I’m so upset right now. I’m writing another Sterek fic and it’s like famously known in the fandom that Derek Hale was underage when the fire happened (usually between 15-17 depending on the book). I went to look up how much older Kate Argent is than Derek and found out from the fandom that apparently Derek was *not* underage, he was 18 when Kate seduced him and used him to burn his family alive. Like??? Why is it in every single fic I’ve read that Derek is underage then?? Ughhhh. You know what? Screw it. I’m gonna try to block out ‘canon’ and use what everyone else says instead. Cause it changes my story if he’s not underage so fuckk it. Jeff Davis, fellow Sterek authors, why do you do this?
