forever crushing on Paul Rudd (Twelfth Night, or What You Will)
Until he got into the pool, I honestly thought this was just a set of wrestling gifs of somebody’s entrance.
Do you know of any more fics similar to To Whom the Wolf King Bows? I know you had one rec recently and it reminded me of this WIP I adore. Nomadic basically king Derek and Stiles being dropped into this society as an outsider. Thanks!
Sadly, this fic hasn't been updated in over 2 years because it is pretty amazing. ❤️ Anyway!! I don't know a lot of Nomadic!Derek but these are similar in other ways. Enjoy!!!
To Whom The Wolf King Bows by MadcapRomantic | 95.3K | WIP
Stiles Stilinski meets The Wolf King, the very boogeyman he'd spent his younger years terrified of; yet the man is little, if anything, like the tales he's heard. But, Stiles has spent the last ten years of his life as a slave, under the harsh whip of the cruel King Gerard Argent, and trusting Derek - trusting anyone - is beyond difficult.
By Moon And Stars by kellifer_fic | 15.9K | Mature
"Have you heard of this Alpha?" Stiles asks, shuffling up his pallet so Scott has room to sit. Scott does with a grateful little twist of his mouth. Stefan forces him into the Stilinski ceremonial armor when they travel and Stiles can see that it's heavy and doesn't sit well on Scott. He can't shift encased in metal and Stefan knows it.
"I know of him, mostly stories that seem a little fantastical. Shifters exaggerate just like common people. They like their war stories."
"Tell me of him. Tell me a war story."
Golden Boy by trilliath | 127.7K | Explicit
Apparently it still amuses his uncle to buy sex slaves for him, no matter how steadfastly he refuses to use them. Derek ducks into his tent with a resigned sigh, prepared to dress and reassign whatever new beauty Peter has bought him. They do make for loyal servants, so he can't really complain about Peter's 'gifts'. But it is annoying to deal with, to have to spend his evening sorting out a slave instead of being able to go right to bed. It's just something he has to learn to accept as a byproduct of serving alongside his uncle.
But when he lays eyes on the boy laying amid his furs, he finds his breath catching in his throat. His skin is golden with the candle-light glimmering against the sheen of oil that has been slathered on his bared body. His lips are parted, and they work over inaudible words or sounds. His skin is flushed, nipples peaked and pierced with simple but unexpected golden rings. He's spectacularly beautiful in the candlelight. The many glowing candles that have been added to his usual lighting cast glittering edges and shadows, imbuing an almost unearthly golden color to his skin.
It's enough that Derek hesitates.
Unknown Kindness in a Cruel World by Dexterous_Sinistrous | 35.3K | Explicit
The prince carefully observed Stiles. “Do you know who I am?”
Stiles knew he should have. “No,” he answered, knowing the pimp would be unhappy with that answer.
“Are you afraid of me?” The prince asked, his eyes never leaving Stiles.
Stiles’ heart was pounding in his ears, adrenaline pumping through his veins. He knew the pimp would want him to answer with a quip or flirtation. But Stiles didn’t want to lie—not to the prince. And he couldn’t tell why. “No,” he truthfully answered.
This Was How Legends Were Made by 108.5K | Explicit
Caught between the Hales and the Argents in their war, Stiles finds himself a slave of the great Hale pack. Stiles spends each day working hard, hoping to earn his freedom and see his sick father. It also seems each day he’s capturing more and more attention from Derek, the young Hale lord. Stiles tells himself it’s mostly because Derek is merely trying to figure out how to send the annoying, useless slave away- not because of affection, despite the tales coming from the rumor mill.
It doesn’t matter what Derek's intentions are. Stiles can’t bother with love right now. He's got to keep his head down and survive long enough to keep his promise to Kate Argent. After all, she's promised to keep his father safe.
Thank You For This Dance by matildajones | 62.4K | Mature
Derek is not one for dancing, but at a ball he meets Stiles, an orphan, and he becomes quickly attached. He does not care what other people think about Stiles' wealth and status, but it's a lot harder for Stiles to ignore the comments that have haunted him his whole life.
It's even harder to convince Stiles that Derek's feelings are genuine.
The One With The Scottish Wolf Lord by Stoney | 11.7K | Explicit
The Hales are alive and a royal family in Scotland; Stiles is the waif sent to work in the kitchens, elevated to personal attendant/servant to the young Lord Hale. Who happens to be a wolf who can't shift back. (Not without finding... *spoiler*)

