LADIES OF TEEN WOLF: cora hale

okay, so. after graduating, Erica and Boyd decide to take a year off as a reward. they survived life in Beacon Hills and graduated -- they deserve some time off from all of that. when they tell Derek, Boyd can practically see Derek having to swallow down a barrage of objections, and Erica's scent is sharp, lemon-tinged, just daring Derek to start a fight. but in the end, Derek just ducks his head and nods a little, backs down. (he gave them and Isaac a chunk of the Hale money as a graduation gift, and while Boyd's grateful, a gift's a gift. Derek doesn't get to decide how they use it.)

anyway. they're parents are a lot more vocal about their plans, but they reach a compromise that mostly consists of Boyd swearing up and down that they'll keep everyone posted about where they go and how they're doing.

he makes an instagram account just for that and it only takes three days before Erica has taken over posting, constantly putting up new pictures. Boyd's pretty sure his Aunt Beth didn't need to know just how disgusting that bathroom in Amsterdam was, but whatever. she probably likes the pictures Erica takes of their meals enough to overlook the weirder ones.

Cora joins them in Athens, and Boyd wasn't prepared for his own happiness at seeing her again. for how much it shows in the first picture Erica takes of them. they haven’t seen each other since Cora went back to live with the pack that raised her after the fire, but they stayed in contact. and even though she carries the scents of other wolves, she doesn't feel like not-pack to Boyd.

it feels right to have her scent in his nose again, her heartbeat in his ears. to be able to tuck her under his arm. to see her and Erica walk down the streets arm in arm.

the three of them spent weeks together in that vault with nothing to do but talk, bonding whether they wanted to or not. now, as days turn into weeks and Cora makes no noises about going back home, they settle into an easy rhythm of existing together, as if this is how they were meant to be all along.

"She’s definitely a Hale"

Cora Hale + favorite quotes

stiles picks up on it immediately––the fact that derek has changed.

from a distance, he watches derek and cora unpack, catalogues the differences in the set of derek’s shoulders, jaw, eyebrows. there aren’t that many, really––if they met by moonlight and stiles could only see a silhouette of a man, he’d still recognize derek in a heartbeat.

cora is easier, somehow. with a sensible braid, heavier boots, and a leather jacket, she seems roughened up, changed in the ways a trip to discover your past is supposed to change you. stiles doesn’t know what it is exactly derek and cora were doing, what they were looking for, what they have found. he was never curious, busy with the shitstorms over beacon hills, the pack, school, keeping scott’s asshole of a father in the dark, and staying alive, the hales’ absence barely registering at the peripheries of his conscious thoughts. he’s curious now.

he’s curious how one can look older and younger at the same time, more and less weighted down, happier and more wistful, more hollow and less frayed. he’s curious what other changes he’d see if he stripped derek of his clothes, made him stand naked in a blinding light, and read the history of derek hale on derek hale’s skin. sue him, he likes a good mystery, and right now, derek’s the best beacon hills has to offer.

and then cora says something, something he doesn’t hear, but would give a kidney to know, because derek––derek bows his head, grinning, and when he straightens up, he’s laughing, and laughing, and laughing. cora joins him, and stiles––stiles is fucked, because with that laugh his brain has shifted derek from the puzzle to solve category into the i wanna kiss him stupid one, and it feels right, right, right..

after a moment to catch his breath, derek laughs again, and stiles laughs with him. he’s so lightheaded he could fly. 

I honestly don’t know if he’s ever coming back. Part of me hopes so. But another part hopes that maybe he’ll be okay… somewhere else.

ARE THEY FINALLY GETTING THERAPY?

OH MY GOD THAT WOULD MAKE MY LIFE.  

I mean, look at how Cora is smiling and Derek is trying not to laugh and Peter has his eyes closed and their therapy guy is all like “why” because you know that Cora just said something snide about Peter, again,  and Peter can’t say shit because it’s Cora’s turn to share and Derek is loving every second because Want some aloe for that burn, Peter????
