Laura Hale - Tumblr Posts

HELP ME FIND A FIC

This is what I can remember:

•A few people from the pack go out to the preserve and fight of a witch who threatens (if I remember correctly) a fea

•The fea’s parents allow the ones who saved their son to bring someone back from the dead

•the ones that get brought back from the dead were Laura Hale, Talia Hale, Claudia Stilinski, Erica Reyes, Allison Argent, Vernon Boyd and Dom (Peter Hale’s mate, forgot his last name. Made up character)

•Sterek fanfic, slowburn-ish

•The witch they killed was apart of a coven and the covens leader had a five year old daughter, Ana. Stiles and Derek end up taking care of her until the necklace she wears makes almost all the werewolf’s lose their powers. Ana was not in on her mothers plan

•there are three omegas who the witches sent to spy on The Hale pack for information so they know the pack’s weaknesses when they attack. Tue omegas end up helping The Hale pack instead

That’s how far I got before I lost the fic

(Sorry if I have any spelling mistakes)

I've seen these and god they are amazing🙌🙌✨️✨️✨️

HALE CHRONICLES is now streaming on Netflix! (a different take on x x)

Okay so like stick with me but young Derek, alive hale fam au.

So like the Hale family finds out that Derek has a crush on Sheriff Stilinski’s delinquent son, and has mixed reactions. Talia is torn between amusement, worry and wanting to dislike stiles. Papa hale is very protective but thinks it funny that him and his son have the same tastes.

Peter is ecstatic, Stiles once beat him in chess when running from the cops. (stiles was running and sat down in the park around people for cover, turns out he interrupted a chess tournament. Peter challenged him to a game if stiles lost, Peter would turn him over to the police. If he won, stiles could use him as an alibi)

The rest of his siblings don’t really have an opinion other than using Derek’s crush to make fun of him EXPECT for Laura. Laura is in a one sided rivalry with stiles.

As the sheriff right hand deputy she was tasked with keeping an eye out for stiles and she constantly loses him. Which shouldn’t be possible because she’s a werewolf. She can never connect him to a crime he’s committed and can never prove anything. Can’t go to a judge a say “oh he left a scent trail which I followed because I’m a werewolf.”

Derek brings him home to dinner after they start dating. Unfortunately, the day that Derek brings him over, is also the day that Laura had to run around town taking reports of his crimes. She is fuming. Stiles looks her dead in her twitching eye and asked her how her day went.

The only crime she can connect him to is when he commit aggravated assault against a few of Derek’s teammates went to far with hazing. (Derek refused to fight back as not to hurt them) she lets him off.

What does unacknowledged abuse look like in fanfiction?

I’ve had a few people message me saying they’ve read a lot of fics with Laura in them, and don’t quite get which parts might be abusive, so I’ve decided to write a quick overview of the kinds of things I’ve read which I consider problematic.

Before I get into that: sometimes these tropes are so normalised that we don’t notice them until we’re a certain way on our journey in understanding sexism, and learning about feminism. When I was younger, I didn’t notice them either. I sometimes re-read books now that were favourites when I was a teen, and I’m appalled, because the women are treated so badly, and I didn’t even notice back then.

My point is, if you can’t see it yet, don’t beat yourself up about it. Take this as a moment to look at what you’re reading with new eyes, but remember it’s a journey. You don’t need to get understand everything at once. It will come with time and experience.

A good place to start is to ask yourself how you’d feel if you were treated the way the characters are in a story. That will often give you a solid clue if something is creepy or problematic.

TV tends to only name abuse as “abuse” when it’s the really full-on criminal and extreme versions. But the more common forms of abuse are often small things which are hard to explain to someone else who doesn’t experience them. It’s the pattern and intentions behind them that make them abusive. Someone doing them once might genuinely be joking, or it might be a friend who is over-reaching without realising it. But when they are a pattern of behaviour that’s motivated by a lack of respect for the other person’s boundaries, and a desire to have power over them, it becomes abuse. And that’s what fanon Laura is like a lot of the time.

The kinds of abuse in fanfic that I’m talking about are often small scale, but relentless. One of the most damaging parts of this kind of abuse is that usually each thing on its own is so small and petty that in real life if you try to tell someone they look at you like you’re crazy. Their look will say, “So you think they hid the book you were reading? So what?” But when it was a book today, and your keys the day before, and the new box of cereal you just bought the day before that… you end up going, “Did I really put the cereal in the freezer? Did I really put the keys in the houseplant? Did I really put my favourite book in the bin? Am I going crazy?” That kind of abuse is known as gaslighting.

