updated on that if anything changes.

And then just one last note and I’ll be done. I’m really sorry this took so long to get out. My life kind of imploded after I posted part two, so this installment has been slow going. Hopefully the next one will come out faster! (also, I have a ko-fi now, if anyone was interested)

Pairing(s): Sidney Crosby/Evgeni Malkin

The day after that morning is a Wednesday, so Geno spends it laying in bed on his almost comically large heating pad because even taking it slow, freight is always murder on his back. Angela and Sara help where they can, but he’s really the strongest and tallest of the three, so he ends up doing the heavy lifting.

He takes a prescription strength ibuprofen with his breakfast and props himself up on pillows with his heating pad set on high. Then he spends as much of the day as he possibly can in that spot. His laptop is in his lap for most of it, and the tv is on, but he’s not really paying attention to it. He enjoys the background noise, and his tutor says it’s supposed to be helpful with his English.

He clears out his inbox. Mostly, it’s spam from companies that make animal products wanting him to put their products in his shelter. He deletes most of them, but keeps the ones he’s actually heard of to review at a later time.

There’s one from his brother. Since long international phone calls are hell on their phone bills, this is how they keep up with the mundane details of daily life. At the end of the email, his brother asks when he’ll be able to take some time off and either come for a visit or have some visitors. Geno makes a note to check his calendar, and fills his brother in on the little things going on in his own life.

And unsurprising but definitely unwanted are emails from different teams on the Russian league about becoming a coach. He doesn’t even read these, just deletes them with extreme prejudice and continues clearing his inbox. He clears it once a week and is always unpleasantly surprised with how full it can become in such a short time.

And then Geno sees an email he would never have expected to see. He clicks on it, and reads through it, and is still not sure it’s real. Because sitting there in his inbox is an email from the front office of the Pittsburgh Penguins organization, inviting him to bring some of his animals for the annual Pens & Paws photo shoot. He blinks at it for a moment longer, but ultimately decides the best step forward would be to ask Sidney about it the next morning. He flags the email and continues on with clearing his inbox.

The next morning, Geno’s back feels much better. He does some of the stretches his physical therapist suggested for times when he overdoes it, and is sure to grab some extra heat packs on his way out the door. He has an uneventful drive to the shelter, and actually manages to be a few minutes early.

He goes through the usual pre-opening checklist, then sets a pot of coffee percolating and waits for Sidney to come in. The door opens to said man a few minutes later. They exchange a few pleasantries, and then Sidney is on his way.

Geno gives the animals in the shelter food while Sidney is gone, making sure to put a bowl in the pen of the little boxer mix that Sidney decided to take. Then Geno begins the tedious process of filling out the seemingly neverending pile of paperwork that owning a business generates.

When Sidney comes back into the shop, sweating and flushed, Geno takes a second to memorize the look before he moves. He’s given in to the fact that he finds the man attractive, and has decided to let himself appreciate how he looks, as long as he doesn’t make it weird.

“Good run?” Geno asks. Sidney gives him a smile.

“Yeah, this little one has a lot of energy.”

“Copper is always playing. Happiest dog,” Geno agrees as he holds a water bottle out for Sidney. He accepts it, then drinks down nearly half of the bottle, head tipped back and throat exposed. Geno swallows and looks away to the dog, petting him as he pants and wags his tail.

“Ready for picture?” Geno asks once Sidney finishes his bottle.

“Yeah, definitely.”

“After post, have a question for you,” Geno says.

“All right,” Sidney agrees as they make their way outside. Geno again takes a few pictures, and chooses the one he thinks is the best: Copper looking up at Sidney like he’s the sun, and Sidney looking down at Copper with fond adoration. Sidney helps him work out the phrasing of the tweet, and then it’s sent and Copper is back in his pen where he happily laps up water and eats his breakfast.

“You said you had a question for me?” Sidney asks.

“Yes. Got email from someone who says they are Penguins front office. Invite my shelter to bring dogs for calendar photoshoot?” He pulls up the email on the front computer, then turns the screen so Sidney can read it.

“Oh,” Sidney says, then seems to skim the email. “Yeah, I mentioned your shelter to one of the people who organize our fundraising events because one of our usual shelters couldn’t do it this year. Is that okay?” He asks, his eyebrows drawn together in concern.

“Is fine,” Geno says. “Wanted to make sure it wasn’t fake.”

“It definitely isn’t fake,” Sidney says with the grin Geno’s found he uses when he finds something funny. They stand in silence for a moment, looking into each other’s eyes, before Sidney breaks the silence. “Was that...all you wanted to ask?”

“Um, yes,” Geno says, resisting the urge to ask Sidney something he’d definitely say no to, like out on a date. “Will reply to the email, say yes, show off more of best dogs.”

“Yeah, that sounds good,” Sidney says. He’s still smiling, and Geno tells himself he’s imaging that Sidney looks a little disappointed. “I’ll probably see you before then, so feel free to ask me any questions you might have.”

“Yes, have whole list of questions for you next time I see you,” Geno promises.

They bid each other goodbye, and Geno watches Sidney walk until he’s no longer in view.

Now that Geno knows the email is legitimate, he quickly types up a reply before saving it in his drafts for Sara to look over when she comes in later. He spends the rest of the day making a list of the dogs and cats he thinks might be okay with the trip and all of the attention, as well as will also be the best behaved.

When he’s closing the shelter, he finds himself almost looking forward to working the next morning before he remembers he’s not scheduled. Sara’s got the next open, and Angela sent him a text saying she’d managed to finish her project and was ready to get back to work.

Geno gnaws on his lip as disappointment wells up in his chest before he viciously shoves it down. He knows he doesn’t have a chance with someone like Sidney Crosby, face of a franchise and probably straight on top of it. And even if he wasn’t, no one wants to be the first out player in such an old-fashioned organization. And Geno could never go back into the closet, not even for someone like Sidney.

