Sterek
"So this is what Stiles does. He lies in Scott’s bed and waits for Melissa to say she’s found someone to get it out of him, to cure him of the wrongness and the bad, and he dreams.
God, he dreams.
He dreams of fire and swollen bellies and that scene in Alien, of giving birth to jackals through his urethra, the whole horrific nine yards. His head is a terrible place to be, he can’t imagine his stomach is much better, why anyone would want to put a thing inside of it."

4th read: 26-09-2015 (I need more Sterek mpregs.)
4.5 stars. This was so good.
It's not one of those mpregs where Stiles and Derek go happily through the pregnancy together. First of all they didn't have sex because they wanted to, but because they were forced to do it. Then Stiles goes through the pregnancy by himself. He has all these suicidal thoughts, he's hurt and depressed for a long time.
The story is dark and angsty, but it becomes sweeter with time. I don't think it's super angsty, but there are different strokes for different folks. It's also a slow burn and it's really satisfying at the end. I didn't even want it to end. I want more!
Read it!

Sterek, and finally an mpreg that I really found worked in the details, that wasn't stereotypical and never lost sight of the fact that they were both guys. I enjoyed this story of what happens when Stiles magically, unwantedly, ends up carrying Derek's werewolf baby. There is non-con, a lot of non-communicating (this is Sterek, after all) and a few loose ends, but it was very well done and pulled me right in.

Well I was specifically looking for a non-fluffy m-preg and this absolutely fit the bill. Instead of the usual cutesy, humorous picture of overprotective pack-mates who do nothing but pamper the lucky pregnant person, this story depicts an unwanted teen pregnancy, the result of a form of magical rape, giving it the vibe of a horror story. It's extreme and at times disturbing, but pregnancy can be a time of deep personal crisis for some women, of alienation and fear and utter loss of control over your body. And contrary to all those warm pictures of pack-life, it can be incredibly isolating. This story also came a lot closer to an honest picture of life with a newborn: as anyone who's dealt with colic can attest, it's not all wonder and miracle of life stuff--it's also helplessness, and exhaustion, and at especially low points a sense of utter worthlessness. The joys of parenthood are profound, but for a lot of people they come from a place of intense struggle and personal doubt. I can't help but feel like the fluffy fantasy versions cheapen it. At any rate, I really admire how far this author was willing to go to imagine a different experience of pregnancy. It was brutal, but it was honest.

I was honestly scared to death to read this one. You give me a mpreg Sterek and my brain sees this.
This wasn't that. At all.
"The thing is, aside from all the violence and glaring consent issues, Stiles would have done it willingly."
I was warned about the beginning and the beginning was why I didn't want to read it. I was actually ok with the beginning.
I think I was prepared but I also can deal with bad stuff when it is out of your control. No fault.
This story has so much. I don't even know where to begin with any of it. So much struggle and time and conflict and pain. So freaking well done. So much hurt.
And then healing for the right reasons.
And then healing for the best of reasons.
Magic. It happens and, "It’s not inherently evil, you know. There has to be…something."
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant Sterek.

4.5 Stars
Stiles and Derek find themselves the victims of a magical spell that just so happens to result in conception. There's hardly a moment of fluff that isn't overlaid with fear, exhaustion, and bittersweet longing. This does not romanticize the situation that many Sterek mpregs often do, and it is gritty, harsh and realistic in portraying it as the unnatural thing it is.
I've got to say that this is one impressively well written fic that allows Stiles to truly shine in all his wonderful, spastic, smart, snarky glory. What hits especially hard is Stiles's vulnerability; the shit situation that he finds himself in with really no support from Derek (which to be honest, is both their faults). He is acutely aware of his shortcomings, knowing that though he's mature beyond his years due to supernatural circumstances, he is in no way prepared for the teen parenthood smackdown of epic proportions.
So I did hurt mostly for Stiles here. I'm not saying Derek didn't go through his own emotional anguish but we only get impressions of Derek - his anger and hate (understandably) at being used as a pawn for someone else's agenda. We can only draw upon what Stiles sees or interprets. So Stiles's pov is particularly painful and potent, highlighting his insecurities, desires, jealousy, and hope. That "want" is so very palpable as he tries to be a good dad, tries to make something of himself, and to be a family with Derek.
Again I can't expound enough what great writing this was. As the story unfolds, it is written so perfectly that one experiences each and every emotion Stiles has as he goes through it. Is that cliche?? If it is, then this was one of the best at evoking such feels from me, and though it wrung me dry, the journey was definitely well worth it.
Thanks Rosa and Otila for the BR support!

