Don We Now Our Gay Fake Boyfriends by relenafanel [“What happened to your sweet Camaro?” Stiles asked. “His sister borrowed it,” Erica said cheerfully. “Drove to Lake Tahoe for the holidays and left him here without transportation and fending for himself.” This was… perfect, actually. Stiles needed a fake date and Derek needed a drive. “I’ll tell you what, I’ll drive you to and from the party and in return I get to tell Mrs. Gordon you’re my date.” “Fine.” Derek nodded. Yes! Stiles had a fake date to the Holiday Party!]
Safe at Anchor by Jerakeen [All hail Stiles, the Fixer of Wolves.]
Five Times Stiles Doesn’t Actually Need A Condom (And One Time He Does) by otter [Stiles doesn’t actually mean to become Beacon Hills High’s go-to guy for free condoms and sex advice. It just happens.]
Flying Changes by otter [Derek’s a dressage rider with a reputation for frowning and making people cry. Stiles is an acrobatic stunt rider whose resume includes medieval-themed dinner shows and the actual circus. Derek’s an Olympian, he doesn’t need this shit.]
you’re the message i was heeding by magneticwave [Stiles Hale: Schrödinger’s widow.]
Dancing With The Moon by starsandgraces [Dancing With The Stars AU. Stiles Stilinski, former child star, has been strong-armed into participating in a reality show by his agent in an attempt to raise his profile and actually get him some work as an adult. With champion dancer Laura Hale on his arm, Stiles might even stand a chance of going all the way. Their only obstacle (aside from Stiles’ complete inability to cha cha cha) is Lydia Martin and her professional partner—Laura’s brother, Derek.]
bonfires burning bright (room in my coffin tonight) by hito [Stiles may hate Halloween, but he loves working at the Haunted House — at least until the new girl steals his cushy job in the office. But she also introduces him to the guy he’s had a crush on for years, so he supposes she can’t be a total witch. That doesn’t mean Derek isn’t a vampire.]
taking the bus to chinatown by hito [Stiles’ home economics teacher forces him to knit mittens. Nobody wants Stiles’ mittens, but then Stiles offers them to Derek, and Stiles is pretty sure Derek does these things purely to drive him crazy. What else could it be?]
Show Me The Way Back Home Baby by stilinskisparkles [In which Lydia and Jackson produce the world’s cutest baby, and the pack goes crazy— the good kind of crazy. Except for Derek, who is afraid of tiny cute babies and Stiles who plans to be the best Uncle ever. Even if Danny called dibs on Godfather.]
A Flooring Romance by rlnerdgirl [After being steamrolled by some rough and vindictive career competition, Derek is finally getting back on his feet when he and his sister purchase Hale’s Hardwood, their very own hardwood flooring shop. To Derek’s dismay, some eccentric guy, who goes by Stiles and has a buzz that makes him look ridiculous and far younger than he has to be, opens up a tile shop right across the way.]
Invited Inside by blacktofade [Of all the things to finally bite him, a vampire is truly at the bottom of Stiles’ list.]
Aversion Therapy by entanglednow [If Stiles had had more than a second to think about it, he probably would have remembered that his spur of the moment ideas weren’t always his best ones.]
Tell me how all this, and love too, will ruin us by queerly_it_is [Derek doesn’t get why he likes it so much. It’s just not — he hadn’t expected to need this. Not from Stiles. Not from anyone, ever. He doesn’t do this. Except he does, now. Because it’s for Stiles, and Derek — fuck, he likes it too.]
Selected Field Observations on Canis lupus irremotus by wldnst [Stiles is going to make Derek internet famous, like that one cat and that other cat. Derek just wants to do his field research.]
Last Lovesong of a Dying Lemon by wldnst [Stiles’ Jeep keeps breaking down. Derek is a mechanic.]
You are the Moon by skoosiepants [Stuff Stiles doesn’t like to deal with first thing: hot, moist dog breath in his face, a cuddly werewolf creepifying his perfectly normal morning wood with shades of bestiality, and his dad holding his service revolver up against the skull of his bedmate, never mind the fact that his bedmate could possibly be a vicious unhinged rogue omega.]
Show You What All That Howl Is For by skoosiepants [“This is a terrible idea,” Stiles tells the room again. “You’ll all be sorry when Derek pushes me off a cliff.”]
