Summary
Stiles Stillinski, owner of StyleFin LLC, is a professional merman. He swims in artificial tails for magazine ads, music videos, commercials, and most importantly, for promotional work that supports his friend Scott's ocean conservation group. With the help of engineer Lydia Martin, Stiles is growing more and more famous for his hyper-realistic tails as well as his beautiful underwater performances.
Derek and Laura Hale run a salvage operation, diving to sunken ships to retrieve whatever valuables, machinery, or potential pollutents they can remove. Laura decides to use her connections as Stiles' former diving instructor to bring him out to film around one of the wrecks in exchange for plugging the salvage operation in his videos. Derek, being the younger sibling, is naturally stuck with the job of showing Stiles and his friends around.
He just never expected to fall for a merman, professional or otherwise, and he certainly wasn't prepared for the kind of high-profile, very public, life that Stiles leads.

Summary
“It’s not” - Derek cuts off as quickly as he starts, teeth gritting with frustration - “It’s not like the others it’s… There’s a reason I came to your house last.”
Stiles’ eyebrows raise. This is hands down the weirdest Derek has ever acted around him, and it’s making him curious.
“And that reason being…?” He rolls the sleeves of his flannel up to his elbows and leans against his desk to start untying his shoes.
“I need” - Derek grits through clenched teeth - “Your help.”
Stiles just blinks at him, shoes in his hands. “That was excruciating to witness, just so you know.”

Summary
“Our alpha says you saved his life,” the leather clad woman says, and her head tips curiously to the side as if sizing him up. A smirk tugs at her lips, which are a shade of red so dark they’re basically black. She enunciates the words like they personally delight her, “He wants to keep you.”

Summary
“This is stupid,” Derek grumbles in lieu of a response, trying to point his body in a way that’ll keep it from brushing against Stiles' lithe front. He doesn’t succeed in the slightest.
Stiles lets out a long-suffering sigh. “Our fellow party goers don’t seem to think so."
They both fall silent long enough to hear a gaggle of giggles coming from just outside the door. Very faintly, they can hear the girls of their friend group commend each other on their brilliant knack for concocting plans to ruin Derek's life.

Summary
“Do you still have your name?”
His face scrunches, “Do I still have my name?” But - the words come out before he’s even considered the question. Instantly, he’s back in that edgeless cavern inside his head. He calls out for his name, but no noise leaves his lips.
He doesn’t know it. He doesn’t know his name.

Summary
The man on the sign is smiling.
That’s what Derek notices first when he passes by the community bulletin board in the library. Not the text, not the horrible font the text is written in. Not even the overabundance of baby-related clip art, like someone couldn’t decide on one so they just used them all. The man is smiling down at the baby in his arms, cradling it gently without a trace of fear on his face. There are no tears, no under-eye bags that could be seen from a mile away.
Are you feeling overwhelmed or lost? You are not alone!
It’s all the motivation he needs to backtrack to the circulation desk to register for the class.

Summary
“Think it’ll snow soon?” Stiles asks, long past the time that the cold has covered Derek’s arms in goosebumps.
He looks up at the white sky and breathes in deep, the air cold and sweet in his lungs. “Yeah,” he says, “I think it will.”

Summary
He yanks the pillow next to his over his face and gropes for his phone on the nightstand. “Siri, call Derek,” he directs, voice scratchy. Calling is such a familiar motion that he could probably navigate the screen without looking at it, but the last thing he wants is to mess up and be forced to talk to someone else at 4:36 in the morning.

Summary
Stiles doesn’t go home right away.
The urge is there—when he answers the phone to Lydia’s shaking voice, when he gets the text from his dad, when he stares out at the sun glowing soft peach and golden over the buildings in D.C. and he thinks about Derek never seeing another sunrise. It’s there weeks later when he gets a check from the Estate of Derek Hale, when he crumples it up and throws it in the trash, when he fishes it out an hour later and tries to salvage it by weighing it down with a book from the Hale vault.
It’s there, it’s there, it’s there.
Stiles doesn’t listen to it.
Because Stiles isn’t going back to Beacon Hills to say goodbye.

“Mountain man is here,” Scott whispers in his ear, hands gripping Stiles’ shoulders as he carefully moves behind him in the narrow space. “Biographies.”

“Do you ever look up and wonder where time went?” she asks, resting her chin against her folded fist.
His hands slow over the dough he’s patted into a rectangle, fingers still pressing indentations, but lingering longer. “Time’s been different to me,” he says, “but I hear that’s a common feeling.”

“Are you two fighting?”
The chair squeaks as he shifts, planting his feet flat on the floor and pushing, rolling himself back and forth slowly. “Maybe. Yeah.”
Cora’s sigh is explosive and irritated. “Seriously? What now?”
“Well,” he says slowly, chest starting to ache now that he actually has to say the words he’s been worried about out loud, “I asked him to move in with me on Friday and he said yes but I haven’t heard a word from him since Saturday morning, so we’re either fighting or … broken up.”

Summary
“It’s fine,” Stiles says, but he stops at the bottom of the porch when Derek closes a hand around his elbow. His scent is evening out, mellowing from humiliation to embarrassment, and his heart skips a few beats when Derek touches him. “Really, I misread everything. Jordan said—” he stops, again, and Derek has to stop himself from asking because what Jordan said isn’t the most pressing issue.
“I thought you were joking,” he says, keeping Stiles’ arm still even as he starts to pull away. “Whatever Jordan said, he didn’t tell me. You’ve been teasing me for weeks, I didn’t think this was any different.”
Stiles turns to face him, and this time when he pulls his arm back, Derek lets go. “I’ve been asking you out for weeks,” he says, a thin trace of amusement through the resignation in his voice. “It’s fine, dude, just a misunderstanding. I’ll stop.”

Summary
Stiles regrets not getting a tree.
He hadn’t been feeling very festive—decorations were reminders that he was spending the holidays alone, so he’d decided not to put them up, but now it’s Christmas Eve and there’s not even a strand of lights around the room to cheer him up. Watching Die Hard hadn’t worked, neither had The Grinch, and Derek hadn’t answered his phone the last three times Stiles had called him today.
It’s 7:34pm on Christmas Eve, and Stiles is ready to give it up and call it a night.

It was amazing.
It was spectacular.
It was … witnessed by his very hot courtyard neighbor, if the way he’s grinning while tugging his curtains closed across the way is any indication.

Summary
Stiles should have known it was too good to be true. Hot men don’t just show up at his door for no reason and despite doing regular tarot readings for people, Stiles doesn’t actually believe in fate or any type of higher power that would listen to his stupid, lonely, post-finals drunken wishes.
“You need to tell Jennifer that I’m not her soulmate,” the guy says. When he crosses his stupidly buff arms over his chest, Stiles can practically hear the seams of his sweater begging for mercy.
Jesus, she hadn’t been lying about her boyfriend being absurdly attractive.