hi christine! hope you're well. I was wondering if you knew any fics where Stiles thinks Derek doesn't like him but is actually in love with him? Or if you had a tag for it, could you direct me to it? I looked at your tag page and didn't see it but I definitely could've looked over it. Thank you so much!
Sure! You could also try the enemies to lovers tag.
Landslide by reillyblack | 25.5K | Mature
Beautiful? Check. Dismissive? Check. Hated him? Double check.
Stiles was doomed to develop a crush of epic proportions.
The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me (Is You) by distortedreality | 17.9K | Explicit
Derek is fairly certain the new kid is either an incubus or a witch. Turns out he’s actually his mate. Stiles is 98% certain the brooding guy in the leather jacket is fantasizing about stringing him up by his intestines. Turns out he’s also wrong.
A Wild Heart's Desire by mikkimouse | 13.4K
If there's one thing Stiles Stilinski knows, it's that Deputy Derek Hale absolutely Does Not Like him. The only reason Derek even tolerates him is because their kids are worryingly codependent.
So Stiles is understandably confused when a very feral Derek shows up in his backyard after a call gone wrong and proceeds to move in with him.
He holds up his free hand, eyes still closed. “One second,” he says through gritted teeth. “I’m just taking a moment to mourn the fact that we could have been fucking since–” He cracks open an eye and glares at Derek.
“Freshman year,” Derek supplies. “I’ve pretty much had the biggest crush on you since our freshman year.”
erroneous manoeuvres by slippingfromreality | 5.3K
“Hey, Stilinski!”
Stiles clenches his teeth. “What do you want, Hale?” he shouts back, not bothering to turn around. The smug smirk that’s most likely waiting for him is already seared into his mind from overexposure.
“A date!” the answer comes, still as loud, and most of the bystanders giggle or snort in Stiles’ direction.
Stiles rolls his eyes. This is the third time this week. He’d complain that Hale’s jokes are getting pretty stale, but he’d probably be milking this situation for all that it’s worth, too, if their roles were reversed. “Wrong aisle,” he grouses back, “try the bakery section. I hear they have fresh tarts.”
“He can't blame me for the fact that I live in a building full of people united in the singular effort to ogle Hot Fireman as often as humanly possible."
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."
Broken Nose | 3K
Stiles is convinced that Jock-y Derek Hale hates him. It takes an accidental injury at the beach to turn that all upside down.

When Stiles is eight he see the red string around his wrist that leads to the edge of town.
Ten years later, Alpha Derek Hale returns to Beacon Hills after training with premier Alphas and going to college.

Moments of Stiles and Derek's budding relationship and how the peace doesn't really last.
Alternatively, Stiles will fight anyone who gets between his wolf and him, and Derek will rip the throat of the next idiot stupid enough to try to get him away from his man. And then they get dragged into more shenanigans.
The One with All the Kids byItsreallyjustforresearch83 - (Rating: G, Words: 6527, sterek)
Derek didn't know what he did to deserve to have this again. A house full of people, of family. He's going to be forever grateful to that rouge witch for what she did for him and Stiles, because after all the hurt they went through together, many years later, they're standing in the Pack house, in their house, surrounded by their family.
two hands longing for each other's warmth byEvanesDust - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 11486, sterek)
Stiles and Derek were best friends until Derek started high school, presented as an alpha, and became popular. The following year, their almost nonexistent friendship became even more strained when Derek pushed Stiles away after the deaths of his girlfriend and family.
Still, when Stiles presents as an omega and his first heat approaches, Derek’s the only alpha he wants.
His Abandoned Omega by xcaellachx - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 40491, sterek)
Stiles Stilinski is an omega who was promised to an unknown alpha in a much-anticipated and influential arranged mating. When his alpha never showed, his family and the town took it out on Stiles in the form of physical and mental abuse. He has become a shadow of himself, lonely and desperate for affection.
Derek Hale refused to let himself be trapped in an arranged mating so after college he never returned home. Now he must return to Beacon Hills because his father is ill, though he has a feeling it is nothing more than a trap.
One chance meeting changes both of their lives and Derek is determined to end his arranged mating so he can claim the omega of his dreams with the gorgeous whiskey eyes. Stiles is filled with hope for the first time in years, but he has sworn to save himself for his arranged alpha. Will Derek be able to change his mind or will the town beat Stiles down before he can?
Trust me by madsmeetsmisha - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 43882, sterek)
Derek Hale needed a nanny for his kids. Someone who knew about werewolves, someone who was persistent enough not to throw in the sponge as soon as the kids wouldn't behave, someone trustworthy. Could a young, very talkative man like Stiles Stilinski be what Derek was looking for?
This Wasn't Supposed to Happen by Parkkrys - (Rating: G, Words: 3996, sterek) Stiles didn’t hide this on purpose, there just wasn’t a good time to tell him. Doing this friends with benefits thing with an alpha werewolf maybe wasn’t the best idea but how could he ever say no to Derek? Sure, he had feelings for the man, and this could only end in heartbreak because hey, who would be interested in a long time thing with him of all people? He knew how annoying he could be. He wasn’t even sure how his dad had put up with him all these years. But this has gone on for far too long, the scent blocker and the bracelet that he has been wearing for the past month could only do so much from hiding his not so little secret.

