That ending alone warranted a 4 star rating. Bloody brilliant!
I'm a big fan of the whole forced together unwillingly trope. It's good fun and this one was executed well.
Both Stiles and Derek are both awesomely in character, which I appreciated, but I would have preferred stronger pack feels - with the exception of Erica, everyone else was kind of blah, here. The Sheriff is great though, always and forever (seriously this dude is THE BEST)!!!
A highlight of this particular fanfic is the quantity, and quality, of all the pop culture references. I chuckled on more than one occasion and highlighted quotes like a fiend!

Stiles and Derek find themselves magically handcuffed together after a botched encounter with an unfriendly witch. This leads to a scary lack of privacy and Stiles is now thinking of Derek in ways he has never done before.
Perhaps the progession was a bit fast but there was plenty of funny and awkward in this. Of course feelings develop as they defeat the baddies, and of course there is denial and avoidance of said feelings. To sweeten the pot there's a meddling pack and some awesome Sheriff time!

Kind of fluffy and very funny. Full of Stiles snark. Like he is ON all the time but it made me laugh so it's all good.
This was a 3 star read all the way through but the ending deserves one shiny star all for itself. Made me do massive lol's.
The relationship development is kind of non existent but there is magic afoot so that can kind of explain away everything I guess.

There's a lot of humor, which was good. There's a mystery, that was handled adequately. But there is very little sex. A little bit of dry humping and a couple of hand jobs. So, forgive me, but I prefer my Sterek with a hell of a lot more ba-dunka-a-dunk.
But, if you like your Sterek without yummy bits, it was ok.

Adventurous, exciting, sexy, smoothly written and just the right length and it's been too long since I read it for me to review it properly. Ten days is a lot of time for reviewing purposes, by my standard.
Warmly recommended to any and all sterek lovers, or Teen Wolf lovers, or fun lovers.

I really, really like the Sheriff in this. And that ending?!?!? Love it!

Very solid read good plot, good characters but someone really needs to give this author a lesson on not ending sentences with "at".
I like magically bound stories, especially the accidental ones, and I love how clueless both Derek and Stiles were, neither believing the other could really want them outside of the magic.
Also, that scene at the very end with Stiles' dad? Fu-ricken' PRICELESS!

Derek had an altercation with a witch, and now he and Stiles are magically attached to each other. And it is not as much fun as it sounds. For them. Because for the reader, it is oodles of good times.

3.5 a bit rushed, but funny and cute.
I also howled with the following story. In this one, Stiles gets magic-wishing, protection-granting powers which keep getting increasingly awkward:

In this Sterek fan fiction story (novel length), Stiles and Derek face off against a witch and end up tethered together by an invisible magical bond that doesn't let them get more than a few feet apart. They have to live like that for days until they can break the spell. Of course, being forced to be in this close proximity changed their initially antagonistic relationship into... something else.
The 'enemies forced to spend time together' trope is a good one, and this fiction is well-written and less absurd than you might anticipate. It's not my favorite Sterek fiction, but it's a fun read.

This is one of these stories that's a major pain in the ass. At first, the plot moves at a good pace, it's engaging, you get the first sweet moments and BAM! suddenly you realize that you're already nearing the 90% mark and all that is probably left to happen is a first mutual jerk-off. No dating, no meet the parents, no 'grab the lube from the drawer". Urgh. So frustrating.

Good story with some good quips. How could I not enjoy stiles being magically tied to Derek.

There was a lot more...teen wolf content than fandom's usually contain and I lost interest pretty quickly.

Moves fast, there's humour but it felt forced, I really wasn't feeling this version of the characters.

Another really good fic that fits well into the TW universe. Accidental bonding and thrown-together-in-unusual-circumstances and stuffs. Good times.

Very, very fun Sterek fic.
I thoroughly appreciated the references to Harry Potter, given the theme of magical bonding that this fic has.
I enjoyed that this fic didn't have Stiles and Derek already crushing on each other, and just covering it with their antagonism. Stiles was honestly scared of Derek at the start, and still flinched whenever Derek moved for at least the first day they were bound together.
It made the progress of their relationship more poignant, it seemed.
Favorite Quotes:
Wandering the woods with Derek is slightly less terrifying than wandering the woods with Scott, though that mostly has to do with how Stiles is maybe a little afraid of Derek and figures most other things that go bump in the night must be, too.
"No way," Stiles can't help but say. "You don't get to quote fucking Voldemort! You are not even approaching his league, Sister."
"Yes," Stiles says. "Blackberries."
"Where did you find this... blackberry bush?"
Stiles is pretty sure his dad practices his interrogation techniques on him. "Scott's yard."
"I see," his dad says slowly.
"I can take you to i," Stiles offers. "You could shoot it. Defend the family honor. No vegetation shall fell a Stilinski!"
Stiles throws is phone down and tries googling for magical binding spells again. Mostly he finds some pretty disturbing Harry Potter stuff that he really doesn't want to think about in connection to his own situation.
"You're lucky you're pretty, with a brain like that."
"Because there's no way that I would independently arrive at the conclusion that kissing you might be awesome."
"I'm a wolf, not an owl," Erica interrupts. "Tell him your own damn self."

This was an excellent read! It's actually got a pretty good plot going on and some nice sterek action mixed in there. It's exciting and fun, and the characters are really well done.
I enjoyed this one a lot and the writing style was very good. Oh and that ending with the sheriff?!...brilliant!! I'm definitely looking up more by Nokomis after this.
Another one from Nokomis that I enjoyed was The Love You Save (May Be Your Own): http://archiveofourown.org/works/960052

Derek and Stiles are making out heavily in the back of camaro and get caught with pants down after their big O's by Stiles dad. The. End.
This was pretty good. The boys get bound together by accident and have to muster through. Once the close quarters comes to an end, things got a little bit confusing with the dialogue for me. Some good sex scenes minus penetration.
Biggest complaint it the abrupt feeling of the ending.

Good plot and not sweet with just a tiny bit of angst at the very end.

Funny fic.
Good monster of the week.
I like when the pack is involved.
But man, the sheriff in the end, takes the cake.
I enjoyed the entire fic, but the end is my favorite part.

The end. Oh god, the end. That last scene. So absolutely hilarious. Perfect ending.

Read in one go. Nothing spectacular. Know stories like this. Really nicely written. In character even if I not exactly found of schoolgirl's insecurities. Pretty sure that there were some logic gaps like Scott know something and in next scene he do not maybe it was supposed to be denial. Fic is not long so most of characters are two-dimensional and hard to read. There are some developments I really liked.

Perfect story is perfect. All the characters are spot on, particularly Stiles, Derek and Scott. I laughed so much! The writing is good, the story is interesting, though everything takes place in a couple of days, so…

Still a second time this was Sterek. Sometimes it seems Stiles and Derek just need to spend more time together to actually realize how they feel. Awkward moments make it even better.
