a teen wolf mcu fic insp:
it wasn't like in the fairy tales. not really.
stiles was a busy grad student attending columbia university on a scholarship, juggling a packed academic calendar, as well as a part time job at a cafe in brooklyn.
steve was a tired, unofficially retired hero who was still adjusting to civilian life, and who'd just barely unpacked his new apartment, let alone his emotional baggage.
but it wasn't like in the fairy tales... because their finding one another didn't fix anything. stiles was still busy and steve was still emotionally exhausted.
their falling in love wasn't some magic cure all. but what it was...was a home. a safe place all their own, with that special person that made their hearts whisper "...it was you, all along."
