#but everything still being vague enough that Stiles doesn't connect the pieces until later

okay but Steo soulmate au where you always know your soul mate's biggest secret

#teen wolf #stiles stilinski #theo raeken #kid Steo not having anything specific enough to know #then Claudia and Tara dying and both of them having 'I killed her' #Theo not having many secrets with the doctors around so Stiles mostly gets random conversations Theo shouldn't have listened in on #Stiles mostly trying to hide how badly his mom's death affected him and his dad #Theo being allowed to leave every so often for a few hours and Stiles getting images of his favorite places #Stiles getting his pet snake and the week before his dad finds it is the most stressful one of Theo's life #Stiles finding out about werewolves‚ and keeping everyone else's secrets #(Theo's reaction to whatever the truth of I don't want to be like you is) #Theo figuring out it's Stiles sometime during or after s3 #(maybe during frayed/motel california the sacrifice or after the nogitsune) #Stiles knowing his soul mate knows because they're afraid 'they' (the dread doctors‚ but Theo/the secret never calls them that) #might take an interest in him #but everything still being vague enough that Stiles doesn't connect the pieces until later #Theo coming back and technically being completely honest with Stiles because he literally can't keep secrets from him #(Theo's secret is still 'he's my soul mate) #Stiles killing Donovan and his going back to 'I killed him' #Stiles suspecting something when his soulmate's secret changes to 'I didn't mean for this to happen' #just after he left the library #getting his confirmation on the hospital roof and Theo talking about his sister #everything still going to hell #Stiles not knowing if Scott's accusation or Theo's distant 'I'm sorry about this' hurts more #the staircase scene #Stiles secret being 'Theo's my soulmate' #Theo only hearing it for the first time when Stiles accuses him about scott #not doing anything about it because it's too late #Theo still dying‚ the last thing he /knows/ is 'I don't want him to die' #Stiles never telling anyone‚ but waking up in the train station with a new secret and‚ maybe possibly‚ hope
