All We Inherit

Building Something #2

by Unpossible

Sterek. Sheriff Stilinski's POV
“C’mon,” Stiles whines, half-turning. “You can’t drag me into your lap and then expect me not to want to hit that.”

Mark dies a little at ever having heard that phrase come from his son’s mouth, let alone directed at an older, leather-jacket-wearing accused murderer with seemingly permanent three day growth.

4.5 stars Mother-fucking-swoooon! This was so sweet and amazing to see from The Sheriff's POV... even if his name is Mark.

Mark!? Who the hell is Mark?! Nope nope nope, John all the way, even if canon comes out and says Bob, thr Sherif will always be John.

Something about this one just made me want to skip this installment. Not bad but I apparently have naming issues I can't get over.

Sheriff's POV

The part where the Sheriff Finds Out. (has to be in all caps, because it's that important)

I'm quite fond of sterek story to be written from Stiles' dad perspective. This piece is quite long and gives an interesting take for an otherwise common trope when Sherif's POV is concerned. [3.5 stars]

Sheriff's POV
(but really, he's not called Mark, that confused the hell out of me)

Oh, the abundance of feelings in this one. And the Sheriff's pov. These are the elements that garner the 4 stars rating.

Took me a while to accustom myself to the Sheriff being a 'Mark'. And his wife being 'Holly. What I loved most was the strong feelings of guilt, remorse, protectiveness, exasperation, fondness, respect and love pouring from the Sheriff with every interaction. How he was aching to help Stiles yet at the same time feeling guilty for not being there when his kid suffered another panic attack. Feeling jealous at Derek for taking over that role, making Mark feel useless and unwanted. Then there was the awkward discussion with Derek and warning him to keep his distance.

I particularly felt bad for the Sheriff when Stiles confessed that “Well maybe I just enjoyed being in a place where someone would take care of me, Dad, instead of the other way around.” It was true but not because of Mark specifically.

Loved the great reveal. Actually, the vague argument Stiles and Derek were having about who's responsibility it was to clue the Sheriff into what was really going on in Beacon Hills, followed by the big reveal when Mark learnt about werewolves. But in the end, all that mattered was that Mark realised just how much Derek cared for Stiles and was willing to protect him.

Derek Hale will kill or die to protect Stiles. Same as Mark. Everything else is details.

Dude the sheriff name is always JOHN. This Mark business is not working for me.
