08:21 am "If You're Going Through Hell, Call For Back-up" by Brigantine (PG13)
Fandom: Teen Wolf
Pairing: Derek/Stiles
Length: 12,530
Author Website: Brigantine
Author's Summary: Something carnivorous has landed in Beacon Hills, and Sheriff Jim Stilinski would prefer his son stay out of the woods at night. When Stiles takes up running in the preserve, Deputy Derek Hale gets cranky.
Why this must be read: There might be more, but this is the only story I've ever read where Sheriff Stilinski is the one "in the know" and Stiles is oblivious to the supernatural goings on. It helps that he's oh-so-casually kickass about it.

Why this must be read: After an unexpected dental surgery episode, Lydia discovers that the Darcenator has...well, more shallow depths than one would anticipate, plus a decent bedside manner as a last-minute caregiver. Bonus points for the author, who nicely captures the absurdities of wisdom-tooth extraction.

And I have a meeting with potential investors from Boston who are literally only going to be in the city for an hour, so Will’s going to sit with you. I would never, ever do this to you, Lydia, you know that, but this is literally the only time I could meet with these people and we set it up a month ago, and I promise you that Will is going to take such good care of you that you won’t even want me when I come back. )

Why this must be read: Another interesting story about going to the land of the dead to save a loved one, with the added bonus of a life-bond. Here, Clint travels to Valhalla with the aid of Thor's cousin, Idunn, to retrieve Coulson's soul. But the journey leaves both men weakened to the point that they can't be apart without risking Coulson's recovery, which does nothing to help Clint's position with an already-suspicious SHIELD.

What I like about this story is the easy relationship between Clint and Phil, even when they're under constant scrutiny. Plus, the longer they're forced to stay close to one another, the more the tension between them builds as Clint tries to puzzle out whether what Phil seems to be feeling is real or merely a side-effect of the soul-bond. It's also kind of sweet the way the team rallies around them protectively, and how willingly they accept Clint and Phil's closeness. Yay team!

'Uh, no offense, Katniss, but you look even worse than Agent Corpse over there,' Stark said. 'There's no fucking way we're risking you on this.' )
