    Summary

    The Argents had decided to leave Beacon Hills after Gerard's death, which meant there was room for Derek to breathe for just a second and recover with his whole but still fractured Pack. They were one bad day from breaking again so Derek did the only thing he could think of to try and keep them together.

    He took them to the cabin.

    Or Derek and Stiles connect over the summer while Derek builds a Pack.

    Summary

    Derek is tearing down the Hale house. Rebuilding on the foundation. He doesn't ask for help. Stiles shows up anyway — with a spreadsheet, a build schedule, and a group chat called "HGTV: Hell Edition."

    Within six months, Stiles has nested so deeply into the territory that his scent is in the walls, he's wearing Derek's hoodies like they're his, and every wolf in the pack has quietly rearranged their life around him. He has no idea what he's doing. He thinks he's just the annoying human who does research.

    Then the Alpha Council shows up, and an ancient Alpha names the thing everyone — except Stiles — has known for over a year.

    Or: two people build a home together without admitting they're building it for each other.

    It starts with the house.

    Summary

    Derek was, for some reason, leaning over the bed Stiles was in and hovering directly over him. Stiles now realizes that the thing that tightened over his hand was definitely Derek’s hand. Holding his.

    “What day is it?” Derek asks, still hovering uncomfortably over him. Not even unnecessarily uncomfortable for Stiles, though it definitely was a bit strange, but it just seemed an uncomfortable position for Derek to maintain.

    “The 11th, I think,” he replies, though it’s honestly more of a guess. He’s not the best with keeping track of the date.

    Derek’s face immediately seems to completely shift into pure relief, and it actually unsettles Stiles because he doesn’t think he’s ever seen the man so unburdened. He collapses down on top of him, though thankfully catches himself at the last moment so he doesn’t squish the man below. Derek buries his face in Stiles’ neck and seems content to just… stay there.

    Was he sniffing him?

    Summary

    Moonlight caressed the pale skin, leaving kisses on each dot scattered over it. Wisps of crisp, winter air flickered the hair, playful like a child but cold like the fingers of a dead man.

    “Come to me.”

    Stiles tightened his hands on the window ledge so hard that the wood creaked. The collar of his white nightshirt flapped against his clavicles. His red eyes stared at the moon, unflinching.

    “I am sick of waiting,” he grit out. “If you are mine, then come to me. Hear my call.”

    The moon hung in the sky, white and silent.

    Stiles’ eyes flickered once, twice, before settling into warm whiskey brown.

    Summary

    Sometimes, Stiles thought about telling him. It wasn’t even a thought, but a fantasy of him kissing Derek first thing in the morning and kissing him goodnight, of not going into separate bedrooms after a tiring day. He dreamed of making that one step further and putting not only his chin on Derek’s shoulder when the wolf cooked breakfast, but his hands around Derek’s waist, dreamed of taking his hand and threading their fingers, dreamed of kisses and sex and shared life.

    It wasn’t this young puppy love. It wasn’t lust, though it was there. It was a years-long, deep, chronic ache. Bittersweet. Overwhelming. Sometimes, it didn’t let Stiles breathe, and other times it was the only thing that made him do it.

    Stiles’ confession would destroy them, but not Derek. Because Derek would get up and lift his chin again.

    If the alpha was brave enough to cover Stiles’ body from an imminent threat, then maybe it was time for Stiles to get brave, as well. The wounds may never close, but if Derek rejected him… it wouldn’t matter.

    Nothing ever would.