It can be other kinds of things too, like people constantly borrowing your stuff without asking, and then making you feel dumb if you try to complain, or going behind your back and arranging things with mutual friends or family and then just expecting you to go along with it, and saying “But I did if for you, why are you so ungrateful?” if you try to explain why you don’t want to.

Enough warm-up. Let’s get down to some concrete examples I’ve read in Sterek fanfic.

I’ve read stories which have Laura do things like set up a dating profile for Derek without asking, and then bullying him into going on a date, even though he’s clearly unwilling to do so – Derek’s a rape survivor, remember. It would still be overstepping even if he wasn’t, but with that thrown in, it’s a really horrible power play, equivalent to telling someone to “Just get over it.” The fact he then ends up on a date with Stiles and likes him doesn’t magically justify the behaviour. The ends don’t justify the means. This is an example of abuse. If she’d asked first and he’d been tentatively okay with it, it wouldn’t be abuse. If he’d asked her because he was having trouble taking the plunge by himself, it wouldn’t be abuse. It’s because it’s a) nonconsensual, and b) bullying him into something he doesn’t want that makes it abusive.

Other stories will (quite commonly) have her demanding to know everything about his life, especially his romantic relationships, the minute it happens, laying a guilt trip on him if he doesn’t tell her, and not taking “no” for an answer, to the point she’ll steal his phone and snoop, or read his email, or interrogate his friends, and so on. She will come into his room or his house without asking, and interrupt what he’s doing as though it’s her right, even though he’s clearly not okay with it. She’ll spy on his computer usage or the people he meets. Derek won’t feel he can tell her “no”, or will reveal in his internal monologue that he’s “learned there’s no point” trying to get her to stop. This is abuse. It’s crossing Derek’s personal boundaries without consent, not listening to him, and taking advantage of the fact he values his family relationships too much to cut her from his life for this behaviour. If he volunteered the information because he genuinely wanted to share it, it wouldn’t be abuse, especially if she shared back equally. It’s the expectation that Laura has some right to know about Derek’s life and personal choices, even when he doesn’t want to share, that makes it abusive.

Laura sometimes vets his partners for suitableness without his consent, and/or will threaten Derek’s partners with retribution if they hurt him. This is commonly known as the “shovel speech”, but that in itself is an abusive trope. It disrespects the person’s ability to choose their own partner and decide about the relationship for themselves, disrespects the person they are dating, and threats are intrinsically abusive in any case. Again, if Derek asked for Laura’s opinion it would be a different matter, but in many stories she just goes ahead and does it, even though he is worried it will “scare Stiles off”.

There are stories where Derek is so sick of his family pestering him about having a romantic relationship that he fakes a relationship just to get them to leave him alone. In other words, he feels the need to lie and deceive in order to have autonomy over his own life. Again, the fact it works out and he meets Stiles doesn’t make the premise of having a family who won’t let him live his life in a way that makes him happy any less abusive. In real life, what if he were asexual? Or had social anxiety/introversion? What if he wasn’t sufficiently over his PTSD or last partner? What if he were queer and not out? What if he were trans and not out? And so on. This exact kind of overbearing behaviour that lays expectations on people in real life has terrible consequences a lot of the time – it can lead kids to cut, to run away from home, to eating disorders, to drugs, to suicide attempts. Romanticising overbearing family expectations is problematic because it normalises that kind of behaviour. We all want the best for our family, that’s totally normal. But we can’t live their lives for them. Trying to do so is abusive, no matter how well meaning.

These are some of the obvious examples of abusive behaviours which are played for laughs that I’ve come across in Sterek romantic comedies, although it’s by no means an exhaustive list.

it’s not just Laura who does these things either, but when Laura is in a fic, there is often an abusive element to her character – moreso than with most other sympathetic characters. Sometimes it’s not played for laughs, and the author actually makes it clear the behaviour is a problem. But there are also a bunch of stories that present the abusive behaviour as though Laura is being a good sister by doing these things.

I hope that’s helped clarify what I mean when I say fanon Laura is often abusive.

Sterek AU: In which Stiles is an emissary in search of a pack, Laura is in desperate need of an emissary of her own and Derek might be the one in need of some magic.

for @laurahale-appreciation week day six: Magical Mishap

So, Stiles occasionally fucks around with magic. There’s nothing wrong with that, right? Emissaries are expected to use magic in defense of their pack, and Stiles always wants to be prepared. Practice makes perfect!

Except when his spell-casting gets interrupted. There’s a teeny tiny explosion, and then Laura is gone. And it’s not Stiles’ fault! Even Talia doesn’t hold him responsible, but that doesn’t stop Stiles from setting up a locator spell and trekking out to find her.

It takes a whole week and a lot of hiking, but he finds her.

Only problem is, she’s not really…her. And that is something that Talia is definitely going to be mad about.