He takes the scenic way home to clear his head, and reminds himself to send a list of questions to Sara so she can ask Sidney in the morning and be the official responder to the emails from the Penguins front office.

It’s better this way, he tells himself. It’s only been two days. It’ll be good to get back to his normal schedule.

He’s almost convinced himself when he goes to bed that night.

#sidgeno #sidney crosby #evgeni malkin #I accidentally angsted?#I'm so sorry #I promise this all ends happily #and hey more penguins and pets next installment probably #and also theoretically the next installment will include a picture of Sidney with a dog #maybe even Geno if I can figure it out

GET TO KNOW MY CHARACTER THROUGH AN ASK!

🍰 - What is their favorite type of dessert or sweet? Feferi hates sweets. 🐢 - What type of animal would they keep for a pet? She keeps two dogs and a sea serpent. She would only take in other domesticated animals, though she has fostered sea animals to restore their health before returning them to the sea. 🐙 - They are crossing the ocean. What are the circumstances and how did they get there? She flew. Private jet of course, with vibrating massage chairs for her wife. 🌎 - If money were no object, where would they live and what would they do with their life? (Ex: entrepreneur, playboy, philanthropist, etc) Money isn’t an object. She’d live exactly as she does now. 🎂 - Do they celebrate their birthday? Yes! She adores the attention, and while she can afford anything she wants, she won’t shy away from receiving gifts. 🎓 - Are they well-educated? In terms of formal schooling, no. She dropped out of her junior year in high school and hasn’t been back to school since. She is self-taught in a wide variety of sciences, including biology, marine biology, zoology, epidemiology, pathology, botany, oceanography, ecology, and many many more. She’s also very knowledgeable about law, finances, political science and business 📬 - A mysterious letter has just been found in their mailbox. How does your character react? Who would it be from? She’d be excited! She loves surprises. It’s unclear who would send her a letter. It might be one of her fans...or stalkers. ⌚ - Is your character punctual or procrastinator? Very punctual. 💰 - Your character just found a fat sack of gold on a bench. What do they do with it? She’d leave it. She has enough money of her own, but she also won’t contact the authorities about it. She may leave a note indicating it to be dangerous, so only the rightful owner would take it up. 👙 - Is your character trendy or do they just not give a damn? She’s very trendy. Adhering to trends is part of her job, and it helps her stand out less. 🎠 - Your character is at the carnival. What kinds of rides or games do they check out to entertain themselves? Feferi’s hasn’t stepped foot in a carnival since she met Zi. She misses them dearly though, and she’d go absolutely mad with joy if she were allowed to go to one again. She’d do every single thing, but first she’d find herself a clown to make her giggle. 🔮 - Your character is having their future told by someone pretty shady. Do they call the fortune teller out or just roll with it? Call them out. Even if they were legit, she doesn’t believe in anything, and thinks people who claim to tell the future are full of shit. 🎃 - What is your character’s favorite holiday? Christmas! It’s the only day Meenah talks to her. 🎶 - What would your character say about your personal taste in music? ”W)(ere t)(e fuck’s t)(e speed metal, you )(ipster-got)( beac)(?!” 💒 - Does your character want marriage or a lifelong commitment? Both. ♓ - Hey baby, what’s your sign? What would your character’s zodiac sign be and what qualities do they carry to make them fall under that sign? Despite her symbol, she’s a Cancer. 🚼 - Does your character have or want kids? No, and hell no. ⚠ - What has your character almost done that made someone talk them out of or convince them not to do it? Her wife’s managed to talk her down every time she wanted to attempt suicide or homicide. She’s very good at it. ♿ - Is your character in some way handicapped? (This includes physical, emotional, and mental.) Emotionally, in a way. Due to years of suppressing her thoughts and feelings, Feferi suffers from an acute range of sociopathic symptoms. She feels no empathy or fear, and doesn’t understand heightened emotion. She can mimic emotion very well, and often comes across very sympathetic and cheery, but she doesn’t feel much. Before she met Gamzius, she didn’t even feel love. She’s learning to feel again with the help of her wife, and she’s slowly coming around, but she’s got a long way to go. 💊 - Is your character on medication? If so, why? No. She refuses to see any doctors, even psychiatric doctors. She can heal herself, and her wife can do the rest. 🌞🌜 - Is your character an early bird or night owl? What makes them that way? Early bird. The more she’s awake, the less time she has to do nothing. The less time she has to do nothing, the less she has to think. 📚 - Does your character read? All the time! 📓 - If your character keeps a journal, what is the most secret thought they keep in it? She only keeps a scientific journal. It has all the details of every experiment she’s performed. 📰 - An obituary for your character was found in the local paper this morning. What did it say? ”First Troll Model Feferi Peixes has died” or some other generic obit for a celebrity. if her timeline wrote it though, it would be “local bitch got just what she deserved” 💢 - What frustrates your character more than anything? Prejudice. ✌ - Your character just made a trespass against someone else, how would they go about righting it given the chance? Or would they at all? It depends on who the person is. If it were someone she didn’t like, didn’t care for, or someone who wronged her in the past, she’d tell them to get over it and leave it at that. If anyone else, she’ll make a point of apologizing profusely. Her actions mean little to her, but she’d prefer maintaining her reputation as a nice and courteous person. 🍴 - What is the absolute worst meal your character has ever eaten? Were they verbal about it or did they just not say anything? She believes anyone’s cooking that’s not her own is subpar, but she’s always very kind about it. 🍜 - Carnivore/Pescatarian/Vegetarian/Vegan/Other? What kind of diet does your character have? Carnivore. She eats raw seafood as a day-to-day, but she will indulge in other meats when going out. As her teeth were only made for tearing flesh, it’s hard for her to eat much else. 💋 - Your character was just kissed by someone they can’t stand. Why and how did it happen? Someone may have interpreted her snide remarks and sly jabs a pitch flirting, and seeing as she never says no to a relationship, they probably decided to go in for the kill. 😇 - What was your character’s last good deed? She just donated a large sum of money to one of her favourite charities. 😁 - Someone just tripped and fell in front of your character. Do they laugh or help the person up? Help them up, unless it’s someone who wronged her. Then she’d let out a catty little giggle and purposefully step over them to walk past them. 😨 - Your character just broke wind in public. Do they try to hide it or own up to it? In the past, she may have hidden it, but thanks to her wife’s influence, she’d own up to it. 😍 - Your character’s lust object just passed right by them. How awkward do they get as they try to make conversation? She’s very cool and collected around her crushes. It’s only when they get flirty with her does she get flustered. 😒 - “Ugh! Not him/her/them/it again.” How does your character react to annoying people? Ignore, walk away, give the cold shoulder, and/or snub. 😂 - Your character is moved to tears. What’s a kindness that another showed to them? Seeing her for who she truly is and loving her anyway. 😄 - What has ever made your character laugh so hard that they almost passed out? As she’s easily amused, there are countless things that make Feferi laugh that hard. 😈 - What’s your character’s favorite cuss word? Just a good ol’ fashion, regular “fuck” word. 😏 - Is your character having a dirty thought right now? When does she not? 🍺 - Cheers! What is your character’s favorite alcoholic beverage? What was the last thing they got smashed off of? She used to love vodka before her wife got her to stop drinking. 💫 - Your character is suffering memory loss after being knocked unconscious. What happens afterwards and how did it happen? It would be next to impossible for that to happen save for a magic anon. Her powers would counter any physical trauma she might’ve suffered, and her mental barriers keep magical powers from affecting her mind. If a magic anon were to grant her amnesia, her reaction would depend on how far back she went. If she were to go back to the peak of her adolescence, you’d get a snide, mean girl who didn’t care who she hurt. If you were to go back to her as a ghost, you’d get her happiest, most authentic self. If you were to go back to her during Sgrub, you’d pretty much get a canon Feferi. If you were to go back to before the game, you’d get shut-in little Momma’s girl with big dreams and no stakes in reality. 💡 - What is the best idea your character ever had? Deciding to support herself instead of having Roxy do it for her. 💍 - Does your character wear any type of jewelry? She wears a small set of pearl earrings, the half-eaten Ring Pop her wife used to propose to her on a necklace, and a diamond wedding ring with teal topaz and pink tourmaline in the shape of her and her wife’s respective signs as embellishments. ⛪ - Is your character religious or spiritual in anyway? Absolutely not. 🎱 - Your character and a talking raccoon walk into a bar… She’d talk to the raccoon like any other person. She’s been friends with weirder. 📼 - An interrogation tape emerges regarding a recent interview with your character. What are they being questioned for? It might be for a magazine article, or a police interrogation. 50/50 chance. 👟 - Is your character into personal fitness? If so, what’s their exercise routine? Yes! She exercises for 3 hours everyday. She swims 380 laps in her personal pool, performs cardio, strength training and yoga. 📺 - What would your character’s favorite TV show be? What’s their favorite genre? Spongebob Squarepants. She doesn’t have a favourite genre. Only Spongebob. 🍀 - Does your character carry a good luck charm? Do they believe in luck? No, and no. Luck is fake to her and people who believe in it are fools in her eyes.

