Stiles: You Make Me Sick.

Stiles: You make me sick.

Theo: Lovesick?

Stiles: Yes- sick of love.

Okay, here we go with Tara again

So I guess it's Nemeton stuff, but for whatever reason there's a situation where the nightmares get physical manifestation, and Theo, Stiles and someone else is in this zone, and the stronger the horror the more real the manifestation is, and while Stiles' (and I guess whoever is also there) nightmares might be a bit more abstract and maybe too varying and easier to physically run from (for the my particular purposes), Tara is Theo's very particular, very concentrated nightmare, and she does move fast, just like in a dream (it's not Cabeswater I swear), so she catches up to them all the time, and her bone chilling "Theo... " follows them all the way, so eventually Theo understands that she'll catch up with them anyway, and he stops, and tells others to go, and meets her, and she almost manages to actually rip his heart out but in the last moment when she was already tugging it out of Theo's chest, Stiles and their third party stopped whatever produced the effect

And they found Theo, who was barely alive, but healed and was all "I'm fine", and since it's more pre-Steo, Stiles doesn't say anything

They go home, and for REASONS, obviously, Theo sleeps on Stiles' floor, so they go to bed, and Stiles of course can't sleep

Amd he sees Theo laying there in weak moonlight, tense and curled up in himselve, staring intently in the dark, eyes shining with dread and seemingly not focusing on anything or trying focus on everything at once, slightly jumping from every sound

So he calls him quietly, whispers his name, wanting to comfort him a bit

And Theo basically jumps, if he wasn't lying on the floor, he probably would've fallen off the bed, going straight into flight or fight mode, not fully comprehending reality

But he's quick to gain some little piece of control back, so he says that he's fine, and he can go sleep in the living room if Stiles can't sleep because of him

But Stiles says no, and slowly talking in a soothing voice comes closer, kneels on front of Theo, saying that it's alright, everything lbs fine, and eventually he gets a hand on Theo's arm, and pulls him up, telling some pretty generic and average story about how he went to sleep with his parents when he was too scared as a child, and how it always helped to have someone's warmth and solidity around, so he tugs him to the bed and makes Theo lie down on it, and he just keeps a hand on Theo's arm all the time, which is a bit uncomfortable, maybe rubbing it up and down, maybe just being there

And it actually helps, they both fall asleep

Theo: Not to brag, but I’ve been told I’m “very nice” by people who don’t know me that well.

This shot of Cas in 15x09 killed me, so I had to draw it.

This is so good! I really like this kind of AU were everyone is alive and happy!

If you had the chance to start over new, would you do something differently?

There’s that friend of mine. When we were young, he begged me for help, and I closed the door on him. The next day, he found the body of his sister.

And would you let him in now?

Yeah.

That is the last thing he remembers, and Stiles does remember it. That girl, sitting on the edge of his bed, was not a dream, not part of his imagination. Granted, he doesn’t know her name, but that does not give Theo, Allison, Lydia, Jackson, and Danny a reason to stare at him as if he’s gone mental. Stiles doesn’t even remember how he managed to sit at the table for the popular kids at his old high school when he knows for a fact that he already graduated and went to college.

Well, except that he does remember.

He remembers being with Jackson and Danny in Little League. He remembers Theo at his side, grinning broadly as Jackson trash-talked baseball just because he was terrible at it. He remembers butting heads with Lydia during a spelling bee because they would always end up in a tie. He remembers Theo being obsessed with giving him mix tapes. He remembers Jackson stepping up for him when a guy bullied him in middle school. He remembers the bike rides, remembers them running through the streets, remembers cheering with Lydia and Theo on the bleachers during Danny and Jackson’s lacrosse games. He remembers starting high school, walking the halls for the first time with Lydia, their arms linked, followed by Jackson, Danny, and Theo. He remembers joining the school’s baseball team with Theo. He remembers not going into the woods that night because he went to the movies with the others. He remembers Allison coming to school, remembers Lydia being excited she finally doesn’t have to be the only girl. 

He remembers falling in love with Theo.

He remembers two lives, and every single time he wakes up, he is afraid to find himself in his college dorm room, realising that all of it was just a dream. But it never happens. Somehow, this is his new reality - this is his second chance.

As soon as scott turns his back on him and walks away, stiles goes straight to the airport and buys a ticket to london…  insp (x)