Dude, what’s a bulwark? by kellifer_fic [Beacon Hills is the kind of small town where everybody knows everybody, and what everybody knows is that surly diner owner Derek Hale and free spirited single dad Stiles Stilinski have been in love with each other for years. If only they knew it too.]
Into Dust by melfice [It stands to chance your prince charming is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Sometimes you fall for the wolf.]
Unmapped by Jerakeen [Stiles can never leave a good mystery alone.]
Aether by hoars [Tall, dark and menacing — Derek — doesn’t do anything except for inch a little closer to Stiles. Stiles stares at his supposed soulmate at the movement. Holy God. Stiles must have saved a building of orphans and kittens and puppies in another life to get that as his soulmate. There’s muscle. More muscle than Stiles had been aware was capable and the guys on the lacrosse team were not shy about stripping down to only their shorts if Coach let them get away with it. Stiles has a healthy amount of muscle himself. Like, he’s reasonable toned. Not like Derek at all who was probably confused as a Celtic warrior from the past. Stiles really, really wanted to touch Derek and unless Stiles was blind and dumb, Derek really, really wanted to touch Stiles too.]
Cherrybomb by the_deep_magic [Stiles is yanked up to his feet so fast that his world spins and his shoulder aches and he’s a second from screaming police brutality! when he gets a good look at the cop’s face. Holy shit. Stiles was just tackled to the ground by a fucking underwear model with a badge.]
You’re a Dream to Me by lady_ragnell [Derek has the first dream in a shitty motel room just across the Nevada border, when his clothes still smell like smoke.]
In quiet, a favor by Helenish [“You like happy endings, huh?” Stiles says, lying pressed in against his back, sliding his fingers along the edge of Derek’s chest, along his ribs and up his sternum.]
Little Red Riding Hood (you sure are looking good) by aohatsu [Stiles hangs out with werewolves. Stiles dresses up as Little Red Riding Hood for Halloween. It’s supposed to be ironic.]
Solstice Alpha by Dira Sudis (dsudis) [The traditional Hale pack solstice party gets resurrected by the new and improved-from-ten-months-ago Hale pack.]
Wednesday morning by 8611 [Derek’s going to break, and Stiles is worried he’s going to be the one to do it. (Or, the one where team human are professional doms and Stiles has a new Wednesday morning.)]
With A Little Christmas Magic by AceLotti [AU: Stiles is jobless this Christmas and as a last resort, is stuck playing one of Santa’s elves at the mall. The job is a bust, and Stiles isn’t really in the Christmas mood, until he finds salvation in the Starbucks at the food court, not only in hiding from kids, but in one very sexy barista named Derek. ((Or: In Which Stiles in an Elf and Derek is a Christmas Coffee Magician)).]
A Simple Life by Survivah [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.]
Derelictions of Duty by Regann [No one wants to be the bearer of bad news to someone as nice as Sheriff Stilinski — especially when he’s your boss. That’s why none of his employees want to be the first one to tell him about the scandalous goings-on between his only son and the former murder suspect Derek Hale. For all of their sakes, hopefully the Sheriff will find out all on his own. (Or, 5 times a Beacon County Sheriff’s Office employee witnesses the unique relationship between Stiles and Derek but neglects to tell the Sheriff and 1 time he witnesses it for himself.)]
Darling It Is No Joke by thehoyden [The first thing Stiles thinks when he opens the door is that it’s not his birthday, but someone has sent him some kind of cop stripper.]

The Common App by ionthesparrow [The summer after junior year, Stiles trains to be part of a werewolf pack, comes out, is kissed for the first time, falls in love, then out, and still has nothing to write about for his college application essays.]
Go For The Gold (And A Few Other Things) by SpiritsFlame [Stiles came to the Olympics with one goal- get a gold medal. By Opening Ceremonies, he has two goals. Win a gold medal, and sleep with Derek Hale. Unfortunately for him, those two goals are equally difficult.]
On Building an IKEA Den for an Alpha Werewolf. by idek_idic [Senior Prom is coming up, and Stiles doesn’t have a date. Additionally, Derek has an unfurnished apartment, and no one to take him to IKEA.]
Goldilocks by tourdefierce [It may be the wrong fairytale to fit their odd world, but Derek was most definitely Goldilocks, and somehow, Stiles’ bed was juuuuuust right.]
