    Summary


     

     

    The day of graduation, Stiles left Beacon Hills behind when he hopped into Derek's car and never looked back. He's living in New York with Derek and attending Columbia University on a partial scholarship. Only, no one seems to realize that Derek and Stiles are very much together, and sickeningly happily so, because that had never been on anyone's radar.

    (or -- Stiles and Derek, occasionally domestic.)

    --

    (A slice of life series of one-shot prompts about Sterek within the same future post-canon universe, but not necessarily in any particular order beyond the A-Z Sterek Challenge. Each is a self-contained story that can be read independently.)

    Summary

    The cat’s dark tail swished slowly from side to side. The cat’s fur was short, but fluffy and silky looking. It reminded him a bit of Tim’s hair and the way he always wanted to run his fingers through it. Its eyes were a similar icy-grayish color. That was such a Tim thing to do, to get a cat that matched him.

    After a moment of deliberation, the cat hopped down from the window ledge.

    Into his living room.

    Jason would have been more frustrated by that than he was if the cat had belonged to anyone other than Tim. Tim who he’d known half his life. Tim who broke into his apartment whenever he felt like it. Tim who had a standing invitation to family dinners despite not actually being a member of the Wayne household. The same Tim that Jason was a little bit madly in love with.

    Summary

    "Rule number 1?"

    "Presentation. You should never go somewhere without the foreknowledge and expertise of the appropriate appearance. Make-up, hair, clothes, and posture can make or break any situation."

    Cupping his face and moving it around in a circular motion - he knows it's just to make him laugh instead of checking to find any imperfections like she's pretending it is - she smirks at him before nodding encouragingly and asking, "Rule number 2?"

    "Strategy. Pick out your goal, and figure out exactly who and what you need to get there. Do so sparingly and efficiently."

    Giving him a kiss on the nose and a warm smile, he allows his eyes to sparkle in a way that he knows only she could ever tell as he keeps the rest of his face emotionless and blank.

    "And Rule number 3?"

    Finally breaking the facade, he gives her a lopsided smirk as he leans into her hand sweetly, "Manipulation. Do whatever it takes, and be whoever you need to be to get the job done. After all," he pauses to share a smile and so they can say it together,

    "Anyone outside me and mine are just obstacles to destroy and pawns to control."

    Summary

    Tim’s hand grips tighter on the coffee, more determined to keep his hold on that than his phone or keys, and thank god, he doesn’t drop the drink. But the rest of it slips through his fingers, and the guy he just slammed into has some seriously great reflexes, because he manages to snatch them both out of the air before they can hit the ground.

    “Oh, god, sorry—” Tim starts to say as the guy straightens up, and then he stops. A set of amused green eyes look down at him over a wide grin.

    You’ve got to be kidding, Tim thinks.

    “Got somewhere to be, sweetheart? Oh, now that’s a pretty shade of red you’re turning—”

    “I’m late,” Tim snaps, snatching his keys and phone out of Jason’s hand. “I got lost four fucking times on my way here. If this city was a person, I would throttle it.”

    -

    Or: Gotham is alive, and it won't stop pushing Jason and Tim together.

    Summary

    Jason’s magic surges as he bares his teeth. He towers over Tim, big and imposing. Green pushes up against Tim’s shields, searching for weakness. “I don’t need a familiar,” Jason hisses.

    Tim stares him down coldly. His heart races in his chest, but Jason doesn’t need to know that. Jason needs to see that he will not be walked over, that Tim is his mother’s son and has plenty of teeth of his own.

    “Liar.”

    -

    (Or, Jason doesn't want a familiar; Tim doesn't want a bond. Bruce has other ideas.)
