Sid/Geno Recs - Hidden Gems

Sid/Geno Recs - Hidden Gems

I’m glad I had time/motivation to get this second list finished by the end of July for @pensmonthly ‘s “Rec Lists” theme this month​.  I picked an arbitrary and sliding kudos cut-off and collected some of my favorite fics that won’t show up on the first 10 pages when you sort by kudos on ao3. I particularly tried to focus on older fic and ones not in recent exchanges because those are most likely to be missed! 

My categories (Very AU, Slightly AU, Get Together, Sex, Quiet/Domestic) have a decreasing level of priority - no matter the topic if one doesn’t play hockey it is under “very” au, if there are biology changes but its totally sex focused, it still qualifies as “slightly” au, etc etc.

If you want a specific content warning/character check beyond the authors tags, please message me specifically related to a fic, I’m including no warnings here.

Errors, typos, bad links etc - lmk please!

Radio Tower by HyperLittleNori (Shiguresan) (64,918 | 6/? | R)

Everything was different. The world he knew was gone. It’d been a long time since he’d started thinking he was probably one of the last humans on earth, that out there the only sentient beings were those that would devour him whole. He wasn’t sure why he continued with the radio broadcasts, continued to talk into nothingness. The only explanation was that there was a spark of hope in him yet that he wasn’t alone. The lonely safety Stiles has built around an old radio tower in the middle of nowhere is about to be broken. Stiles isn’t sure if Derek is a harbinger of chaos or hope at the end of the world.

The dragon on the shelf by KFlynn (9,900 | 6/6 | PG)

Hale is a popular author, and a werewolf. No one has ever seen his face, but sometimes signed books are given away to fans - fans such as Scott, who was willing so stand in line for a long time to finally own a signed copy. Stiles, his best friend, waited for him in a bar, where he meets Derek, the most amazing man he had ever met (for real!). They talk and talk, and when they depart, they leave with the heartfelt promise to stay in touch!

He Smelled Like Home [Sterek Trope Reversal] by Thomaddicted (10,034 | 1/1 | PG17)

Deputy Derek Hale is sent to the preserve to shoo away some kids, but instead finds a seductive, crooked jawed boy, a white wolf, the remains of a burned out mansion, and more questions than he started the day with.

Little Red Hoodie by MaryLouLeach (99,978 | 12/? | NR)

“Not you. Not you. I don’t want you.” came the pained whine.

“You’ve got it wrong! It’s me who doesn’t want you! So keep it quiet or else!” The alpha let go of the call button remote, wrinkling his nose. There was another flood of fear and anxiety like waves, wide eyes watched fearfully at the still raised arm, Stilinski tried to scoot farther away from the alpha teen. Did he think Derek was going to hit him?Derek almost phased tasting the flood of emotion saturating the air. The omega was hurt and the alpha wanted to protect, now that was damn confusing.

“Please don’t.” A hoarse plea, another whimper. “Just leave me alone.” Breathless now.

Derek felt his wolf whimper and snap as if gnawing at an invisible muzzle, his paws clawing to get out just below the surface. An eerie feeling of rejection pushed at Derek and both he and his wolf didn’t like it. The human part of Derek was surprised but the wolf was angry.

Insemination and Other Indiscretions by melofttroll (55,351 | 14/14 | R)

And oh, was he charming. Especially the way he leaned in, and cupped Stiles’ cheek, and kissed him.

It wasn’t so charming when he never called, and the next thing Stiles heard was Derek engaged, traipsing about the Mediterranean.

What a dick. What an absolute ass. What a complete and total…
