The Bodies of the Girls Who Made Me: Fanfic and the Modern World

msilverstar:

Wonderful essay, including

(I honestly think the reason so many fanfic writers are women/girls
[or gay, or gender-noncomforting, or some combination of the above] is a
mixture of social stigma [“ew, fanfic is a GIRLY thing, ew, it’s all
PORN, and most of it is GAY PORN”] and seeking a way to empathize with
The Default. I also think this contributes to the prevalence of
male/male couples in fanfic even when written by authors who identify as
straight: by being only The Default, we move away from the “ew icky girls” reactions. But that’s another conversation.)

So you have generations—literal, multiple generations—of
largely female authors growing up steeped in fanfic. Making our own
stories from high school on, if not before. Trying to find our way to a
schema of story that actually fits us.

(You also have generations of queer authors, trans authors, and
gender-nonconforming authors, all going on their own journeys. My
sexuality definitely influenced my attraction to fanfic, because
finally, I wasn’t being judged for it.)

The Bodies of the Girls Who Made Me: Fanfic and the Modern World

Carrie I’m so freaking sad right now. Do you have any sort of fluffy-smutty sterek?

bleep0bleep:

oh nooo bb i hope this will cheer you up! here are some great fics that are sexy and have fluffytimes and happy endings

  • Around The Bend by lupinius, uraneia (E, 15k) The first time Derek catches sight of the new yoga instructor, Stiles is in the middle of showing a class how to do downward-facing dog. Derek walks into a wall.Things don’t exactly improve from there. Derek can’t stop staring at Stiles, the bendy new yoga instructor at his family’s gym. Stiles thinks Derek’s a repressed homophobe who hates Stiles for making him want the D. They fall in love.
  • But Then What… by Stoney (E, 24k) Senior year is almost over, and all Stiles needs to do is keep his head down to survive. A teacher calls in a favor, leaving him stuck tutoring Derek Hale, one of the most popular jocks in school and a member of a group of douchecanoes who have bullied Stiles for years. He’s someone Stiles totally hates. Totally. Like, doesn’t like him even a little bit. DEFINITELY isn’t attracted to him. Except that is a total lie. Fuck his life, seriously.
  • come on, tear me apart by trilliastra (E, 4k) “Why were you thinking about my tattoo, Stiles?” He asks, making Stiles swallow and lick his lips nervously, only to be more confused when Derek follows the movement with his eyes. Oh. So he’s not making things up. It’s mutual. Awesome. 
  • Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon by secondstar (E, 21k) 

    Being a teenager sucks. Being a werewolf teenager sucks even more. With a life full of holding back who he really is, not having any privacy whatsoever, and the seemingly sudden appearance of one Stiles Stilinski, Derek Hale’s life just got a whole lot harder.

  • State of the Union by drunktuesdays (E, 2k) drunktuesdays: what am I going to NAME it? drlense: “Knot’s Entertainment?” drlense: “Knot’s Landing?” drlense: “Short attention span but a really stretched out Anus?” drlense: “My boyfriend does Knot pay attention?”

  • Knot if You Don’t Knock by jsea, marguerite_26 (E, 14k) Stiles never expects to present as an omega — that’s something that happens to people like Greenberg, not him. He is so wrong. His life only gets stranger when Derek Hale mistakenly bursts through the door of his exam room during a doctor’s appointment. What happens next is a complicated series of events, including freshly baked cookies, book-carrying and surprise heats.
  • The Alexandrian Solution by Bexless (E, 5k) “I accept your body!” Stiles says hurriedly. “I accept you. Sexually.” There is a pause. Derek says, “Thanks.”

  • Never Did Run Smooth by blacktofade, siredtosourwolf (E, 34k) Medieval Chasing Liberty AU: As the only son of King Stilinski, Stiles doesn’t have a lot of freedom, but he doesn’t let that stop him from traveling for days to the biggest festival of the season with a begrudging stranger, Derek.
  • What’s Up, Pinocchio? by Brego_Mellon_Nin (E, 12k) Stiles knows his dick, okay? He knows it well. He knows how long it is, how thick it is – measuring is a normal thing for a curious teenager, it really is – but somehow, that’s not true anymore.

Can you update the Alpha Derek tag please ? Thank you so much !! 💞

Wasn’t sure if you meant it in like “red eyes and roars” or a/b/o so this is a little mix of both 🙂 Enjoy!!

A/B/O Dynamics 

Sweet Buns by skoosiepants (1/1 | 17,936 | PG-13)

Stiles hasn’t seen Derek Hale this close up for over a decade. He looks almost exactly the same, except somehow he seems even bigger and broodier—criminally handsome, with soft-looking dark scruff, heavy brows, light hazel eyes. His gaze zeros in on Stiles almost immediately, and his scowl lightens minutely in what looks like surprise.

Stiles is acutely aware that he has melted butter and cinnamon all over his face, and tries to surreptitiously wipe it with the ends of his sweater-sleeve.

The a/b/o bakery au with feelings

Something Whole by isabelbarret (8/8 | 78,014 | NC-17)

Stiles is stolen away from his home and forced to work for the Hale army. He ends up at a manor where he lives at the edge of the war between the Hales and the Argents. Stiles gets wrapped up in rumors about secret princes, magic and possibly a spy. A handsome alpha who he finds himself hopelessly attracted to is the last thing he wants. 