4.5 stars [edited to increase star rating as I am still thinking about this one today]
Ok, full disclosure, I am not a wuss, but I almost couldn't read this after reading the beginning - it was so painful and awful and terrible to read - seriously, that's some heavy shit right there! BUT at the same time, really well written and compelling...so after asking around to see if the heart-wrenching stuff at the beginning is worth it for the story, everyone told me to carry on.
So I plunged back in, and although for a while there it was really quite angsty, it was always interesting and kept me reading...gradually the tone changed through the story to become more and more hopeful and whilst there isn't actually romance through a lot of the story, there is a definite deepening of friendships and relationships, actions showing caring and a slow build towards something more.
There's also a pretty good ending that wraps everything up without being TOO neat, and it leaves you knowing there's a HEA in store. This was definitely one of the better-written sterek fics I have read, with a well though out plot and everyone is nicely in character.
It wasn't perfect, there are quite a few things I can think of that I perhaps would have liked more of, but somehow they are not important in the overall scheme of things when thinking about my enjoyment of this fic. This is a definite sterek favourite of mine now.
I have a few other things to write, but I will come back and edit this a bit when I have had a chance to think it over, as I am literally typing this straight after finishing. This is also probably closer to a 4.5 stars - I will think about it overnight and might change the rating.

Brace yourself! This is a story took me from ‘I really don’t want to read this’ straight to ‘I can’t put this down until I’ve read it all’ compelling stuff - I was exhausted yet screwing my eyes to stop them closing! Very well written with lots of emotion. Regarding the dub-con . The introduction makes for hard reading; bad enough it doesn’t appear surmountable, yet everyone has the chance to grow and bond and it’s a gradual enough process that it makes the conclusion a satisfying start to positive times. Recommend pushing on through the pain.
The MPregs I’ve read (not a trope I favour) are generally light-hearted shock-accepts-happy baby time – this fic is not like that. Ignore the supernatural element and I think the characters reactions were very human. From the very beginning no-one is acting admirably, but realistically; you might not like them for it but it’s real. Stiles’s pregnancy is unnatural and drives his emotions all over the place. And Derek is damaged and closed off. The baby is cute, a catalyst and a burden.
Love for the Sheriff, I really liked where he and Stiles talked.
There were a few things I’d have like a better look at, Peter for one. But this is well written and the most ‘real’ characters I’ve read, a sequel might lower the impact but I would like the odd snippet to revisit this verse, as the author has tentatively mentioned.
Also the title and how it plays out – aww feelz.
It ends in a good place.

4.5*
I loved this fic. The first half of it is fucked up and gave me heart palpitations and I loved it even more because of it. It felt real to me. Stiles's emotional turmoil, Derek's emotional turmoil, Scott's situation, even Isaac's bullshit--if teen wolves were real and witches could cast spells to impregnate young men then this is the way it would happen.
My only minor complaint is that after all of that angsty goodness the end seems a bit abrupt. I would've liked a few more scenes showing Derek and Stiles as a couple. However, this fic is supposed to be the anti-fluff mpreg so I'm probably just being greedy. And what there is is pretty fucking awesome:
*sniff* *sobs*
Here, have a gif that has nothing to do with this fic--it just makes me happy:
And thank you to my BR buddies, Otila and R!

OH MY GOD.
That was draining and (thankfully) hopeful (by the end). This is dark, and gritty, and I was on the edge of my seat for most of it. The hope? Doesn't come easy, and it doesn't come until the very, very end.
TRIGGER WARNING: Rape/Non-Con.
The first part of this is so freaking hard to get through. Especially if you hate to see Stiles hurt. But if you power through, and keep sticking with it, it's such a good read. But, wow. It's really, really, hard to get through some of it. Really hard, but so worth it.
Kudos to you ohmyjetsabel. You sucked me in and didn't let me down in the end. Bravo!

Well though-out, pretty complicated story where Derek and Styles find themselves the father of a child that they didn't want or plan because they were compelled and forced into it.
There's angst and pain here.
There are decisions to make that are not easy, repeatedly.
There are also threats and power struggles with another pack.
But at the end, our favorite couple struggle through and make it because there is good communication. Thank you for that, author.

My first Sterek Mpreg!
I loved it. As other people have said, it's a realistic look at mpreg. Or at least as realistic as a story about a guy getting knocked up by a werewolf can get.
I felt Derek's and Stiles' reactions fit their characters and I loved all the nail biting-angst. Great fic with great writing.
Thanks Rosa and R for a great BR.