John lived a sad and lonely life after the death of his wife, until one day when he noticed someone had breaking into his home while he was at work.
It Started With a Game by nightlight9 - (Rating: G, Words: 2803, sterek)
It’s one thing to have Stiles as his anchor. It’s another thing entirely to realize that he’s in love with his best friend. His best friend who happens to be three years younger than him and, oh god, John is going to have him arrested. He won’t be able to become a cop because he’ll be behind bars.
You'll Grow Into Your Skin by crossroadswrite - (Rating: T, Words: 11847, sterek)
“So funny story,” Stiles winces, “Remember when I joked you couldn’t get me pregnant?”
Derek nods his head. He remembers pretty much everything from that day.
“Right,” Stiles bobs his head, stops himself and does a little ta-da gesture towards Jacy, “Surprise?”
YOU KNOW YOU WOULDNT WANT IT ANY OTHER WAY

This might be a long shot, but I just finished going through the old “Emissary Stiles” tag on the tag page, and I’m wondering if there happens to be any new fics based off some in the tag. I’m specifically looking for there to be some kind of supernatural convention, the Hale and McCall Packs to be separate, with the McCall Pack holding BH territory and being considered popular/badass and then Derek being super into Stiles? If there’s nothing new, then could you choose a tag/trope that you really love and update it?

(18/18 I 86,946 I Mature)
Derek and Stiles had a happy marriage and two kids. Derek was the Alpha of Beacon Hills and Stiles was his emissary, having gained vast control of magic through a rather dangerous means. One night, Derek has a moment of weakness and sleeps with a former flame. Stiles, in his drunken anger, does the same. Now their relationship is on the brink of an end. Both men still love each other, but the pain and lack of trust threaten to rip everything they've worked for to utter shreds. Meanwhile a dangerous force is looming. Can Stiles and Derek save their marriage while still trying to save the people of Beacon Hills?
(36/36 I 174,966 I Teen)
"Unlike Derek, Stiles still remembers the first time they met. He remembers the confusion at the pull in his chest, tugging him to the boy with big ears and light eyes. He’d been in the grocery store with his mother and Derek with his, and they had all been minding their business, but Stiles had a niggling in the back of his head directing him toward Derek. And when their eyes met for the first time? Stiles’ heart about exploded. He remembers grabbing his chest and gasping and his mother running over and Derek’s mother running over. The boys didn’t even say anything, and poor Derek looked so confused, and Talia and Claudia simply looked at their boys, looked at each other, and immediately set up a time to meet. And that was how it started."
or, stiles and derek suck at being mates, a new threat comes to town, and stiles has to desperately try to save everything he's ever loved from total destruction all while trying to get through his sophomore year unscathed.

Why is this sad? Why am I sad?
This is how I feel about Joshua Trees. They and avocado trees produce fruit meant to be eaten and dispersed by giant ground sloths. Without them, the Joshua Trees' range has shrunk by 90%.
(my own photos)
Not only they, but the entire Mojave ecosystem is still struggling to adapt since the loss of ground sloth dung. their chief fertilizer.
Many, many trees and plants in the Americas have widely-spaced, extremely long thorns that do nothing to discourage deer eating their leaves, but would've penetrated the fur of ground sloths and mammoths. Likewise, if you've observed a tree that drops baseball or softball-sized fruit which lies on the ground and rots, like Osage Oranges, which were great for playing catch at my school, chances are they were ground sloth or mammoth chow.
You can read about various orphaned plants and trees missing their megafauna in this poignant post:

Hi! I hope you did well on your finals.
I’m wondering if there are any fics where Stiles still has part of void? Like he’s not possessed by him anymore but he still has powers and can get that evil dark like look. Maybe like a hunter they’d to fuck with the pack and stiles voids out and it scares the pack and hunters, something similar like that.
Thank you 🎄
Sure.

Then he heard it. Felt it. A dark whisper somewhere in the back of his subconscious.
You know how to fight.
(5/? I 14,713 I Mature I Steter)
In the end all Stiles really has left is his dad, a lonely house, the key and deed to the loft, and a chest filled up with emptiness.
A void, yawning right behind his sternum.
That and the laughter of a fox trapped right beneath his skin, echoing in the hollows of his skull, whispering behind his teeth.
Stiles should have known it wasn’t over.
Magic stains everything it touches after all.

"What the hell is a Stiles?"
*
Stiles' fingers shook as she sent the text - possibly the last words she would ever communicate to anyone. Stiles wanted to believe it was a good plan, that it would work, but that lingering doubt in the back of her head made her dizzy with nausea. This might be it.
Well, at least it's not something stupid like tripping down the stairs, because really, that was a bullshit way to go.
The lightning marks were fading, and it was waking up, and she could hear them coming. Well, shit. It was now or never.

“You never have hurt anyone. Not then and not now. You just made Coach piss his pants and that’s funny shit there.” Jackson told Stiles. They all underestimated how responsible Stiles felt for the Nogitsune and what happened. No wonder he was afraid to go near the pack, not to mention the whole no control over magic thing. He felt Stiles huff out a breath at the part about Coach which was a good start.
Or after the Nogitsune, Stiles keeps secrets, there are new people in Beacon Hills, and the Pack has fallen apart. Stiles starts to figure out his role in the pack, piecing it back together, and trying to keep everyone safe.

(20/20 I 48,544 I Teen I Sterek)
Stiles thought everything leading up to Allison’s death was hell, but he was wrong. Spending senior year dealing with the pack’s dismissal of him while secretly training to be Deaton’s replacement was hell. Feeling guilty and hating himself for what the Nogitsune did was hell. Being in love with someone who would never love him back was hell. Well, if you’re going through hell, keep going.
