Why this must be read: Since some amazing Derek/Stiles fics have already been recced here, when picking my own to share with you I'm trying to go a little outside of the box. In this case, I'm reccing a story that's not so much about Derek and Stiles as it is about the pack.
This is another fic set post-S2 and, therefore, AU to S3 in the best ways. If you weren't in the fandom back then, you missed out on a very hopeful time in fic during which Boyd and Erica were present and happy, the pack was a family, and nobody had been cursed with an eternal heart of darkness (except maybe Derek). This one is a perfect example of the warm-and-fuzzy potential we all took for granted pre-S3. It also incorporates one of my favorite canon aspects of Stiles - that he is part of an online gaming community that battles mythical creatures.
Though the premise might feel like a stretch - that Stiles gets the whole pack hooked on World of Warcraft - it works. The characterization is delightful, the dialogue is funny, and it's one of my favorite pack-learns-to-work-together-and-love-each-other fics ever written. It helps that the ensemble is always at the forefront of this fic and, ultimately, that's why I chose it. Because although Derek and Stiles end up together, the fic starts and ends with the pack. And that makes it kind of perfect.
