It is good time and good place

Mar 30, 2014 00:32

In this very moment I have 565 sterek fics on my list. The good ones. I have probably at least 300 not so good ones. Anyway, I decided to update my epic rec list (it's gonna take ages, bare with me) and do a "must read" and "just classics" lists as well.

So this is my "Sterek fics you must read no matter what" list!

Adventures and Explorations series by Survivah
1) A Simple Life
Summary: Derek plans to spend the rest of his life holed up in the woods after Laura dies. Then he meets a stubborn young fox, and the stubborn young fox meets an urn of Deaton's magic powder, and his plans change.
Word count: 14k
It was beautiful. The Little Prince in Teen Wolf version. All the feels.
2) Finding Miracles
Summary: Stiles was planning on just being a fox for his entire life. Then, well, magic, true love, blah blah blah, things got complicated. But as it turns out, he still has a lot to learn about this new world he's living in. Humanity, man. It's weird.
Word count: 17k
Some domesticy and angst and a happy ending of course!

Beacon Hills Mysteries by miss_aphelion
1) The Pull of The Tide
Summary: Stiles appears alone at the doors of the emergency room the morning after the full moon, covered in blood with a deep slash torn across his left side. He's suffering from hypovolemic shock and barely conscious and he won't tell anyone what happened-not his hospital appointed psychiatrist, not his father. Not even his pack.
The list of suspects is disconcertedly short. There were only seven others in the woods with Stiles that night: Derek, Scott, Boyd, Erica, Isaac, Jackson and Allison. And none of them remember the night in quite the same way.
Word count: 28k
It was BRILLIANT! There was a mystery, one big mystery, tension was mounting with every word and characeters were written perfectly. As well as whole intrygue. Really, one of the most interesting and well written fics I've read in this fandom!
2) The Lure of the Moon by miss_aphelion
Summary: Stiles hasn't come home. The Sheriff and Stiles have an agreement: Stiles is home before midnight every night, and he doesn't have to haul Derek Hale back to jail. So he drives out to the Hale house to drag his wayward son home-only thing is, it's not there anymore. What little had been left of it is laid flat across its foundations, and in the middle of it all, half buried beneath old burned out drywall, is Stiles' Jeep.
Word count: 45k
Another brilliant story, how this author is doing that!
3) The Tricks of the Trade
Summary: Stiles learns about negative space in sixth period Art Survey. It reminds him of Peter, who seems to only ever fill in the parts of himself that he wants people to see. It's easy to forget about the negative space, and miss seeing the whole picture.
Then again, Peter is a mystery Stiles isn't sure he should solve.
Word count: 7k
Very interesting Peter, I love this characterisation! And I love the idea of him teaching Stiles!

But, Doctor! by stilinskisparkles
Summary: “We had to splint a girl’s leg in a ditch,” Scott says excitedly.
“Bro, you sound way too happy about that,” Stiles complains, opening up his bag and pulling out a Twinkie.
Derek removes it from his hand silently and replaces it with an apple. Stiles scowls at him for a second then bites into it, regardless. Derek sits back and lets the group discuss the merits of dramatic lifesaving feats for winning over the ladies. Scott is convinced it’ll help impress Allison; Isaac thinks Scott’s a loser. Stiles-
Stiles is falling asleep on Derek’s shoulder.
Word count: 30k
It was so lovelly! Fluffy, funny and VERY happy making. I love how Amy writes, I love her Stiles and Derek and every other character. And hospital au, PERFECTION. Alos, Jackson was a lawyer :D

Crash Landers by gyzym
Summary: In which Stiles learns to Stalk That Stalk. (Or, how to accidentally woo your unfriendly neighborhood alpha in roughly five hundred handwritten steps.
Word count: 31k
It's gyzym, so what can I say, she has her own category and nothing else fits there. It was amazing, funny and has this thing, which made it special.

Cry Havoc 'verse by ladyblahblah
Summary: "I aske-d for a fairy tale romance.
In my defense, I'd never read any actual fairy tales."
Sterek, fairy tale-style. The beginning of everything can sometimes seem like the end.

Wow. This was wonderful! Derek <333 And pack feelings. Great plot, emotions and a happy end. Definitely on of the best fics in this fanodm!

Cupboard Love by mklutz
Summary: He’s carefully balancing the sandwiches and the two biggest tupperware containers he could find that both had functioning lids when the front door opens and he almost drops everything right there in front of the stupid fountain. If that’s Derek Hale, he’s definitely not a mountain man.

Daddy Do’s by bookgodess15

Laura laughs, loud and echoing in the empty restaurant.
"Hot firemen can make a girl do crazy things," she agrees, nodding towards her brother's name on the menu. "Derek won't let me date anyone from his company, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the eye candy.""Send them my way," Stiles suggests, finally loading up a forkful of pie. "Apparently I'm incompetent enough that I need to be babysat at all times, because it would be cheaper than dispatching a truck every time I try to use a kitchen appliance."

Word count: 12k
Beautiful. And sad, more like heartbreaking, but still, so beautiful. it reminds me of some kind of old fairy tale, with a monster with a heart, who is afraid of loving and being love. One of my favorites! Demon!Stiles.

Patterns of Intentions by drunktuesdays
Summary: Derek looked like the stuff of his deepest fantasies. His shirt was rumpled where Stiles had his hands in it, and he was breathing hard as well, chest heaving. His eyes-his eyes were glazed over and he looked stunned, like he’d been-like Stiles had-
“No,” Stiles said, blood draining from his face. The word was croaky and felt like it had to be wrenched out of his chest. “God, no.”
Word count: 17k

Humor was so great I don’t even know what to say. I love this fic, even if I was a little bit disappointed how fast it ended! Also, Laura in this fic? Being a sarcastic badass lawyer? So cool. And Stiles, I just can’t, he was perfect. Definitely one of my favorites fics!

Supernormal series by zosofi
1) Just Act Normal
Summary: If someone had told Stiles back in high school that he would be an Oscar winning actor by the time he turned 25, he would’ve probably told Scott to punch them. The thing is, though…they would’ve been right. Which makes returning to Beacon Hills, center of all that is supernatural and better left avoided, all the more awkward.

AWESOME! I love this whole idea and Stiles was so cool :D

2) Your Lifelong Membership is Free

Will to follow through by owlpostagain
Summary: “It depends entirely on how you look at it, I guess,” Stiles shrugs. “On the one hand, instant healing and the apparently inherited ability to pull off leather at all times. On the other, serious attitude problems and a suspicious disappearance of eyebrows.”
“Even Derek’s?” Danny snorts, “that’s a lot of eyebrow to lose.”
“I know,” Stiles agrees. “You should see, it’s so weird. Every time I want to ask him where they go, except he’d totally eat my face off.”
“There are worse ways to die.”
