Author's Summary:
When Sheriff Stilinski is killed in a liquor store robbery gone wrong, Stiles ends up in a foster home. He lasts about three months before he realises this is seriously not going to work out and he runs away.
Derek and Laura Hale have just lost their whole family in the fire, they've no idea what to do or where to go, or when someone is going to come back and finish the job. Laura decides to get out of Beacon Hills as quickly as she can, she just didn't expect they'd be taking someone extra with them.
Or, the one where four walls do not make a home.
AU where Stiles is an orphan and runs away with Derek and Laura.

Review:
This fic is just lovely. It's a great family/pack fic where Laura raises kid!Stiles pre-canon. If you're familiar with Supernatural and the kind of lives that Sam and Dean had growing up, this fic has some common elements there, with the living out of motels, with fake ids and jobs that don't pay enough, and being on the move all the time. Just replace the hunting with fear of being hunted. But it's also lighter/more positive than SPN, with the family being a big source of love and support and strength for its members. I really like this one and hope the author gets around to posting the last chapter so I can see how it wraps up the ending.

Woah! Letter by the RL inspiration for Enjorlas (Les Miz) tells the true story of the barricade!

Woah!  There's a (really long) letter by the real life inspiration for Enjorlas (Les Miserables) telling the true story of the barricade!  Hugo was there for the event that he later used as inspiration for his novel (though it ends differently in his book), but this letter is something else.  I saw it being passed around tumblr recently and had to spread the word.  It's amazing.  Both the original French and the English translation by tenlittlebullets are included.
