This ficlet series crept up on me. And now I need to actually review it.
First, while this is nominally Sterek fanfic, really with character name changes it could easily be classified as original fiction.
And wow is this some creative world-building! In just four short fics, the author has been able to pack in captivating cultures, political dynamics, and magic.
Not to mention a very sweet romance between Stiles and Derek. They're adorable, and the way their relationship has developed is adorable. Just adorbs.
And looks like the young wolf is set to tell his own story next!
I absolutely need to know what happens next. Pretty please!
I loved the take on political marriages. And the clever way DiscontentedWinter (and the characters) managed to dodge the problem. I felt a bit sad seeing how most of the people at the keep treated Faolan but I presume his parents' love was enough to build his character and toughen him up against such malice. Short story but lovely all the same.
