The Cards All Fall (R)
Fandom: TEEN WOLF
Pairing: Peter centric (side Derek/Stiles plus canon pairings)
Length: 51 700 circa
Author: ChaoticReactions
Why this must be read: I'm so glad that Chao finished this story during my recs, it's one of my top five! I love ship fics, but if you want to have my adoration, you must give me some great character study and Chao made a superb work with her Peter. He is the sassy badass that we hated/loved, but it shows us how he can work with the young pack and his history (and check also the very hot Chao's Kink Bingo series).
The thing was, it had been easy.
Killing Laura was easy. Peter hadn’t even seen her face, really. The forest was dark and the battle was quick and then there was nothing but a corpse. Simple. But even if he had seen her or talked to her, Peter was fairly certain it still would have been a non-issue. After all, Laura had been the Alpha who ran, who took her little brother and left. Left him, alive but suffering, to rot in that damned hospital. She’d fled to New York, and he’d been completely alone in that hell hole, left for as good as dead. So, killing Laura, needed Alpha powers or no, had been easy.
Killing Derek should have been easy. He had never been the best, never the strongest or the fastest or the smartest. [...]
But killing Derek hadn’t been simple or easy, in part from his own fault.
