Summary: In a world where Derek lets Scott kill the Alpha and get the cure, he has to figure out how to rebuild his life, with help from Stiles.
Why this must be read: To the best of my knowledge, this is a one-of-a-kind fic. The idea that Scott gets to kill Peter and gets 'cured' isn't a very widespread one, probably because it eliminates a lot of drama possibilities. (Plus, poor Derek. :() As such, this isn't a very dramatic or action-packed story, but at the same time it's one of my favourites in this fandom because it's just so... realistic.
It's a simple portrayal of life for Derek if he'd stayed beta (and the only werewolf) in Beacon Hills and how he rebuilds his life and it works. There's some Stiles thrown into the mix but there's also a lot of character study of Derek, which is something that's sadly pretty rare. A lot of the times, authors portray Derek as awkward and faily which is understandable but not doing his character justice I don't think. This fic definitely does Derek justice, and let's be real, the Derek/Stiles interaction doesn't hurt. ;)
Stiles shows up again two days later. He smells like the hospital again. Derek doesn’t bother waiting for him to shout, this time. “I thought I told you not to come back,” he says from the porch.
“I brought you something,” Stiles calls, even though he’s close enough that Derek could hear a whisper, and waves a paper bag in front of him. “A peace offering, or whatever.”
Derek eyes him. “What for?”
“Because I saw it in the hospital gift shop and thought of you, why are you being so uptight about this?”
If Derek asks, Stiles will give a longer answer than Derek needs or wants, but he can’t help wondering who got hurt that night, if it’s someone else he knows. “Who’s in the hospital?”
Stiles starts, looks up at him and then drops his eyes. “Oh, you—right. You were all … locked up, and stuff, and then you weren’t around, and I guess you wouldn’t—the Alpha, he attacked, um … what does it mean when the bite doesn’t kill someone but it doesn’t heal either? I mean, she’s not a werewolf, but isn’t it one or the other?”
Of course he’s here to ask a question. Even without Scott there are still loose ends to tie up. “Probably means she has wolf in her family but isn’t a werewolf herself—like there were humans in my family. It isn’t unheard of. You should talk to the Argents about it, if you’re worried.”
