"Stiles Stilinski is a senior in college working on his thesis. Derek Hale is the grumpy (though inhumanely attractive) special collections librarian. All they needed was a common interest to spark a friendship that becomes more than either of the bargained for."

"Stiles laughs. "The day I become a mail-order bride is the day I eat my hat."

"You don't even wear a hat."

"I'll buy a hat for the occasion," Stiles says. "A white one with a veil."

(Stiles doesn't eat a hat, but that's just because he's too busy with his new husband, his five children, his new husband's ex, and a deadly feud with the neighboring ranch)"

"Scott is never bitten, so Stiles never meets Derek or learns about werewolves. He is, however, since a young age, captivated by a recurring dream of a beautiful, red-eyed wolf that he comes to hold dear to his heart. After college, he moves to Seattle and decides to get a tattoo to acknowledge his dream Wolf, finding a lot more than he expected at Triskele Tattoo.

In which Derek is a tattoo artist and a good alpha, Laura is alive, and Stiles and Derek share each other's dreams."

""Yes," Peter said, putting a hand between Stiles' shoulder blades and shoving him so he stumbled forward a few feet. "He's for you, Derek."

"What?" Stiles yelped. Derek's nose flared and one side of his mouth raised up in a feral grin. Stiles whirled around to look at Peter. "What the hell are you talking about?" he exclaimed. "This is not what I agreed to!"

Peter gave him an infuriatingly calm look. "You said, and I quote, 'Mr. Hale, I will do anything for the money.' You signed the papers. You got yourself into this. And now you are going to do what you promised to do."

And so: Stiles, deep in Peter's debt, is offered up to Peter's nearly feral nephew in an effort to keep him going over the edge of madness."

Fighter!Derek, sounds like that dog-fight movie with Jet Li.

"Sharp, warm points drag against his throat, and Derek probably doesn't even need to hear the staccato of Stiles' heart, although he's sure he can. Can probably feel Stiles' jugular doing a tap dance against his tongue. If he wasn't about to die horribly, Stiles might laugh. All the hours he's spent imagining Derek's mouth on him and he's finally got it."

Feral Derek.

Has a sequel!

"AU from 1x04, "Magic Bullet."

  "Why the hell did you do that?" Derek demanded. "Why would you bond with me? You were going to leave me for dead, you didn't want anything to do with helping me."

  "Okay, first of all, that was like two hours ago and I've grown a lot as a person since then," Stiles said."

""Holy crap!  Why the hell did you lie to incredibly powerful magical beings with trust issues?  How was that Plan A?"

Derek says, "We're not arguing about this, it's already done."

"Like hell we're not fighting about this," Stiles says, indignant.  "What were you thinking?"

"I was thinking it was worth the risk if it kept you alive!  And it worked, so drop it."

"You had no idea that it was going to work!" Stiles throws his hands up.  Why is Derek the most frustrating werewolf in the history of ever, why is Stiles even helping him, why is this his life?  "Why did they even believe you in the first place?"

Derek says, "You reeked of me," which is unfair.  Stiles only smelled because he'd gotten covered in Derek's bodily fluids trying to staunch the bleeding."

"It's been years since Derek escaped from the hunters who killed his family and bound him in his human form. He travels solo, never staying in one place, keeping under the radar--until a skinny, smart-mouthed kid stows away in the back of his truck.

Four months ago Stiles's first kiss put his best friend in a coma. His dad gave him a couple hundred bucks and a hug and told him to run. By the time Stiles witnesses the cage fighter known as Wolverine take out a shotgun and its wielder with his bare hands, he's got a plan. He knows there's a school in New York for kids like him. All he has to do is get there.

 

OR, in which Derek is the werewolf version of Wolverine and Stiles is Rogue and the plot of X-Men progresses accordingly, with a few notable deviations."

"When Stiles gets thrown into the bank vault about twenty minutes after him, Derek isn't even surprised.

As it turns out, neither is Stiles."

"Stiles' Jeep grinds to a halt, he sees someone running through the rain, he's not expecting it to be Derek. He's not expecting a Derek without any memories either, or an Alpha pack that's coming for all of them. He probably should've, because lately nothing goes the way he expects."

"Derek+Stiles+fairies = love spell

"Make love to me," Derek demands.

What."

""I called you a slave-driver!" Stiles cried hysterically. "I called you an ogre! I stole all the blue paperclips!"

Derek raised an eyebrow at him.

"That's company property!" he shouted, waving his arms madly in distress.

Derek ran a hand over his face. "It's not theft if the vice president of the company gives you permission."

""It's okay," the guy says, "I'm Derek Hale. I'm from the future.""

Ch: 3/3, w: 6k

"In which Derek and Stiles are made aware of their potential and have to make a choice about what their relationship will be.

"Let me get this straight," his dad says. "You're telling me a witch told Derek and yourself that you could be destined to be together and now Derek will be going to college with you?"

Stiles shrugs, resting his hands on his legs to stop himself from fidgeting. "That's about it, yep.""

"Derek is in heat but doesn't recognize it for what it is. Stiles knows that Derek needs him but he doesn't know why. The knotting is a surprise to both of them.

"Fuck." Derek's breath is hot across his chest where his face is buried. "I'm sorry... I didn't know... I didn't realize."

"Didn't realize what?" Stiles pants into his neck, trying to relax, resisting the urge to try and pull away again. He can feel the unforgiving pressure of Derek's cock inside him, the tug of where they're joined. "What the fuck's the matter with your dick?""

Ch: 1/1, w: 6.5k

""Stiles knew damn well what a pissed-off wolf sounded like, and every hair on the back of his neck was telling him that somewhere in this room was a very pissed-off werewolf." An AU in which Derek is feral, Stiles is magical, and they eat a lot of fast food."

The one where they are kidnapped and help hostage for a month.

And then suddenly... suddenly things start looking up.
A ghostly romance, as requested by Varlovian for the Teen Wolf Pack Charity Project."

"It doesn't sit well with Stiles, the thing at the police station and with Erica. It niggles at him from the back of his mind, screaming PAY ATTENTION TO ME. Because Derek's apparently familiar enough with flirting to do it successfully, like it's something that comes naturally to him, but what kind of broody misanthropic guy flirts?"
