"Don’t do it,” he mutters. “Don’t do it, please, don’t do it.”
But there it is, a soft pink line appearing right next to the control. Stiles’ legs give out from under him; he sinks to the bathroom floor, hands shaking, his entire body shaking. It’s hard to breathe, his vision blurring around the edges. There’s a knock on the door behind him and then it opens and Scott sits down next to him.
“I’m fucked,” Stiles gasps, tears prickling at his eyes. “I’m fucked!"
What I liked about this: It was Sterek. It had knotting. It was mpreg with cesarean (no ass babies - though there was some lactating).
What I disliked: ~ The ABO dynamics were strange to me: Stiles is an Omega but later human, but also Omega? Huh? ~ Stiles was an asshole creating drama where none was or needed to be throughout the entire story. ~ Stiles pushing Derek away and somehow making him into the bad guy when Derek had done NOTHING wrong. ~ Derek constantly having to prove himself to Stiles, over and over and over again. ~ Derek dating Jennifer Blake after Stiles was pregnant. ~ Jennifer Blake being an obvious clichéd evil character. ~ The length; seriously, it felt like it was never going to end.
An ABO Sterek with mpreg? At first I was excited.
Then I became frustrated. Because it was stupid. With stupid MISCOMMUNICATION and BULLSHIT.
Then I was ready to mark DNF at 58% - but Jenn talked me into continuing.
Then it got more stupid. I mean so, so stupid.
Then there was some knotting. Which made me happy.
But then...I gave it another shot - hoping the birth would make this better.
It didn't. I felt like I was watching The Return of the King again with the amount of times this story could have ended, but didn't.
I gave up at the lactating, it weirded me out and the story was feeling over-long at that point.
There's alternative pov and it threw me until I realized every second chapter recounted the same period of time as the previous.
Derek 'worked his way through Laura's friends and now starting on Cora's'?!
Stiles suddenly hating on Derek with no reason, then the Sheriff being against Derek again with no reason. Then after several months they're suddenly together again..huh? And people were giving Stiles a hard time but it was so unspecified in the background the angst wasn't there.
Jennifer was so obviously the villain of the piece you could hear her evil cackle.
The verse is A/B/O but with humans and I found it confusing because it was never explained, facts appeared to confuse even the characters eg pregnancy outside of heat.
Teen pregnancy drama starring Stiles and Derek. Stiles is waspish and disagreeable throughout most of the first half, and the story swings between afterschool special and paranormal shenanigans before it settles into baby-makes-three. Uneven but not bad.
Stiles was thoroughly unlikeable during most part of this story, creating melodrama wherever he went. Then the story was neverending, so I skimmed the last third.
Well written, but Grimm is one of my favourite fan fic authors so it's no surprise. Was pretty pissed off with Stiles and his dad for keeping Derek out of the loop for a while. It certainly made things interesting.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I've by now read quite a few mpreg books so when I say this one was kind of..weird.. for me you can bet that there are things that are DIFFERENT....
Stiles is a HUMAN omega.. and there are references to Scott being a werewolf omega... at least that's what is sounded like to me...Know for sure that Scott has heats also. Anyone glancing thru reviews is already going to know there is lactating here.
I guess its like mixing several little mpreg differences into one? I can't quite pinpoint but that's kind of the feeling I'm getting now. Derek.... poor poor Derek. Beta alpha (like that makes any effing sense... should be alpha is alpha period. and etc...) It's mentioned that he isn't typical alpha getting all thump my chest over things. Up to a point I'm good with that but push it too far and that just makes him look too soft for an alpha. I feel like he's RIGHT at that breaking point, going in both directions within the story at times..
Stiles... well, I never really got the whole why on blowing Derek off before Derek even knows about the baby. And why he would think he has to handle everything by himself... and why he kept pushing Derek away telling him he hates him when he's had feelings for him for YEARS... And Derek's facade of indifference at times... what the hell was that supposed to say.. If he had feelings for Stiles (and of course...) then why completely act like everything is impersonal.
Baby ... Stiles has a C-Section... but 'back in the day' how would they have given birth? Obviously his water broke (off screen) so did it come from his behind? There were some unanswered questions for me in regards to male omega birthing.
