Scent Marking For Dummies

Sterek.

Stiles is almost used to being chased around the school by werewolves at this point. Having to share a bed with Derek freaking Hale, on the other hand, is just needlessly complicating his life.

There are single words in romance books that take my breath away. An example? Mine totally does it for me.

This book?

The best single word in a romance book?

Stay.

This was like an episode of the show, but you don't have to watch the show to enjoy it.

I just love these boys and I just really have wanted to use this picture like forever!

I think this one will work too :)

Cute, funny and lots of oh-so-necessary but absolutely-not-because-Derek-wants-to-bone-Stiles cuddling.

And the title makes me giggle.

This was sweet and funny. There's lots of cuddling and action.
Because apparently, understanding on an intellectual level that Derek is porn star levels hot is one thing. Having him spread out, breathing even and deep right next to him is another animal entirely.

I've read this...twice now? Well, I guess three times after today! Either it's one of the ones that was purged from GR before or I just never reviewed it, but that must be fixed.

This was just great, with the funny and the action and the lust, and really, just about everything a good Sterek fic needs.

Well, except for hot sexy declarations, but sometimes "Stay" is all you really need.

With the Alpha Pack lurking on the outskirts of Beacon Hills, the pack decides that Stiles needs to smell more like, well, pack. And the Alpha is the best to scent mark, placing Derek and Stiles in some intimate positions.

Despite the premise, this is action packed. Very light on the Sterek (and totally PG) and heavy on Stiles being a BAMF and taking on the Alpha Pack. It is well written and the plot sequence does read like an episode of the show, but I personally felt the best part was in the final few lines of the final "scene".

Well done Teen Wolf fan fiction, but only "so-so" Sterek.

Very nicely done! A very believable Stiles, Derek and plot.

Loved the way Stiles jumped to the rescue, came up with ideas to save everyone. He was also so charming about his infatuation with Derek and the many ways in which Derek was trying to scent him. And last but not least, the romantic and sweet way (Stiles and Derek way, naturally) that they come together. This one is pretty tame in the explicit scenes but that just makes it the more sweet. Gives time for the two of them to work on the emotional side rather than just fall into bed together (oh they do that too, fall into bed together, but just to rest).

And that ending... gosh, so sweet. The ending alone makes it worth reading. Ok, no.. that's not right. It's the whole set up leading to that ending that makes it all the more cute!

So read it.

Awwwwww!!

Adorable and very cute.

I've missed my boys.

Derek needs to cuddle Stiles. It's mostly cause he loves him but of course he doesn't tell him that, what he tells him is that he needs to smell like him because of the Alpha pack.

Just cuddling in this.

It was lovely.

Second time reading this.

Title amuses me :)

The logic of the scent marking escapes me but I don't care I liked it, a little so-so action then the kicker 'Stay'. Really that's all you need to know 'Stay' audience won.

Really great little fic!

This had cuddling! I love cuddling.

  Derek tightens his arm around Stiles' waist, pulling him back more firmly against just, like, a fucking wall of muscle. Seriously, that much definition should not even be possible. "Scent. Marking," Derek growls, and fuck his life, Stiles feels it. "How did you think this was going to go?"

Pre-slash Sterek in which Derek decides the smartest thing is to scent mark Stiles for Stiles's protection. Apparently this involves the rest of the pack (Scott, Isaac, and Jackson) scent marking Stiles as well... for reasons... reasons I still don't get.

It's one of those fics you should just enjoy for the lols without thinking too hard on the whys, because the whys are hand-wavy and just an excuse to have Derek aggressively spooning Stiles.

There's also a subplot involving the Alpha pack attacking the school, though none of it relates in any way to actual canon. I'm pretty sure there wouldn't be a season 3A if that ending was so easily achieved.

But, whatever, this is about life-or-death spooning, people! Gotta focus on what matters.

Possessive Derek and clueless Stiles are always an entertaining pair.

Some Favorite Quotes:
There's something about the way she's looking at him that makes Stiles feel like one of those fluffy fake birds on the end of a cat toy.

Coach looks back and yelps the yelp of a person who's never had a suspicious-murder-waiting-to-happen bearing down on them before.

It probably says way too much about Stiles' life that he's planned methods for barricading almost every door in the freaking school by this point.

The next time they're up against werewolves, Stiles is going to suggest sending a fruit basket with a little note attached that reads, "are you evil? Y/N".

Really humorous portrayal of Stiles with his snarky mouth and attraction to Derek. No smexy times though, just cute scent marking and spooning.

While I agree with other reviewers the ending is what makes this one it just wasn’t enough for me to round my 2.5 up to a 3.

This is a very good story. This is a Sterek fanfiction story. For those of you that don't know...Sterek fanfic is based off 2 male characters, Stiles and Derek, from the TV show Teen Wolf. In the show they're both heterosexual but some viewers have fantasized about them together in a m/m relationship and thus Sterek was born. This story is based around the TV show when the Alpha pack was around but with much different results.

Basically, the pack realizes that the Alpha pack has come to town and Erica and Boyde are missing. Stiles isn't involved with anyone in the pack and so he doesn't "smell" like pack. The whole pack starts getting very touchy-feely trying to scent mark him but when that's not enough, Derek starts sharing Stiles' bed to scent mark him more (cuddles only). This starts feelings in Stiles that he has a hard time with. When the Alpha pack eventually shows up, things go much different than they did in the TV show. In the end, there's a start of something between Stiles and Derek.

I enjoyed this short very much. It had a bit of the feel of the TV show about it but I really liked how it diverted to make it's own story. The Stiles and Derek part of the story was well done but I wish there had been a bit more...still I liked the way it left us in a good place in the end with hope for the future. :)

No sex. Not even relationship-y...... To . Start . With .

Yep I did that hahah. So the alpha pack threat kind of gets the relationship ball rolling... slowly. There's no details on age difference besides that the kids are still in high school. This is one of those that Derek seems much older than the gang. There's also no clear idea what Stiles age is so he could be 16 or he could be 18 or close to it.

It's not like there's really anything inappropriate since they are literally just sleeping in the same bed but the intent behind that does change after the threat disappears leaving a picture of where they'll be headed at some point.

An alternative version of Sterek and the Alpha pack, where Stiles get scent marked, and become a BAMF on the side. Very nice read!

Scent-marking! Oblivious!Stiles! Protective!Derek!

Reads sort of like an episode but with the ending I've always longed for.