Cool story, bro by drunktuesdays [“FUUUUUUCK, is it a sweet valley high situation where Stiles is very aware that his twin is way more attractive and confident than he is, EVEN THOUGH THEY’RE IDENTICAL, and he always ends up with the hotter significant others and more friends and Stiles guesses that’s why he’s attracted to the pack at first, because it’s something that’s just his, not his twin’s too. But of course, Stiles’s twin gets bit and now he’s part of Derek’s pack, and Derek doesn’t snap at him like he snaps at Stiles, never slams him into things, fucking FIGURES, STILES’S TWIN GETS EVERYTHIIIIIIIING.”]

Stiles Stilinski and the Quest for Coolness by flaming_muse [The thing was that it wasn’t like Stiles shouldn’t be cool. He was likable. He was on the lacrosse team. He sat with the popular kids at lunch. And he knew how to kick some serious werewolf ass, which was pretty damn cool if you asked him, which, of course, people didn’t. He just needed to think about what was separating him from the cool guys, the ones who had girls and guys swooning when they walked by, and fix it.]
Extenuating Circumstances by flaming_muse [Five times Stiles doesn’t believe it when Derek shows him affection (because he’s spent too much time reading stupid things on the internet), and one time he finally listens. (Or, the one where I laugh my way through fandom tropes.)]
Der Yingl fun Erd un Blitz (The Boy of Earth and Lightning) by sofonisba_found [Miriam and John Stilinski had always wanted to have children. But when her illness prevented her from giving birth, and every conventional alternative option to raise a child was denied to them, they had to look for an…unconventional method. One that would give them a child that was himself far from ordinary in so many ways. And soon after, in the town of Beacon Hills, a young werewolf named Derek begins to notice the scent of something different from anything he had ever known before in the air…]
Trees are always a relief after dealing with people (except when they aren’t) by ravelqueen [Derek Hale decides to become a hermit before he reaches 25. Too bad he picked Beacon Hills as his retirement home.]
A Californian Werewolf in New York by dancinbutterfly & knight_tracer [When Derek finally realizes that there’s nothing left for him in Beacon Hills, he goes back to New York, gets a life, falls in love and finds his home.]
[Not!Fic] Random Craigslist Missed Connections Derek/Stiles Not!Fic of Doom by fire_juggler_writes (fire_juggler) [An AU in which Stiles is lonely and addicted to the Missed Connections page on Craigslist, Derek is a hermit with a persistant sister, Scott gives unexpectedly good relationship advice, and it all ends happily-ever-after.]
Fireman Derek’s Crazy Pie [Cheeseburger Baby] by owlpostagain [“He can’t blame me for the fact that I live in a building full of people united in the singular effort to ogle Hot Fireman as often as humanly possible." Laura laughs, loud and echoing in the empty restaurant. "Hot firemen can make a girl do crazy things," she agrees, nodding towards her brother’s name on the menu. “Derek won’t let me date anyone from his company, but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the eye candy." "Send them my way," Stiles suggests, finally loading up a forkful of pie. “Apparently I’m incompetent enough that I need to be babysat at all times, because it would be cheaper than dispatching a truck every time I try to use a kitchen appliance."]
Patterns of Intention by drunktuesdays [Derek looked like the stuff of his deepest fantasies. His shirt was rumpled where Stiles had his hands in it, and he was breathing hard as well, chest heaving. His eyes—his eyes were glazed over and he looked stunned, like he’d been—like Stiles had— “No,” Stiles said, blood draining from his face. The word was croaky and felt like it had to be wrenched out of his chest. “God, no.”]
last night’s dress (tiptoe out of this mess) by hito [TFLN: My dad just asked me if my booty call guy that comes over at 3am and leaves at 6 would like to stay for Sunday brunch next week. You in?]
tomorrow’s paper (never meant for) by hito [Stiles is a film student on a mission. A righteous mission! Really, it’s fertile ground for good karma and a healthier recognition in the college film department. (Which completely failed to appreciate his 17 hour drama-mentary about the sexual identity crisis of his pet cactus. Plebs.) But this time with wild life conservation and public enlightenment in his camera sights, Stiles is totally going to Do Good.…if only the damn wolf would hold still for taping instead of constantly stealing Stiles’ camera equipment. And if only the Hale jerk quit chasing Stiles out of his backyard forest.]
Hello, Heartbreaker by astoryaboutwar (ofalexandra) [It’s a popular joke among Alphas: fuck an Omega, get heartbreak on your hands. Omegas are fragile little emotional things, needy and whiny. Stiles refuses to become that, or to believe that he’s anything like that. Stiles and Derek have been fuckbuddies for a while when Derek loses his memories of the past three years - and them - in an accident. (Also - everyone’s a werewolf, and everyone’s alive.)]
