Fic Recs: Teen Wolf
I know, I know. Yet more TW fic recs. Sorry to those of you who aren't fans but it's been about 99% of what I've been reading lately and I've found a bunch of good ones.
Title: Integration
Author: Mici (noharlembeat) on AO3
Fandom: Teen Wolf
Pairing: Stiles/Derek, Isaac/Derek (unreciprocated)
Status: Complete
Summary: McCall is trying to talk sense into you, and you wonder what the hell he really wants, because this is fucked up. Doesn’t he understand that Derek is not your enemy? That Derek isn’t his enemy, either, that everything Derek does (even the things you don’t understand) are for the pack, that the lone wolf dies alone, and you don’t care how much that makes you sound like Ned Stark, because it’s true.
This one is great because it shows some of the events from season 2 through Isaac's eyes and offers a plain look at his motivations and emotions. Isaac is probably my favorite out of all of the new characters that were introduced in season 2 and Mici does a great job climbing into his head.
Title: Your Face Is Like A Melody (It Won't Leave My Head
Author: toyfeels on AO3
Fandom: Teen Wolf
Pairing: Stiles/Derek
Status: Complete
Summary: "Since age three, Stiles has been dreaming of Derek. When he was younger, he would always babble about Derek and draw pictures of them together, etc. but everyone just assumed that Derek was his imaginary friend. Stiles himself didn't realize that Derek was a real person until he heard about the Hale fire but by that time, Derek and Laura had moved to New York. "
In one word, this fic is adorable.
Title: Worlds That Turn On Their Own
Author: RemainNameless on AO3
Fandom: Teen Wolf
Pairing: Stiles/Derek
Status: Complete, ~55,000 words
Summary: When Stiles had left Beacon Hills, he'd done it with every intention of never coming back. Ten years later, he finds himself forced back to his hometown. Of course, it's not long before things are just as they had been before -- that is, falling headlong towards disaster, and this time, stopping it isn't really an option.
Stiles left Beacon Hills and hasn't looked back in ten years but when his father has a heartattack, he comes back to old haunts and faces feelings he thought long buried. This might sound like a pretty common setup in TW fics but RemainNameless refreshes it by adding a visiting pack, werewolf politics, solid female characters and some very decent writing.
Title: Tricksters Make This World on AO3 or here on LJ
Author: Wldnst on AO3 or wldnst
Fandom: Teen Wolf
Pairing: Stiles/Derek
Status: Complete, ~27,000
Summary: Stiles comes back to Beacon Hills during the new moon in April.
Stiles comes back to Beacon Hills during a new moon in the spring, when cool, moisture-laden air is coming in off the Pacific Ocean and everything smells more like itself. Stiles though--Stiles doesn’t smell like himself. The base notes of his scent remain the same, they’ve been overwritten with the scents of new places, new people. Scott’s scent is distant now, and the smell of high school locker room’s been eliminated entirely. The Sheriff’s scent is still there, less present than it once was, but there, when the pack’s scent--the pack’s scent is gone. Of course it is.
This one has a number of things I like: an established and happy Derek's pack, an independent Stiles trying to find his place again, interesting OC's and best of all, another kind of were-creature. Namely, wereotters! <3 <3 <3
