You Alone

by DiscontentedWinter

Stiles probably should have told Derek how he felt before he's bleeding to death.
It's too late now.

No smut, but so many feels. I loved the interaction between Stiles, and his Dad. I'm such a sucker for their relationship. Such a good Dad. The ending fit the mood of the story perfectly.

Feels. I only wish it was longer!

You alone and no one else.

DW never fails to gut punch you whether you want it or not.

Swoony ridiculous feels. More please!

[Meep · Rating 4 out of 5]

Short, simple but packs a punch.

You alone and no one else.

A lot of feeling without being overwrought, the Sheriff is wonderful, Stiles is Stiles and Derek is the future. I was wary reading the blurb and knowing DW ability to spin dark tales but though the fic is poignant the ending is a positive one.

Woof.

Beautiful sense of isolation as Stiles ponders, in a moment of hyper clarity, loss, and Sheriff deals with the fallout--poor man.

He’s alive, and living hurts. Feels good too.

Pretty sweet for a story that starts with Stiles bleeding out. (Stiles lives, I promise.) I enjoyed reading this. It's short enough to read during break at work. *thumbs up*

Talk about poetry...

Love, captured and corralled into lines on a page.

He could feel it, as electric as any spell he’d ever read in one of Deaton’s books. He could feel it, could almost taste it. Could almost reach out and grasp it.

But it wasn’t his to keep.

This reads like it, carries the cadence of it. The rhythm is deceptive, speeding along while taking the time to let us feel.

Those moments should have been fearless, shouldn’t they? When it came to the truth.

One of the most difficult things to do.

I feel like we all need a group hug, er, grope after this lol. <3

You alone and no one else.

DiscontentedWinter continues her crusade to make me an emotional wreck.


Excellent writing, a heartbreaking story told in less than 2000 words, and then a glimmer of hope at the end.

Also, I love the relationship between Stiles and his father.

More please?

[Alice · Rating 4 out of 5]

Moments in Stiles's head when he thinks he is dying and a few when he knows he'll be okay. This will only take you ten to fifteen minutes to read if that, but the ending sentiment is reminiscent of MissAnnThropic's Shot at the Dark. Beautifully, if briefly, deep.

Short and clever and really heartbreaking.

Again!! She made me cry AGAIN!!!

So many feels.

I loved it!

I only wish it was longer.

I need more!

[Eugenia · Rating 3 out of 5]

FEELZZZZ!

[Catherine · Rating 3 out of 5]

Gee whiz, this ficlet is packed with feels! If this is Lisa Henry on sleep deprivation, I don't think I can comprehend the awesomeness that could poor onto the page if she had a full eight hours.

Also, this was the 1000th story I've read since joining Goodreads! *throws confetti*

I want more damnit.

[Britta ★ Nachteule ★ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Short but oh so sweet!

[Wicked · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of these days I will be able to control myself when I stumble across a new DiscontentedWinter story. One of these days I will not read the damn thing at work. One of these days I will not have to explain to my co-workers why I'm sniffling so damned much. Today is not that day.

OMG I’m a fucking sap…

[Plainbrownwrapper · Rating 3 out of 5]

Still the best for Sterek fanfic. I just wanted more meat out of this one, though the atmosphere and the distillation/efficiency were excellent.

[Sandra · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good beginning. More than any of her other short snippets I would really love this to continue onto an actual full-throttle Sterek.

[Tanu Gill · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was a sweet one. Just wish it could have been longer!!!

I am going to build an altar for DW.

Damn. Just...damn.

[Melissa · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a nice short read, but it was just getting to the good part when it ends!!!!! What's up with that?!?!?!

[Valerie ❈M/M Romance Junkie❈ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Right in the feels

Okay, well, that one was an unexpected gut punch.....

[Achim · Rating 4 out of 5]

If I wasn't in such a prosaic mood it probably would be a 5 because feel ... the trouble with me and stories as short as this one: in the right mood they intensify the feeling, make it more clearer or even make it obvious in those times when I'm not really aware I'm in a certain mood but they are too short to turn my mood.

You Alone has the right style, the correct words, a plot I can completely understand and that deep longing and doubts of failure I usually go for but it's too short to turn my current mood to be able to fully appreciate it.

[Trix · Rating 3 out of 5]

Aww, poor Stiles.

This little gem is closer to the show's story line (or so I presume by the mention of Theo and Donovan). There are so many emotions. Loneliness, longing, love, despair. The most heart breaking thing is seeing Stiles regret not telling his dad how much he cared about him, not working to keep his friends close and especially not confessing his love to Derek. Instead of fearing for his life, he seems already resigned to that and makes you sadder still.

Good read!

Wow...so romantic. Read this while listening to Josqin Des Prez...
This is a short Teenwolf fanfic, which reminded me some of the best shojo-manga (girls comic) in Japan.
