Why this must be read:

Werewolves in Teen Wolf have the ability to alleviate other beings' pain. In canon, Scott and Isaac do it to sick dogs at the vet's; in fanon, given Stiles' propensity to get injured, Derek is often seen doing it to him.

This is hurt/comfort fic, with a healthy side of UST—and pining!Derek from an oblivious Stiles' POV, which is always fun to read. It's a slow-burn kind of fic, but it's so very, very worth it.

"Scott said healing smells like flowers."

"Scott says Allison's scent is ginger snaps. I don't trust his ability to accurately identify any smell whatsoever."

"So what does healing smell like?"

"Like red meat and copper."

"Oh that is gross." Stiles stops for a minute, his whole face twisting up. "Wait, doesn't that smell good to you? Oh god, is that why you're hanging around? Because I smell like... Because I smell like food?"

Stiles has never seen Derek's face that blank. It's relaxed, but utterly blank. Stiles can barely hold a straight face when he's trying to prank someone.

"I'm not going to eat you, if that's what you're asking."

"Because I'm not a woodland creature?"

"I've never eaten a human."

"You're not denying the woodland creatures."

Derek is conspicuously and disturbingly quiet and Stiles groans. "Oh, man, at least tell me you don't eat, like, chipmunks and bunnies and stuff. You at least take down deer, right?"