Look at these dweebs with these yellow outfits and mullety, spiky hair. How young and innocent. I think this is from March 2006, about five months after debut, so their ages range from 18-22 in this. I’m going to helpfully use it to introduce them to you! It’s a long post, but there’re a lot of members; bear with me.

1) Yesung (Kim Jonghoon). Best singer in the group, at least for the first several years. Has not been taking care of his voice, got vocal cord nodules, got them fixed, didn’t improve his technique afterward so is probably going to get them again. Known for doing his “octopus dance” whenever he is prompted to dance solo. Says that Super Junior is not actually friends, but they succeed as a group because they have good working relationships with one another. This is patently not a statement blanketly applicable to everyone else in the group.

2) Kim Ryeowook. Currently #2 best singer in the group according to your writer. Maknae, if you can still call him that, now that he’s 30. Is a tiny elfin little man who wears comically high lifts in his shoes. Tends to generally strike me as “your weird little brother,” and in defiance of his general image, has a history of performing the most “adult” solo songs in Super Junior concerts. Is possibly the least successful member of the group at looking or acting “tough” and “hard.” He is currently in the military (all South Korean men are required to complete around two years of military service at some point).

3) Kangin (Kim Youngwoon). Singer with a voice that’s consistent but not too exciting, kind of like the person you see at work every day who greets you in the exact same way each time. Probably the most successful member of the group at looking and acting “tough” and “hard”. Got in an actual bar fight in self-defense and has two DUIs. After the first one, they sent him to the military; after the second one, he’s on what seems to be perpetual hiatus. Not sure if they are ever going to let him participate again. I have mixed motherly feelings about whether he should ever be allowed to.

4) Lee Sungmin. Singer and sometime featured dancer. The cute chipmunky one who does lots of Chinese varieties of martial arts, and also the only one who is married. Despite being the most traditionally “cute” one, he’s struck me for some time as the most serious member. Some part of the fanbase is mad at him for being married, and for blatantly prioritizing himself and his fiancé/wife over ELF. Even his mom thinks he deserves it. Could he have been more sensitive about it, almost definitely, but does it merit ELF insisting that he not be allowed to participate in anything, and SJ/SM bowing their heads and acquiescing? Iiii don’t really think so. Do these things happen because SM thinks the hardcore semi-aggressive Korean fans (#notallKoreanfans) are all that remain or all that matter, and if they leave, there will be nothing left? You have lots of international fans who are much more chill, you maroons.

