When another pack of werewolves descends on Beacon Hills months after the kanima incident Stiles knows that none of them are prepared for it. As people start dying it becomes obvious that something has to be done if they want to survive – they have to unite. And Stiles is determined to see it happen.
He just hopes that it will be in time to save those he cares about.
OR: my take on season 3 – written before it was aired – without the Alpha Pack.

“So he’s in? It’s all settled? Woo-hoo. He’ll be here for pack meetings.” They only know about those through Isaac, who has been trying to convince Scott to join Derek’s pack with his sad, SPCA commercial worthy puppy faces every time they see him in the locker room, their chemistry class, and the cafeteria.
Derek tilts his head to the side. “Yeah. He’s in.”
“Cool.” Stiles lightly pushes Scott’s shoulder. He still looks like he drank pure lemon juice laced with wolfsbane. Oh, well. The love would come in good time. Hopefully. “And we’re off. Bye, Derek.”
“And you’re in too,” Derek says as soon as they turn their backs to him.
Being a sheriff’s kid, Stiles had seen and heard a lot about the crazy things drugs did to people. His classmates got Dymo the Drug Buster Dog and nifty D.A.R.E. keychains. He got graphic pictures of meth addicts’ teeth and primary testimonies from former heroin users and a new set of nightmares to go along with them. During one of his many late night insomnia-induced Wikipedia binges, he cataloged and crossed referenced effects of cocaine, Ecstasy, and a number of other commonly abused substances. All very interesting, all very scary. And he certainly knows what it’s like to be under the influence of wolfsbane (the horrible, horrible influence). The point is, Stiles feels he has a good grasp on the concept of “tripping balls,” given to him by both extensive research and limited experience.
Derek’s not sure if there’s a way to explain that he left because Beacon Hills didn’t need him, not when it had Scott and his pack; and that they were better off without him- an omega whose anchor was slipping.
Mostly he wonders if any of them really even noticed he was gone.
It’s dark and it’s cold and it’s gray and he kicks off his shoes and he clothes and he curls up on his little bed and he stares up at the sloped ceiling and he breathes, because this is the place he always comes to catch his breath after a long shift, only this time, the air seems to rattle in his lungs, like his chest is empty too.
But he sleeps, a deep, dreamless sleep, and hopes it will be better when he wakes.
In which Stiles is sad and lonely until the day he finds a dog that’s just as lost as he is.
They’ve been gone about 15 minutes when Stiles feels it, it’s like someone’s turned up the volume on his jitters. He begins to tap the steering wheel with his index fingers, and soon his leg is bouncing up and down against the floor too. He wonders how far away the pack is, and holy hell, was that something moving over near that tree?
He grinds his teeth together and lets out an annoyed puff of air, muttering “Stay in the car they said, you’ll be safer in the car they said…” He wonders why the hell he listens to anything any of them say. Ever. He slouches lower into his seat, eyes alert and roving his surroundings. For a minute he’s actually beginning to think he imagined it. Then he hears a thud on the roof of the jeep.
musician AU where Stiles Stilinski is a completely graceless, all over the place at shows, and everywhere, clumsy as fuck, likes to pick fights when a little drunk musician
and Derek is his security/body guard/babysitter etc. who is constantly having small heart attacks as Stiles throws himself into crowds at shows, throws himself into crowds of fans, trips off speakers, stairs, stages at least three times a tour.
Stiles serenading Derek with his ukulele and songs he writes about him. They’re mostly inappropriate.
Derek who is very much in love with him. Obviously.
but ok like, Stiles is well aware that he can be over the top and a lot to handle and it’s kinda been getting him down because he feels like he’s just being a nuisance to the pack and his dad and basically everyone but one night he’s texting Derek (nothing new there) and their doing their normal playful banter but then stiles just receives “I’m going to marry you” text in the middle of a [lighthearted] argument and at first he’s really happy like “wow, YES” but then the dark thoughts come creeping in and ruin his mood so he just responds with “No ones going to marry me I’m a handful” and expects that to be the end of it but what he gets in response is beyond anything he could have expected and for the first time in a while his thoughts don’t drag him out of his happiness
TEEN WOLF HIGH SCHOOL AU (PART 4) | Stiles is working at a Kissing Booth and Derek is supportive
Laura was being annoyingly protective after Birthday Gate—to be fair, it wasn’t like Stiles knew Derek was allergic to chlorine and that pushing Derek into the pool would cause him to break out in hives and eventually result in him having to call his sister to pick him up. Stiles didn’t know!! Laura was convinced that Stiles did it to embarrass Derek but Laura wasn’t there when Stiles handed him his own towel (!!!!!!!) with a furrowed look of concern that hadn’t appeared on Stiles’ face prior to Birthday Gate—and Derek just wanted to help the lacrosse team out, he swears. BHHS pride, support the fundraisers, y’know.
