Why this must be read:
Every fandom needs an accidental soulbond fic, and Teen Wolf—well, it has hundreds of them, to be honest (I'll probably rec a few more before the month ends). This was the first I ever read in TW, and it remains one of my favourites. "Because Witches" might as well be the fanon slogan at this point; in this one, a witch inadvertently causes Derek and Stiles to be literally unable to stay physically apart.
They're both complete idiots, of course, and blame the spell for causing all sorts of feelings, yadda yadda. I like it when authors go out of their way to ensure that Derek's progression from mostly-surly-asshole to sneakily-lovestruck-idiot actually makes sense! It's an adorable fic, and a thoroughly enjoyable read. Check it out!

“We’re stuck together,” Stiles clarifies, because Derek glossed over the specifics. “Magically. Move more than a few yards apart and there’s excruciating pain, yadda yadda yadda.” He waves his hand around for emphasis.
“That sucks,” Allison says.
“How do you poop?” Scott adds.
Allison rolls her eyes.”Really, sweetie? Really?”
“There have been some awkward moments,” Stiles explains, because really, he’d want to know if he was Scott.
Derek just looks heavenward, like he’s hoping for some sort of lightning bolt to remove him from this situation entirely.
“And why were you there in the first place?” Scott presents a pretty valid question. Stiles looks to Derek.
Derek sighs like he always does just before giving out a nugget of information he doesn’t want to share. “I needed a human there.”
“Because humans are super useful against witches?” Allison asks.
“Says the descendent of a line of perfectly human monster hunters,” Stiles throws in because, hey, he’s totally proven himself useful against all sorts of creepy crawlies. Stiles is the man.
“Because witches can sometimes compel werewolves,” Derek says reluctantly.
