Big Honkin' TW Rec List

[the_deep_magic]

I realize much of this is taken from other rec lists, particularly aliassmith’s, but, well, it’s kind of hard to go wading into the swamp of TW fic without a map.  There are leeches.  Metaphorically.

Also, there’s a whole bunch of long!fic (over 20K words) that is presumably awesome but I just haven’t gotten to yet because I prefer to read my fic all in one sitting, which is seriously cutting into my sleep time.  I’m working on that.  (1lostoneficspot, all of your stuff’s on my “read me” list, I swear!) You’ll note these lean heavily toward the explicit side, but, uh, if you’ve read my back catalogue, this should not surprise you.  I warn for underage.  And, er, other things which may or may not be knotting.

Fave Authors (and links to all their TW fic)
Entanglednow, Ladyblahblah, Lolafeist, Twentysomething

My very favorites are marked with a *

AUs

Alpha Spikes by starbeast (NC-17, ~62,200 wds)
Alphas are like royalty and are offered their choice of any age eighteen-and-up virgin Omega for each year's heat season, as a 'thank-you' to all they've done for their compounds throughout the year. Derek is an Alpha and...yeah, Stiles. Stiles is an Omega. And still a virgin. In every way. And he's just turned eighteen. This...is not his day.
Warnings: consent issues, knotting
Love me some heat!fic.  And Derek’s manpain.

*DILF by twentysomething (NC-17, ~30,800 wds)
Today is Scott's first day of kindergarten and Derek is terrified.
Warning: kid!fic
Because Stiles would obviously be the best kindergarten teacher ever.

Go for the Gold (And a Few Other Things) by spiritsflame (NC-17, ~14,800 wds)
Stiles came to the Olympics with one goal- get a gold medal. By Opening Ceremonies, he has two goals. Win a gold medal, and sleep with Derek Hale. Unfortunately for him, those two goals are equally difficult.
Obligatory Olympics AU.  Have fun imagining Stiles in a Speedo.  I did.

Last Lovesong of a Dying Lemon by wldnst (R, ~10,400 wds)
Stiles' Jeep keeps breaking down. Derek is a mechanic.
Why is Stiles/Jeep not a pairing?  Would that really be weirder than anything else in this fandom?

The Sanctuary by chase_acow (NC-17, ~24,500 wds)
Stiles runs away during his first heat, right into the waiting and ambiguously scary arms of the Alpha's nephew, Derek Hale. He doesn't have any choice except to submit, but along the way, he digs up a mystery that threatens his family and even the town's safety.
Warnings: underage, consent issues, violence
More heat!fic.  Mmmm…

*Tear Out All Your Tenderness by ladyblahblah (NC-17, ~1500 wds)
AU/future fic, in which Stiles is also a werewolf, and Derek likes the thrill of the chase.
Outdoor!sex!

Words Like Sparks by kototyph (NC-17, ~6200 wds)
He's sitting on the bus, letting the music in his headphones drown out the world, and glances up to see a life-sized poster of Derek screaming into a microphone pasted to the wall across from his seat. The man's lips are peeled back from his teeth in a snarl and Stiles has a sudden, brutally vivid sense memory of exactly how they feel sinking into the junction of his thigh and groin.
Stiles is a songwriter; Derek is the rock star who performs his songs.  There’s biting.

Angst
(N.B.: I don’t do unresolved angst, so all of these have some degree of a happy ending.  Also, classifying anything in this fandom as “angst” is kind of arbitrary because Derek exists.)

Advanced Vocabulary by lolafeist (NC-17, ~4400 wds)
“Why do you like me?” Derek asks as he folds his shirt and drops it onto Stiles’ computer chair.
“For your body,” Stiles says.
Warning: underage
The perfect combination of ouch and awww and hnnngh.

And You Say You’re Alone by taelynhawker (NC-17, ~30,300 wds)
Between the kanima, the Argents, and Peter's untimely return from the dead, everything has fallen apart. Stiles and Derek try to put their lives back together once the crisis has passed. Stiles deals with the aftermath of being tortured, and the distance growing between he and Scott. Derek attempts to become a stronger alpha and keep his pack safe, and that includes Stiles.
Warning: underage, aftermath of torture
One of the few fics I’ve seen that has Stiles dealing with the very serious consequences of what he went through at the end of S2 (and the fact that Scott really is kind of a shitty friend when it counts).  Stiles finally confronting Chris Argent wins all the things.