Homo Erectus by ferretbaby [Where Stiles from the Argent tribe is out one night hunting and is captured by the rival Hale tribe’s Hunter Derek, who decides to relieve Stiles of his burdensome virginity. Stiles is okay with this.]

A Life Less Ordinary by Jebiwonkenobi [It takes a few years but eventually they manage to agree on something; Derek Hale is an asshole, and Stiles Stilinski is in love with him.]

By The Hour by janonny [The one where Stiles thought Derek was a hooker who needed feeding, and Derek thought Stiles was interested in him.]
Feline Persuasion by rensahannou [Derek doesn’t need to worry about the cat living under the porch at his family’s old house, it’s just—Derek’s just used to worrying about things.]

Welcome to Hale by relenafanel & rlnerdgirl [“This is Laura Hale calling. I have you booked at Lake Hale from September 16th - 18th, party of 6. I can assure you that our groundskeeper is up to the task. Previous visitors have reviewed his performance as being “suitably creepy” and “watch him, I think he really is a murderer.” Scripts have been sent to the email addresses you provided. We recommend that you keep the details of your murder private, to ensure the impact the events have on the rest of your party. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. I assure you, your friend won’t know what hit him. Metaphorically, of course. Welcome to Hale.”]
Practice Makes Perfect by blacktofade [In his sophomore year, Stiles gets dragged to lacrosse tryouts by Scott and ends up practising alongside the senior captain, Derek Hale. Stiles just wants to live long enough to become a junior.]
No Other Star by thestreetballet [Derek Hale, a sixth-year student (and werewolf) at Hogwarts, discovers that he’s bonded spontaneously to Stiles Stilinski, a second-year student. So, he does what any other werewolf would do - befriend the younger boy to get closer to him. Derek’s sister tries to play matchmaker, Stiles remains oblivious, the Hunters want his blood, whilst his own uncle is a rabid werewolf purist who hates humans (and Stiles’ father). Unsurprisingly, Derek wishes everyone would leave them alone.]
Don’t Worry Baby by kalpurna ["You know you’re allowed to ask for vanilla sex, right?" he says, afterwards. “We can do whatever you want. That’s kind of the point." Derek doesn’t respond.]
Knot the Average Alpha by blacktofade [Stiles’ favourite porn star, Derek Hale, moves into his apartment block and there are inappropriate facial jokes, broken bones, and a staggering amount of threats in a tiny elevator.]
Then You Think Again by leah k (blinkiesays) ["Holy crap! Why the hell did you lie to incredibly powerful magical beings with trust issues? How was that Plan A?” Derek says, “We’re not arguing about this, it’s already done." "Like hell we’re not fighting about this," Stiles says, indignant. “What were you thinking?” "I was thinking it was worth the risk if it kept you alive! And it worked, so drop it." "You had no idea that it was going to work!" Stiles throws his hands up. Why is Derek the most frustrating werewolf in the history of ever, why is Stiles even helping him, why is this his life? “Why did they even believe you in the first place?" Derek says, “You reeked of me," which is unfair. Stiles only smelled because he’d gotten covered in Derek’s bodily fluids trying to staunch the bleeding.]
Staring shadows in the eye by queerly_it_is [Derek has spent six years travelling the country as a hunter, searching for the demon that used him and murdered his family, relying on the unwanted power he holds as Alpha to keep himself going. When he’s captured by another demon who calls himself Stiles, Derek strikes a devil’s bargain to ensure the revenge that’s become his obsession. But Stiles has an agenda of his own, and when you make deals with demons, nothing is ever as simple as it seems.]
Friends of Early Theory by Nanoochka [In which Derek is a gruff, struggling executive for his family’s sprawling, wealthy company in New York, and Stiles is his quirky, offbeat intern who brings him cold coffee each morning and wears stupid T-shirts to work and generally succeeds at being a thousand times more charming than Derek could ever hope to be. To the outside observer, their relationship is combative but fond, although in private Stiles and Derek have a great deal more secrets, anger, and painful history between them than Derek is prepared to acknowledge or reveal. In retrospect, that might be half of the problem.]
There is a Brotherhood by minusoneday [The one where pledge brothers Stiles and Scott start a prank war with Derek Hale’s fraternity.]
