Summary
Pretty much the only person who's never had Stiles wash his clothes is, frustratingly, the richest guy in the entire school. Derek S. Hale.
Stiles figures the S stands for Stingy. Or maybe Scowl, since that seems to be his primary facial expression, especially around Stiles. He's gone through a lot of theories about why Hale won't let Stiles touch his clothes.
***
"Let me get this right," Hale says, in a voice that’s frankly too soft for the fierce glare. "You want me to pay you to touch my clothes."
"WASH them," Stiles says, making motions with his hands that’re meant to indicate the machine's churning cycle.
Hale looks confused.
"I'm not going to fondle them or anything," Stiles says, then clamps his mouth shut, because now Hale definitely thinks that’s the case.

Summary
The hardest part of living in the city, Derek thinks, is trading in his car for public transit. He understands the convenience and necessity, but for someone with supernatural senses, the twice-daily ride feels a little too close to torture. But you do anything for pack, right?
Laura had told him he didn't have to come with her and insisted he actually consider his options. What options? he'd thought bleakly. Of course he'd go with her—his Alpha, and his only remaining family. Even if the city's constant noise and smells grate on him.
After a particularly unpleasant incident on the subway, Derek switches his routine—and, it turns out, his entire view on city life. The front subway car isn't really any less packed than the one he'd used before, and his constant low simmer of irritation with crowds doesn't dissipate.
He sticks with the new habit, though, because the one thing the front car does have is Stiles.

Summary
“No,” Edamura said, when he saw Laurent leaning against an ornate pillar in the lobby of his hotel.
Laurent simply grinned and waited for Edamura to stalk past the elevator bank and reception desk to join him.
Technically, he merely strode by Laurent, refusing to look him in the eyes, but he slowed his irritation-charged pace and glanced back, just the slightest bit, when Laurent didn’t immediately fall into step beside him.
He looked good, Laurent thought.
***
Laurent had developed many skills over the years. With languages, in the bedroom, or even something as simple as convincing other people that his decisions were ones they'd made on their own. He had a good life. A full one, with everything a man could need. A wallet bulging with his marks' money, more stamps in his passport than he'd ever thought possible, and a string of potential lovers he could pick through at will, if he wanted.
That, you see, was the flaw in all of his perfect plans. There was only one thing that Laurent truly wanted. One person, who hated his guts.
The other problem was even more difficult to unravel. Laurent was exceptional at everything, except this: telling anyone, especially himself, the truth.

Summary
When Kaoru was eight years old, he knew, somehow, that he and Kojiro would be friends forever. Not much had changed since then. They'd spent nearly two decades bickering, traveling the world, establishing their careers, and patching each other up every time they fell: out of love, or off their skateboards.
They were friends. That'd always be true, no matter what else happened in their lives.
It'd never occurred to Kaoru that they could be anything more—that the incredible, warm-hearted, muscle-brained, frequently irritating man who'd spent nearly twenty years by his side might've been in love with him all along.

Summary
If there was one constant in Adrian's life, it was this: Belmonts could never be trusted.
It'd been twelve years since they'd abruptly stopped hunting Adrian's family. His parents had never explained why the pact was formed, but after more than a decade of peace, Adrian finally learned to stop looking over his shoulder. Life in a small town, working in his mother's bookstore, was quiet and simple, if sometimes a bit dull.
Then a new Belmont entered the picture: less threatening than he should be, with dark hair, piercing blue eyes, and a baffling interest in Adrian's newly proposed Blind Date with a Book display.
From birth, Adrian had been taught to fear the Belmonts. Somehow, this one was different.

This collection is for my tumblr fics, notfics, and other ideas that I wanted to share but didn't have the time to spin into full 50k fics. Each fic in this collection stands alone and tells a different version of Derek and Stiles falling in love. (Spoiler Alert: they keep finding happy endings, no matter what universe you try to throw them into.)

You can't control what you don't understand, and you can't understand what you don't know. And as far as Munakata Reisi is concerned, some knowledge comes at too high a cost.

If it weren’t for the fact that Suoh just so happened to win the sex appeal lottery, Munakata wouldn’t even be here, surely. Surely. (K kinkmeme de-anon)