*More Wolf Than Boy by herlovewasajoke (NC-17, ~8000 wds)
Stiles always tries to protect the ones he loves, but sometimes he's the one who needs protection. (Or, in which Stiles is a werewolf and Derek didn't make him that way.)
Warning: knotting
I just adore the set up and the reveal in this, and the only thing I don't like about it is the fact that it ends.  I want more in this 'verse.

What Desperate Times Call For by taelynhawker (NC-17, ~6900 wds)
Stiles could have stayed on campus, he might have been safe there. But his pack is in danger and he won't leave them alone to face it. Derek's forced to make a choice he never wanted to.
Warning: violence, dub con of an unusual nature (read end notes if you want more info/spoilers)
I won’t spoil this one for you, but it deals with a suggestion that pops up a lot in Derek/Stiles fic but I’ve never actually seen written.  And I love the entire pack actually working together.

PWP

*The Alexandrian Solution by bexless (NC-17, ~5300 wds)
"I accept your body!" Stiles says hurriedly. "I accept you. Sexually."
There is a pause. Derek says, "Thanks."
Warning: knotting
This is actually the fic that aliassmith recced on Twitter that got me into this whole mess because I was all “Gee, I know nothing about this fandom, but I’ve never read a knotting fic.  Is this something I need in my life?”  ::facepalm::  Incidentally, I’m still on the fence about the knotting.

All of Him by lolafeist (NC-17, ~1800 wds)
Derek has basically zero capacity to express what he wants. So Stiles has no choice but to stumble headlong into his own fantasies and budding kinks, hoping some of them intersect with Derek’s, that they can map out some of the things Derek’s never allowed himself to have.
Warnings: underage (probably), crossdressing
I classified this as PWP because, on the surface, it’s about Derek in pretty pink panties.  But there is so much characterization and depth to their relationship packed into so few words, the writing is just phenomenal.  Also: panties.

*The Creepy Cave by lolafeist (NC-17, ~4100 wds)
Stiles looks up. Slowly. “Holy shit,” he says. The tentacle is attached to more tentacles which are attached to a giant glowing squid thing. “That is not the droid we were looking for.”
Warnings: underage, sex pollen, dub con, tentacles
You’ll laugh, you’ll cry (from laughing), you’ll totally dig Frank.

*Fuzzy Logic by sparseparsley (NC-17, ~6500 wds)
Derek and Stiles switch bodies because of wizard reasons and Stiles just wants to know what that awesome scent is.
Hysterrrrrrrical.  Is there anyone who wouldn’t want to play around in Derek’s body for a little while?  Or Stiles', for that matter?

I Let the Beast In and Then by twentysomething (NC-17, ~2400 wds)
Stiles rolls his eyes. "What could go wrong, Dad? You nixed everything fun."
Warning: underage
Just some fun, snarky porn.

I’ll Just Entertain Myself by entanglednow (NC-17, ~3000 wds)
Stiles is really bad at sitting still once he's got an idea in his head.
Here, have some top!Stiles for your troubles.

I Wanna Take You To A- by twentysomething (NC-17, ~5100 wds)
He doesn't like to think he's following orders, but he does slink away to the bar, where he thinks it's marginally quieter. At least it sounds like Ale-ale-jandro isn't right in his ear, anyway. Stiles sighs. He'd already texted Scott from the car and gotten back 'srry w allison bro derek gve me nite off.'
Warning: underage
Even MORE fun, snarky porn!  Also contains what may be my favorite line of Stiles dialogue ever: "You're all cool and collected. Me, I'm like a speak and spell here. You keep pushing the 'yes' button."

Rock and a Hard Place by mrsronweasley (NC-17, ~8400 wds)
Stiles is forced to spend the night at Derek's. Oh, no, the horror.
Forced-to-share-a-bed!fic.  Well, kinda.  Not quite “forced.”  It’s just some awesome porn, okay?

Shelter by five_ht (NC-17, ~8000 wds)
After the rave, Stiles doesn't want to go home, and Derek doesn't want him to either.
Warning: underage, knotting
Some really lovely fingering and smitten!Derek.  And, erm, explicit knotting.  I AM STILL TRYING TO WORK OUT MY FEELINGS, OKAY?  When it works, it works.

*Undertow by entanglednow (R, ~5000 wds)
"I don't want you to die because my swirls weren't swirly enough."
Not as porny as the others and possibly not even PWP at all, but this hits my bodywriting kink and hits it hard, so I’m counting it.  When it’s your rec list, you can do what you want.

