ah, hello! yes, I will rec. 

If Prayer Were the Answer I’d Fall on My Knees by iamaveronica (E, 70K)

I rec’d this twice today, but I guess I’ll do it again because it usurped TMAH for my number one all time Sterek fav and I feel like that needs to be mentioned over and over. Catholic school AU that deals with growing up, coming out, and homophobia. One of the best written things I’ve ever read.

Occam’s Razor by missanthropic (E, 49K)

A magical amnesia story that can’t be missed. Piecing together the story is half the fun. Plotty goodness that is handled spectacularly.

There’s Monsters at Home by calrissian18 (E, 83K)

My (now) all time second favorite Sterek fic. The take on Derek’s character, the slow build from an untrusting character into a trusting one is absolutely gorgeous. Bonus older!Stiles and Erica brotp. I usually don’t care for the “monster of the week” trope, but this is my exception.

To Navigate Your Seas by alisvolatpropiis (E, 26K)

Another fic where I’m blown away by Derek’s characterization. It’s honest and sexy and full of feeling. Who isn’t automatically charmed by Derek surfing? This was the fic that lured me into the trap that is Tay’s writing, so well done.

Misfire by unpossible (T, 28K)

A time-travel AU that’s heartbreaking and lovely. Even though it’s full of angst, it’s also full of hope. A refreshing spin on the “Stiles goes back to fix the fire” trope. Unique and handled perfectly!

Bonus: Spark by rispacooper (M, 9K)

I’ve rec’d this one before, but I can’t get over it. I’ve read it 4 times and I’ll probably read it again tonight, since I brought it up. Stiles is a dragon and Derek is his treasure. I just love everything about it.

bleep0bleep:

fic recs with timey-wimey instances, parallel universes, and characters changing their universe

  • Not a Spark, But a Burn by candyvan (M, 87k) Stiles was supposed to be exorcising a demon, okay? He does not have time for being pinned to the wall by Laura freaking Hale. Or that fic where Stiles is sent back in time and decides to be a meddler. (Gorgeous writing, deliciously action-packed and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time).
  • Where The Inevitable Isn’t by Survivah (M, 41k) Stiles has a magical thingamajig that’s supposed to get him out of danger. Trouble is, it took him really, really far out of danger. Like, to the point where he isn’t in the same universe anymore. ”A part of Stiles had been thinking that he’d come home, and just go, ‘hey, Derek, are we mates and you just haven’t said anything about it?’ and Derek would reply, ‘now you mention it, we are indeed! Now come to my bedchamber, where we will have super hot sex and then cuddle after!’” (Stiles gets sent to an alternate universe where he and Derek are together. Amazing read and the peek into the guerilla war the Others are in is fascinating.) 
  • Fly A Little Faster by mirrorkill (T, 32k) Everyone knows when you go back in time, you shouldn’t step on an ant, just in case you accidentally kill your own grandparent or something. But what happens when you go back in time and, uh, accidentally interrupt the one event that apparently made the Grumpiest Alpha in Town into a ball of mindless manpain? Well, if Marty McFly can do it, so can Stiles Stilinski. All he has to do is get Derek and Paige to fall in love before he gets pulled back to his own time. And before he makes anything worse. That’s easy as pie, right? Right? (Quite possibly my favorite time-travel piece ever.)
  • Play It Again by metisket (T, 63k) In which Stiles goes along with one of Derek’s plans and ends up in an alternate universe as a result. He should’ve known better. He did know better, actually, and that means he has no one to blame but himself. “Laura wants to lure the kid in with food and kindness and make a pet of him, like a feral cat. Derek wants to have him arrested for stalking. They’re at an impasse. (And the rest of the family is staying emphatically out of it in a way that suggests bets have been placed.)” (Slow slow slow burn, and a beautiful story. Favorite Derek/Stiles fic that actually doesn’t have any Derek/Stiles in it, but the setup is so worth it.) 
  • inside these arms series by rufflefeather (T, 18k) Stiles is having the worst day of his life and it keeps happening./ Derek’s worst nightmares didn’t prepare him for this. (Groundhog Day AU done in the most angst-filled and heartwrenching way with a happy ending).
  • But The World Won’t Stop Turning by thepsychicclam (E, 20k)  Derek glances at Stiles, who is watching him with a curious expression.“Oh shit,” Stiles exclaims as comprehension dawns on him. “Everything makes sense now. Derek, I know what the witch did, she cursed you with – “ But before Stiles is able to finish his sentence, everything fades away and Derek is surrounded by darkness. (Everything thepsychicclam writes is gold, and this is no exception. Fits perfectly into canon and beyond.)
  • Spook: A Ghostly Love Story in Three Parts by zosofi (T, 38k) Derek is fifteen when he dies. He’s been fifteen for six years when he meets Stiles. And then suddenly… suddenly things start looking up. (Don’t let the ‘Derek is dead’ part stop you, there’s a happy ending in this one and it’s fantastic.)
  • Time to Begin by trieduntrue (T, 21k) Stiles learns some heavy-duty magic, and Derek convinces him to send him back in time to fix all the mistakes he’s made. But Derek ends up making things worse, and Stiles has to think creatively to save him. And everyone else, including their younger selves. (This was absolutely gorgeous, I reread this so much.)
  • Double Trouble by scatterglory (M, 8k) The Dereks face off across the small clearing he’d been running through, and Stiles realizes with a sick, sinking sensation that he’s not actually seeing double. (Alternate universe Derek comes to the present universe. Hilarious and perfect.) 
  • No Matter When I Am, I Love You by Omni (G, 5k) In the aftermath of his family’s tragic death, Derek can’t possibly believe he’ll ever recover from the pain. When he’s given an unexpected chance to view a future supposedly filled with happiness, all he finds is himself as a stubborn fool who refuses to admit he’s in love. (Young Derek goes to the future and changes things.)
  • nothing ever promised tomorrow today by preromantics (T, 12k) Grocery shopping, waking up, lasagna, and parallel universes. / When Stiles jumps the last two stairs and turns into the kitchen he’s got his mouth halfway open around “Morning, Mom,” before his dad folds down his paper at the kitchen table to look at him. (Stiles is stuck in two simultaneous universes and has to choose between the two. The tone and feel of this one was so bittersweet and was a great read.)
  • you’re the message i was heeding by magneticwave (T, 12k) Stiles Hale: Schrödinger’s widow. (Universes collide when an alternate universe Stiles—married to Derek— comes to the present one.)
  • Love is Mean by BarlowGirl (E, 11k) “Stiles,” Derek’s mouth says. “Yeah,” Stiles says. “That’s me. So who the hell are you?” He doesn’t like the smile that curves Derek’s mouth. It’s a predator’s grin, and for a moment, Stiles wonders if this is what the moment before being slowly eaten feels like. (Derek switches places with a darker version of himself.)

