I know there are a lot of people terrified of a Trump presidency for a lot of reasons, but some of the most vibrant horror I’m seeing is coming from young queer people. These people were in middle school or grade school when Obama was first elected, when Glee came on with its revolutionary act of portraying a blatantly Disney-saccharine gay love story. RuPaul and Ellen are huge tv stars, Sulu owns Facebook. RENT is a musical theatre standby performed in high schools. Marriage equality and bathrooms have been their biggest fights. So this? Looks like the apocalypse.
It’s not. Within my lifetime, a president laughed at hundreds of thousands of people dying of AIDS. Within my lifetime, that was a death sentence, not a footnote on a Grindr profile. Within my lifetime, “transsexuals” only existed as cruel punchlines. The only trans guy I had even heard of at 19 was from a movie about him being murdered. Ellen was a pariah who had lost her show for coming out. Being gay was career suicide if you were anything but a hairdresser. It was automatic dishonorable discharge from the military.
This is not saying Trump couldn’t undo a lot of that. But not all of it. And even if, EVEN IF he did? Queer people survived. Flourished. Got to where it is now. And where it is now includes a younger generation who will not go back, and in another 20 years, will be the CEOs, the senators, the governors, the president.
If you don’t give up.
Don’t you fucking dare give up.
if you’re in the united states right now i hope you’re safe. i hope you’re with people you love. today has exposed just how much hatred there is in this rotten world and i hope that at least for now, you have people around you that give you hope. i am so, so sorry, this is not the kind of world you deserve
Carrie, my darling, since I live off your recs, do you any of future Sheriff Stiles?
- I Know Who I Want To Take Me Home by WhoNatural (T, 5k) ”I was digging in my garden and I found your time capsule with a bunch of weird stuff in it, sorry I went through it” AU (That’s not exactly what happens, but kind of.)
- here comes trouble by grimm (E, 106k) All Derek wants is one day where he can sleep without worry of being woken by gunfire, without the threat of death hanging over his head. He wants a full stomach and no pain clinging to his bones, no ache in his feet from months of running. He wants a shower, a safe place to put his head. He wants his family, the healing comfort of pack. He’ll never have any of that again.
- Not Today by rlnerdgirl (E, 2k) Derek’s cabin is close by. The fire’s been burning for at least half an hour and there’s no way Derek wouldn’t have seen it and not investigate. The man likes his privacy and he’s not one for tolerating folk in and around his territory. His night vision may be shot by the fire in front of him, but Stiles knows that somewhere, in the half-lit shadows of the night, Derek’s prowling. Hunting.
- My Boys by losingmyangelgrace (T, 11k) “Afternoon Sheriff, sir, what can I do you for?” he might as well try for innocence. Something definitely wasn’t right though. He took a deep breath in through his nose. That scent…it didn’t smell like John Stilinski, if anything else, despite some of the layers being different, scents change as a person gets older and there were some he didn’t recognise, but the core of it? It smelt like-“Holy shit! Derek Hale!” Stiles. Stiles was the Sheriff? Derek did not see that one coming. (In which Derek returns to Beacon Hills after fourteen years away)
- Sheriff Stilinski and the K9 Unit by dearjaycee (G, 1k) Somehow, Stiles has finally been able to fulfill his dream of becoming Sheriff and it’s a miracle. But he needs some intimidating backup to make sure people respect his authority. To fix that, he decides to beg until Derek finally agrees to help him out.

wherein Derek’s office rival might be the same person keeping him sane at night when the loneliness hits.
‘Til It Hurts or Bleeds or Fades by WeAreTheCyclones | 10.7K
“For the peace and happiness of our friends, and that of Beacon Hills at large, can you please give us a warning if you two are ever headed for a nuclear fallout?”
Stiles scoffs. “What are you talking about?”
“The tension between you two rises with each passing year. For awhile there, it seemed to be turning into the sexy kind, but now it feels more like the murder kind.”

