marguerite_26Love Runs Wild by DevilDoll
Stiles/Derek; Stiles/OCs | 9k | NC-17
Summary: "You've got a hickey on the back of your neck!" A Neckz 'n Throats story.
It's Complicated by trilliath
Stiles & Allison friendship; Stiles/Derek; Scott/Allison | 10k | R
Summary: On her thirteenth birthday, Hayley Argent finally gets her parents to explain how she came to be, and how they all ended up where they belonged in the end.
From important choices to fights and tears, to moments of love. Allison, Stiles, Derek and Scott tell her, through a variety of memories about the complicated way their lives played out thirteen years and nine months ago.
The Scientific Method by uraneia
Derek/Stiles| 6k | PG-13
Summary: Stiles’s life was so much easier before his BFF got super powers. “But, so, werewolves have super strength, right? And super speed. And better vision, and better muscle control, and healing powers, and stuff. And some of that’s probably, like, genetic, if you can be born a werewolf. Right?”
“Yeah,” Scott says. From the perplexed look on his face, he doesn’t yet know where Stiles is going with this. “So?”
“So what if you have condom-defeating supersperm?”
Take a Glorious Bite Out of the Whole World by weathervaanes
Stiles/Derek; Stiles/OCs | 5k | NC-17
Summary: The tattoo is vein-like and strange, but it’s so very…right. It’s not necessarily a picture, but free-flowing lines that wind around his arm and dip and dance around his scars. It makes him feel free, makes him feel powerful.
He goes in for his second tattoo when he’s about to leave for school in Southern California.
It's not so much of a second one as a continuation. He decides that, though the pattern isn't of branches it acts like them, so he branches it down over his shoulder and down to the center of his back, kind of like draping a toga. At the center of his back the lines concentrate and sort of circle. He adds a splash of jade-shaded almond shapes and feels stronger somewhere deep inside.

Stiles/Derek| 25k | R
Summary:NASCAR AU. The Stilinski Racing team was getting along just fine until stupid Scott decided he wanted to get stupid married. Now they're out a driver four months before the Daytona time trials and the only one they can afford to hire is a crazy person with offensively beautiful eyes.

Summary: Stiles can never leave a good mystery alone.
Stiles/Derek; Stiles/OCs | 9k | NC-17
Summary: "You've got a hickey on the back of your neck!" A Neckz 'n Throats story.
This fic!!! Oh, shit. This was perfect. I adore the ‘Neckz 'n Throats’ mag idea and scenes with Derek and Stiles having to do a photoshoot together hits all the right buttons, but this fic delivered above and beyond in on every aspect of that trope. It’s hilarious and hot and just angsty enough and even more hot. It’s perfectly balanced and leaves the reader very satisfied all under 10k. If you haven’t yet, go read.

There are not NEARLY enough fics focusing on Stiles and Allison in this fandom. And this one is glorious. Oh. My. God. The premise (Stiles and Allison, pissed off with their boyfriends, have a drunken one night stand) is such a great idea for a fic and deserved a well thought-out, exploration of the reaction to and consequences of that mistake. The author gives us that in spades. I love the whole mess of a situation and all its complexities. Every one of the characterizations in this (from the main four to all the peripherals) are brilliantly and believably done. Excellent storytelling.

Ridiculous hilariousness. Hilarious ridiculousness. Also sperm-inspired plots are always the right choice.

Tattoo kink like fucking CRAZY. but also it's a lovely story of Stiles going out and finding himseld 'taking a glorious bite of the world' before returning home.

Nice, plotty-ish AU. I think the setting of NASCRA pit crew was fresh and interesting. Liked that Stiles was a mechanic and Derek the driver. Great canon parallels as well.

Summary: Stiles can never leave a good mystery alone.
This fic is a fusion with The Sentinel, but knowledge of that verse is not necessary (I know nothing about it, but the plot/talents of the characters were easy to follow and lend themselves well to the werewolf world). Author’s notes also have a quick tutorial to help you along. This is a lovely read. I’m glad I didn’t skip it because of the fusion.

Date: 2013-04-26 12:55 am (UTC)2) I've been searching for this one particular fic (http://teenwolfsearch.livejournal.com/56625.html) for AGES, and as you've read tons of TW fics, I feel it's safe to ask. I made an inquiry a few weeks ago on both
=p

I'll admit that I'm not a fan of that 'Scott deserts Stiles/Scott sells out Derek's pack' trope so while I do think I've read it, it probably never ended up on my bookmarks or recs (which means I wouldn't be able to find it again!) Good luck finding it.
