Summary
Stiles is basically doing fine. He's surviving, anyways. So what if it's a struggle to get out of bed most days? Back in high school, everything about the supernatural had seemed edgy and romantic and exhilarating, but after seeing everything he has, wanting to go back to ignorance is only natural. Only then Derek comes back to Beacon Hills and says he's in love with him, and everything changes.
For the worse.
-----------------
Stiles catches himself at the last minute and blinks hard, as if that might change the fact that, yes, the person sliding onto the stool next to him is Derek Hale. He’s more than back in Beacon Hills, he’s right at Stiles’ elbow. And fuck if the unbidden reaction to that doesn't feel like a return to high school: the palpable uptick in his pulse, the anxious desire to be funnier, louder, and brighter balanced with the feeling that he’s already the best version of himself when he’s got this man’s attention on him.
Derek is smiling, his kaleidoscope hazel eyes flitting intently over Stiles’ face in a searching examination of his features. Stiles can feel his mouth pulling into a wide grin. It’s Derek. Derek’s back.
“Hey, hi,” he says. “Hey there.”

Summary
I should go home, he thinks to himself, and finds himself taking a step forward. I should not touch that rock, he thinks, but it’s sleek and glossy like white marble, a smooth pillar with a slight curve in the middle and so he moves forward, reaches out and strokes it.

Summary
No one told Stiles that sacrificing himself in an ancient druid ritual would entail melting runic letters, dreams within dreams within reality, doors cracking open, or general going insane behavior—and all after Derek's left for good, for a fresh start.
He isn't all that surprised when Derek begins showing up in his nightmares, but....
Maybe, just maybe, when the door opens, he'll fall into his safe haven, his anchor, instead of the whispering darkness beyond.~ 🚪✨

Summary
Stiles is doing the best he can. His best friend, a certain Scott McCall, is furiously in love with Allison Argent, resulting in a less than ideal best friend situation. Werewolves are still a huge (inconvenient yet strangely now normal) part of his life. But to add the metaphorical cherry to his metaphorical sundae, Derek Hale (Mr.Tall-Dark-And-Broody himself) is starting to pick up on a secret Stiles has been hiding since the time of his mother's death. A secret he has kept from the pack, his father, and even Scott. And though Derek makes him want to open his mouth and spill all there is to spill, Stiles can't bring himself to open up to the man. He can't.....can he?
OR
Stiles has been abused by a family member ever since his mother's death, and Derek finds out just as the beatings become the worst they have ever been. Shit hits the fan.
