    Summary

    "Well, you're a werewolf," Stiles says.

    Kevin has always had a pretty good poker face, but Stiles takes him completely by surprise, enough that there's a tell-tale pause that lasts a beat too long for the, "No I'm not," to be believed.

    Summary

    Steve Harrington doesn’t know how to love right. He knows he loves his parents, but their soul marks have turned to scars on his skin. He doesn’t know what he’s doing wrong. With some help, he figures out it's not his fault.

    Inspired by a kink meme prompt where your soul mark appears when you realise you love someone.

    Summary

    They're professors. They're married. Their students don't realise. Cue shenanigans.

    Multiple short arcs with one-shots (and often pauses) between them. Characters continue from one arc to the next.

    Any ambiguity between being human and being occult/ethereal is entirely deliberate.