I was also surprised to see how many pages were left once the druid disaster mess played itself out (very unsubtlety). I figured follow up with birth and bam we done.... not....quite.
I did like the ending epilogue, six years later. A glimpse of them interacting with Evie and ....more.
Pretty much a great fic. It covers a lot. I liked that it was different enough to be AU but there were stories and moments used creatively that were familiar. Gotta say that Derek is the more likable of the pair in this. I wanted him to go off on Stiles for a good 30% of the book. He was WAY to reasonable and kind of spineless. Stiles was pretty much a jerkface. He is saved because he pulled his head out of his butt and made sure everyone knew he was the asshat, not Derek. And he was 17 and going through a lot. But I mean, it's Stiles and Derek, I'm always gonna love it.
I guess I have a kink for mpreg, or rather the idea that two men can make a baby. The ABO universe is sometimes weird and sometimes acceptable to me. I think it comes down to how well the storyteller tells her tale. I have liked a lot of what I have read of Grimm's work.
There is a lot of Sterek with an mpreg theme and not all is good. For this story you also have to be accepting of underage sex. I had underage sex with an older person. I was young an stupid and it was more than my brain could handle, but I also really wanted to experience it. I get that hormones are probably the most motivating factor in a teens life. I am not saying it is good or bad, just the way it is. In my case, it did not scar me for life. I actually get a kick out of stories where a guy can get pregnant as a consequence of sex. Kind of turns the tables on men. This one was kind of dark with Stiles being so consumed with having made a bad decision and then transferring those feelings that Derek was somehow bad. When I got bogged down in all the depression, I realized there was a lot of story left and so I skipped to the epilogue and read enough of it to go ahead and finish the book. I think the story picked up when the ritualistic murders occurred. I thought it was somewhat not true to Stiles' 'perception' and Derek's 'instincts' that the screwed up druid was not identified until close to the end. You could chalk up Stiles inability to pregnancy brain, but Derek? I also think that character wise they would have thought about the future more than taking one day at a time.
This is an AU where there is a lot of modifications to cannon Teen Wolf, which I have no problem with. I do not have a negative impression of this fanfic as a lot of friends do. It is hard to see Stiles cling to his negative impressions for most of the story. Some fanfic is rainbows and unicorns, this one is angst and depression until you get your reward at the end. There are published book series with the same goals. Cut & Run was such a series that I eventually stopped reading. The guys never got even close to their HEA and it was just too frustrating.
So it was an enjoyable read after getting thru all the angst. Very cute epilogue.
This was a nice long read. Angsty in the beginning and very slow burn to resolve the angst, then overly sweet and romantic in the end. But enjoyable nonetheless.
Random pet peeve: If male omegas can get preggo, then there must be a natural (ie: non cesarean) way to give birth... because nature. Just sayin.
I had high hopes for this one because I love Sterek as parents. Unfortunately, the whole road getting them there was long and bumpy and filled with pot holes (the kind that make you cringe, which I did, a lot). Needless to say, it was not a fun ride. This is the first real mpreg fic I've read (real as in the only other one I've experienced featured pregnancy via magic which I can totally get on board with) and I am not sure if I want to go down that road again. The bizarreness of it made it difficult for me to feel the usual feels I have while reading Sterek fics. Grimm is a good writer and I enjoyed the last fic I read by her, this one just wasn't for me.
I enjoyed this one a lot. It started rough. Stiles was an ass to Derek for no reason. When he found out he was preggers he cut Derek off, and turned it around in his mind that Derek wouldn't want him. He never gave Derek a chance. It was frustrating. The solution to this came pretty easily...even if it took a long time.
The bad guy was obvious...but it wasn't a big portion of the book. It could have been sooo beautifully angsty, but since it wasn't a major theme in the book, it okay.
Stiles and Derek together were great. Even when fighting I liked them. Wanted to smack Stiles yes, but still liked him.
Another good Sterek story. I knocked up Stiles. To think Mpreg never thrilled me until I read a Sterek Mpreg. This story has Jennifer Blake so beware. I liked how supportive Scott was in the story because we know on the show he was not a good friend.
