Summary
Stiles is a senior at Beacon Hills High. Now that his former best friend Scott and Allison Argent are officially a Thing™, he has extra time on his hands. Thankfully, he's got his job at the public library. It's his little sanctuary—one that gets disrupted when Derek Hale, golden-boy quarterback and the captain of Beacon Hill High's football and basketball teams, ends up volunteering there as well.

Summary
Derek Hale, the Viscount Hemming and only son of the Third Earl of Beacon, was London's most notorious rake. His disinclination to appear with the same partner at social events was well-known; his discountenance to wed, even more so. Which is why no one was more surprised than Stiles when the dashing viscount—and Stiles' once childhood friend—presented him with a proposal he couldn't refuse.
[excerpt]:
"Is Graceview Hall your only responsibility? What about love? Your family?"Derek jerked back in shock. She, of all people, knew what happened when he last fell in love.
"You are four and twenty," Lady Belmont continued. "You cannot remain on your current path, carousing and bedding anyone who catches your eye. Why, even Lord Deucalion wed this past summer, and he was a reprobate of the first order."
Derek may have owed his great-aunt what little remained of his dignity. This, however, was asking too much. "I will never enter the marriage mart," he swore.

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.

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
Breaking up with Derek and getting pushed out of the pack isn't the biggest news Stiles has to deal with.
It turns out he's also pregnant.
[excerpt]:
Peter grinned. The teeth that peeped out from behind his lips weren't even human. "Oh, I know how possessive Derek can be. Especially on a full moon. In fact, I'm counting on it." He pinned Stiles against the counter before Stiles could respond, a mountain of inhuman strength and bitter anger, then wrested the white plastic stick from Stiles' hand."Hey, give that back—" Stiles said, reaching for it but missing.
"He doesn't know, does he?" Peter laughed, a delighted, wicked sound that echoed off the bathroom's walls. "Oh, he doesn't. It's a good thing I'm adaptable, because this is going to be so much better." He turned to the woman, who hasn't done a thing, by the way, except to look like Galadriel under the influence of the Ring, and added, "It's time for Plan B."

Summary
For Prompt #51 (H/D Career Fair 2017):
When Draco gets fired, he reluctantly agrees to break up a girl’s relationship for her disapproving mother. Through word of mouth, the one-time gig turns him into a professional Matchbreaker, however he winds up falling for one of his clients and must somehow balance his secret job and love life.[excerpt]:
“So who is it? The Curse-breaker and the Veela? The head of the Department of Magical Transportation?” Draco’s eyes lit up. “The Dragon-tamer?” Now that particular Weasley could be fun.“No. It’s Harry,” Hermione said, the name exploding out of her in a rush.
Draco blinked, stunned into silence.
“Harry,” he said, after he recovered his faculties. “You want me to break up Harry and the Weaselette?!"

I would give this a zillion kudos if I could. I love this so much --the humor and snark, the quiet moments and vulnerability, the heartache and joy that come out so beautifully through Cailynwrites' reading. There's a depth that goes beyond the words on the page, and I know I'll listen to it again and again. So beautiful, thank you ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Summary
When Derek thought about time travel – and he did, a lot – this was not what he'd had in mind. He'd thought he would see his younger self, tell him to leave Paige alone and NEVER trust Kate Argent. He'd thought he’d get to come back once that was done and everything would be perfect. He never imagined having to relive his entire life.

Bookmarker's Notes
Time travel-de aging fic from Derek's POV. A witch's curse that makes people right prior wrongs causes Derek to time travel 24 years back to his birth and relive his life all over again. The writing of Derek's age-appropriate voice with touches of humor and feels and personal growth is magnificent. So monumental and incredibly well done. It does get a bit rushed at the end and the bit with Gerard too fantastical, but ambitious and deserves the kudos)
[excerpt]:
The witch was supposed to be easy to deal with. She wasn’t hurting anyone really, but the sheriff was starting to be concerned about all the "odd" events going on; a cheating husband being incapable – literally – of putting pants on; an evil boss handing himself over for fraud and then denying it; school bullies becoming their victim’s slaves, willingly. All those things could have been considered justified, but people were asking questions so John had asked Derek and his pack to look into it.A few days later, they finally found the witch. They tried to talk to her but Derek, being … well, Derek, managed to piss her off rather quickly. He never saw it coming, and before he knew it, everything was black.

