Why this must be read:

Amnesia!fic! This is really good amnesia!fic, the kind that's very well thought-out and executed. Amnesia!Stiles and amnesia!Derek are fully fleshed out as characters, so very different but all the while retaining baseline traits we know and love in them—I love the development of their new relationship so much, and the author's treatment of it means that you end up dreading the inevitable moment where they'll regain their memories.

And then when they do, it's so real and amazing. Basically, this fic does the amnesia trope justice, and then some. Well worth the read!

"Hey - dude, is that your car?"

The guy looks at him, confusion and wariness struggling out through the pain. As if he has no idea what's going on either. No idea who he is. That seems to be a thing that's going around. There is definitely a mutual sense of bewilderment here. He honestly doesn't know whether to find that comforting or not. Or whether to be afraid, because people don't lose their memories in groups. That doesn't happen. Was it magic? Were their memories taken by magic?

"Do you know who you are?" he asks, confirming that it's true, or trying to get an explanation.

There's a headshake, rough and jerky, which works in place of words. The bleeding werewolf's heavier suddenly, coughing blood, and he stumbles, nearly loses his grip on him and has to tighten his hold, much to the snarling displeasure of said werewolf. Though he doesn't get bitten at least. It's always a good day when you don't get bitten by a werewolf.
