The pulling of a single bit of string can sometimes, perhaps, unravel the entire piece of knitting.
Sometimes the universe decides it has taken too much... and chooses to give back.

Summary
He noticed his pack looking at him, and they didn’t seem as relieved as Stiles expected. In fact they were looking in his direction as if he had grown a second head or something.
“I don’t think you should look so surprised, I’ve been training a lot lately, okay?” He said indignantly, crossing his arms.
“Stiles, that’s not...” Scott said, half pointing at his direction.
That’s when Stiles heard that familiar voice again from behind him, “I think they’re confused about me, buddy.”
Stiles then remembered that he had to thank the stranger who had helped them, but... Wait... That familiar voice… Was that his voice? He turned around abruptly, wide eyed. He took three steps back, tripping and nearly falling on the ground.
Or: Stiles accidentally summons his future self who claims they can heal the nemeton.
If he helps younger Stiles and Derek to see what's always been right in front of them, that's a pleasant coincidence. Right?- Language:

Summary
Derek exhaled tremulously and tried to stay calm. He called several more times, growing steadily more frantic each time, before allowing the truth to settle in:
Stiles’ phone was off.
“No. No, no, no, please, no,” Derek whispered to himself, barely able to see the screen through his tearful eyes.
What had he done? Had he been so blinded by rage that he dismissed Stiles' call for help?- OR -
Fuming over Scott's betrayal, the Alpha is out of his mind with anger. When he receives a call from Stiles in that incredibly inopportune moment, he does not even let the teen speak - just screams at him, blames him for everything, and hangs up.
But then Erica and Boyd show up, frantically insisting that Stiles is out there somewhere, likely hanging onto life by a thread after being tortured for hours...
Will they be able to find Stiles before it's too late?
And just how much of the Stiles they know will be left if they do manage to track him down?- Language:

How to be a Badass Without Trying By Stiles Stilinski by Anxiety_Baker02
Fandoms: Teen Wolf (TV)
18 Jun 2021
Tags
Summary
Five times Stiles was underestimated and one time he proved why he shouldn’t be.
~
Rule #1: Do Not Fuck With Stiles StilinskiNever, ever go to Beacon Hills.
Do not try to attack, take over, or harm this city in any way.Don’t ever go near the Hale pack. Do not speak to them, do not look at them, and do not piss them off. They will come for you.
Don’t harm any member of the pack. Stilinski will get his revenge.
Specifically, never, under any circumstances, harm the sheriff.
If, by some insane act, you manage to hurt Stiles Stilinski, you’d better run because Derek Hale will kill you.
Speaking of Derek Hale, if you touch a single hair on his head, running is pointless because Stiles Stilinski will kill you before you can even blink.
~AKA the 5+1 fic that took on a life of its own, Emissary Stiles, and Stiles proving he’s an absolute badass six times.

Summary
Stiles is the enfant terrible of modernist cooking. Derek is San Francisco’s celebrated chef of haute cuisine. It’s bad enough their restaurants are within spitting distance of one another, but when they’re asked to scout out the next location for the International Food and Wine Festival, the Queso flameado isn't the only thing going down in flames.
[excerpt]:
“I can answer perfectly well, and no, I’m Mieczysław,” Stiles says, taking a step forward. “Stiles is my nickname, and it’s not that I think I’m the hottest shit—although I’m pretty fucking exceptional at what I do—but for one, our industry’s pretty small, and two, not only do we work in the same city, our restaurants are literally blocks apart. But I guess you live in your little bubble, so whatever.” Stiles has this hurt and angry look on his face that makes Derek think this is hardly whatever. But before he can apologize, Stiles barrels on. “Anyway, I don’t need to rely on gimmicks or nepotism to make a name for myself, so you can stop that pretentious, entitled line of thinking right now.”“Oh, shit,” Jackson and Lydia say in the same breath.
Derek couldn’t agree with them more.