I really, really liked this.
So here is the thing, I just can't wrap my head around mpreg. It should be a lot easier for me to suspend belief given the genres I read but for some reason mpreg is the hardest of all the things for me to accept. The beauty of this fic is that Stiles feels the very same way. This is not all heart and flowers and 'Yay, I'm gonna have a baby!'. This is some fucked up magic that causes non-con sex for both boys followed by 'Get this thing the fuck out of me!'. That made sense to me and because of that all that followed really made sense to me.
This wasn't actually as angsty as I thought it was going to be. It was dark but it wasn't in your face trying to slap you up the side of the head with all the feelz all of the time. Stiles and Derek's lack of communication was kind of frustrating but I got why that lack was there and seeing all the bonds form was very lovely, even when it was sad.
Again, I really enjoyed it. Tragic and hopeful.

4.75stars but it basically might as well be 5
This fic just gets so much win from me you don't even know! I was so worried going in to this because in all the time I've watched the show (currently in the very beginning of S3b + so much rewatching of S1-2) Sterek shipping hasn't been high on my list. Actually, scratch that. While I've seen the appeal, it's barely been on my radar this whole time. Until now.
I can't even express how much I just love this fic (although I think the fact that it helped me to really appreciate the Sterek says a lot), so I'm just going to make little lists of all the win things and the unimportant reasons why it falls just barely under a full 5stars.
All the Win:
-That title? Perfect!
-The characterizations? So good and very believable (the first TW fic that made Stiles feel in character from what I've read so farone of them sorta doesn't count as he had literally 2 lines throughout, so not much to go off of)
-love the writing style like wow gimme more of this author now
-well done Sterek slow-burn is fantastic
-I now totally ship Sterek
-brief hints at possible
-Scott/Allison = total Romeo/Juliet and I forever ship them and love fics that show them off well, however briefly (omg why they so cute?)
-great dad Sheriff Stilinski
-that thing inside Stiles from the summary? CUTEST THING EVER OMFG!!!
-this story gave me so many smiles all throughout omg it is just so cute!
-Scott's reactions alone gave me so many smiles
-current fav TW fic is fav
-edit: Peter's role in this fic was imo really well done and I won't say a thing more but I loved it
Unimportant not-full-5stars reasons:
-Lydia gets no screen time and is only mentioned for past stuffseriously? Lydia so could've helped Stiles with all his tough times
-I don't care about Sterek's negative feelings toward him, I want more Peter!
-sequel, gimme!
-biggest reason of all:
-I still had so much tension for the second half after
Notes:
-I really want more from this author now but she hasn't written any more TW and that makes me sad
-there are two fanmix soundtracks for the fic by Birddi and sk_lou that I totally need to go listen to
-ties in to first spoiler marker
-does anyone have any really good Sterek (or even non-Sterek, but esp Sterek right now plz) mpreg fic recs? I could really do with some more after this

I adored this story, I'll review soon when I'm thinking coherently again.
Okay. Wow.The beginning of this fic is possibly one of the hardest I've read. The moment we all want, Stiles and Derek 'getting together' is so far from how we imagine it. When Derek accuses Stiles of manipulating him and Stiles says
Even in this darkest of times though, there were glimmers of light. Derek helping bathe Stiles and taking some of the physical pain brought tears to my eyes. They were both struggling with the ordeal, both bearing their own guilt for what had happened. Then, in true Derek fashion he promises to get whoever had done this and tells Stiles to stay away and stay safe. And of course, in true Stiles fashion, when he realises he's pregnant, he deals with it himself.
Though at first this is dark and hard, true love shows through. Of father to son. Of fathers to daughter. Of pack, of friends, the love of a baby girl...and of course of the love between man and man.
I absolutely loved this fiction. I really, really did.
"Stiles was a scrawny eighteen-year old scrawny virgin who takes strolls up and down the kinsey scale like it's a strip mall, whereas Derek is a twenty-five year old werewolf parading as an underwear model. So yeah."

"Then forcing you to bend me over this bed to use me like a convenient hole would really be at the bottom of my list of fun ways to lose my virginity."

4.5 stars It's a little funny to have this on my 'dub-con' shelf as well as my 'little-or-no-sex' shelf, but it'll make sense once you read. I thought the dub-con was handled very well and done in a way that isn't too painful for the reader. The book starts with Stiles waking up sore the-morning-after, not quite sure what happened. This allows for the dub-con to be explained in bits and pieces as memory, which makes it a little easier to swallow. Besides that, there isn't any sex what-so-ever until the very end.
I liked the reality of this. I liked that Derek wasn't an Alpha-in-shining-armor who ran in to rescue Stiles. They were both dealing with shit, and not always well. And I liked that there wasn't insta-love. It took a while for feelings to develop, and even as they did develop it was slow and fragile. I liked the way it finally resolved, and felt that was true to the characters typical behaviors and actions. So sweet and vulnerable.
What I didn't like was the reveal of the villain. Wham-bam-thank-you-HUH? Out of left field. There are good twists in books and movies, like The Sixth Sense, where once you get the reveal the pieces all start clicking into place and it seems so obvious in hindsight. And then there are bad twists, where it turns out the creepy neighbor that's never been mentioned before was the murderer! This villain was an easy cop-op, they appeared to explain their motives, and then disappeared again into the night. Lame.

