This was a 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 isn't based in the TV show world at all.
In this story, the Hale fire happened and Peter, Derek and Laura all survived, unhurt. They moved away to Seattle and Laura and Derek eventually opened a tattoo parlor and became well known for their awesome tattooing skills. Stiles started having dreams about a wolf when he was only 6 years old and they were very important to him. The dreams often felt more real than real-life and he would feel like he was missing something important when he woke up. Stiles grew up knowing nothing about the supernatural and ended up moving to Seattle for a job after college.
Stiles decides he needs to get a tattoo of his wolf and gets a recommendation on a tattoo parlor from a friend at work. This ends up being Derek's parlor but Derek and Stiles don't meet right away. When they do meet, there's an immediate and very strong attraction between them that neither can (or want to) deny. They come together pretty quickly and soon realize that Stiles' dream was really a shared dream between them that indicated they were meant to be together. Stiles does pretty well at accepting the supernatural parts and he and Derek come together, ending the story starting a HEA together.
This was an enjoyable story. Stiles was a more mature (non-manic) but still fun version of his character and I liked him pretty well. Derek was laconic but he'd recovered a lot from his past and didn't have the whole "sour-wolf" thing going...which I missed a bit but I liked the Derek of this story regardless of that. Overall, the story wasn't perfect but it was nice and enjoyable. :)
I never thought I'd say this, but I think I actually found a story with way too much sex in it. And it wasn't even sex that stood out from hot sex scenes in other stories. Eventually, I just skimmed those scenes.
The writing was fine, so I'll give this writer another try if it sounds interesting.
I think I read this on the perfect day. It might not have meshed as well a week ago, or a week later from now. But today, it was just what I needed.
I think any other time, I might not have liked the fated mate angle quite as much. But I needed some feel good, and it hit the spot.
There were some very nice hot scenes. Ya know what made me think, Hellz yes, I want some of that? The 45 min foot rub. AHHHH that sounds like heaven, especially if it was from Derek Hale. That's not to say the sex scenes weren't hot...they were. I love a good knotting scene.
Not much angst, until towards the end. There was the usual discussion about past hurts, but it didn't feel depressing. It felt like they were already in the healing stage. There was a bit of drama towards the end. I liked getting just a touch, without drowning out the warm and fuzzies.
3.5 stars I liked this one a lot. Stiles has a mysterious Wolf dream from the time he's six years old. Events in Beacon Hills unfold almost to cannon, with some minor differences that cause Derek and Laura to go to Seattle, without ever returning to BH. So Stiles and Derek meet as twenty-somethings outside of a paranormal setting. It was great seeing their interactions and growing emotions, although I could have used a tad less 'fated-mates' insta stuff, they didn't push it too much.
One complaint though. Once they got together, we never see the Pack again. They're mentioned and we're told stories about Stiles's interactions with them, but it's all Sterek all the time. A tad too much, if I'm being honest. But it's always nice to get some Sheriff feels at the end.