The Sanctuary by chase_acow [Stiles runs away during his first heat, right into the waiting and ambiguously scary arms of the Alpha’s nephew, Derek Hale. He doesn’t have any choice except to submit, but along the way, he digs up a mystery that threatens his family and even the town’s safety.]
The Road to Self-Actualization Is Littered with F-Bombs by blue_fjords [It’s Stiles’s final Spring Break of his college career, and he’s got plans to do a whole lot of nothing. But Derek has other plans for him, and before he knows it, Stiles is joining Derek to go undercover at a couples’ retreat in a bid to catch a ring of thieves. It’s the world’s most perfect plan! Nothing could possibly go wrong!]
Triple Shot Pumpkin Spice Latte by coffeeinallcaps ["For two years, Stiles had very much enjoyed his position as Guidance Counselor at his old college. The pay was all right, the students who came to see him were interesting, and his work was challenging and diverse. …Or so it used to be, before some guy named Professor Hale joined the staff."]

Lock All The Doors Behind You by entanglednow [He has no idea what you’re supposed to say when you find one of your…werewolf acquaintances, completely out of their mind, growling like they’re about to see what your insides taste like. There’s no handbook for this. Stiles is thinking that if he survives he might write one.]
Tricksters Make This World by wldnst [Stiles comes back to Beacon Hills during the new moon in April.]
A (Sort of) Fairytale by briecheesie & daunt [The summer after senior year starts normally enough, with the gang spending their final months before college together at the Martin family’s lake house. Then Jackson stumbles onto the burial ground of a witch’s ex-husband, Stiles is magically turned into a fox, and things somehow manage to get worse from there. The gratuitous Princess Bride references are only of moderate help.]
Electricity In the Contact by ladyblahblah [In which Derek has been invited to the Greater Pacific Northwest Alpha Symposium (that’s not what it’s called, Stiles, stop saying that), and showing up unattached would mean an arranged marriage. When the rest of the pack objects, he agrees to let Stiles come along to pose as his mate. Derek is reasonably sure that he’s not going to make it out of this weekend alive.]
It’s Called a Heart Boner by RemainNameless [In which everyone and everything ever in the history of the world is trying to ruin Derek’s life before he can finish his master’s, especially his evil twin sister, his weird ability to start relationships on accident, his best friend’s obsession with his sex life, people with dimples, his subsequent inability to end relationships, manipulative sorority queens, and oh yeah, that stupid drunk ass freshman he keeps running into.]
30k+
Cupboard Love by mklutz [He’s carefully balancing the sandwiches and the two biggest tupperware containers he could find that both had functioning lids when the front door opens and he almost drops everything right there in front of the stupid fountain. If that’s Derek Hale, he’s definitely not a mountain man.]
DILF by twentysomething ["Today is Scott’s first day of kindergarten and Derek is terrified."]
Crash Landers by gyzym [In which Stiles learns to Stalk That Stalk. (Or, how to accidentally woo your unfriendly neighborhood alpha in roughly five hundred handwritten steps.)]
The Importance of Turning Around Three Times Before Lying Down by otter [It’s like this dog has walked out of all of Stiles’ childhood dreams and into the real world just because Stiles wanted it hard enough. He is the most awesome dog ever, and Stiles and his new dog totally have a bond. A deep, unbreakable bond because this dog is his spirit animal, obviously. Now he just has to convince the dog of that.]
hyper heart alone by hito [When Stiles returns home to help his father recover from an injury, he discovers that things have changed somewhat in his absence: Derek is working closely with Stiles’ father, around the house and underfoot, generally annoying and disconcerting Stiles with his presence. Well, Stiles isn’t sure you could call all the sex they end up having annoying, but he isn’t really willing to call it anything else, either.]
Losers by stilinskisparkles [Where Derek is new to college, eager to spend his time learning, and Stiles is everything he didn’t want in a room mate. He’s loud, he’s into sports, and he keeps trying to make Derek do things.
Or, the one where Derek falls for a jock, Erica will cut you if you disturb her studying, and Jackson is a closeted romantic who pretends to hate everything.]
By Any Other Name by entanglednow [He doesn’t know his name, he doesn’t know who he is, and neither does the werewolf he’s on the run with. But he’s pretty sure they hunt monsters, because they seem to be really good at it.]
Howlin’ For You by Lenore [A college AU with strippers, crime bosses, and a mystery to solve.]
The Well of Living Waters by kalpurna [King Derek takes a consort.]
