Summary:

After dealing with a witch that was specialized in illusions, Stiles can't tell what is real and what isn't, which becomes a bit of a problem given he is alone at night, in the middle of the woods, possibly being followed. Peter tries to help, which would be great, except Stiles is not sure if the man is real or not. “You reek of anxiety and fear.” “We did just kill a witch; I really do not know what you expected.” “No.” Peter says. “That's not it.” He furrows his brows. “You're not hurt.” He half states, half questions. He makes it sound so casual, and yet, if Stiles did not know better, he would have thought Peter seemed to be bordering on what may be concern.

Holy shit, I've been reading Teen Wolf time travel fanfics and I just realized something. There's one where Peter, Chris, and Stiles go back in time but while Peter and Chris go into their younger bodies, Stiles stays an adult, separate from his child self.

SPOILERS FOR SEASON 3B OF TEEN WOLF

What if Stiles comes back separate from his younger body because he technically isn't in his original body? The Nogitsune possessed him then spat him out in a new body, then the original was destroyed.

Anti-Hero

Inspired by Taylor Swift’s Midnights album 

I’ll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror

It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero

Stiles leaned back against the Nemeton, humming quietly to himself as he reached for the bottle of whiskey at his side. He tapped his fingers against the glass, silently counting out his ten fingers before raising the bottle to his lips. It had been weeks since the defeat of the Nogitsune and Stiles knew he wasn't doing well. Hell, no one in the entire town was doing well. The Nogitsune's reign of terror had nearly destroyed the entire town; no one was left unscathed. Everyone was left to pick up their pieces of themselves, trying to fit them back together in whatever way they could, try to fill in the gaps left behind after everything had gone down. Stiles didn't think there was any way for his pieces to be glued back together. He wasn't just broken, he was shattered. Shards of glass scattered on the floor, he couldn't be put back together the same way. He couldn't be the same Stiles again. But the birds were chirping and the sun was shining down on his face, trying to warm his constantly cold body, so he guessed that was something to be thankful for.

The sound of crunching leaves reached his ears, drawing his attention to the tree line. Just as he expected, Derek came walking out of the tree line, his hands tucked into his pockets as he entered the clearing. Stiles thought that was something else to be thankful for, Derek coming to look for him on an almost daily basis out in the preserve. Everyone else was busy with their own grief -Stiles didn't blame them for that since he was the one who caused it- but Derek, he always came looking for him. It was one of the few things Stiles could count on at this point. "We've gotta stop meeting like this, Der," Stiles slurred, tipping the bottle toward Derek.

"Stop drinking in the preserve and we'll stop meeting like this," Derek retorted, sitting on the ground beside him.

He shook his head, "If I stop drinking out here, where will I drink then? At home? At school? Can't drink in the car, drunk driving is dangerous. This is the best option."

"I don't need to tell you the preserve can be dangerous, right?"

A sharp smile crossed Stiles's face, his eyes flickering orange for a quick second. "I th-think I might be the most dangerous thing in the preserve now," he snarked. "Thanks to the parting gift from the Nogitstune. No one's afraid of the big bad wolf when Red Riding Hood is more dangerous."

Derek rolled his eyes, snatching the bottle from Stiles's hand and tossing it at a tree. "Alright, that's the sign that you've had enough to drink. Come on, we'll go back to my place." He pushed himself to his feet, dusting off his jeans before offering Stiles his hand. "Let's go."

Stiles stared up at Derek, his face blank. "Aren't you tired of being my lifeline yet?" he asked flatly. "You can't save me; you can't fix me."

"You think I don't know that?" Derek answered. "I'm not trying to fix you; you've gotta do it. But I'm in your corner. I've got your back."

"That sounds like an exhausting position to be in," he mumbled.

Derek shook his head, "I've got your back, you've got mine. That's just how we are. Now, are you coming or not? The sun is going down and it's going to get colder."

Stiles hesitated for a moment before reaching for his hand. "Yeah, I'm coming," he replied, letting himself be pulled to his feet.

Gruuldark’s Favorite FanFiction to read 2/10; MTV’s Teen Wolf

I think I began reading teen wolf Fanfiction after that episode of the Stiles saving Derek and then floating in the pool. That scene really stuck to me with shipping them, and well it snowballed from there. I loved the third season of Teen Wolf, finally there was a lot more Stiles screen time, and well, my love morphed into obsession from there. My tropes for Sterek are this, idiots in love, alpha stiles, failwolf Derek, post nogistune, nonhuman stiles, and spark stiles.

“Please.”

Stiles stands there, chewing on his pretty crimson lips, pleading.

Derek isn't fully clued in yet, but honestly, the kid is kind of vaguely breaking his heart.

“Please, Derek, I'm really sorry about this, but please just—just don't say anything, okay? And just—let me?”

