Insanus Carcerum. That's where Stiles finds himself after Scott's betrayal. He has no one now. At least, it doesn't seem like it. Although...the curly haired boy he rooms with could be someone he can have. This is assuming they make it out alive.
F...
The Nemeton clearing is where Stiles spends quite a bit of time these days. Today he climbs into the nest inside the Nemeton's trunk and lies back. His mind drifts towards the last ten years, as his spark slips into the earth's ley lines.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Over the course of the last decade a lot has changed even though not much has. They expanded their territory, and it took the three sparks two months to cover every inch of it with their protection.
Eris has gotten more connected to Stiles and sometimes she'll join him back at the pack house. Though it took a few years for her to be comfortable enough to do so. When she does come back to the pack house with him, she shifts her shadows into a small kitten. He's told her it's unnecessary, but she insists. Eris is still magic after all, and the last thing she wants is for anyone to see her as a threat. So, she acts as his familiar which Stiles absolutely loves and is honored by. The bonding ceremony between a spark and a familiar is rare to see but also sacred. The pack rejoiced for them.
Isaac and Stiles got married three months after Noah was born. Stiles's ring matches his mate's ring with three sections, the outer two obsidian and the middle section is made up of lapis lazuli gems with an inscription on the inside.

It was a beautiful ceremony held in the Nemeton's clearing under the light of the full moon. It was simple and it was intimate. They became Stiles and Isaac Hale. Isaac had told his mate that he did not want to keep or hyphen his uncle's last name. The entire evening was perfect.
Both of them decided on a short honeymoon in New Zealand because Stiles had always wanted to see where Lord of the Rings was filmed. Isaac was thrilled and then asked to perhaps also stop for a few nights in Paris. They spent a week in both places, and it was wonderful.
When they returned it was to discover another home had been built for them and their growing family. They didn't say a word to each other but were thinking the exact same thing. Claudia dutifully looked after Noah who Felix absolutely adored and still does, while the two newlyweds christened their new home.
Cora and Jordan mated. Kira and Allison mated. Jackson and Amelia mated. Theo is in a poly relationship with Jackson and Amelia. Vira had been on the fence about mating, but she did decide to settle down with Lou–yes that Lou–the piercer and tattoo artist. They make a badass couple and surprisingly Lou wanted to join Stiles's pack and with Lou came Vira. Stiles was more than okay with that.
Peter has never been a super strict alpha and when certain betas wanted to join his son's pack, he didn't stop them. For the time being Mischief's pack is a sub pack within the Hale Pack. It will remain as such until it is time for Peter to step down and Stiles hopes that is still years away.
Malia, Harley and Helix have not yet mated but they don't have any interest in doing so. They will however absolutely dote on all the pups as well as offer to babysit whenever their parents need them to or just because.