Wayward and Down by affectingly [That time it took not one, but two separate troll attacks and a malevolent coven of witches for Stiles to figure out how he felt about Derek.]
35k+
Sourwolf Candy by relenafanel [When the Sourwolf Candy franchise offers a $10,000 annual scholarship to the school of the winner’s choice, Stiles jumps at the chance to enter. It doesn’t matter that the other prizes are a day with one of the Hales and a lifetime supply of Sourwolf Candy. The sacrifices are worth it, because if there’s one thing that Stiles hates more than Sourwolf Candy, it’s Derek Hale. So of course he has to spend a day with the guy who made the catchphrase ‘Don’t be such a Sourwolf’ popular: Sourfaced Derek Hale himself. If he doesn’t, he doesn’t get his scholarship money. Derek just wants a little sugar. Or a lot of sugar, as the case may be. A whole case of sugar. (He stress-eats sugar, ok?)]
Mating Habits of the Domesticated North American Werewolf by lielabell [Derek doesn’t do pining. He doesn’t. So when it becomes clear that Stiles is much more interested in having Derek as a new best friend than a boyfriend, he puts on his big boy pants and makes it fucking work. He becomes the best goddamn friend a spastic teenager could ever hope to have.]
Stilinski’s Home for Wayward Wolves by owlpostagain
[“At least your puppies knock first,” Stiles snorts. “Here I thought their alpha raised them to be well-mannered.” “There’s a sign,” Derek responds stiffly.
Stiles, whose curiosity outweighs even his hardest of grudges, abandons his chilly façade of nonchalance in a heartbeat. He jumps right up and all but pushes Derek out of the way in his effort to get to the window, and sure enough when he leans outside there’s a laminated strip of cardstock duct taped to the vinyl siding:
DON’T FORGET TO KNOCK Stiles gets cranky when we scare him.]

But when murders that might be connected to the death of his best friend Laura start occurring, he is forced to team up with her brother Derek to get to the bottom of it.]
You Saw Me Standing Alone by breenwolf [A pack of alpha werewolves is burning a war path through Beacon Hills; Stiles shouldn’t have the luxury of trying to get laid. ]

[Sleep]Walking After You by relenafanel [Derek is a sleepwalker who keeps wandering into his downstairs neighbour’s bedroom. Stiles is pretty sure the hot guy from the park is going to kill him in his sleep. He knows he shouldn’t have been so obvious about objectifying the guy’s really fine ass. Too bad it turns out Derek is easier to get along with when he’s sleeping.]
Ain’t Nothing so Good as the Cake and Eating it by sofonisba_found [Derek thinks he’s doing alright in life, with his family at his side and a job he loves. Despite his family’s concerns he remains adamant that he doesn’t need a mate, afraid to take the risk of letting anyone close enough to try to hurt his family again. That is until he realizes that his true mate has been right under his nose for years, and that now through his inaction he may lose him.]

To successfully complete his secret radar project without getting fired, to get a cottage on the Moon, and to untangle his mess of feelings for Moon Station 3 deputy, Derek Hale. Heck, he’ll even settle for two of the three.]
Alpha Spikes by starbeast [Alphas are like royalty and are offered their choice of any age eighteen-and-up virgin Omega for each year’s heat season, as a ‘thank-you’ to all they’ve done for their compounds throughout the year. Derek is an Alpha and…yeah, Stiles. Stiles is an Omega. And still a virgin. In every way. And he’s just turned eighteen. This…is not his day.]

headlong (I’m falling in a) by hito [When Stiles goes to college, for some reason, he has to share an apartment with Derek, which sucks, because Derek still hates him the most. They fall in love.]
Gravity’s Got Nothing on You by zosofi [“Three weeks,” Derek says. “Still don’t want to,” Stiles says. “I’ll pay you,” Derek says, and that… that has Stiles interested. Alf’s Antique’s may be a great job, but it’s not a high-paying job, and half of Stiles’s tuition is coming from financial aid, so… “How much,” Stiles asks, “are we talking here? Because I know your family, dude. And it’ll be kind of awkward after.“ “My family thinks you’re some sort of fucking gift to the world,” Derek seethes, like he’s jealous, “they’ll probably be pissed at me when we break it off, so don’t worry about that. Five hundred bucks.” “A thousand,” Stiles says, because screw ethics. Also, the Hale family is loaded. Derek can deal.]
this is very much a work in progress list
THIS IS A THING OF LOVE AND BEAUTY
