Sterek does retail.
Seriously, Derek and Stiles find themselves working at the same clothing boutique the summer after season 3A (it's like 3B never happened). I thought the fic where everyone works at a tow truck company (The ETA from You to Me) was an odd idea, but I think this one beats it. I mean, Derek and customer service? C'mon. You can only be so pretty.
Really, really, pretty.
Anyway, it works. It's a lot of fun. I loved Stiles's Aunt Gwen and his friend Harley. She's almost an original character but not quite--apparently she was supposed to be friends with Stiles and Scott on the show but her character got cut. :P
And I really liked how Derek's character was portrayed--he has a shitty past that leads him to make shitty decisions especially when it comes to relationships. So even though I hate to see him make those mistakes with Stiles (check the author's notes if you'd like more details), well, it felt natural.
Also, just a warning: you will crave ice cream/gelato while reading this fic so be prepared and buy some beforehand. Unless you don't like ice cream or gelato. In which case you'll just wonder why everyone's going on and on about it. So buy something else. (Btw, who the fuck doesn't like ice cream? That's just odd.)

Post season 3a divergence, after Derek and Cora leave, Stiles gets a summer job in San Francisco where he can save money by living with his dryly comical aunt (the Sheriff's sister) and get a better paying job in the big city. Where does he end up getting a job ... at the same boutique shop that it turns out Derek works at. Despite being tentative allies when Derek departs from Beacon Hills, the isolating social scene of the big city plays the perfect stage for a friendship and budding romance. Of course for these two the Monster of the Week has to try and crash their party (but maybe it solidifies their bond even more *wink, wink*).
This is just a well written, well paced, enjoyable read. You get Derek and Stiles portrayed fairly (maybe a little comically at times)in character despite the San Francisco back drop and unlikely working situation. You get the Monster of the week adventure, the blossoming friendship evolving into a deeper relationship (even emotional angst from these two's tragedy ridden pasts), UST and sexy times round out all this fic has to offer.
A fun Sterek, on the "lighter" side of what Unloyal_Olio usually offers, but with all the quality.

I know, I know. Just reading Sterek fanfic is me suspending belief, but this one? Really. I totally had to just believe...because...Derek picking out clothes for people in a retail establishment? Um...
I liked it though, mostly. There was some stuff that I didn't like so much but honestly that stuff was the most believable. Derek would be completely self destructive. He just would.
This is promising though...

Will have to check out more fics by this author. LMAO at the idea of (canon)Derek advising people on their outfits. Nearly PMSL when that person was Lydia.

2.5 stars?
Points for Aunt Gwen, who should be in ALL The Things, and Harley, but the rest of it was a hot confusing mess.
Even the ice cream was weird.

There was something about the tone in this that really freaking worked for me. I enjoyed Stiles feeling like he has to take responsibility, and that working hard works for him. I really liked Harley and Stiles' aunt (her interactions with Stiles' dad? Brilliant!), her incessant dating and her fabulous attitude to sex.
I loved the hard work that went into Stiles and Derek getting together, and (one of my favourite things ever) that we got to see them work at staying together. Derek's growth was beautiful. Loved the recurring hand gripping at Stiles' neck.
Really great 'real world' Sterek that works absolutely beautifully! Although, and maybe that's because it did feel real, I really felt Stiles age and the age difference in this one. Still really enjoyed it.
