verushka70So like a month and a half ago I started binge-watching Teen Wolf, which I had never seen before because I haven't had cable TV in forever. It was in my Amazon Prime video queue for like over a year; I merely waited because my first choice supernatural creature is vampires, not werewolves.
First few episodes hooked me, especially when the Derek/Stiles interaction began. What chemistry! Sadly, this may be the fastest I got into and then got disillusioned with a show ever (yay, streaming video and binge-watching? \o?). I finished S4 now and I'm bummed at what happened to the show... same ol' formulaic supernatural stuff, just like happened on Vampire Diaires. Haven't seen S5 yet, but post-S4 I'm only in it for Stiles, really. Actually, I'm in it for Stiles' hands because I haven't seen hands and forearms this sexy since CKR in dS/C6D and Matthew McConaughey in, like, anything he's ever done but especially True Detective S1.
So I went on AO3 to find Derek/Stiles fic and there are over 37,000 Derek/Stiles fics. Overwhelmed, I looked for and found an LJ with Sterek recs. It so happened the very first of their Derek/Stiles recs that I read was literally one of the best slash fics I've ever read -- not merely one of the best (if not the best for me based purely on how it pushes my buttons) Derek/Stiles I've read so far.
I don't usually rec stuff but in a way I must because this fic ruined me for the vast majority of Derek/Stiles out there -- and I mean that in a good way. It's well written; it's a lovely portrait of young love and passion; and it's also a sweet "figuring out each others' kink" story. There's pre-slash... and then there is pre-BDSM, and I say it's pre-BDSM. I am doomed to search forever for another fic like it becaues it's got a strange purity at it's heart -- pure young Stiles' limitless passion for Derek and what Derek does to him and how much more Stiles can do/give/take in a submissive way (without naming it such, because who calls it that when you don't know what you're doing and you're young?), plus a responsible, loving sexy dom!Derek (without calling it such because they're figuring these roles out organically with each other). It's Collared by sephirothflame and it's fucking awesome.
Despite the turns canonical TW take in S4 (apparently there's no Hoechlin in S5, wtf?), there's a happy place in my brain where slashy canonical moments in slashy shows live forever and create their own world (an AU HBO explicit slash world). It's not just my brain, of course; it's a collective happy place, which is what is so awesome about fandom in general. \o/
So of course I had to contribute to that world... I ficced Derek/Stiles. *facepalm* Like I need a new fandom of manboys so young they could literally be my kids. I suddenly find myself much more sympathetic to "old men" (like, what is that anyway? I'm 47, so am I an old woman now? I guess I am to teens and 20somethings...) who like young women. Which I used to completely think was kind of gross and creepy. Now I find myself to be the creep because I can't help <3-ing and lusting after TW's young men who are literally less than 1/2 my age (not to mention the new residents and medical students who arrived at my job in July, also young enough to be my kids... and hella cute and fuckable and omg, am I a female version of a creep? or do I just need to get laid with a man my own age since it's been almost 2 yrs since my ex and I broke up and I need to get back out there (an idea I loathe because the last time I was single was in 2003)?
Yes, I guess... and... yes.*headdesk* Because if I weren't a size 20/22 47 year old women lacking the bizarro self-confidence of men in mid-life crises, I would totally hit on the med students and residents who aren't married because why the fuck shouldn't I... and if it turned into something more that would be ridiculous, right? but no more ridiculous than a 47 year old man dating a 28 year old woman.
I don't feel like a cougar, but I guess I could be? IDEK.
Anyway the fic is Derek/Stiles, it's a little angsty, it's Stiles' POV, it's a first time (first everything), it's a zero-to-120mph in two seconds (well, one night) hella explicit story. It's unbeta-ed, but I think it's okay... I didn't write it and post it in a frenzy, I actually sat on it for a couple weeks and let it marinate and re-checked it multiple times...
It's not exactly PWP but I guess it's pretty close. I dunno. People who commented are saying pretty nice things about it. I really did try to find a TW beta but the beta stickies comments and PMs I sent on TW Derek/Stiles fic LJ sites went unanswered... and since I'm mostly in dSC6D fandoms and I don't get online all that often anymore and my tendinitis has been really bothering me off and on this summer, I didn't know who else to ask for beta-ing.
Of course I feel guilty because I have a dS WIP that I've had for literally a year, and I'm stuck/writer's blocked on it, and should be working on that... and here I fic in a totally new fandom instead. Sigh!
FWIW my fic is The Devil You Know
...and here's a little excerpt/summary:
"So," Derek says like it's utterly obvious. (It's not, it's totally not). It's hard to know how to take someone you can't really read. Derek's tongue licks between Stiles' lips like all of this was never in question. (Was it? No, not really, because: Derek).
Now if only TPTB would allow the shaved/waxed hairless TW men and boys to either grow or show their chest hair. I get that the young guys don't have much body hair to shave/wax. I watched it happen with my guy friends that I knew in high school (and still know) -- they'll start getting body and chest hair in their mid- and late 20s like my guy friends did. But, c'mon... show us Stiles' dad or Allison's dad without a shirt. Or Dr. Deaton, for that matter. Fortunately (?) I'm into the older dudes on TW as much as the younger ones... it's only being into the younger ones that worries me about my cougar-ish tendencies, lol!
