Author's Summary:
There's something weird about Beacon Hills that Stiles can't quite put his finger on. The way everyone in town knows his name the day he arrives. The way they insist the melancholic howling that echoes through the forest every night is just a dog. The way his dad denies getting a dog, even though Stiles comes home to find one sprawled across his bed, some big black thing whose eyes gleam red in the right light. The way that massive oak tree out in the woods vibrates under his touch, pulsing with sickly life.
There's something weird going on in this town, and Stiles is determined to get to the bottom of it.

Review:
A little bit Werewolves are Known, plus a little Laura Lives, plus Derek is stuck as a wolf, plus Stiles is the only one in town who doesn't know what's going on... Stiles is only visiting his father, the town sheriff, and he gets a summer job at the library working for Laura Hale, and slowly he notices that weird things happen here but no one else seems to think its a big deal so he has to figure it out himself.  As Teen Wolf fics go, this one is fairly light in tone (though there is angsty and a lot of sadness associated with the Hale Fire still).  I like this fic as an example of the everyday magic type of Urban fantasy - Beacon Hills as a whole supernatural town/enclave headed  by the Hale Pack makes for a good premise.
