Why this must be read: So, I'm finally reccing something of length. It also happens to be 37,000 words of pure porn. Then again, pure porn might be underselling what is actually a lovely look at not only Stiles, but everyone he has these intimate interactions with, the basic premise being that, after Boyd invites Stiles to join him and Erica for a threesome on her birthday, the rest of the pack (and Danny) finds out and decides to jump on that train before it leaves the station.

What amazes me the most about this fic isn't that it's blisteringly hot (even though it's BLISTERINGLY hot), it's that the author manages to reveal so much about each character through what they're like in bed. And they're all fantastically in character. It has one of my favorite portrayals of Isaac, in particular, as well as delightful dynamics within the couples. The sex is playful and educational and comes free of judgment or bias, there's a bisexual character enjoying the full spectrum of his sexuality, there's communication (and, between Derek and Stiles in particular it's a lovely negotiation of what they want), and above all there's friendship.

Though Derek/Stiles is presumed to be the endgame by the last chapter, this is really a story about Stiles and his sexual exploration and his relationship with the pack. It's an insightful look at casual sex and friend-sex and feelings-sex and the differences between them. And did I mention it's hot?
