Why this must be read:
The "Informed Mistakes" series is really two connected Peter POV stories that could stand apart, but each make the other richer. The first part, "It's Bad Enough We Get Along", starts out pretty bleak in tone as Peter slowly regains and maintains a level of control of himself, all while silently cataloguing everything he's lost. He takes it upon himself to pick up Derek's slack and maneuver the Beacon Hills kids into a functioning pack, complete with a truce with the Argents, in his "special" Peter way. Easier said than done, of course. Though Peter exercises a great deal of restraint, he is far from domesticated. As Chris angrily says to Peter: "You're not as defanged as everyone seems to think you are."
It's a strange duality of behaviors that Peter exhibits, using his own brand of logic. He nudges Derek into lessons in restraint, while Peter himself is constantly goading and molding Chris into someone he can be unrestrained with. The first part of the series can be summed up with this excerpt: The thing is, everything here is beginning to chafe now that the house is restored, now that the pack is solidifying. Peter's got a great deal of self-control but a limited willingness to restrain himself. He'll always be tied here in a way, but he doesn't truly need to stay now that he's left pieces of himself to hold his place.
The second part of the series is "Shedding All My Old Regrets". It is much shorter, but has a faster, more taut rhythm. Chris and Peter leave Beacon Hills and embark on an extended bloodlust- and just plain lust-fueled roadtrip that features them in a constant pattern of slaying-and-fucking, fucking-and-leaving. They take turns ditching each other in sleazy motel rooms after nights of vicious, not-quite-hatesex, only to pick each other's trails up again in the pursuit of more monsters. They kill, they fight, they fuck, rinse and repeat in a savage kind of beauty and almost-romance.
This is pro-level writing with a perfect ending that is already one of my favorite Chris Argent tropes, and tropes in general, in the TW fandom.
