    Summary

    Latibule: (noun.) A hiding place; a place or person of safety and comfort

    Stiles is at college, in his second year of study, trying to navigate being a broke student, being away from his home town, and being kicked out of his pack.
    Stiles is prepared, feeling less off balance than his previous year at college, he's excited, even, ready to get through as much as possible. And, he is almost over the guilt and shame and heartbreak that came with the whole getting kicked out of his pack thing. Yes, he still has a crush on Derek, but he has had a crush on Derek since he was 16, and now at 21, he's pretty sure he can manage.
    What happens when Stiles's new Folklore & Anthropology professor turns out to be Derek Hale, the one who kicked him from the pack 2 years earlier? What happens when Stiles is so utterly convinced that Derek hates him that he can't read between the lines of what the werewolf is trying to tell him?
    Read to find out ;)

    Summary

    The sheriff's son was home for the holidays and wreaking havoc on Beacon Hills. Deputy Derek Hale didn't know why he was always the one sent to deal with it, but he just wanted to do his job well and stay professional. Definitely no confusing or downright distracting feelings involved here. Right?

    Summary

    “They are wolves, Derek, wolves!”

    “I know.”

    “They—” Stiles choked and focused his gaze on the alpha. “W-what?”

    Amidst the rubble, the groaning building, the wailing, and the scent of burning metal, Derek looked calm. The alpha ascended one step, closer to Stiles. “My love, listen to me—”

    “What is going on?” Stiles’ throat dried.

    “I said, listen.”

    The omega’s mouth clamped shut, his lips trembling. The muscles in Derek’s jaw bulged as if he struggled to stay still.

    “I am taking you hostage.”

    Stiles’ chest stilled. His lips parted. He went completely stiff, watching Derek’s lips move, but the words made no sense.

    “Derek…” he murmured hoarsely, shaking his head. “What…”

    “I am not going to hurt you.” Derek’s voice went hard as steel. He spread his arms as if showing the lack of armor. “But you are coming with me. It is an order. Do you understand me?”

    Stiles shifted his gaze from his mouth to his eyes and flinched back.

    They were red. Burgundy, like the blood splatters marring his face.

    And just like that, everything became clear.

    Summary

    Stiles goes looking for Boyd and Erica and finds something else entirely.

    ~~~

    Derek scowls and steps closer, "What are you doing out here?" he counters and Stiles rolls his eyes, exasperation burning through him.

    "Looking for Erica and Boyd," he retorts, "Chris let them go and said they headed this direction, so I'm trying to find some sign of them," he explains tightly, guilt running through him once more that he'd done so little to try and free them. He'd told Derek about their capture at the warehouse, after everything had died down, but it didn't feel like enough.

    Derek's scowl twists into confusion and he shifts uneasily, "Why are you looking for them? You aren't pack, you barely liked them," he says and Stiles sort of wants to punch him for that, but he also knows it's a little true—he's been resistant to joining Derek's pack, and hasn't exactly gotten along with the betas, but still, that doesn't mean he wants them gone.

    "Because I was in that basement too, remember?" he demands, turning his cheek a little so his bruises are more apparent, watching as Derek's gaze lingers there for a long moment, his jaw working harshly before he looks away and nods.

    Summary

    The housing thing is a nightmare pretty much everywhere in California—but especially the bay. Since Stiles hasn’t managed to snag himself a rich partner to pay his bills yet, he’s used to roommates. Housemates. He actually hasn’t lived on his own…ever. He went from his dad’s house to college dorms to crowded apartments. He’s been living with Scott since they were 19, and now that they’re grown, they rent a house with two other guys they met online. There were many hours spent rifling through Craigslist before they found Derek and Isaac, but it was worth it.

    -0-

    Derek, Isaac, Scott, and Stiles rent a house together. Over a year that sees them deal with Derek's troublesome (ex)girlfriend, Stiles' amusing reputation with local singles, and a friendly wager over which housemate is the best kisser, Derek and Stiles fall in love.

