    Summary

    Stiles tells himself he cares about Derek because of the pack. Pack is important to Derek, and Derek is— well. Whatever.
    Derek knows his wolf chose Stiles the moment he woke up on that clinic floor. He also knows Stiles is sixteen, that everything he loves turns to ash, and that the kindest thing he can do is keep his distance.
    He is not particularly good at it.

    Summary

    Sometimes, Stiles thought about telling him. It wasn’t even a thought, but a fantasy of him kissing Derek first thing in the morning and kissing him goodnight, of not going into separate bedrooms after a tiring day. He dreamed of making that one step further and putting not only his chin on Derek’s shoulder when the wolf cooked breakfast, but his hands around Derek’s waist, dreamed of taking his hand and threading their fingers, dreamed of kisses and sex and shared life.

    It wasn’t this young puppy love. It wasn’t lust, though it was there. It was a years-long, deep, chronic ache. Bittersweet. Overwhelming. Sometimes, it didn’t let Stiles breathe, and other times it was the only thing that made him do it.

    Stiles’ confession would destroy them, but not Derek. Because Derek would get up and lift his chin again.

    If the alpha was brave enough to cover Stiles’ body from an imminent threat, then maybe it was time for Stiles to get brave, as well. The wounds may never close, but if Derek rejected him… it wouldn’t matter.

    Nothing ever would.

    Summary

    They had been sat in the doorway to Scott’s back garden at New Year when Derek had told Stiles about his decision to give up being Alpha, Stiles had literally whooped with joy. Derek had made a joke about Stiles being too happy about not having Derek as his Alpha anymore, and Stiles had been so giddy with pride that he didn’t even joke back. He just gave him the longest hug and Derek had hugged him back so tightly. Stiles would deny any tears that may have been present as he luxuriated in the warm, glowing fondness and intimacy of the moment. Derek’s hands had felt so warm and safe and certain as they moved down Stiles’ back.

    But now, in the yellow light of the ranger cabin, all these months later, Stiles wanted to reach out to Derek, touch his shoulder, or even just bump his knee with his own but he couldn’t make himself do it. It felt wrong.

    “We’ll find them,” he said instead. “We will.”

    Summary

    Stiles is what he calls a theoretical slut. He would very much like to be a practicing slut.

    It's too bad that man he wants to turn him into said practicing slut is his professor, Derek Hale, who would never look at Stiles like that.

    Wouldn't he?
