One sentence a day keeps the hunters away |
Sometimes all you need is a huge 55K fic filled with UST, action, drama and sex. Sometimes, instead, all you need to change the outcome of your day is one small sentence. Sometimes all you need is love. Or Derek/Stiles - which is kind of the same thing, if you ask me. |
Day thirty
25. karma
The song playing was an old one but it didn’t keep him from rocking out — belly-dancing out, really — as he made dinner; it was only unfortunate for dinner’s sake that Derek walked in just as he was letting his hips sway into the chorus of ‘Karma Slave’.
Day two
2. moon
His face is silver and the honey color of his eyes glints like glass under the moonlight. Derek realizes that werewolves aren’t the only ones who belong under the white moon.
day one
4. velvet
Derek’s hair felt like velvet and Stiles couldn’t keep himself from touching it. Petting it was nice, and it seemed that Derek liked it too judging from the strange rumbling that came from his chest each time. He had asked him if he was purring once and Derek hadn’t responded.
Day one
17. books
Stiles starts reading mythology and lore out of necessity (comes with the whole my-best-friend-is-a-werewolf territory). But when his dad catches him one reading one day and says, “I guess I know what you want to do in college”, Stiles sits up and realizes that he can see himself doing this-and like it.
Day nineteen
4. dragon
Smoking was the first intimate thing they shared together- Derek teaching him how to hold the menthol in his lungs while sitting on Stiles’ roof and gazing at the stars; and later at he boy’s request how to blow the smoke out his nostrils so he could look like a dragon.
Day eighteen
6. bookmark
Stiles finds little messages he wants to leave Derek every time he wakes up first, placing a bookmarked novel on his pillow when he gets out of bed, knowing Derek will read the passages circled in red and hold them in his heart until he can see his mate again.
because misery loves company.
Day One
8. grass
Small droplets of dew coated the knee high grass Derek led Stiles through, it tickled their legs and Stiles, being allergic, jumped on Derek’s back, surprising him, as they fell towards the ground Derek turned so he could land on his back, facing Stiles, under him, Derek’s lips smothered his boyfriends yelp as they thudded onto the green grass below.
Day seventeen
2. stardust
The kid’s stage name is Stiles, and the smattering of glitter sparkling bright as stardust across the bridge of his nose makes him look just young and innocent enough that there’s an extra spike of adrenaline in the men watching him dance; from the second Derek sees the kid strut out onto the bar, he’s determined to make the boy his.
Day sixteen
10. archery
Somehow Stiles talks Allison into giving him archery lessons, convinced he needs to bring something to the table as the alpha’s mate, and though he discovers he has no hand for weaponry he also learns he plays a much larger role in the pack’s stability than he could’ve imagined.