This was an angst sandwich with a dark filling served with a side order of pain.
I actually found it difficult to read at times, and on reflection my current poor mood may be down to this book

Hands down the best Sterek I've read up to date.
The amount of detail... of feelings in this story is amazing. And wonderful.
It wasn't instant love between Stiles and Derek. They had to really work together to resolve their issues. The mpreg element was interestingly and convincingly embedded in the story. And the story had the right amount of angst and worry, without making it too dark and depressive. It was the range of emotions that really pushed this to a 5 star rating. Angst, hurt, confusion, longing, despair, jealousy, happiness, love. That and so much more. And a wonderful cast.
I could gush on and on about this. There are countless little moments that pulled a reaction out of me, that I could comment and relive but I feel my words aren't enough to describe how emotionally invested I was in this story and how engrossing I found it. Compelling and riveting. This book will really make it worth your while, so read it.

There are countless little moments that pulled a reaction out of me, that I could comment and relive but I feel my words aren't enough to describe how emotionally invested I was in this story and how engrossing I found it. Compelling and riveting. This book will really make it worth your while, so read it.

The first fan fic I've read where Stiles isn't happy about being pumped full of Derek's man seed. Took forever for them to give into each other. Damn near 97%.

March 23, 2015Full disclosure: I hate Mpreg. But the reviews were intriguing.
Synopsis:
The first few chapters were actually pretty cool, the way they handled the mpreg ... in horror. It was like reading a Twilight Zone script, Stiles with "a creature" inside of him fearing this completely unnatural situation. But after Stiles returns to Beacon Hills with the baby the build was too slow, the tone turned too fluffy, it just didn't hold my interest. Also, during the "Twilight Zone" feel of the first part of the book Stiles is written okay, but then in the latter parts he is written rather feminine - and that isn't Stiles.
I guess if you are into mpreg or baby fics you will probably appreciate this one. Me: I hate mpreg, still. That is all.

My first mpreg with a live birth. I wouldn't have read it if it'd been fluffy, and I felt the angsty aspect made it much more realistic. I mean, as realistic as you can get with mpreg. I thought it was well written, and the pack dynamics were a great touch that I haven't seen much of in the TW fanfic I've read thus far. The slow burn between Stiles and Derek was nicely done, eventually culminating in a pretty satisfying fuck.
So yeah, even though I can say for sure mpreg really isn't my cup of tea, and I'm not a fan of babies/children in my books/fics, I still liked this one because of the direction the author went with it.

Yay! An mpreg where I didn't feel like Stiles was actually female. The difference is so notable that I had to cheer. Yippee
Interesting story. Slow burn with a happy ending. Some loose ends but quite enjoyable. Great pack dynamics and the slow build worked even though I would have liked a few more chapters at the end.

February 18, 2015I think Ohmyjetsabel is one of the fanfic authors that sadly decided to let Goodreads take down her fics from the site. I can't check my backup file, but I've read and reviewed this fic, so I'm almost certain that this is the case. Especially if you look at this entry on Ohmyjetsabel's tumblr.
Now, surprising no one, with no record on GR that this author's profile has been deleted once already and thus making it clear for everybody that this author doesn't want their fics discussed here, someone created a new entry for Tiny Houses ( with non-attributed cover art no less). As long as authors don't claim their author profile (and then clearly state in said profile that they don't want their fics on GR), I don't see any other option from preventing this sort of thing from happening in the future. Because even if the Sterek GR community as a whole would (and could) decide to police this, we're not talking about a couple of readers but hundreds of readers and hundreds of fics, this could never work.
More internet drama. Yay!!!

Given all the good reviews from friends, I knew this one was going to be good, if not a little dark, and well written. It was all of those things and I'm glad I saved it for a rainy day. Like others I wish there was more romance in this story but the lack of romance does not detract from this fic. If anything the slow understanding of their situation is the real story and it is good enough to stand alone. I wish this author wrote more or anything really because she/he is very talented.

Mpreg Sterek. Well written, tight and satisfying, until the end, where for me, it stops abruptly. It takes forever for Stiles and Derek to commit, so I have invested, but would have more of the happy happy.
Hrmmph.
Anyway, very much enjoyed it.

The one where Stiles and Derek are both magically roofied, and then Stiles goes through an unnatural, unwanted, unhappy pregnancy. Well done.