Summary
[Complete with stunning artwork by Fae_vorite!] Thinking they're about to crash, Stiles spills his secrets to a stranger on a plane. At least, he thought he was a stranger... Until he later meets Derek, his company's young CEO, who now knows every humiliating detail about him and yet in spite of it all, seems to want to know more. But even as Stiles finds himself falling head over heels for him, he soon starts to realise he’s the only one offering full disclosure. What exactly is it that Derek has to hide?
This story starts out as a Sterek AU romance inspired by the ‘Can You Keep A Secret?’ movie/book by Elise Duran and Sophie Kinsella respectively. But it quickly turns into something more.

Summary
Stiles just looks at him. Studying him. Eyes slowly narrowing like he thinks he’s lying. The hand holding his mother’s conduit drops to slide inside his pocket. And then he just stares down at Derek. Addressing him.
“Why are you here, wolf? This close to The Wall, this close to Samhain? You must have a death wish.”
“Just,” Derek’s eyes slip shut and he exhales heavily through his nostrils, “Just take me to the hunters.”
A beat.
“Even I’m not that big of an asshole.”

Summary
Derek nodded once, reaching for it, all while reminding himself over and over again in his head to thank him with the pun. This was it, this was the moment for him. Stiles would realize he’d understood the pun from yesterday, and would laugh, and Derek would feel relieved, and everything would be great.
His hand closed around the cup and he said, “Thanks for the latte.”
Fuck.
Fuck!
Stiles looked startled, eyes dipping down to the drink Derek was now holding, and then back up. “Sorry, did you—I thought you wanted a coffee, did you want a latte?”
“No.” Derek turned his back on him and walked away, resisting the urge to just head straight back to his car to drive off a cliff.
Thanks a latte! The fucking pun was thanks a latte! Not thanks for the latte! Fuck! How had he messed it up so fucking badly?! It was three words!
“That went well,” Boyd said, catching up with him. Derek just reached out to punch him hard in the arm without even looking.

Summary
“Dude, I can’t show up solo to my ex-girlfriends wedding. I can’t do that,” Scott stressed, his face arranged in an expression that was almost comically anguished, like one of those weird, sad-face, tragic drama masks.
“So we find you a date,” Stiles shrugged, as though it was no big deal. Scott was adorable, in reasonably good shape, and probably the best guy Stiles had ever known, or would ever know. He wouldn’t have any real issues with getting a girl.
“Stiles, it’s in two weeks. Two weeks. How do I find a girl willing to date me, and come abroad with me to my exes wedding, in two weeks?!”
******
A sort of fake/pretend relationship fic set in Florence at Allison's wedding.

Summary
As an officer in the United Earth Alliance, Major Derek Hale understands the order of things and his place in the world. Yet, a decade of war and a lifetime of dedicated service have taken its toll. The only thing that has kept him sane all these years is the video logs of a scientist he’d found years ago, buried in the rubble of a research station on Callisto. He knows that the man in the videos – Stiles – is long gone, lost to the vastness of space, but to Derek, he’s alive. In fact, he thinks he has fallen half in love with the boundless energy and bright-eyed optimism of the image he sees on his screen. Then, everything changes when a fateful mission strands him on the surface of a desolate moon … and brings him face-to-face with a man he had only ever dreamed of meeting.

Summary
Stiles doesn't call him these days. Not since he left Beacon Hills that last time. Not since Stiles left the FBI internship programme in favour of studying Forensic Psychology at NYU. Stiles has texted him a few times in the past, but he never called. Not anymore.
Back then, however, whenever Derek received a call from Stiles or called Stiles in return, it was purely for survival's sake. So Derek doesn't know what to expect from this call. If he's being honest, he's scared of it.x
Or:
It's been years since Stiles and Derek last spoke, but a phone call from the human reconnects them.
They have the chemistry, the history and the shared trauma.
With time and each other, maybe they can have more.- Language:

Summary
The man standing on his porch waiting for him is unmistakable even after six years. Though his hair has grown out longer and there’s a scraggly beard covering his once bare chin, the unexpected guest is undoubtably Stiles.
Derek swallows and tries to subtly catch a whiff of his scent. Then he swallows again when he smells nothing but the Colorado trees.
“Stiles?” His mouth is dry. "What are you doing here?”
Despite the bags under his eyes, Stiles’ smile is bright. “Hey, Derek. I-. It’s been a long time. Can I come in?”
That's all it takes. Derek opens the door.
