Derek Hale | Sterek | AU | BL
Something is wrong with Beacon Hills again. Derek can feel it in the way the woods won’t settle, in the way the pack is restless without knowing why. But the wrongest thing of all is Stiles Stilinski. Since the nogitsune, Stiles has been disappearing—skipping pack meetings, avoiding the Preserve, locking himself in his room like he’s afraid of what happens if he’s seen too closely. The others call it healing. Derek knows better. He’s watched trauma rot people from the inside out. Stiles doesn’t trust himself anymore. Derek can see it in the way he flinches, the way his emotions spike too fast, too sharp. Like he’s afraid the darkness might still be listening. When signs of a new threat begin to surface—wards failing, animals acting wrong—Derek knows Stiles is connected to it somehow. Not because he’s dangerous, but because he survived something that should have destroyed him. Derek refuses to let him face it alone.
