You really can't go wrong with a canon based story that has Stiles exploring his magical powers. He's taking lessons from Deaton and begrudgingly has to share time with Derek who's working on his own issues. There's a bit of competition, a lot of banter, and ultimately some bonding when trying to defeat a baddie together.

Definitely one of the better fics featuring Stiles's voice - sarcastic, self deprecating, tortured, assholish - all with signature rambling and spot on humor.

In and amongst some fun moments, this was actually quite angsty with plenty of man pain for both Stiles and Derek to lament and brood about. It's nice that this also was rated "E".

FYI - this was narrated by chemm80 which is an excellent narrator choice if you like podfics.

This is perfect if you want PWP.

I'm talking dirty, hot and explicit KNOTTING.

Maybe it's slightly ooc but one shouldn't complain right?

I'm not!!

Seriously explicit. Just so you know.

Oh look! There's a sequel!

If you like ABO dynamics then I don't think you'll find much fault with this. It starts off a bit rough, maybe a little over the top and a little less mature, but once Derek and Stiles connect and come to an understanding, things fall neatly into place. I felt this was like an overall montage of the big moments in their life together - starting with how they met, then fell in love, and ultimately became a family. So in between a ton of cuddles, there's the typical possessiveness/claiming of heat cycles, KNOTTING, and mpreg. Simple, with a dash of heat and plenty of fluff.