A Little Less Conversation by Lissadiane (1/1 | 5,626 | G)

Derek has learned to be a good Alpha in most of the ways that count. The problem is, now that he’s well-adjusted, safe, and happy, it’s time to turn his attention to the one thing he’s always sucked at: finding a nice, sweet Omega mate.

Lucky for him, Erica and Stiles have ideas on how to make that as painless as possible.

In which Derek Hale is a failwolf and somehow, ends up going speed dating.

Red Eyes and Roars 

Blessed by red_crate (1/1 | 5,623 | PG-13)

The magic within him swells as he closes the circle. It’s fed by Derek’s sacrifice, his promise to provide and protect his pack.

Stiles concentrates on the thick web of bond connecting each person to the other and back to Derek. His own threads are bright in his mind, distracting where the thickest leads right back to Derek, to his alpha, to…

When he comes back around, Stiles is standing in front of Derek. The red of Derek’s eyes glow, and his expression is solemn. Stiles can feel the excitement, the hope, radiating from him.

these bonds are hard to let go by mak (cold_blue_eyes) (7/7 | 50,941 | PG-13)

Stiles was young when he found out he could do magic, that he was a witch. But living as an only son left him with too much time on his hands, which is why he decided to use his magic to create something he wasn’t even sure it was possible in the first place. Alone in the woods, the young Stiles lost himself to magic, but someone found him. Someone saved him.

It was a wolf.

Offer Your Throat (to the Wolf with the Red Roses) by Fearful_Little_Thing (4/4 | 30,320 | NC-17)

That night in the woods Derek killed his uncle and saved a boy named Stiles. Since then he’s felt a connection to the boy, like they’re meant to be together, like Stiles belongs to him. He’s brave, and smart, and everything a newly made alpha could ever want… And Derek needs to be close to him.

And a personal favorite 😉

Where You Still Remember Dreaming by yodasyoyo (15/15 | 95,600 | NC-17)

“What’s your name? I can’t keep calling you Balto.”

“What’s yours?”

“Stiles.”

Derek raises an eyebrow. That isn’t his real name. There’s no way. But now he thinks about it, he has a vague memory of someone, probably Uncle Peter, telling him that with the fae, names have power. “I’m Miguel,” he says.

“Lie.”

“Are you trying to tell me your real name is Stiles?”

Stiles runs his tongue across his teeth and considers Derek carefully. “Fair enough,” he says, “Miguel it is.”

Grabbing his groceries and pocketing the change, Derek turns to leave; he’s nearly at the door when Stiles calls out, “By the way, Miguel, if you’re interested, it’s two for one on bags of kibble at the pet store down the street.”

Derek doesn’t look back, doesn’t hesitate, just raises a hand and flips him off on the way out.

Sterek Week 2015 – THE HUNTER’S MOON

It was said, ever since Derek was a child, that the Hunter’s Moon was terrible. His Great-Grandma used to say that under the Hunter’s Moon, wolves would die, battles would start, blood would be shed. She used to say that love met under the Hunter’s Moon would never last. Granny Hale would always have this look on her face when she said that, before patting Derek in the cheek and saying “My poor boy… This moon will be most unforgivable to you”, and then crying.

Derek never paid much attention though, because what did his great-grandmother know anyway? Except she apparently did know a lot. He didn’t meet Kate under a Hunter’s Moon, but she burned his family alive under. Laura died in a full moon in October. It was apparently truth.

And then there’s Stiles. He feels a tug in his heart, an instant of magnetic attraction that goes beyond looks. He knows right then and there, that Stiles will be special to him. So very special.

They meet under a Hunter’s Moon. With Stiles has a bow pointed to Derek’s heart, promising to shoot if he moved.

Stiles is a hunter. Another hunter in Derek’s life. This time one who’s possibly his soulmate.

As Derek stares Stiles’ fingers slowly letting go of the bowstring, he wonders if his Granny Hale was right after all.

But as Stiles lowers his bow, body trembling, and snarls for Derek to run, he hopes against hope for a chance. Just one chance to make it different.

I DID IT

One day. ONE DAY. I spent the whole morning coloring this thing to prove to myself it IS POSSIBLE for me to finish a complete illustration from start to finish.

My butt is totally NUMB and I’ve had WAY TOO MANY cups of coffee but it was WORTH IT!!!

Here’s the description (and I wanna preface this by saying I’m only halfway through the first book, so if I got something horribly wrong FORGIVE ME):

Derek Hale (of the Wolfswood) is tasked with keeping an eye on the young Lordling Stiles from Riverrun. With him is his ever-present direwolf, Fenris (idk if they have that sort of mythology yet, but I like the name). He’s surprised at Stiles’ tenacity to keep up with him, and is beginning to think he’d bit off more than he could chew when he’d agreed to take up guard duty from his sister, Laura (and her wolf, Skol). The Hale’s sigil is a gold triskele on a dark brown field. It is rumored that their family is as old as the Wall, and can be as vicious as the direwolves that flank their sides.
