    Summary

    “Dude!” Scott says. “Did you know Derek Hale is over there?!”

    Stiles laughs, nodding. “Yeah, Scotty, I noticed.”

    “You have to go say something! We have to go say something!”

    “Say what?” Stiles asks. “I see your 2014 hat trick against the Oilers in my dreams?”

    “That would be a good place to start,” Scott says. “You should tell him about the rookie card!”

    “So I can seem like a pathetic kid?” Stiles scoffs. “Yeah, great idea.”

    “I think it’s cute,” Kira tells him. “Very sweet.”

    “Sweet,” Lydia agrees, “but not sexy.”

    “Sexy?” Scott says, screwing up his face. “Why would we want to be sexy in front of Derek Hale?”

    Summary

    Stiles doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with him, except maybe chronic over-caffeination. But his dad’s retired K-9, Bandit, disagrees. According to TikTok, that means cancer. Or seizures. Or secret pregnancy. Cue Stiles in an exam room, shirt off, face burning, while Derek Hale—yes, that Derek Hale, his long-forgotten high school crush turned absurdly hot doctor—takes his medical history like it’s no big deal. It’s fine. Totally fine. Not a meet-cute. Definitely not.

    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

    Stiles Stilinski was never supposed to be royalty. Hiding in a backwater village, he lived as a woodcutter, keeping secret the Gift that marked him as an Omega: the power to heal any wound or sickness. Yet, when a wolf attack nearly kills his father and almost wipes out his village, Stiles reveals himself to save them, and within days, knights drag him to the royal court.

    King Peter Hale declares Stiles a Prince of the Kingdom, placing him under the watch of his brooding nephew, Derek, a Wolfknight bound by honor and silence. Stiles, sarcastic and stubborn, refuses to be a pampered saint. He heals commoners, soldiers, anyone in need, defying nobles who would turn his gift into gold. Slowly, Derek begins to see the man's compassion as braver than any knight’s sword.

    In a world where Omegas are worshipped as divine, Stiles must decide if love is the truest choice of all.

    Summary

    The kisses grew hotter each day. Each lick, each bite tasted of desperation.

    They reminded each other about the audience, invisible but no less real. A hand on the chest, fingers grabbing the chin to stop the lips from pursuing. Stuttered breaths, simmering heat, gritted teeth. Forehead against forehead and noses rubbing together. In the end, it was Derek who smiled at him in placation and pressed the last calming kiss to Stiles’ eager lips. As if they had all time in the world. As if they would be doing it again and again and again, after. As if something real would exist beyond this TV set.

    Yes, Derek kissed him like he wanted it to last. If Stiles was a romantic at heart, he would’ve said it felt like yearning. For what — Stiles didn’t know. There ought to be thousands like him in Derek’s world, while Derek was one in a million.
