I'd rather play at hug o'war

So I am working my way through season one of Teen Wolf. Again. It's becoming a habit when it comes to the end of semester hysteria, and by habit, I mean this is the second time I've done this to make it through the mad rush of last papers and finals with my sanity in tack.

Anyway. It occurred to me as I was watching the scene between Stiles and his father in "Co-Captain" for the millionth time that maybe the Sheriff doesn't talk about his wife. Like, at all. That Stiles reacted the way he did because the Sheriff just doesn't admit that he still feels her loss every day. He's bottled all of that up even as he still wears the ring she placed on his finger all those years ago, still looks at Stiles and sees her, and that's why he really drinks. It's not the stress of the job, not really. It's the stress from her not being there every day. The stress that he's maybe-kinda-sorta fucking up this whole raising-Stiles-thing.

I swear, I don't know if I want to hug or punch Jeff Davis. On any given day, it's one or the other or both because the Stilinski men are very likely going to be the death of me.

Title: The Strong Scent of Evergreen
Pairing: Derek/Girl!Stiles
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Derek and Stiles start something new. "I am, you know," she whispers against his mouth, and he tilts his head in question. "Yours."
Spoilers/Warnings: This exists in a universe in which Stiles is and has always been a girl. Everything that took place in season 1 has taken place as on the show, as have some of the developments that took place in the webisodes "Search for a Cure" (the hospital and town I mention are real, because I am just that anal, but I'm not sure if it's ever noted where Dr. Fenris works. However, Mr. Posey also plays the doctor Jackson visits in "Wolf’s Bane," so take it with a truckload of salt). Stiles' relationship is, for all intents and purposes, the same with Scott and her dad, but I would wager some of Derek’s physical aggression towards Stiles – i.e., that one time that Stiles' head met his steering wheel and it was awesome – likely wouldn’t happen in a 'verse where he is a she. There is dominance, violence (in which Stiles is hurt), and loads of under-age sexytimes, as well as general wolvliness, but all awesome things in the fandom considered, this is rather tame by comparison.
Notes: This fic would not be what it is today if not for the awesomeness that is januarylight; I honestly cannot stress that enough. Title comes from the song "Passenger Seat" by Death Cab for Cutie.
