"You once told me that death isn't about you. It's about the people you leave behind," she reminisces with tears in her eyes. She's desperate, pleading. Stiles, for once, suddenly wishes she didn't pay any heed to his words back then. "Don't make me the one left behind."

For the first time since this whole debacle started, Stiles understands her. He understands her more than he'd like to admit. He thinks about if their situations were reversed, and he was in her position. He too would do anything to protect her. He only wishes she loved him just a little bit less, so he could selfishly spend the rest of his days with her. Instead, he's standing in front of a small woman with more love in her heart - for him, and only him - than he ever could've anticipated.

So, stupidly, he lets her go.

-

In which Stiles and Lydia separate, mourn, pine, and find their way back to one another. Canon-compliant fix-it fic. Pre, during, and post movie.

Stiles and Lydia have been friends for years, since the beginning of high school when they met at BHHS. However different that they may be - Lydia, Beacon Hills own sweetheart with her book smarts and musical inclination; and Stiles, the typical rough-around-the-edges smartass born with a silver spoon in his mouth - they've always had a unique understanding of one another. Even more so, a weakness. At this point in their lives, they're just trying to make their bones in the world. Being an early twenty-something is its own struggle. Stiles is in college, pursuing photography and living in the finest apartment building on campus; his dad wouldn't have it any other way. Lydia is working as a bank teller, still living with her ever-unhappy parents and constantly putting up with the charade of trying to be everyone's perfect little helper. She just can't seem to find something she's passionate enough about to do for the rest of her life. One night, when Stiles is the only one Lydia has to turn to, things change. But can it be for the better? I CLAIM NO RIGHTS TO THE IMAGES USED, TEEN WOLF, OR THE CHARACTERS. I made up a name for Lydia's father because he appears so little in the show, his name isn't actually listed anywhere that I can find. I honestly just picked one that sounded like a dad name, so anyone that may have the same name is pure coincidence.