Stiles had texted Derek earlier, at 3.17am, presumably just before he’d set off from his house to drive his jeep to the loft.

Derek had been lying awake in bed, unable to sleep.

His messages had read:

> dude, i rlly need to come over. that ok?

And:

> ill let myself in if thats cool?

And after a few moments, in quick succession one after the other and before Derek had a chance to respond:

> and i rlly need u to just like. not get out of bed. presuming yr already in bed

> all shall be revealed

> lol i don't know why i put that

> and obvs tell me if any of this is not ok. ok?

> as if you wouldn't lol

> #sourwolf

> and yeah i know im being a weirdo but thats why you like me

And then, a few seconds later:

> right?

Derek had stared at the flurry of messages for a minute or so, then texted back:

Okay, weirdo <

About ten minutes later, Stiles had let himself into the building. Derek listened to the kid muttering away to himself as he rode the old service elevator—except it wasn't really himself he was talking to.

“God, I hope I'm not wrong about this. Like, I think we're close enough now for it not to be weird. I mean, at least I hope we are. I'm just so fucking tired, man, and have got to get me some sleep. Anyways, just—don't get up, okay? Or, like, can you get into bed if you're not already in bed? Sorry, I know I texted you this already, I just really need you to trust me. You do know you can trust me… Right, big guy?”

Derek's trust of Stiles was implicit.

When the steel door had unlocked and slid open, Derek smelled fresh, mostly unscented shower gel over the base notes of Stiles's own cinnamon scent, mixed with the very definite chemo-signals that indicated fear, restlessness, apprehension—and also, the strongest of them all; hope.

Let me.

Here, now, Derek still doesn't know what the kid needs.

Let him what?

Derek doesn't have any more time to wonder, though, because Stiles is taking off his sneakers and pants and is slowly, very slowly—as if giving Derek the chance to protest—climbing into bed next to him.

Stiles is now in Derek's loft in the small hours, in Derek's bed, fully under Derek's covers, with Derek wearing only his grey tank and black boxer-briefs and a probably terrified look on his face.

He silently thanks the universe for the cover of night.

“Like, you should obviously say something if this is completely heinous or whatever, but otherwise just—let me do this?”

And all Derek can think is shit, he's freezing, at the same time he is going into a some sort of dumbstruck shock because Stiles is now wrapping his entire sinewy, beautiful body around the entirety of Derek's.

“This okay?” Stiles asks, the air around them spiking with the smell of his anxiety as he Big-Spoons Derek like some human-shaped octopus, skinny but strong limbs astonishingly everywhere.

And he sounds so unsure, and so small, and Derek can't bear it.

Not giving the stoic part of his brain any opportunity to talk him out of doing this, Derek takes ahold of Stiles's wrist from where the kid had draped one of his long arms around Derek's midriff, and hangs on as firmly but gently as he can, manoeuvring them both around in the bed so that Stiles is now the Little Spoon.

“This okay?” he asks gingerly, mirroring Stiles because his own words are failing him.

Stiles says, “Yeah. Even better,” and his anxiety is melting away into something much more pleasing; something like relief.

Derek breathes out the word, “Good,” and feels a little dizzy and a lot amazed, and kind of like his heart is beating wildly in his throat.

The only reason he knows it isn't, is because Stiles says, “I can feel your heart thumping away in your chest, man. But, uh, I don't have wolfy senses, so… I can't tell if it's good thumping or bad thumping.”

Then he promptly stops breathing.

Derek resists the desperate, learnt urge to run away from this. He mentally shakes himself and figures: After so many years fighting monsters together, maybe he and Stiles can fight this one together, too?

He gives himself a moment to ride out the panic, then screws his eyes shut and, praying to nobody in particular, whispers, “Good thumping,” into the shell of Stiles's ear.

Stiles shivers and breathes again, but doesn't say anything else. For once, he doesn't need to. He just needs to sleep.

As the kid settles into Derek's bed and Derek's embrace and, hopefully, Derek's life, he smells like a mix of serene and content and promise—and also, wonderfully, of Derek, now.

Derek is a strange combination of relaxed and freaking-the-fuck-out because that's just the way he's made. His brain won't stop whirring at a speed of a million miles an hour, worrying about everything and nothing, all at once, and before he can bite into his lip to stop himself, he blurts out, “Cora says I sometimes dream-talk about Cajun Gumbo recipes.”

Stiles's only sighs, then hums quietly, his breathing already evening out almost to the point of sleep.

Just when Derek thinks he's not going to get any sort of real answer, Stiles mumbles, “Okay, weirdo,” on an exhale, and then he's drifting off into unconsciousness.

Derek settles then, and smiles into the nighttime thinking that maybe, finally, he might get a good night's sleep, too.