5) Kim Heechul. Singer and occasional rapper. Does not normally have hair this spiky. Is well known for running his mouth on TV, on all of the TV actually, and for looking like a girl. He doesn’t really do the girl bit much anymore and sanded off some of the rougher edges of his personality after coming back from the military, probably because being in the military gave him enough free time to grow up a bit. Basically went from “asshole” to “jerk with heart of gold”. Has several cats, loves Anna from Frozen, and is friends with lots of women in Kpop. Had a nasty car crash in 2006 that shattered his left leg, and it never healed quite right; dance routines are hell on it and he’s admitted that it’s caused him significant worry and shame as Super Junior prepares for their latest comeback. My second-place bias.

6) Leeteuk (Park Jeongsu). The oldest member and leader of the group; better at dancing than at singing. (tw: violent crime) Publicly struggles with depression, and this terrible thing that happened didn’t really help. Is a strong big brother who really works hard to make sure the group functions as one. Is simultaneously someone who has a tendency to say sexist crap.

7) Eunhyuk (Lee Hyukjae). Lead dancer and lead rapper. Bestest of the best friends with Donghae. Has the gawkiest face and compensates for this by doing the sexiest dances. Was acting leader of the group while Leeteuk was in the military, which coincided with a huge argument in the fandom about Zhou Mi and Henry, and he ended up having to make a statement about it at a concert, and then later when Leeteuk was back, Eunhyuk did an angry solo song and dance in the next tour about how fake fans would never understand him. I’m sure that wasn’t related at all!

8) Shindong (Shin Donghee). Secondary dancer and rapper, and occasional SJ music video director. Does a lot of hosting on TV in his spare time and was a comedian before joining SJ. Is the “fat one” of the group, and has therefore participated in many, many embarrassing fat jokes. Not embarrassing that he’s fat, just embarrassing for whoever had the idea, that they kept putting him in those situations. His weight has seesawed around for the last several years, but he says fat girls are gross, so that pretty much makes him an ass. Don’t be an ass.

9) Kim Kibum. Rapper and maknae. Went on hiatus in 2009 to focus on his acting career, and never came back. To be honest, probably the member of SJ that I feel the least about, because even prior to 2009 he was not a super-active member of the group musically; he didn’t feature much on songs, and he wasn’t in any of the subunits. His contract expired with SM in 2015, and therefore I don’t technically count him as a Super Junior member anymore. He has a surprisingly beefy neck in some videos, and had better English skills than probably anyone else in the group while he was still active as a member.

10) Han Geng. Former lead dancer. The only non-Korean member of the original 12, he is actually trained in 56 traditional Chinese dances. His Korean speaking skills were notoriously bad, which made it awkward every time they went on variety shows. Was visibly a lot more comfortable on Chinese TV. Eventually SM worked him so hard that he developed kidney problems, so in 2009 he sued SM, broke his contract, and went back to China, where he went on to have a successful acting and performing career. If this sounds familiar, then I’ll mention that I think EXO was originally intended to be a reboot of Super Junior, which makes it ironic that they had the same issues.

11) Choi Siwon. The “face” of the group. Probably the most famous member of the group to Western audiences, as he has appeared in a Jackie Chan movie! and got killed in it! Has a lovely chiseled masculine face and is rather tall and has many abs. Does more acting than any of the other members, to the extent that he sometimes does not appear in the dance portions of music videos because he didn’t have time to learn the routine. Always tours with Super Junior though and is as committed as everyone else. Also is super-mega-evangelical Christian and says he wants to be a missionary when Super Junior retires. Recently went through this scandal regarding his dog, in which I mostly want to shake Siwon by the shoulders and yell at him a lot. Is not on hiatus per se, but is skipping promotions for the new album.

12) Lee Donghae. Singer, dancer, occasional rapper, and bestest of the best friends with Eunhyuk. Known for acting like kind of a dope, and also for looking a lot like Amber from f(x), or vice versa. Lots of people ship Eunhyuk and Donghae because they are so close, and they ended up having to adamantly refute it on Chinese TV when the presenters started teasing them. Third-place bias because look at that faaaaace.

But that is not of course everyone, because that’s only 12.

13) Cho Kyuhyun. #1 best singer and #1 best bias thank you. Joined the group in 2006, because he had already been set to “rotate in” before SM decided to scrap the rotation concept altogether. “Evil maknae” because he likes to give the older members shit. I’ve seen subtitles of Korean shows call him “pessimistic;” I think “grouchy” might be a better word for it. Was involved in a terrible car crash in 2007, along with Shindong, Leeteuk, Eunhyuk, and Heechul; Kyuhyun nearly died and his voice was only spared because his father spoke up for him. He spent most of 2015-2016 promoting his technically-great-but-also-really-corny-and-boring ballad EPs (I hate that anyone even had the idea for this concert series) and I suspect he was getting burned out much like Heechul was; Kyuhyun is in the military now and I’m optimistic that he’ll come back refreshed. I wrote a much longer thing about him, which you can read here if you’d like. Suffice it to say, I identify with him a lot.

