Title: Hold The Door
Author:
Hatteress and
Maichan
Fandom: Teen Wolf, Supernatural
Genre: Crossover, Purgatory fic, Fantasy, Horror
Pairing: Stiles/Derek
Length: Medium (16,700 words)
Author's Summary:
When Derek is killed by a rival alpha, the pack will stop at nothing to get him back. Even if that means blackmailing the most dangerous hunter duo this side of hell. Whatever. That whole devil thing was probably totally exaggerated, anyway.
Review:
I let this one sit bookmarked but unread for months, I think mostly because of the title and how these two fandoms don't mesh easily, but this fic did a really good job with the latter. One of the ways that is accomplished is summed up by Sam: "The Argents are to werewolves what we are to demons, Dean." The "hold the door" thing refers to Lydia and what she can apparently do with the doors between the realms of the dead and the world of the living as a result of Peter's curse (this is from before Teen Wolf canon decided she was anything but human). This fic starts out with BAMF!pack, which is great, and quickly goes to dark and scary places literally and figuratively. The events in Purgatory are properly horrifying while at the same time getting some feels in both when Benny's return and as Laura meets Derek and explains how Purgatory works as a place good monsters pass through to get to heaven where the rest of their family is waiting for them. Overall, this is a good fic and Maichan's cover art is lovely too.