Written in the Scars by dr_girlfriend | 15.3K | Explicit

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.

The Walls Are Breathing In by secondstar | 41.8K | Explicit

Nothing could go wrong. It was just supposed to be a safe trip to the Nemeton. But this is Beacon Hills and things are rarely that simple. Welcome to the life of Stiles Stilinski.

Or, that time that Stiles accidentally became a sorcerer against his will.

Someone Else’s Dream by theroguesgambit | 36.6K

Post-3B. Derek has gone missing, and Stiles’ dreams might be the only way to save him.

out of the nightmare, into your arms by  tryslora | 6.4K

Stiles wakes up in the bathtub. It’s the third time sleepwalking this week, and at least this time he’s in the house. Ever since the Nogitsune, he’s had nightmares and nothing, and no one seems to be able to stop them. Until Derek.

Full On Rainstorm by BarlowGirl | 10.5K | Explicit

He catches Derek by the arm and Derek lets himself be turned, surprised when Stiles shoves a small box into his hands. “I don’t know if you still celebrate it or what but… I wanted you to know someone was thinking about you. Happy birthday.”

Then he squeezes Derek’s arm and bolts, gone before Derek can think to stop him.

He opens the box standing there, only to find one singular, misshapen, sloppily-frosted, cupcake, with a candle in the box next to it. It’s kind of squished despite the paper towel all around it to keep it from banging around in the box.

If You’re Going Through Hell (Keep Going) | 48.5K

Stiles thought everything leading up to Allison’s death was hell, but he was wrong. Spending senior year dealing with the pack’s dismissal of him while secretly training to be Deaton’s replacement was hell. Feeling guilty and hating himself for what the Nogitsune did was hell. Being in love with someone who would never love him back was hell. Well, if you’re going through hell, keep going.

Not Quite Lost (Not Quite Found) by alocalband | 25K | Explicit

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.

The One You Choose by Asterekmess (Livinginfictions) | 13.4K | Mature

Stiles hadn’t seen Scott in over a week, except for glances he caught during school hours.

Saturday Night At The Movies by aussiebee | 7.3K | Explicit

After running into Stiles at the late night movies, Derek realises just how badly Stiles is handling the post-nogitsune fallout. He knows the feeling.

Sense of Home by siny | 53K | Explicit

Home can be a place, but it can also be a person.

After the events with the Nemeton, Stiles starts suffering the consequences of their sacrifice. A journey he attempts to make on his own, but only becomes worse with every step he takes. In the process he seeks comfort in an unexpected place and it draws him toward an unexpected person.

Illuminated by ZainClaw | 5K 

“Because I’m falling in love with you and it’s scaring the hell out of me.”

Start Small, Like Oak Trees by SmallBirds | 24.2K

The months following Allison’s death have passed Stiles by in a haze of monotony. He sleepwalks through days that seem to lose their color, an unwilling passenger in a body he no longer trusts. Eventually, he thinks, he’ll just fade away. He isn’t sure anyone would notice. Then, during a spur of the moment grocery run, he stumbles upon Derek Hale attempting to console a lost child, and for the first time in recent memory the world doesn’t seem so awful. He’s not sure what he’d been expecting when he eventually convinces Derek to move into the Stilinski’s spare bedroom, but a newfound passion for weeding and topsoil certainly isn’t it.

Nitesky by  thepsychicclam | 7K

Stiles has trouble dealing with the after effects of the nogitsune, and Derek finds him sitting on his roof.

Honey, Can’t you See (The Bloodstains on my Teeth) by  Loup_Aigre, TroubleIWant | 44.9K

“Mr Stilinski.” Deaton’s usually impassive face betrays a hint of surprise today, maybe even disappointment. “You haven’t changed your mind.”

Stiles tips his chin up, smiling against his irritation. “Nope,” he confirms, so cheerily it bites. They had arranged this weeks ago, yet Deaton was apparently betting Stiles wouldn’t go through with it in the end. Fuck that. He doesn’t know what it’s like out there, not really. He can afford to hold himself aloof and uninvolved, knowing his druid power is enough to keep him safe in this little office. Stiles can’t. Scott’s pack has got to protect this whole town, and Stiles’ spark isn’t enough to protect all of them while they do it.

Rating: T

Word Count: 4,160

Summary: Stiles leaves when it becomes clear he’ll never really be trusted again, when he can admit to himself that maybe he was never even welcomed to begin with. It’s a more freeing acceptance than he’d once thought it would be.

Four years down the road and three years into a war that spans the globe, the supernatural has been exposed, the Beast of Gévaudan and its servants roam free, and Beacon Hills is an active warzone. In a fit of desperation, Kira attempts the same summoning ritual her mother had performed almost a century prior and what comes through is… not something any of them expects.

