    Summary

    But instead, Ryan rests his hands on Oliver’s neck, asking, “You saying you want to give me your kids?”

    It’s not something Oliver ever thought of, with Ryan or with anyone before. It’s not even something he thinks he’ll ever want. But he wants Ryan. He wants to keep him. He wants to have enough incentive for Ryan to want to keep him.

    So shakily, Oliver says, “I’m saying I want to put them. Right,” he pauses, presses his palm flat against Ryan’s bare stomach, where a womb would be. “Here.”

    Summary

    Of all the outcomes Derek imagined, he never thought he would be staring down a rifle with Stiles hidden behind him.

    “We’re unarmed,” Derek stated, his hands in a placating gesture as he took a step in front of Stiles.

    Stiles reached a hand up, taking hold of Derek’s arm as he instructed him to lower his hands. “Hello, father,” he softly greeted the man holding the rifle.

    Derek looked at the man, finally taking a moment to realize that it was the man from the photo Stiles had in his suitcase. He lingered beside Stiles, knowing this first impression was not the finest.

    Or, the one set during WWII where Stiles is a pregnant grad student and Derek is a PTSD riddled soldier, both of them looking for a better life.

    Summary

    Some monsters are born, others are made.
    ~*~
    Stiles closed his eyes tightly. “Please, I need to see him,” he pleaded. “I wish to see him—to look into his eyes once more.”

    Stiles thoughts were loudly rushing around them both, memories and thoughts that had nothing but the estate’s walls to hear them for so long. But the last part was clearest for Allison to hear.

    Derek, I wish to be with Derek. And to gaze into his eyes … those eyes that the devil would be proud to have.

    Summary

    Stiles has a massive thing for Derek Hale.

    This is not news. Stiles, after all, has been carrying a torch for Derek ever since they bumped into each other at a taco cart at the start of his freshman year.

    But what is news? With no hope of ever capturing Derek’s attention, Stiles is thinking it might be time to let that torch go. Try to let it burn out.

    (Derek might have something to say about that.)

    Summary

    “That was a long time ago,” Derek finally said, his face falling into its usual cool facade.

    Stiles felt like he had been punched in the gut. Two worlds, right? Except, it had never really been two worlds at all. If they lived in two worlds, Stiles wouldn’t feel this unexplainable ache that ran deep in his bones. It had always been one world, with water slipping into the cracks, until there was an ocean between them. Stiles was always caught in the riptides, dragged out to sea where he was left to drown, sinking below the surface as Derek grew further and further out of his reach.

    “Yeah,” Stiles agreed, forcing his lips to turn up in the corners, noting the slight crack in his voice, “long time ago."
