Summary
Derek Hale has always known two things about himself: He's not good at making people like him, and he's going to be his sister's second for the Sacramento pack. But when a random assignment leads him to be the new alpha of Beacon Hills, dealing with far too big shoes to fill and a new pack orphan that everyone listens to far more than they do him, he thinks it's his big chance to finally prove his worth to his mother. Besides, it's not forever, is it?
Stiles Stilinski has always known two things about himself, too: Being the son of the alpha is a Big Job, and it's his to do, and one day, his mate will be the next alpha of his mother's pack. But when his parents are murdered, and some growly man with expressive eyebrows unwillingly takes her place, he's got two choices: keep glaring at Derek or teach him to man up. At least until he's found a replacement. How long could that take?
This is a story about building a pack, finding a home and cuddling with a dog. It's mostly about the dog.

Summary
He knew he’d handled it badly.
Not like he knew any other way to handle this kind of thing, Derek thought, only a little bitter.
But Derek had heard the word Emissary come out of Scott’s mouth, and had immediately vetoed it with extreme prejudice.
It was like he wanted Scott to set his jaw and ignore Derek’s input. Honestly.
But Stiles- Derek had thought that at the very least, Stiles would listen. That their relationship meant enough that Stiles would hear him out before deciding.
Derek had thought wrong.

= 1 Craigslist ad headline that reads "str8 dude - m4m - strictly platonic".

Summary
Tragedy strikes and Derek would do anything to help Stiles get better. If that means leaving town together with no specific destination in mind? So be it.
