    Summary

    “You know,” Stiles grumbled as he made his way past a Chevy that was already a relic back in the 70s, “I thought this would be my year. The year I’d get to celebrate Valentine’s Day the way I’m supposed to.”

    Or: Five times when Stiles and Derek spend Valentine’s Day with members of the pack. And one time when they (finally) spend it alone.

    Summary

    Of all the things Stiles imagined could happen, he never thought he’d end up packless.

    *****

    Derek picks up his coffee and drains it slowly. "My place is a twenty-minute drive from here. I could show you, if you'd like," he says once he finishes. His tone is studiedly casual, but Stiles knows what a big deal it is. It's an offer to re-establish a connection with a former pack member. To invite Stiles into the new sanctuary Derek created for himself.

    Stiles looks at his empty cup. He thinks of the miles he's driven. Of the motels and hotels and cheap campsites he's crashed at, and tries to keep his desperation to have something familiar, of not feeling so goddamn lonely, from his voice.

    "Yeah. I'd really like that," he says, and if his heartbeat does a little swoop, Derek's too polite to mention it.

    Summary

    The sun and sand, some tasty waves, and a salt-filled breeze are all Derek needs.

    Somehow, Stiles works his way into the equation.

    [excerpt]:
    Stiles looks out toward the water. The sun's rays catch him at an angle that makes his eyes look golden, and Derek can see the individual grains of sand that dust his face.

    "You know the worst thing about it all?" Stiles asks softly. "It's that I'm going to be known forever as the goofy sidekick on a kid's show. Like, that's my legacy."

    Derek takes a deep breath. He can relate. He was once considered a prodigy in the surfing world: touted as the next Kelly Slater after he'd won several local competitions right out of high school and then the Billabong Pipeline Masters at twenty, followed by a second-place finish at qualifiers for the US Open of Surfing. The recognition was heady; the groupies and sponsors, more so. And then there was Kate, who had entered Derek's life as hot and quick as wildfire before razing his world to the ground.

    Summary

    The one where a chance encounter with the Hale Pack prince and a case of mistaken identity leads to Stiles' very own Cinderella story.

    *⚜*

    "I'm okay," Stiles begins, but then he gets his first look at the person who nearly ruined his morning and sucks in his breath.

    The guy is literally the hottest person he's ever seen. Like, ever. He has a full head of black hair that Stiles is itching to run his hands through, a jaw that could cut glass, and the most incredible pale-green, gold-blue eyes, if there's even such a thing. He's staring at Stiles intensely, and then his nostrils flare delicately as he leans forward and sniffs.

    It's not the weirdest—nor the rudest—thing that's happened to Stiles today, but still.

    Summary

    Negotiating a high-stakes hostage rescue and saving democracy are all in a day's work. That is, if Stiles and Derek don't kill each other first.


    "Captain Hale," Stiles says, nodding coolly before gracing the rest of the team with a warmer smile. Hale is a visitor to Stiles' ship; Stiles should be the one making the introductions, not Lydia. "I thought you were supposed to arrive at 1600."

    "It's 1602," Hale says as the furrow between his brow grows deeper.

    Given the time it takes for him to re-acclimate after a sim, Stiles is pretty sure he'd exited the module before 1600. He glances at the badge that's clipped to Hale's chest pocket; it's a fancy one with both matrix and biologic scanners, the kind someone has when they are high-ranking enough to require multiple security clearances at places like the Capitol. "It takes longer than two minutes to clear our security systems and reach our training room. How long have you been here?"

    "Long enough to know that the use of an incendiary grenade in that environment was foolhardy at best."

    Stiles' jaw drops. He probably looks like a gaping fish, but really?

    "Excuse me?" he says, taking a step closer to Hale as Scott groans.