14 & 15) Zhou Mi & Henry Lau. Listed together even though obviously they are separate people, because they are the two controversial members of the group. This is because they were added in specifically for the Super Junior-M subunit, and ever since that day there has been much dispute about whether they are “real Super Junior members” or not. I think they are; SM-via-Eunhyuk says officially they are not, and for the sake of not ranting for paragraphs, that’s all I will say. Henry is Chinese-Canadian, can play pretty much every single instrument, and complained loudly enough about SM giving him nothing to do that SM gave him four singles in five months of 2017. He’s also best friends with Amber from f(x) and they’ve appeared together on songs. Zhou Mi is Chinese, is taller than Siwon, and is a sparkly sugarbun of cuteness with a gorgeous smile. Seriously, his legs are like six feet long on their own.

Now that we’ve gotten who’s who out of the way, we can move on to what Super Junior has to offer!

December 4-31, 2016

So I got caught up in the holidays, Real Life™ things, and so on, and now I'm super behind on posting this. Oops. Anyway, here goes a very long list, which covers most of December. :) This is a compilation of fics that I've read/re-read over the past weeks. Faves get a star ( ★ ). There is also a separate fic rec page for my favorites HERE. ♥

WEEK: December 4-31, 2016 | (previous weeks)

▶▶ A Certain Romance by Vendelin Teen And Up | 2,967w Stiles is in college and has heard a lot of things about Derek Hale, without actually meeting him. Well, that's until he does of course, and Derek seems to be everything Stiles assumed he was, and yet not at all.

▶▶ A Crown of Mistletoes and Laughter by howl-to-the-wind (greenleaf) ★ Teen And Up | 3,538w Stiles had been content to work towards studying to become a Druid and taking up his parents’ mantle as the ambassador for and guardian of the Hale Kingdom's South Border. He thought his life was set. But then, Derek and his children happened in his life.

▶▶ A Pirate's Life For Me by Hepzheba Explicit | 42,609w The Sheriff's department of Beacon Hills is finally getting a K-9 unit. Stiles is thrilled. Well, he would have been if he had remembered that they were starting today. He wishes someone had reminded him. He also wishes someone had informed him that his new colleague and the one who's going to help them start the K9 unit is smokin' hot. Or that is new partner in form of a dog kind of lives to disobey him. If this doesn’t work out he hopes his dad will write him a letter of recommendation to a department somewhere in Alaska. There are no real pirates in this story.

▶▶ A Slight Problem by kaistrex (weishen) General | 5,839w The Hale family dog takes a shine to seven-year-old Stiles.

▶▶ A Wolf in My Bed, A Man in My Heart by sterekanigans Teen And Up | 7,332w It's not everyday that you adopt a pet wolf, but for Stiles, newly crowned King, perhaps it is exactly what he needs.

▶▶ Absence Makes the Holes Grow Wider by batwynn ★ N/A | 4,928w Stiles breathes in deeply, and watches a seagull silently drift above him. The cold air is sharp in his chest, but it feels like freedom and the right choice. He breathes out and it doesn't hurt anymore. Yeah, he made the right choice.

▶▶ Adventures and Explorations Series [1] A Simple Life by Survivah Teen And Up | 13,763w Derek plans to spend the rest of his life holed up in the woods after Laura dies. Then he meets a stubborn young fox, and the stubborn young fox meets an urn of Deaton's magic powder, and his plans change [2] Finding Miracles by Survivah Mature | 16,581w Stiles was planning on just being a fox for his entire life. Then, well, magic, true love, blah blah blah, things got complicated. But as it turns out, he still has a lot to learn about this new world he's living in. Humanity, man. It's weird.

▶▶ All I Want (Wrapped and Unwrapped) by fauvistfly Mature | 2,098w 5 times Stiles gets a pretty good idea of how well-endowed Derek is +1 time he gets to see it in all its glory. Also included: excessive holiday puns, embarrassing amounts of blushing, and lots and lots of dick thoughts.

▶▶ Always Had the Key by Omni ★ Teen And Up | 3,304w Years after Derek's left Beacon Hills, he runs into Stiles at a conference for werewolves and their emissaries. While they both have changed a lot, some things still remain the same.

▶▶ Ash Buried Under Snow by Kitty_KatAllie Teen And Up | 5,879w Stiles Stilinski, aged 19, has been raised by the Argent family since his twelfth year. While he may not be the worst Hunter to ever Hunt, he has a few secrets (and quirks) that keep him from truly fitting into the life of his adoptive family. He's great at faking till he makes it, that is until the day a new Hunt is named just in time for Christmas... and it's the same name as the one written onto his body. And soul.

▶▶ But Then What... by Stoney [Note: Restricted. AO3 account is required.] Explicit | 24,343w Senior year is almost over, and all Stiles needs to do is keep his head down to survive. A teacher calls in a favor, leaving him stuck tutoring Derek Hale, one of the most popular jocks in school and a member of a group of douchecanoes who have bullied Stiles for years. He's someone Stiles totally hates. Totally. Like, doesn't like him even a little bit. DEFINITELY isn't attracted to him. Except that is a total lie. Fuck his life, seriously.

▶▶ Cornerstone by Vendelin Explicit | 83,738w Suffering from PTSD, ex-Marine Derek Hale moves back to Beacon Hills to open a bookshop and find a calmer life. That’s where he meets Stiles, completely by accident. Stiles is talkative, charming and curious. Somehow, despite the fact that he’s blind, he’s able to read Derek like no one else.

▶▶ fancy meeting you here by bibliosexual Teen And Up | 1,870w Instead of the kind of mass dance party in a dark, sweaty basement he’d been expecting, he was faced with a handful of people sitting around on the floor of Erica’s living room in T-shirts and jeans (and the one guy in the Captain America suit), eating pizza off paper plates and playing Cards Against Humanity. An iPod dock by the door was belting out ""Hooked on a Feeling.” There were a few red and black balloons floating in a corner, and a snack table against the wall laden with pizza boxes and chips and dip. It felt pretty much exactly like all the parties Stiles had ever been to in high school. Except that those parties had never featured a (hot) guy who looked up when Stiles came in and raked curious, appreciative eyes down Stiles’ body before meeting his eyes, smirking, and going back to studying his cards. Holy shit.

