Book One - God, they hate each other. Stiles is so sarcastic, and his mouth always gets him into trouble. Particularly with a certain brooding sour wolf. Unsurprisingly, another threat comes to Beacon Hills in the form of a nogitsune that has taken up residence in the human, and there's only one way to save him. The solution brings about a huge change for the pack, and for Stiles Stilinski. Sterek story < Completed >

Completed Stiles "accidentally" let it slip to a group of very popular girls that he was gay, which really meant he had a master plan to get a hot girlfriend. Stiles "accidentally" bumped into the most popular girl in school, which really meant he wanted her to notice him and his gayness, just so they could become best friends. Stiles "accidentally" made it clear to all of the openly gay boys in school that he was available, which really meant he wanted this whole gay thing to seem real, so Lydia HAD to believe him. Stiles "accidentally" told Derek Hale he'd go to the winter dance with him, which really meant he wanted Lydia to see them together and believe this whole scheme. The only thing Stiles actually did on accident, was fall in love with the captain of the lacrosse team, Derek Hale.

The nightmares haven't stopped. Stiles can't always tell if he's dreaming or awake, and the line between fear and reality keeps getting harder to walk. He thought he could keep it together-keep pretending. But when the weight gets too heavy, it's not Scott he turns to. It's Derek. Quiet, steady, unexpectedly safe. He didn't plan for this-whatever this is. But maybe, for once, something real is waiting for him when he finally wakes up. --- *DISCLAIMER* Stiles is 18 and Derek is 22, this is fiction and AU so don't come in the comments about it let me have my delusions

Derek hasn't had the best track record when it comes to relationships. He is broken and he has yet to realize his worth. Sometimes we need to see ourselves from the eyes of the people we love to know we matter. It's about finding the strength to be the person/wolf you are meant to be. Set after the house fire, Peter is alive, Derek has an established pack but has not met Stiles yet. Might be triggering to some. Depression. Anxiety. Self-hate.