Would You Forgive Me If I Called You Hope, Peter Hale? (Hope, By Any Other Name) by Whispering_Samir

Summary:

Stiles has scars. He owns that, he accepts it, he's cataloged and memorized every single one, he's hyper fucking aware of them all. // "What do you want, Peter?" Having the more untrustworthy of the Pack getting protective weirds him the fuck out, leaves an odd fluttering in his chest, like moths, waiting perilously and suicidally to be burned. He doesn't like it. "You're injured," the man says, "and whatever it is, it's put you in enough pain that I nearly fainted when I-" "- Used your werewolf mojo on me without my permission?" Stiles smirks, and Peter gives him a black look, crossing a leg over his knee and smoothing out some invisible wrinkle on his pants. "Tell me the truth Stiles, how bad is it?" [Or: The one where Stiles has scars, is more than a little fucked up, and Peter notices. He helps.]

Don’t get me wrong I love teenwolf. But!

Stiles’s trauma was so fucking over looked. I feel like the show moved on from the nogitsune and the side affects it had on stiles.

Like they could’ve done such a good job with the strain on stiles psyche. Bc I loved the way they showed the panic attacks.

Like sure they touched on the panic attacks and the insomnia. But I would’ve loved to see stiles like actually break in the series. Maybe I just love angst too much.

Also loved the parallels in the two scenes where stiles has a gun pointed to his head. It’s definitely a good parallel where the watcher can see the strain on stiless mental as the show progressed.

Or when Theo is antagonizing stiles about “void stiles”. I wanted to see stiles tap into that side of him so bad throughout the series after that confrontation.

Thank you for creating A-town it is really funny and I am actually invested now.

Thank you! Further headcanons about A-Town, the shitty decade-postwar sitcom inspired by Jake Berenson's life:

Brandon A., the main character, is easily the least popular one on the show. He's usually the straight guy to his friends' antics, he constantly cheats on his girlfriend Crystal (including with his cousin Trina), and he's underbaked compared to all the wacky side characters. (Jake, if asked, doesn't care that everyone hates Brandon.) (Jake's a liar.)

The most popular fan ship is Gina/Trina, also called Team Gets Shit Done. Not that anyone ever really gets much alien-fighting done ever on the show, but at least those two are marginally less incompetent than the rest of the cast.

Far and away the most disturbing fan theory (from Jake's point of view) is the one around Trina and Brandon's cousin Zeke who gets killed off in an episode with a million jokes about everyone only pretending to be sad he's gone... only to have that same actor appear in a different minor role two seasons later. There are all kinds of elaborate Epileptic Trees-type explanations for this mistake, including that there's a secret seventh morpher who took on Zeke's identity to get close to Trina.

Jeremy Jason McCole makes a Special Guest appearance, of course — guy was the public face of The Sharing for 0.03 seconds, after all. His character (at JJM's insistence) is a heroic civilian who gives aid to the fauximorphs while they're on the run from The Gathering, and sacrifices himself to get captured by the aliens so the kids can escape. In theory this should have consequences for the plot — he knows the identities of the entire resistance movement — but in true sitcom fashion, it... doesn't.

Speaking of The Gathering, Ash Lewis, who plays Daisy A./ Zeptron 420 (Brandon's older sister), is the breakout star of A-Town. Much like Alfie Allen in Game of Thrones or Dylan O'Brien in Teen Wolf, it isn't clear how much of this is down to talent and how much is down to her just being given more to work with than most of her costars. Either way, she's the blonde bombshell who builds her way into Hollywood heartthrob fame.

...with a little help from costar Marco Alvarez. Because the whisper network is what it is, and Ashleigh "Ash Lewis" Lewandowska would never make it to the A List if anyone knew about the steady girlfriend she has at home. Despite playing a teenager, she's within a year of Marco's age, and she initially suggests the two of them get seen on a few date. Marco does one better, finding her half a dozen "boyfriends" to keep the vultures happy long enough for her to start getting blockbuster roles. By far her most attention-getting "fling" is the single date she goes on with the very inspiration for her A-Town character: she and Tom Berenson (with their respective girlfriends' permission) get exactly one dinner together at the most tabloid-trafficked restaurant on Sunset Boulevard, a headline too good to pass up and a highly effective murder to the next decade's worth of rumors about her orientation.

More A-Town headcanons here and here.

#animorphs #a-town #sitcom #jake berenson #animorphs crack #look #i love alfie allen and dylan o'brien #but let's be honest that theon greyjoy and stiles stilinski having two of the most apeshit character arcs in tv history #probably has something to do with both actors' post-genre show success #they should've let tyler posey play a nogitsune while they were at it #just look at him in Truth or Dare #he could do it if given the chance