▶▶ First Comes Love by MelodramaticSalad Teen And Up | 5,316w Laura ropes Derek into taking his six year old daughter on a play date. She meets Stiles' son and the play date quickly changes everyone's lives for the better.

▶▶ For Goodness Cakes by yodasyoyo Teen And Up | 3,462w Stiles eats a lot of cake. Derek's communication skills are lacking. And they bitch and snark their way to a happy ending.

▶▶ Future Dreams by littlefrog1025 Explicit | 74,773w Stiles accidentally summons he and Derek's children from the future to the present.

▶▶ Gonna Write a Classic by jezziejay Mature | 6,067w The sexploits that Stiles writes about aren’t autobiographical. There’s never been anything overtly salacious about his own sexlife, nothing that was ever going to be screenplayed for a porno, but he still has a very creative imagination to work with. Usually.

▶▶ guess who by haleofStilesheart General | 4,140w The annual Christmas office party at Hale and Associates Law Firm was one of Stiles’ favorite times of the year.

▶▶ Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by mikkimouse Teen And Up | 1,123w Prompt: "You're in the hospital for the holidays so I came in while you were sleeping to decorate your room I love you Merry Christmas."

▶▶ hope is the thing with feathers by ShanaStoryteller Teen And Up | 28,959w Stiles is ten when he saves the Hales from their burning home and Derek from a wolfsbane bullet, and this establishes a pattern that seem to continue indefinitely.

▶▶ Hotter Than Coffee by Dexterous_Sinistrous General | 3,060w "So, is there a reason my son's phone number is on my coffee, and he wants me to call him?" The Sheriff questioned as he looked up over his glasses at Derek.

▶▶ I Have Faith In Nights by DaintyBoots Mature | 35,808w Derek had always thought his ability to pick up strays was a bit of a hindrance. But then he met Stiles.

▶▶ if i built you in miniature by keskasi ★ Teen And Up | 6,836w Derek quietly loves Christmas and is not afraid to wear the sweaters to show it. He hosts a children's TV show about science and history, builds model trains, and is painfully awkward. Stiles works in a Hallmark-type store that sells Christmas decorations and model train pieces, and might have an unhealthy appreciation for sweaters. Of course he was going to fall for Derek. Of course he was.

▶▶ If You Liked It Then You Should've Put A Ring On It by tumblweedblr N/A | 2,000w Dedicated to that moment when you see someone cute... and then see that they’re wearing a wedding ring.

▶▶ I'll Get Over This in a Lily Bit by Veera_Kara General | 2,053w So Derek has been Stiles’ number uno enemy since like day ONE okay nothing aggravates him more than seeing Derek’s dumb jock pretty boy face every morning of every day of high school. In fact, Stiles hates that fucker SO much that he's been on a quest to give Derek the most fucked up flower bouquets for his girlfriend that secretly mean "I hate your guts" or "you smell like a toilet" or whatever.

▶▶ Important Things by suzvoy Mature | 71,466w Stiles learns that even with werewolves, giant lizards and psychopathic hunters on the loose, life can still find other ways to screw with you. Case in point: everyone keeps assuming he and Derek are a couple. What the hell?

▶▶ Inevitability (About Damn Time) by accordingtomel Explicit | 9,707w "My dad thinks Derek and I are dating, Scott. Did you miss that part?"

▶▶ Keeping Up With The Stilinskis by hales-republic N/A | 2,070w He understood the meaning of balance; how to prioritize his kid, his career, and spend time with his friends. He learnt how to not lose his mind every time he caught Luke trying to sneak out of the house (during these times, he also learnt how to ignore his dad laughing uproariously muttering something about apples and trees). What he hasn’t learnt is how to react when his kid–his fifteen-year old kid–comes home with a deputy. He still doesn’t know how to react and more importantly, what to react to first. The fact that Luke potentially fucked up so hard he had to get escorted home by a cop or that the cop looked downright murderous and Stiles still found that attractive."

▶▶ Learn to Love Again by Tetota N/A | 3,811w While Derek and his pack of four learn to leave normal lives in New York, Derek realizes that his feelings for Stiles are different than he thought.

▶▶ Lift me up by Marishna Teen And Up | 1,698w Derek grudgingly met the eyes of the other man as the elevator doors slowly slid closed. He wasn’t prepared for how open and earnest his honey amber eyes were and Derek felt something stretch and tug inside of him.

▶▶ Like James Dean, Only Sadder by 42hrb Teen And Up | 3,809w The star of the Beacon Hills High School baseball team and Beacon Hills resident bad boy probably have nothing in common, right?

▶▶ Little Cabin in the Woods by trenonny N/A | 2,545w "Your grandmother is baba yaga." There was a growl in the statement, but a quiet one because the woods were silent, the sky was grey with clouds, and who knew just how well a witch straight out of Slavic folklore could hear.

▶▶ Love At First Drink by gryvon Mature | 4,916w Derek wakes up with dozens of comments on an Instagram photo he doesn't remember taking with a stranger wearing the engagement ring he bought for his girlfriend. Kate is not pleased. Stiles thinks it's hilarious.

▶▶ love is a weird thing by trilliastra Teen And Up | 882w Prompt: "Straight guy worries he's being homophobic to gay roomate, realizes he's fallen in love with him"

▶▶ Loyalty In Their Blood by team_freewill Teen And Up | 5,831w When Stiles starts dating the new boy at school, Derek begins to withdraw from the pack. Stiles tries his best to figure out what the Alpha's problem is and get them back to normal.

