Summary
“You need to help me,” Stiles says eventually. He’s still in too much pain to move off the floor, but he’s picked up a stray feather, twirling it between two fingers with a look of pure terror on his face. Peter nods immediately, eager and willing to be involved in whatever this is.
Peter’s eyes flick between the feather spinning between Stiles’ fingers and the harsh angle of the bend of his wings above his shoulders. He doesn’t look like any picture of an angel Peter has ever seen. There should be an elegant swooping curve there, neat little rows of white or gold or silver, pointed tips flung far out from Stiles’ body and a halo above his head. If Stiles is an angel, the myths are all wrong.
In which Stiles finds that he has wings and Peter finds that a pack doesn't always need to be made up of wolves.

Summary
Sequel to Falling In, Not Through.
He thinks about the last time he saw his mate, blood bubbling up through his slack lips, hands clenching Stiles’ shoulder and cupping the back of his head. He thinks about how Peter’s eyes widened in shock even though he knew the blow was coming—how his eyes faded from Alpha red to clear blue in his last moments.
Stiles thinks about how Peter died human, felled with an immortal weapon wielded by a myth.
With an almighty screech that rattles the windows and calls out to the ancient ones, Stiles’ fingers curl around the feather as he brings his split-knuckled fist down on the sigil. Breaking skin one last time, Stiles feels his wrist bones shatter as a blinding white light envelops him.
