Derek only started getting the dreams a few years ago, and he knows what it means, his soulmate is younger than him. Laura teases him incessantly about it, but Derek doesn’t pay her any mind. The dreams are fuzzy at best, he only has a fleeting glimpse of plaid shirts and laughter and a pink mouth. As Laura and he start on their roadtrip back to California from New York, the dreams start to get clearer. Every state they cross, Derek can see the outline of his soulmate get more defined, knows that he has brown eyes, a gorgeous smile and fluffy hair that looks soft to touch.

They’ve known about the other pack for quite some time now. They know the pack is young and small, formed together more by accident and necessity than anything else. But, they haven’t done anything about them because they’ve been fairly quiet, kept to themselves, and haven’t caused any trouble. That is until the Hales start hearing rumors about the McCall pack acquiring a very young and inexperienced but powerful witch. So Alpha Hale sends her eldest son, Derek, for all intents and purposes, to spy on the McCall pack and their so-called witch, to see what the truth of the situation is. *Title comes from slightly altered lyrics of "Furr" by Blitzen Trapper.

It’s not the greatest job in the world, but someone’s gotta do it. And Stiles makes the most of it, okay? Writing captions for the live broadcasts as well as helping run and write the copy for the online news stories can get rather tedious and boring, but Stiles tries his best to keep himself entertained. Slipping in a movie or comic book reference inside a human interest story just to see if someone comments about it, putting up a funny headline to see if someone catches it and puts it up on reddit, you know harmless things that to the casual viewer and reader will go unnoticed but to those that actually pay attention, they might get a kick out of it. Recently though, he maybe has been… abusing his power. *Cover created by bleep0bleep.tumblr.com

This is such a last-resort, last-ditch effort, oh my God. If he wasn't desperate, he'd be absolutely against this plan. This is a terrible, terrible plan. But it's the only one they've got, after the Alpha pack killed most everyone (His /dad/--! Scott!). At this point, the only way to fix this, any of this, is to go back. Back all the way to the beginning. Back to before Kate Argent sets the fire that kills the Hale pack.