▶▶ Movie Wolf by dragon_temeraire Teen And Up | 3,727w Derek is an acting wolf, taking on a new movie role with up-and-coming actor Stiles Stilinski. Things don’t go quite the way he expects.

▶▶ New Traditions by baneofawolf (InTheArmsofaThief) ★ General | 4,576w Stiles fiddled with his phone, absently closing and reopening the same app over and over. He'd been thinking about this day for months. Well, for years, if he was being honest with himself, but the actual plan for this actual day had only started forming a few months ago. He'd been thinking about this ever since he found out where Derek was.

▶▶ Not a Promise by eeyore9990 Teen And Up | 1,574w Promises can be broken. Stiles' love for Derek cannot. That's a fact. But maybe Derek needs to hear it anyway.

▶▶ Now There’s Your Pickup Line by leslieknopeismyspiritanimal Teen And Up | 2,326w Prompted from the screenshot of that cop on Tinder with the bio: "Ever shouted Fuck the Police? Well, here’s your chance."

▶▶ operation: bro parenting by allhalethekings General | 2,762w Stiles looks at him with wide eyes. "We should totally adopt a baby!"

▶▶ Political Animals by FiccinDylan Teen And Up | 8,042w It's the worst day in Stiles' life and the last thing he wants is to deal with Derek Hale's bullshit. Derek feels pretty much the same.

▶▶ practice makes perfect by bleep0bleep Teen And Up | 3,340w Derek doesn’t even need to think about it because he knows it’s a bad idea. He'll kiss Stiles and get to know what it’s like, and his heart will break because he won’t ever get to have him, that this is out of friendship only. But this might be his only chance.

▶▶ punitive acts by subnivean [Note: Restricted. AO3 account is required.] Explicit | 3,881w Two idiots, both alike in indignity, or something, whatever.

▶▶ R.A.P.I.L.A. by neko_fish Teen And Up | 7,198w The first time Stiles talks to Derek Hale, it's raining, it's pouring, and Scott went and ditched him to 'study' with Allison. (Thank you, best friend Scott.)

▶▶ Rare Books and Special Collections by KuriKuri Explicit | 15,288w In which Derek is a grumpy omega writer, and Stiles is an annoyingly attractive alpha special collections librarian.

▶▶ soft again by thedaughterofkings N/A | 612w When Stiles comes home from college there's a wolf in his bed.

▶▶ Sourwoof by DiscontentedWinter ★ Teen And Up | 4,407w A kidnapping, a head injury, and something about a monkey? Stiles is the most annoying person Derek has ever had the misfortune to be abducted with.

▶▶ Stuck in a Rut by shuglove [Note: Restricted. AO3 account is required.] Explicit | 2,121w Derek knows he’s an alpha, and the doctor thinks so too. He hasn’t gone into rut, and he’s nearly eighteen.

▶▶ Suspicious Minds by HaleHole (SweetFanfics) Explicit | 40,105w Separated from Laura after being cornered by some hunters, an injured Derek finds himself being rescued by Stiles and his young daughter. In more than one way.

▶▶ Tall Tails by Neaislove General | 4,825w The Warsaw Mermaid is a point of contention in Stiles' pod. He decides he should probably head topside to set some things straight.

▶▶ The Cintron Hall Situation by dragon_temeraire Teen And Up | 3,039w Stiles is freezing and miserable in his dorm, so he decides to knock on his hot neighbor Derek's door for help.

▶▶ The flamingo in the yard by Vendelin Explicit | 6,107w It isn't fair that Stiles needs to work Christmas, when his dad is on the other side of the country. Or that his really hot, next door neighbour is around for the holidays as well. Or that there's a power outage that makes things even worse. Or better.

▶▶ The New Assistant by smokesforsterek Teen And Up | 11,130w "I don’t have an assistant," Derek barks out as he looks back to the pile of reports he needs to get done. After the last kid that tried to be his assistant left in tears after the first day, he’s decided he didn’t want an assistant at all anymore.

▶▶ the office by stilinskisparkles Teen And Up | 3,197w "Sure, I like him," Derek scowls right at the camera, "We're friends." He blinks, expression suddenly going hopeful, "Why, did he say something?" * "I have worked at Beacon Hills Office Supplies for two and a half years," Stiles pretends to hang himself with his tie, glances out of the conference room to where Derek is signing for a package with a suspicious look on his face. "It's not all bad, I guess?"

▶▶ The Road Hazards of Abs by Leslie_Knope Teen And Up | 1,482w There is a guy. A really hot guy, in fact, who has the audacity to jog on the sidewalk shirtless, as if Stiles has the mental capacity to deal with that at seven in the goddamn morning. He does not.

▶▶ The Scientific Method by uraneia Teen And Up | 5,947w Stiles has a lot of research to do. He decides Derek's kitchen is the place to do it. Derek probably regrets giving him a key.

▶▶ The Sound of Your Heart by Drapetomania ★ General | 8,980w Stiles has a 5 year plan of how to make Derek's life better and woo him in the process.

▶▶ The Weathered Shell by trilliath ★ Explicit | 14,356w The young man is standing with an arm casually thrown up to lean against the door frame, displaying his bare torso to advantage, his powerful swimmer's shoulders and lean body pale with moonlight. His cocky grin, however, is fading quickly into a look of shock and confusion. Other than a pelt shaped into a sloppy kilt, his legs are bare too, despite the chill winds coming in off the ocean. "You're not a girl," he says in a gently lilting accent that's like an odd blend of all the coastal voices Derek's ever heard, squinting at Derek like his eyes might somehow be deceiving him.