Summary
Stiles thinks if Peter had never happened. If Peter hadn’t forced Stiles down onto the earth and pinned him there. But Peter had happened. And all he and Derek had left was a single kiss.
(Stiles was fifteen when he was raped and killed in the fall.)

Bookmarker's Notes
Sterek The Lovely Bones AU. It’s done so movingly, so very terribly and beautifully, and I can’t think of how it could be written better. Stiles’ voice is perfection—all hope and outrage and youthful indignation and brilliance, along with the sadness of a life lost. Nothing contrived, just pitch-perfect storytelling.
[excerpt]:
If Peter hadn’t held Stiles down as he cried and struggled against the oppressive weight of the man’s hands and body, as Peter slowly slid his hands down past the band of Stiles’ boxers and bared him to the world. If Peter had stopped tearing Stiles apart from the inside with his fingers and later his brutal cock, lancing pain and sick sick pleasure up and down Stiles, racking sobs and shivers, painful gasps and moans from him like he was wrangling a bird for its final song.If Peter had just never happened.
Stiles think he would have had all the things Peter did to him with Derek.
With Derek it would have been the most sweetest romantic sentimental thing he did for their first time. They would have gone to the woods under the stars, probably on a patch of mildewy but soft grass that they always like to roll in after they tired from practising lacrosse. Derek’s touch would have been true reverence, not like Peter’s perverse worship.
It would have been the most goddamn perfect thing in the world.
But Peter had happened.
There is going to be nothing more with Derek. Peter has wrecked him, and then made sure no one else could have him.
All they had (all Stiles had) now is a single stolen kiss.

Summary
Harry Potter seems to have it all: the perfect marriage, the perfect job, and the perfect life.
Only Draco knows the truth.
[excerpt]:
“Things happen for a reason.”“And what would be the reason for following me into an unoccupied loo in the midst of your own celebration?”
Harry laughs. “Perhaps it’s because I miss your sparkling wit and sarcasm.”
Draco arches a brow. He moves closer, taking pleasure in the way Harry’s eyes darken, their green rims thinning with his desire. “We both know it’s not conversation that you’re after, don’t we Potter?”

This is AMAZING. Cailynwrites' narration is so clear, the cadence is perfect, while tension, humor and softness are mixed in the perfect proportions. Draco's read is particularly noteworthy; it contains all the things I love about him--his poshness and his snark, but also his vulnerability. Listening to this was like experiencing the story for the first time. I sometimes wondered whether a part II was warranted; but the desperate and bittersweet notes that came through in the end reassured me that this is how it should be. Really grateful <333

Bookmarker's Notes
Stiles and Derek are separately captured by the Argents for nefarious reasons and locked in a cabin together. Chapter 3 is the aftermath post rescue and trying to heal. Communication with letters and hot smut and tons of angst and feels. It’s DevilDoll so it’s brilliant, as always.
[excerpt]:
Stiles' best friend was a werewolf. Some of his favorite clients were werewolves. Stiles knew damn well what a pissed-off wolf sounded like, and every hair on the back of his neck was telling him that somewhere in this room was a very pissed-off werewolf.He took a deep breath, willing himself to calm the fuck down even as his already queasy stomach pitched and rolled in reaction to this unwelcome development. Ever so slowly, he turned his head in the direction of the growl, which ratcheted up a notch as soon as Stiles moved. The wolf was almost directly behind him, so Stiles had to nearly pull an Exorcist move to lay eyes on it, and then he immediately wished he hadn't. Staring out at him from the deeper dark of what appeared to be a doorway were two red, glowing eyes.
An alpha. Son of a bitch.
It was instinct that made him uselessly flex his hands, try to summon a protective spell, before he remembered what they'd done to him. He felt the familiar hollowness in his belly as his body made room for the magic to uncurl, the tingle under his breastbone when the rune tattooed there tried to flare to life, and then…nothing. The tingle faded away as quickly as it appeared, his stomach clenched down on itself as the nausea made a comeback, and he opened his perfectly ordinary fingers, from which no power flowed.
They'd taken away his magic and thrown him in a room with an alpha werewolf, who sounded decidedly not-friendly. And it was maybe just his imagination, but it looked like the wolf, who hadn't stopped growling, was moving closer.
