imaginarylifetimes:

I’ve just started working through the Sterek Summer Spectacle 2016 fics, so there’s a few of them this week. I anticipate many more in the next fic rec 🙂  Have a great weekend everyone!

 

The Curve of Your Clavicle by WhoNatural  | 6.2K | T | Derek/Stiles

Derek isn’t an uptight person – seriously, for an alpha, he’s downright laid-back – but something about Stilinski makes him want to bare his teeth and grasp him by the scruff and bite.

No, not bite. That would be incredibly inappropriate, of course – and Derek plus the legal department are aware of that. Anyway, the point is, Stilinski needs to be kept in line.

Or, wherein Derek’s office rival might be the same person keeping him sane at night when the loneliness hits.

What’s your damage? by ElisAttack  | 8.6K | M | Derek/Stiles

Instead of ‘when superheroes need help, they call us,’ Stiles thinks their slogan should be ‘when the superheroes inevitably screw up, we save the day.’ Because that’s what superheroes do, screw up, inevitably.

Regular old folk think it’s the villains that go around declaring world domination and destroying cities, but it isn’t. Stiles has worked for Damage Control going on six years, and if he’s learned one thing during those long days, and even longer nights of shoveling debris, and chopping trees split down the middle from lightning bolts, courtesy of thunder gods, it’s that the heroes do the most damage.

Or the one where Stiles and his crew are sent across the country to repair Derek’s bistro, and end up catching a saboteur.

Our Puddle is Deceptively Deep by calrissian18  | 10K | E | Derek/Stiles

They start out in a literal tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G.

Apathy, Apathy, You’ll be the Death of Me by calrissian18  | 11.7K | M | Derek/Stiles

Everyone’s apathetic. Except Derek. Derek cares so much.

or

Boyd is a pragmatic posthumous reappropriater, Erica spends her free time impersonating Meursault and playing Fruit Ninja, Isaac would like everyone to settle down already, Stiles is bi, Scott’s actually holding it together pretty well for a week-old Alpha with a two pack problem, Jackson’s a lizard, Lydia accessorizes, Allison’s playing on a rival (semi-murderous) team and Derek just keeps showing up.

Coffee & Promises by SuperfluousEmi, Winchesterek  | 12.7K | E | Derek/Stiles

After Stiles spills his coffee all over coffee-machine-cutie Derek, they meet for nightly coffee breaks while their kids undergo treatment in the cancer ward. The relationship they weren’t looking for deepens into a source of strength and hope.

love is waiting til we’re ready by tattooedsiren  | 23.2K | M | Derek/Stiles

When Derek passes the ‘Welcome to Beacon Hills’ sign the weight that had lifted three years ago resettles on his shoulders as if it was never gone.

Scott had asked him to come back, promising that things were different now. He spoke in a rushed out breath about how much safer the town was compared to when he left. And when Derek asked why, if that was the case, the town needed him at all, Scott had replied with, “Because there are still people here that I care about, and if I can’t protect them then I want to know that someone I trust will be here to.”

Secondhand Soulmate by AnnoyinglyCute, Inell  | 25.2K | T | Derek/Stiles

Not always, not even most of the time, but sometimes – 24% of the time, statistically speaking – people meet their soulmates and live happily ever after.

THIS isn’t that story.

This is the story of Stiles Stilinski, whose soulmate died before he was born. This is the story of all the sorrows and heartache Stiles experienced, all the bullying and oppression from those who should know better but didn’t. This is also the story of the friendships Stiles made along the way, of the battles he fought – and won – and the love that endured through it all.

A Bridge of Silver Wings by SuperfluousEmi, Winchesterek  | 25.2K | E | Derek/Stiles

Stiles moves back to Beacon Hills with his young daughter Eva to look for a new start. He finds all that and more in Eva’s new daycare teacher, Derek, who in turn discovers the family he didn’t know he was looking for.

Werewolf-Friendly by badwolfbadwolf  | 27.2K | E | Derek/Stiles

Derek is a junior in college, never could get the hang of social interaction, and is, you know, a werewolf. A werewolf and a virgin. And it isn’t like anyone is banging down his door to hop on his werewolf dick, save for the few pervs who acted like he was some kind of exotic toy to be played with and experienced. So, when he sees Stiles’ ad on Hot Men 4 Rent, Derek is… interested.

And who is he kidding, he’s read that bio every day since that sad evening with the chocolate chip cookies, and has every facet of it memorized.

Stiles, no last name. Eighteen. Student. Good conversationalist. Likes to crack jokes. Fan of junk food but enjoys running. Werewolf-friendly. Werewolf-friendly.

And there is his phone number and an email address. Plus all the moles.

Love All by tattooedsiren  | 47.6K | E | Derek/Stiles

When Stiles Stilinksi steps foot onto Court 8 at Roland Garros, it’s everything he’s been dreaming of for the last nine years, and everything his life has been building towards since the first time he held a tennis racquet in his hands fourteen years ago.

It’s kinda funny, Stiles thinks, that his first game in a Grand Slam (that’s right, he’s playing in a freaking Grand Slam) is against a fellow American. Hell, he’s a fellow Californian. Derek Hale is slightly taller than him, his face is stubbled and just as grumpy in real life as he’s seen in numerous photos and video coverage. And yeah, in any other circumstance Stiles might admit that the stubble and general sense of ‘stay the hell away from me’ totally works for him. But right now it’s just intimidating as fuck.

As The Clock Ticks Down by heartsdesire456  | 57.4K | E | Derek/Stiles

It was a strange feeling, knowing he was going to die.

Stiles couldn’t really wrap his head around the idea that he might not even live to see eighteen.

When Stiles discovers that he has stage IV metastatic melanoma, he knows the prognosis is grim. After the start of the best summer of his teen years now that Beacon Hills is peaceful and he and his friends are free from fear, the decision to have a short while longer to live healthy rather than suffer through treatments that would only prolong his life a short while is an easy one. His decision not to tell his father until the end is near is also an easy one. When Derek finds out Stiles is dying and offers to help Stiles enjoy what time he has left, Stiles makes another easy decision to take Derek up on his offer and together they set out on a road trip for one last adventure.

Even if the adventure they share isn’t the one they planned for.

Origins by bioloyg  | 69.5K | E | Derek/Stiles

The person doesn’t respond, instead they move closer at an eerie and unhurried pace, as if there aren’t buckets of water falling to the ground right now. But the rain is probably the least of their concerns because it just bubbles around them, never seeming to actually make contact. It isn’t until they get closer that Stiles realizes he knows the person.

It’s… him. Stiles is looking directly at a mirror of himself.

His chest clenches. They’re only about ten feet away from each other now. Stiles stares at uh – Stiles B – and frantically covers as many of his bases as he can. Did he touch something at Deaton’s? No, and even if he did he’d only been working on a binding spell today, nothing nearly as serious as a duplication spell or call for a golem. Is he awake? Yeah. Well. Wait.

Cathedrals by KarasuYurei, KouriArashi  | 78.6K | T | Magnus/Alec, Derek/Stiles

After the events with Deucalion and Jennifer Blake, Derek goes on a search for his biological family. He, Stiles, and Cora head to New York City to try to find the family he doesn’t remember. It turns out that there was a lot to his adoption that he never knew.

These Woods Sigh by blacktofade  | 80.3K | E | Derek/Stiles

Derek and Stiles never plan to start a family together, it just happens. Or, the one where Derek accidentally wishes for a baby.