A Warm Bed Full of Good Things by lolafeist (NC-17, ~5100 wds)
Stiles can’t be expected to have a rational response to a bunch of hot people wanting to touch his wiener in the name of family bonding.
Warnings: (probably) underage, group sex, het
Stiles/everyone!  Pack bonding is fun times!

Everything Else (That is Awesome)

All You’re Giving Me is Friction by drunktuesdays (R, ~4700 wds)
Jake turned to Derek. "Who is that?" he said, incredulous.
"Don't even start," Derek said, and shoved Stiles in the direction of his clean laundry.
Say hello to my love of alpha-bait!Stiles.

Brightness Fills Empty Space by ellievolia (NC-17, ~12,500 wds)
Derek is cursed into humanity, and from then on lies a path towards self-discovery. And Stiles.
Warning: (probably) underage
Love this characterization of Stiles: confident, self-aware, imperfect.  And why is there not more human!Derek fic?

The Complementary Series by thefarofixer (4 fics, ratings vary, ~37,600 wds total)
Danny is not anybody’s gay yoda. He’d like to make that much clear.
Warning: underage
The summary is from the first fic, which is Danny!POV and is marvelous.  The others in the series are a bit different in tone, though also marvelous, and I hope thefarofixer intends to continue it, because the last in the series paints a really interesting backstory.

Nothing Gets By a Stilinski AKA Stiles Had to Get His Awesome From Somewhere by goddessofbirth (R, ~5900 wds)
In Which Sheriff Stilinski almost gives Stiles a heart attack
Warning: underage
Does what it says on the tin.  Hilarious, hot, and surprisingly poignant.

*Reasonable to Assume by saucery (NC-17, ~32,500 wds)
"You're a werewolf! He's a werebaby! How can you not know what to do with him?"
Warnings: underage, kid!fic
Pack-mom!Stiles is not really my favorite thing in the world, but it’s done really well here.  Alpha-bait!Stiles, however, IS my favorite thing (well, one of them), so there’s also that.

Reckless Abandon by elandrialore (NC-17, ~3200 wds)
Derek feels ancient against the first blush of adulthood that Stiles is experiencing, too old and too jaded, but it doesn't stop him from scenting the air anytime Stiles is near. Doesn't stop him from wanting to rub his face against Stiles’s flushed skin and to peel off his clothes to find out where the flush stops.
Warning: underage (specifically used as a kink)
First in a short series.  I find it hot in a kind of squirmy, uncomfortable way.  I don’t know if that counts as a warning, but there it is.

Runnin’ by spikedluv (PG-13 so far, WIP, at ~70,000 wds now)
This is a loose re-write of Season One with Stiles as a werewolf.
The only WIP on here, but it’s being updated regularly and I adore it.  It’s faithful enough to canon to be plausible (if that word even makes sense in this context which includes werelizards), but with its own fascinating twists.  The latest chapter (5) is especially gut-wrenching.

So Your Roommate is a Werewolf: A Cut-out and Keep Guide by concernedlily (NC-17, ~3400 wds)
“Scott told me you think your roommate is one of us,” Derek says when Stiles picks up, instead of ‘hello, Stiles’ or ‘how are you, Stiles’ or ‘how is the scary world of university treating you, Stiles’ like a normal person.
“Yeah,” Stiles says. “It’s so great to hear your voice, Derek. I’ve missed you so much. Nothing is the same without you.”
Derek gets an A+ in problem solving.

Taking Off the Edges by ark (NC-17, ~8800 wds)
Scott's regard turning completely away hurts more than the wounded, incredulous eyeballing. He's bright red to the tips of his ears, and his hands are balled up tight into fists. “Tell me what the hell you were going to tell me, then,” Scott says. He's not looking at Stiles anymore, so Derek's the one who answers.
“That we're paired,” says Derek, calmly and decisively, from over Stiles's shoulder.
Paired-ness and feelings top!Stiles and all the good things.  Also Scott and Stiles being, like, friends?  Which I think is supposed to be a thing?

*Touchpaper by entanglednow (NC-17, ~8300 wds)
Danny is bruised. Their werewolf drama has officially bruised Danny. This is the worst day ever.
Warning: underage
HOT LIKE BURNING.  COUSIN MIGUEL APPROVES.

Will of the Weakness by cheshyr (PG, ~2200 wds)
Whenever Derek threw Stiles into walls, he always assumed that the teenager didn't fight because he couldn't. Not once did he consider the possibility that Stiles was holding back.
Stiles is a badass.
