+ 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.”
fslkjfslkj the jealousy and intelligence in this fic is most excellent
+ What's Ours is Ours by sofonisba_found
Derek and Stiles never had sex outside of their respective Heats. After all, it wasn't like they were actually together; Stiles just hated the way the Omega suppressants made him feel, and so Derek was helping him out. That was all it was.
Even if it wasn't close to all that Derek really wanted, that's what it was.
Oh idiot boys are my favorites ever.

Duuuuude. HICKEYS.
+ Alpha Spikes byy starbeast
AU. 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.
The best thing about fandom is that there are Alpha/Beta/Omega dynamics and they are wonderful!
+ 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.
When the boys banter, they are always my favorites. Always.
+ The Littlest Alpha by triedunture
Derek and Stiles have taken out the Alpha Pack and pretty much saved the world. Okay, the town. Okay, their remaining friends. But the Alphas left something behind: a baby. And this baby is an Alpha too. Derek is determined to take care of the abandoned child, and Stiles is stuck going along for the ride.
But Stiles doesn't expect the ride to include seeing another side of Derek, or to find another way to say "family."
Ahhh, kid!fic ftw :D
+ 5 times the Sheriff saw something and the one time Sterek did by Slayer_of_Destiny
The developing relationship of Sterek as seen through the eyes of the Sheriff for the first five chapters and then one of Sterek. Humour in bits, and a possible need to visit a dentist at the end.
Angst + schmoop + humor = wonderful.
+ Hide of a Life War by Etharei
“We have received confirmation that there is a hostage situation in progress at a warehouse compound two hours out of Los Angeles, following a multiple-vehicle pileup on Highway 101 this morning...”
The one in which Stiles has lived to (legal) adulthood and, along the way, become a bit of a badass himself.
Another thing that is awesome is BAMF!Stiles :D
+ 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.
Heee more fake!boyfriends. They make me think of elless18 who made me love that trope :)
+ 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.
This made me want to roll around in this fic. It's glorious and lovely.


My back's been killing me for THREE weeks. uuuuuuuuuuuugh.
