    Summary

    “I’m just hoping, you know, that this captain thing will just— I don’t know— make everything feel alive again,” Napoleon says, ripping apart a napkin, thrumming with restless energy, “I love hockey, I’ll always love it, I’ll always be it, but. God. I don’t know. Sometimes, it just feels like I’m skating in circles, seeing nothing but the same boards every time.”

    A fic about falling in love, depression, therapy and recovery, in an ice-hockey trench coat.

    Summary

    “Derek, what’s going on?” Erica asks.

    Derek hesitates to respond, trying to decide on the most concise way to tell the story without his disgust bleeding through. Marie beats him to it.

    “After the Argents’ attack, we were the only pack who would give them shelter. As thanks, it was agreed my daughter would marry a member of the Hale pack when she came of age.”

    “But Derek is no longer an option because a marriage pact can’t interfere with a pack’s hierarchy,” Lydia fills in, disbelief dripping from every word. “And now every other member of the pack is mated, you’ve finally come calling to sink your claws into Stiles.”

    *

    When Derek and Stiles stumbled into a friends with benefits relationship purely by accident, they weren’t expecting it would one day save their asses when a threat from Derek’s past comes knocking. All they need to do is pretend to really be in love to avoid an arranged marriage agreed to years ago with a pact of blood. Considering they hadn’t bothered setting up boundaries when the ‘benefits’ first started, it’s no surprise that the lines begin to blur and Derek’s eyes are eventually opened to a truth he hadn’t been ready to face.
