This was fun, just like most any other high school/college Sterek AU out there.

What starts off as simple fraternity pranking, escalates into a one-upmanship between Derek and Stiles. Be prepared for plenty of glee, lust, and self doubt.

Things are about to get personal fast... *wink, wink*

Easy reading that was funny with flirty light smex! There's a companion fic in Derek's POV if you're interested.

Derek is sooooo screwed. He's fallen for Stiles and doesn't know how to proceed.

This is the companion fic to [b:There is a Brotherhood|17152050|There is a Brotherhood (The Noble Tie That Binds, #1)|minusoneday|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1412889416s/17152050.jpg|23569460] and you could probably read either and be perfectly fine - it just depends on if you want Stiles's or Derek's pov.

Because this was in Derek's pov, I liked this version better. His grumpiness turns into grudging respect and admiration for Stiles's smarts, as their frats compete in a prank war.

Of course Derek notices Stiles's other "attributes" and in his own surly, awkward way, sets out to woo him. Again this was fun and funny with a sprinkling of smex!

If you liked [b:Camaro '68|23275257|Camaro '68|ZainClaw|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1412372113s/23275257.jpg|42814540] then you should have no qualms with this.

Told in Stiles's pov, he's the one driving this time, picking up a melancholic Derek who of course, has his secrets. Definitely one of the better fics showcasing Stiles's voice - awkward, insecure, funny.

This was a gradual, slower than usual, paced story, and I felt it was realistic in the feels and progression. Happily, it doesn't skimp on the sexy times either.