    Summary

    The Alpha looked confused and concerned all at the same time, so taking an educated guess, Stiles ventured a theory.

    “Oh great. Let me guess… We’re lost aren’t we?”

    Derek growled at the insult and continued to scan the trees, rocks and stumps around them.

    “We’re not lost, Stiles. The landscape has… changed.”

    “Changed?” Stiles repeated in disbelief, before intentionally wandering in front of the werewolf to block his view. “As in, the trees just grew legs and walked away?”

    Summary

    Since the Nogitsune, Stiles had felt people were avoiding him. Scott hadn’t been able to look him in the eyes and all Stiles had were the nightmares to keep him company.

    But when a new creature starts to go bump in the night in Beacon Hills, Stiles finds himself leaning on Derek more and more as the lines between friend and foe, safety and threat, and the known and the unknown blur in the dim light of dusk.

    Stiles usually spent the holidays by himself, and this Christmas Eve seemed like it would pass like any other. But then a strange, insistent pull stirred in his chest, and before he could stop himself, he was drawn directly to a bleeding stranger and into a world he was never meant to see.

    Stiles burst into the employees’ lounge wearing coffee on his jacket and stars in his eyes.

    “Today I met the man I’m going to marry,” he announced as he threw open his locker door.

    Scott frowned as he worked the ends of his tie into a knot. “Is that a song from the new Taylor Swift album?”

    Summary

    "You know the rules, guys."

    Stiles looks up, and sure enough there's a little sprig of plastic mistletoe fixed above the door, just like there has been every year since Stiles and Scott had decided that it would be awesome if their parents got together so they could be actual brothers, and mistletoe was a surefire method of making that happen. It hadn't worked, but the tradition had persisted.

    He's already mentally making his excuses, but before he can voice any of them Derek is leaning in to brush his lips gently against Stiles', catching Stiles' bottom lip between his own in a brief but unmistakable kiss.

    "Merry Christmas, Stiles," he murmurs, sliding past Stiles and striding off down the driveway, his hand raised in a wave goodbye in Scott's general direction.

    Summary

    Stiles hadn’t slept in a while; everything was sort of blurring together. Which is probably a factor in his next decision.

    To fight the wolf.

    Or, well, confront it.

    Put an end to the madness. It’d get the hint, or it would finally eat Stiles and be done with it.

    That’s why Stiles was currently in the woods at night, armed with a flashlight and his dad’s pistol.

    He cannot stress how much he’s regretting it.

    Or…

    Stiles is being stalked by a wolf.

    Summary

    Sometimes, Stiles thought about telling him. It wasn’t even a thought, but a fantasy of him kissing Derek first thing in the morning and kissing him goodnight, of not going into separate bedrooms after a tiring day. He dreamed of making that one step further and putting not only his chin on Derek’s shoulder when the wolf cooked breakfast, but his hands around Derek’s waist, dreamed of taking his hand and threading their fingers, dreamed of kisses and sex and shared life.

    It wasn’t this young puppy love. It wasn’t lust, though it was there. It was a years-long, deep, chronic ache. Bittersweet. Overwhelming. Sometimes, it didn’t let Stiles breathe, and other times it was the only thing that made him do it.

    Stiles’ confession would destroy them, but not Derek. Because Derek would get up and lift his chin again.

    If the alpha was brave enough to cover Stiles’ body from an imminent threat, then maybe it was time for Stiles to get brave, as well. The wounds may never close, but if Derek rejected him… it wouldn’t matter.

    Nothing ever would.

    Summary

    The soft notes of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas float out from the kitchen, so low that Stiles hadn't even realized that there was music on until just that second. It barely even reaches the chorus, though, before the din picks up once again, Scott and Kira's laughter like a starting gun that has everyone talking about the year gone by, the year to come, and who's got plans for New Years Eve.

    It's perfect.
