Why this must be read:
I'll admit I was wary of the second-person POV in this fic since it's so hard to do it well, but the lyrical, beautiful writing pulls it off wonderfully. Not only is it gorgeous, the POV really helps the reader connect with Derek's often difficult voice. I really love how the late Hales are present in the fic and in Derek's memories. Though almost all fics reference their lost, the Hales rarely get the level of attention they deserve. Overall, this is an exceptional Derek character study. As well, Stiles's magic is interesting, especially how it reminds Derek of his lost brother.