▶▶ These Stars Will Guide Us Home by anodyneer Teen And Up | 9,937w Derek fell for Stiles from the first time he saw him in a crowded planetarium, and the feeling was definitely mutual. For as well as they got to know each other over the weeks that followed, Derek still couldn't help feeling like a piece of the puzzle was missing - namely, the piece involving Stiles' home life. When Stiles disappears just before Thanksgiving break, Derek learns the truth about his boyfriend - and it's crazier than anything he could have imagined.

▶▶ This is my (not-)boyfriend you are hitting on by Hisagi90 General | 2,072w Stiles is really popular with a lot of their customers. But he's also known for dealing with 'bad' customers. Insert Derek, who looks like he's on his way to murder someone, and a crazy stalker that just won't leave him alone.

▶▶ This Started As Only Make Believe by thepsychicclam Explicit | 44,197w Derek is trying (and failing) to juggle his career, coach lacrosse, and raise his 5 year old werewolf daughter. When he adds his bitter ex-wife and his daughter's slight attachment to him, Derek knows he doesn't have any time for a life of his own - and definitely no time for the super cute daycare teacher.

▶▶ we should just kiss (like real people do) by i_am_girlfriday Teen And Up | 9,483w Stiles is the social zero of the sophomore class. Derek is the much cooler junior who befriends Stiles anyway.

▶▶ We've Never Met, But Can We Have a Coffee or Something? by cloudsarefluffy Teen And Up | 1,644w Today, instead of his regular, Erica gives him a soft smile alongside his surprise drink. Stiles returns the gesture as he grabs the cup, turning afterwards to see the man sulking in the corner as usual. With a deep breath, Stiles steels himself, and walks over to the guy’s table.

▶▶ What the Hell is a Stiles? by leslieknopeismyspiritanimal Teen And Up | 1,877w Prompt: Our mutual friend set us up on a blind date and I thought I'd hate it but you're actually... kind of funny? But because I expected to hate it in no way am I going to let you change my mind just because you're gorgeous and funny and intelligent oh no my friend is not winning this.

▶▶ Written Can't Be Denied by lookslikenico, winglesswarrior Teen And Up | 54,729w The story goes that, the first time you meet your 'soulmate', the universe will give you a sign in what should be the most obvious way - somewhere in your immediate vicinity the word 'soulmate' will appear. If reports of 'soulmates' are to be believed, rather than being written of as hopeful delusions, then this 'obvious' signal is anything but, fleeting as it is. The word seemingly only appears for a matter of moments and only when two people first meet. There is no guarantee that they will be looking in the correct direction to see it, nor that they will have any idea who their supposed 'soulmate' actually is. A fact that causes havoc the day that up and coming actor, Stiles Stilinski holds up a bottle emblazoned with the word 'soulmate' in the middle of a press conference where Derek Hale is working as a photographer, in the middle of the worst day of his life...

▶▶ You Can't Dodge Stiles Stilinski by stilinskisparkles Explicit | 27,250w "And what are you,” he points at the boy, trying not to look him in the eye, and failing. "A hundred and fifty pounds wet?" The boy smirks at him, and Derek looks resolutely away. He's now desperately trying not to picture him wet. "I can't work with this."

▶▶ You Make Me All Achy by Emela Mature | 10,965w The one in which Stiles is a merman, tries to drown Derek, but when he kisses him falls in love with him instead. (Oh, Stiles.)

▶▶ You're a Mess, But You're a Catch to Me by jsea Explicit | 11,634w The laws are clear: omegas are required to have an alpha guardian. So when the sheriff gets shot, Derek is roped in to stepping up as Stiles' temporary alpha while he recovers. Derek knew it was going to be a bad idea, but he never could have predicted all of the ways that Stiles would end up turning his life upside down.

▶▶ ;why are you barefoot? by failwolfhale General | 2,865w Derek is twelve years old and he’s outside with Laura when the scent catches them. They don’t even bother putting their shoes back on before running from the river where they’d been hunting for mudbugs. Derek clings to his sister’s hand, two weeks from being eighteen and as tough as they come. Twigs and rocks and thorns and roots tear into their feet as they run but the cuts heal as quickly as they acquire new ones and it doesn’t matter. By the time they get there, Peter is laying on the ground outside the house, unconscious with little Cora in his arms, protecting her from the flames that were licking up the wood of the house. Derek runs for it but Laura holds him back tightly, clinging to him, her blue eyes wide and frightened. Derek can hear their family inside and he wonders why Laura’s not trying to do something. That’s when a loud roar goes up, Laura collapses, and when she opens her eyes again they’re crimson red and Derek knows their family is lost to them.

▶▶ Untitled Tumblr Fic by sterektbh N/A | 3,491w The doorbell rings– probably the biography of Abraham Lincoln he ordered off Amazon. With a lazy stretch, Derek drops his book on the end table and gets up to answer the door– –and the world spins– –and he finds himself standing in a grimy, poorly-lit warehouse, staring down the barrels of at least six automatic rifles.

▶▶ Untitled Tumblr Fic by hoechlbutt N/A | 2,295w Prompt: Pack nights usually last a whole weekend in the renovated Hale house. One time Stiles forgets his pillow and Scott accidentally let everyone know Stiles can't sleep without it, Derek goes above and beyond to try and make something work, in the end his shoulder/hug does the trick.

▶▶ Untitled Tumblr Fic by whatthehellisahoechlin ★ N/A | 792w Stiles watches a proposal happening outside the restaurant he works at. Down on the pier below him, a man is down on one knee, asking the question to a another man with his back turned. Stiles holds his breath. He doesn’t know these people, but he’s invested in romance and grand gestures. He’s going to watch this play out.

▶▶ Untitled Tumblr Fic by pale-silver-comb N/A | 1,489w Prompt: "Right... Well... I'm not sure how we ended up kissing like that..."
