Steter Fanfic
Peter's heard people talk about what it felt like when they saw their mate for the first time, from those who actually believe in the mystical bullshit. Like a magnet, like gravity. Peter just feels... sharply curious.

Yes, yes, Stiles and Peter. They were great together. They did awesome things. They were hawt. They were fierce.
But you wanna know who the real star of this show was?
This guy.
Oh Papa Stilinski, I love you so. Even if your name is Tom in this fic.

An excellent well-plotted steter fanfic from KouriArashi. Nineteen year old Stiles has been trying to find out what happened to his father since Tom's disappearance three years ago, prostituting himself in the process. Peter rescues Stiles from the omega room at the mating ceremony claiming him as his mate on a whim.
“We’re not exactly the sort of couple who are going to have two point three children and a picket fence. We’ll travel and we’ll argue and we’ll ruin people and destroy their lives and then save other people and give them their lives back. We’ll be gods among men. "

I actually finished this a few weeks ago so I'm not really in the right head space for a full review. Also, I read it as it was being posted, which I've decided is something to be avoided wherever possible, as it really disrupts my sense of a story's momentum. Still, I adore this author, who just keeps getting better, and thought this was a moving, intense, well-plotted tale in which Stiles is forced to become a rent-boy in order to track down his missing father. Peter is a bit more low-key here than I prefer, and as is usual for this author, the story is not a sex-fest, but it deals sensitively with the rent-boy theme and does an especially good job charting the growing bond between Stiles and Peter.
Bottom Line: KouriArashi is on a very short list of auto-read fanfic authors for me. Highly recommend.

I need me some Papa Stilinski and JL assures me he's right here...
He was, it took a while to get to him but he was kick ass when we did!! Peter in this story was bloody brilliant - as was Stiles, but that's kind of a given, huh??
I really enjoyed this. Kouriashi writes wonderful fan fic for the Teen Wolf fandom. In agreement with JL that (though he's not named in the show) I don't like the Sheriff being anything other then John. Tom is kinda close though, I s'pose. :)

Started to read it, then realized I read it. Not sure what happened to the review. Don't fucking care because... Goodreads. Who knows why the fuck things go missing here. Could look through my backup review file, but I'm too lazy and bite me.
Engaging story. Not a five, but more than a three is all I recall aside from plot details.

A while since I read this, seems I forgot to review.
I liked the slow built bond between Peter and Stiles. Stiles's situation was one that needed time to recover from. Peter is both his manipulative best and gentler in this story, appreciating and looking after Stiles though it goes against the image he projects.
And Sheriff love.

4.5 ruthless stars
;)
This. Rocks. Seriously, well written and a fabulous plot. I found it very original and quick moving. I did not want to stop reading. As much as I wanted that HEA, or set up for an HEA, I didn't want the book to end. This is a different Stiles than I'm used to. Loved it.

some really nice scenes, despite slightly problematic pacing.

Very good Steter where Stiles is intent on finding out what happened to his father, and Peter brings his ruthlessness to a good cause.

This story has gotten many good ratings so I'm thinking it might just be a case of "it's me not you." I'm really disappointed though. This is my first Steter fic (in a way the first TW fic I've read that features either character as a mc) and I really thought I would like this more. Oh well, here's to hoping the next Steter fic I read will be more to my liking.
Notes:
-rating would probably be around 2.5-3stars for personal level of enjoyment
-there's some errors
-I may not have finished this one but I'll definitely try more by KouriArashi in the future (next KouriArashi fic in line is looking like Something I Can Never Have)
“You’re so romantic,” Stiles says. “Some people’s boyfriends get them flowers and chocolates, but I get crime walls and sex slaving rings.”Overall I'd call the story interesting. At no point did I feel particularly engaged or as though it was something I couldn't easily put down. I could never quite decide if I should be focusing on the plot, the building romance, or the fact that eventually Stiles and Peter were gonna bang (and then when they did even that felt like a bit of a miss). I kept waiting to feel some actual connection to the characters, but by the time Stiles talks to Peter about what he's gone through to get as far as he has all on his own, my only reaction was "meh." What happened is awful, yes, but I've read plenty of other stories involving characters with just that past that made the reveal part much more emotional than this one did.
“Don’t hold me responsible for your likes and dislikes,” Peter says, smirking at him. “If you would prefer flowers, that’s what I would be giving you.”
“Manipulative piece of shit,” Stiles says.
“You wouldn’t want me any other way.”

4.5 stars Sooooo gooooood! The slight dip from a star rating is probably just because the middle section of Peter and Stiles 'waiting' probably didn't need to be quite so long... although who am I kidding? I loved every second of watching Peter gentle and woo Stiles and them developing a slow and cautious friendship, and then more.

I love Steter and KouriArashi was the one who first made me love the creep that is crazy uncle Peter. While this is not my favorite Steter by this author it's stll a solid read.

I liked this but it was drawn out too long and would have been better if it was tightened up a bit.

Sheriff Stilinski was awesome.
Peter was his usual manipulative, sexy self, just a little tamer.
Stiles was a perfect match for Peter.
Loved this story.

Surprisingly well-plotted.

Fist of all I think people who haven't seen Teen Wolf can easily read this as original fiction.
I don't usually read PeterxStiles fics, but this was so well written. They strangely worked well together. Their comfort zone was "creepy and cute". Do I need to say more?
I like Peter a lot in the show, but he is 100% more lovable in this fic, probably because he's not entirely crazy and because he is capable of love. His character is saved by the mating bond that forms with Stiles. I was very glad that this bond developed slowly, even if Peter was instantly (but kind of reluctantly) aware of it. "We are not animals, we can control ourselves," he says (not exact quote :D). Control is very important to him and he can prove himself through it to his mate. A lot of books lately have characters that "can't control their feelings anymore" and just have to have violent sex or start a horrible fight. Peter is the opposite of that. He plans things out in advance, manipulates the situations to turn out in his favor and has a handy recording of the exact terms of the last deal he made.

4.5 stars.
This was a different Peter for me, maybe a bit too nice though we did see some of the darkness underneath. Peter's evil and that of Stiles seemed to balance each other nicely. Odd to write that.
