Summary
It was a sad day when one had to resort to time travel because things were just so fucked up. Stiles should know. He went back to undo the whole ‘Beacon Hills is a death trap’ thing but for now he would just settle for knowing where the fuck he was. Even the year would be a nice start. Someone? Anyone?
Or, the one where Stiles travels back in time, karma comes to bite him in the ass, and he ends up as Kate Argent's hunter mentor. He didn't take Peter Hale into account either, and he definitely didn't sign up for everything that came after.
His life.

Summary
“If you lose that ship, I will hunt you down and kill you.”
His mother’s promise echoed in Shane’s mind, taunting him as he surveyed his crew. Shane had made his own promise to his mother before he left: of course, he could handle the crew of the Voyageur. A rowdy band of pirates could always be kept in line with the promise of wealth and women. As long as Shane kept each treasure in a steady stream, the men would obey, the ship would return to harbor, and Yuna wouldn’t murder him.
Perhaps none of those promises mattered now that Shane and his entire crew were drowning in the Sōya Strait.***
Historical Fiction Prince/Pirate AU.
Pirate Prince Shane Hollander and the pirate crew of the Dutch/Japanese ship The Voyageur are shipwrecked off the east coast of Siberia.
Tsarevich Ilya Rosanov is on a hunt to learn more about the exclusive Dutch-Japanese trading routes. And a very lucky crew just landed in his lap.

Summary
In which Stiles goes along with one of Derek’s plans and ends up in an alternate universe as a result. He should’ve known better. He did know better, actually, and that means he has no one to blame but himself.
“Laura wants to lure the kid in with food and kindness and make a pet of him, like a feral cat. Derek wants to have him arrested for stalking. They’re at an impasse. (And the rest of the family is staying emphatically out of it in a way that suggests bets have been placed.)”

Summary
Max stands, pacing again, and says, “I mean, what do I do? I can’t tell them I know now. It’s way too late for that.”
“It’s really okay,” Troy says far too optimistically. “It’s not that big of a deal.”
“Yeah, you can say that because you're not the one who heard Ilya tell Shane he misses his slutty little mouth."
Or: The Centaurs' newest rookie speaks Russian. It's too bad that Shane and Ilya don't know that.

Summary
He whispered an incantation and they both watched a green flower bud appear in her palm. Slowly it grew larger and changed from green to yellow to a red so dark it looked as though the flower had been dipped in blood. As the petals spread and the bud bloomed, a small, violet butterfly no bigger than a coin came from the middle of it, hovering over Morgana’s hand.
“Magic can be beautiful,” Merlin whispered as Morgana stared at the butterfly. It rose to a point where it was right in front of her face, hovered there for a moment, then moved again to perch on the end of her nose, its wings fluttering softly. From where he sat in front of her Merlin chuckled. “It has a mind of its own, magic.”
Morgana laughed softly as the butterfly flew from her nose and around her head before moving towards the window, vanishing into the night as it flew through the broken glass.
