Author:  lady_ragnell 
Fandom: Teen Wolf
Pairings: Stiles/Derek
Genre: AU
Length: Short (Words: 7,437)

Author's Summary:
In a world where Derek lets Scott kill the Alpha and get the cure, he has to figure out how to rebuild his life, with help from Stiles.

Review:
This is a great ship fic.  Derek is really alone, but Stiles keeps at him until Derek lets him in and slowly Derek gets back on his feet and makes himself a decent mundane life in the absence of a pack.  I think even non-fans can enjoy this fic - this one plays off canon knowledge as a contrast but that isn't required for understanding the fic itself.

Indelible Marks / by billtheradish (PG-15)

Title: Indelible Marks
Author:  billtheradish 
Fandom: Teen Wolf
Pairings: Stiles/Derek
Genre: AU
Length: Medium (Words: 50,186 and counting)

Author's Summary:
The house never burned. The pack is strong. Derek will never need to be the alpha, and his sister is a troll. (Actually, most of his family is like that.)

Derek is an apprentice tattoo artist, and Stiles isn't old enough to get ink of his own yet. But that doesn't stop him from being interesting...

Review:
Awesome Hale pack fic and pretty cool Sterek ship fic too.  An appreciation of art helps (not necessarily tattooing, though that would be better), but this is a favorite of mine more for the Hale family pack interactions which are believable and crazy and awesome.