“Stilinski!” Derek’s voice comes loud and sharp. Stiles winces and turns around slowly. Yep, there is his gorgeous boss standing in the hallway with his tie a little too loose around his neck wearing a scowl. Derek does not look happy. Stiles lifts his hand up slowly in greeting and presses his lips tight together. Fuck, fuck, fuck. Of all days, it just had to be Derek who caught him.
“Heeeey there, Derek.”
“It’s Mr. Hale,” Derek corrects. Stiles closes his eyes for a moment and nods slowly. Fuck, fuck, fuck. He’s so fired. “What the hell are you doing here?”
“I–it’s not what it looks like, okay?” Stiles says, trying to breathe.
We Fight Monsters Together by scarlettletterr | 11.5K
Derek Hale doesn’t trust humans anymore and is determined to pilot his family’s mecha alone. Too bad he doesn’t get a choice when he’s paired up with the brightest most sarcastic human mind to ever come out of Beacon Hills in the form of Stiles Stilinski.
Not Like Bond & Moneypenny by WhoNatural | 29.8K
Stiles thinks he’s finally getting a break when a job at the sleek, sophisticated, Alpha Magazine opens up - but soon realises he’s not going to be writing anything and instead is playing tutor-slash-babysitter to their new Editor-in-Chief. Derek’s spoiled, grumpy, in way over his head…and so painfully attractive it makes Stiles want to lick his face. So there’s very little choice in the matter.
One Dollar Yoda by exclamation | 10.7K
Stiles is an unbonded spark, so he’s been dealing with courting alphas since he was ten. It’s gotten a lot worse since he turned sixteen. Some are assholes, some are nice, but Stiles hasn’t wanted to spend the rest of his life bound to any of them.
When Derek Hale shows up at his school, Stiles expects him to be just another asshole alpha attempting to buy him with expensive gifts. But Derek Hale puts no effort whatsoever into his courtship gifts. Stiles ought to be offended but instead he finds it refreshing.
Tchaikovsky’s Nightmare by fshep | 30K
Beacon Hills Classical Ballet Academy performs a variation of Swan Lake where all of the swans are males, forcing Stiles to partner up with Derek Hale. Things go about as well as one would expect.
Present by reillyblack | 63.5K
When Stiles’s best friend Scott presented as a werewolf, it was just the worst. It was front-page news, there were reporters outside his house asking him questions, and people at school stared and kept their distance or interrogated him mercilessly. Worst by far was that it meant Scott had to leave immediately to live with the werewolf pack in the mountains – which no one knew anything about. Stiles couldn’t even visit, so he only got to see Scott once a month when he came back to visit his mom. It sucked.
A year later, he presents too.
In which there’s an awful lot of fighting, people learn to trust people, and Stiles saves the day. Repeatedly. Over and over again. And he would like some credit, goddamnit, Derek.
Inevitability (About Damn Time by accordingtomel | 9.7K
“So?” Scott says.
“So?” Stiles sputters, kicking his shoes into the corner and locking the front door behind him. He’d whipped out his phone the second he’d pulled up to the house, and miracle among miracles, Scott actually answered. Of course, he’s not so pleased about that now. “My dad thinks Derek and I are dating, Scott. Did you miss that part?”
Stiles got ratted out by the Realm Guard for sneaking off with Scott a total of seven times before his dad buckled, promising sabbatical once Stiles reached Faehood, and enough Earth culture in the meantime to have him talking like a born-and-bred Californian teenager.
He just didn’t have the tan.
(Or, in which Stiles is a Frost Fae sent to the Earth Realm on the Fae version of Rumspringa and immediately falls head-first into a Coffee Shop AU)
So i'm kind of in a situation where i have a crush to this guy (he kind of looks like derek and build like him) in the gym and i was wondering if you know some great fics of sterek in gym (they inspire me sometimes is it weird? hahah) or maybe a fic rec? 😊
Hey Nonny :) Also, hey to the other nonny that had a similiar request :)
Yes!! sterek gym fics are hot and hilarious :p and good luck with your derek!

“You’re falling for him,” she says, and it’s not a question. Stiles looks up, blinks, and shakes his head.
“No,” he lies. “We work out, have really intense sex, and then eat cereal marketed for children. We have a system, okay? Why upset the arrangement?”
Nope, Stiles went to the gym for one reason and one reason only. And that reason was currently doing squats right in Stiles’ line of vision as attempted to run on the treadmill. His name was, unofficially, ‘hot gym guy’ or HGG for short because Stiles liked a good acronym and much as the next guy.
A story of Stiles and Derek, short shorts, and treadmill related injuries.
Drawn That Way by ChloeWeird | 52.1K
Derek is settling in (badly) at his new job at a gym in New York City. The job is fine, his co-workers seem alright, and his apartment is great, if a little lonely. The only problem: The infuriating guy who keeps sneaking into the gym to use the showers.
Breaking Bad Habits by Inell | 3.7K
Stiles has a bad habit of falling for unattainable higher beings that would never so much as look at a mere mortal like him. The latest focus of his unrequited affection is his personal trainer, Derek Hale, who is a Greek God come to life.

Out of His League by violentcrumbles | 11K

If I don’t get one in two weeks, my probation skank’s gonna do it for me, and I’m gonna end up losing a fucking limb at the meat packing plant.

me reading my fic before I’ve shown anybody: haha wow this is pretty good, I should show somebody
me rereading my fic after I’ve shown somebody: I hear in my incomparable folly the laughter of some cruel deity and I long for the final sweet embrace of death this line is so OOC and my plot is about as solid as a house constructed out of lentil sludge and pretzels sticks oh foul cruelty of fate
Hey guys, sorry to those of you who have been blocked from reading my fic, but I've now unlocked my blog again so it should be available ☺️ And thanks for the messages while I was gone! I needed a break and I have a little more time now.
I don’t fuck around [x]
omgsterekplease>howlnatural
Yeah, you could say I had a pretty sweet weekend 😄
the "noonie". I follow someone who was in one of those meetings a small group of fans can talk to hoech (don't know the name of this sorry!), and, during it, hoechs said that to them lmao, so yeah. :)
Ok so he said it in the M&G? That is so precious ^_^
Thank you!!!
Yo this is false. The person is (I'm sure) relaying information from my private tweets, and misinterpreting it. Tyler never said anything about Dylan in the M&G, the phone thing was said by a girl who CLAIMS to work on the AmAss set (the validity of which I don't know or fully believe). Your anon is full of it and wasn't there.
