    Summary

    “I knew my way in this world was different from everyone else's, no matter what I did, no matter how hard I tried, I found myself burned in the end. So, don't let me be that ashes that choke you, but, let me try to be your candle, and light your way until I die out.”

    His hands trembled, the book almost fell out of his light grip, the air weighing heavily in his lungs and his whiskey brown eyes never left the words written on the paper. Stiles had completely forgotten that he gave this book to Derek; he'd given it to him during one of their private sessions at the prison. The lawyer didn't remember how the book got back to him, and he couldn’t quite be sure of when Derek wrote these words. These words are meant for him, hidden in places that only Stiles can reach in seconds.

    Summary

    "Stiles, we asked you to go to New York after everything...after the Nogitsune because we wanted you to try to live away from all this" She made a vague gesture, "Away from the pack and the danger that comes with it, we wanted you to know that you had options. There are so many bigger and better things out there for you."

    If there was anything that the pack could unanimously agree on, it was that if any of them was going to make something of themselves and maybe even live a peaceful life outside of the supernatural, it would be Stiles. "We just wanted you to be happy," she conceded. "But this isn't the person you were supposed to become. This isn't the Stiles we waited to come back to us."

    Stiles was silent for a moment before he found the right words. "I was happiest here, Laura. And I didn't get a say in whether or not I got to stay. I got shipped across the country to another pack and not one friend to turn to. I had to make concessions for the loss"

    Summary

    “Talia was just telling me an interesting story,” his dad informed him. Stiles didn’t have the nerve to glance over at him, because he knew no matter how much he argued, the proof was all there. The wolves had found him, Parrish had picked him up on the side of the road, he had a fucking picture on his phone. He was screwed. No point in arguing, all it’d do is piss his father off even more.

    “You don’t say,” Stiles offered slowly. “What uh—you know, I like stories. Is it a uh, good one?”

    “It seems to be a matter of opinion,” Talia said with another kind smile. “I hear you had quite the night last night.”

    Okay, time to cut his losses. He was already fucked, all he could do was apologize and hope she didn’t press for him to get fined and arrested. Given he was her husband’s friend’s son, he had high hopes.

    “I’m really sorry,” Stiles blurted out. “It was stupid and-and irresponsible and just—I am so sorry. I shouldn’t have crossed into your territory. I should’ve known better, I do know better! It was a complete lapse in judgement and I am just—I am so sorry.”

    Summary

    Mr. Hale. Derek Hale.

    His gaze suddenly flickering over Stiles.

    And whatever Stiles expected, it wasn’t for Derek to look right through him.

    But maybe Derek forgetting him was kinder to the alternative.
    ~*~
    Stiles and Derek broke up twelve years ago, but now Stiles' husband works for Derek; maybe it isn't too late to put the past on repeat.