Thanks to everyone who has posted their favourite fic of the week to my submission box, so that everyone get’s a chance to read them. A lot of us are always wondering what the best fics are out there, and some of us endlessly searching for something good to read and being doubtful about it. As promised that I would be submitting a sterek rec list every Sunday’s, here are some fics which have been sent through for your entertainment. 

This was going to be submitted on the 2nd of March as indicated here but I’ve realised the fandom’s spirit is very low lately and deserve to have a couple of fics that they can read and feel great afterwards! Have this rec list and another will be posted next week on Sunday the 2nd of March. 

P.S. Feel free to submit as many fics as you want throughout the week for it to be shared to everyone! 

Our Lives Are Changing Lanes by Grimm 

Explicit, Words: 47,53, ★★★★★

There’s a lot of screaming going on inside the first house Stiles visits. He isn’t really worried, because it sounds like kids, but then the door opens and hi, says his dick, because the dude in front of him is gorgeous, built like a god with a face like thunder. Stiles wants to lick that solid jaw line. Hold the fuck on, says his cop brain, because the dude’s got kids hanging all over him; one’s on his back, skinny legs looped around his waist, and another two hanging off one arm, toes barely brushing the ground. There’s a tubby toddler clinging to his leg like a koala, and he’s got a baby tucked into the crook of the one arm that doesn’t have kids hanging off it. Stiles’ mouth drops open.

“How many of those kids did you kidnap?” he asks before he can wrangle his brain into submission.

The man gives him a look that says what the fuck is wrong with you and snaps, “You think I’d subject myself to this on purpose?”

"Oooh,” says one of the kids hanging off his arm. “I’m telling Mom.”

Electricity In the Contact by ladyblahblah 

Explicit, Words: 27,067, ★★★★

In which Derek has been invited to the Greater Pacific Northwest Alpha Symposium, Stiles, stop saying that), and showing up unattached would mean an arranged marriage. When the rest of the pack objects, he agrees to let Stiles come along to pose as his mate. Derek is reasonably sure that he’s not going to make it out of this weekend alive.

Tell Me We’re Dead by pprfaith 

Not Rated, Words: 2,281, ★★★★★

Stiles’ is not his name. His Name is something older than the world and wider than the sky.

What You Can’t See by darkmagess 

Teen, Words: 54,420, ★★★★

A new threat comes to Beacon Hills, putting all its supernatural inhabitants in danger. A true alpha and banshee are rare and valuable quarry, but Stiles and Derek are the easiest targets.

The Butterfly Effect by jediokc

General Audiences, Words: 25,967, ★★★★★

The Nemeton brings a visitor from the future to Beacon Hills.

Only Human by darkmagess 

General Audiences, Words: 3,102, ★★★★★

After this last year of additional abuses at the hands of both friends and enemies, Derek finally starts to deal with the things that have been done to him after returning to Beacon Hills. There’s only one place to go and one person to talk to, though, and he’s not sure what to expect when he asks Stiles to listen.

(Sacred) In the Ordinary by idyll

Explicit, Words: 78,759, ★★★★★

The Pack, after college, graduate school and the starting of careers, comes back to Beacon Hills. Nothing’s gotten less complicated after all this time. Based on a kink meme prompt that grew legs and got serious.

Cupboard Love by mklutz

General Audiences, Words: 32,682, ★★★★★

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.

SHIP: Stiles Stilinski x Derek Hale

This list will only include complete works, which have all been read and approved by me.

Don’t Worry Baby by kalpurna (Explicit | 20,276 words | AU)

“You know you’re allowed to ask for vanilla sex, right?” he says, afterwards. “We can do whatever…

alwaysfiguresitout:

outofsarcasm: Sterek Shippers, give me explanations  and reasons as to why sterek is a thing?! I don’t see the romantic part of it (beyond the actors being dorks and adorable together ) and I need it explained to me. 

I got into it through tumblr, before I’d ever even seen the show, so it was already a done deal (and a large part of that is because of how adorable the actors are together).  In fact, I’ve only ever really watched the show for those two, and don’t actually pay that much attention - I’m way more into the fandom than the actual show itself.  If I watch it completely objectively, I probably don’t see that much sterek in the show itself.

Desperately looking for a fic I read years ago (and I do mean years, maybe even a decade)…

It was Spike/Willow, human au, historical I think…maybe set in northern England but not sure…

The main thing I remember is that they got married and both wrote the most beautiful wedding vows… but for the life of me can’t remember anything else about it…

If anyone knows it I would be eternally grateful

And Carol caught her in the act and was covering for her?

Lizzie’s totally crazy and thinks people are better off as walkers.  And would explain how she caught the flu.
