Maybe both. The emissary could cast magical barriers on his pack before they run into combat, and maybe even stay back and cast adittional protection spells around the battlefield as needed to keep more heavy artillery from hitting them. The pack could also have some armor with moving parts that dosen't limit their shifts, or maybe have armor with openings in parts that would be more heavily altered when they shapeshift, so that things like their claws wouldn't get stuck and the armor wouldn't need mechanisms to adapt. Infused magical barriers on the armor would help too.
When thinking about different scenarios and AUs for Teen Wolf stories, did you ever considered how werewolfs and other shapeshifters would wear armor or tactical gear? How would that even work? I've been trying to figure out a realistic explanation for this situation but unless their equipament was very advanced, with retractable and self adjusting parts,I just can't think how they could wear any protection for combat without limiting their abilities,or tearing tearing their gear apart.Thoughts?
I haven't thought about that either. But I guess they wouldn't? It seems kind of pointless if you have supernatural healing speed, and as you mentioned, it would limit your abilities. I mean, maybe they'd wear some sort of protection for the chest to avoid the wounds that need the most time to heal. Other than that, I don't think they would've worn much.
Argent tech is a cool idea, I always imagined they had some interesting things hidden in their armory. Maybe magically infused experimental Argent tech? I think that has potential.

How about a cursed place with a innactive haunting, that gets reactivated when someone starts playing with an Ouija board? Maybe a hunter couldn't find a way to completely break the curse, or didn't have the chance, but found a way to stop the spirits (or wathever it is hurting people) from causing any more harm, but then someone comes along and messes up all of that, and the curse gets unleashed again.
A good old haunting, a curse or a paranormal game like Ouija? I can't decide what to use for a prompt. Please, someone take that decision away from me, so I can start writing it after work.
That's a cool idea!

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
Argent’s Armory
@msmischief101 @fandomslash @sunel0 I had some ideas from that speculation about shapeshifters in Teen Wolf and how they would wear armor, and decied to write something. This fanfic is the result, hope you guys like it!
Keep reading
This sounds so cool, can't wait to see where you're taking this prompt!
“A little heads-up,” Theo says, slamming the driver’s door shut, “if we get killed, I’ll break up with you.”
Stiles rolls his eyes. “We both know that’s a big fat fucking lie.” Slinging his backpack over his shoulders, he turns to the cabin they’ll inhabit for the weekend. “Being the possessive little shithead that you are, you’re probably already scheming how to lock me down for all eternity.” It looks smaller than it did on the website. It’s also in desperate need of a renovation. Or eight. Hopefully, the owner didn’t forget to put the key underneath the doormat. Because the other option was leaving the door unlocked for them, and although Stiles is ready to deal with a demon, he’s not ready to find himself face to face with a knife-wielding maniac at the back of beyond in the middle of the night. Theo might be supernatural but he’s a heavy sleeper. A couple weeks ago, Stiles had to kick him five times until he finally got a response. Come to think of it, maybe he ignored him.
The car beeps, and Theo pushes his keys into the pocket of his jacket. “Not if you keep dragging me into bullshit like this for the rest of our lives.”
It was that bad? Yikes.
I set the bar very low for the new The Grudge movie. Yet somehow, the movie managed to be even worse than I expected. Holy shit, someone give me back those 94 minutes. I could've done something useful.
That's too bad, I was hoping the movie would be at least mildly good. I'll probably try to watch if it ever comes up on TV while I'm switching channels, but I'll keep my expectations really low.

Before going back to 6b I always remind myself that it's a shitfest of a season. But when I skim it for giffing purposes, I remember that it's so much worse.
Yes! Jackson would 100% offer to fund their team, with the condition that he works with them! I can totally see him managing their resources and planning ahead for future expenses, as well making sure that they have everything they need and look good while doing their job!
Their banter would be amazing, they would be so much fun together!
Stiles and Theo are just such masters at mind games and figuring things out, I can only imagine what those two would accomplish if they had worked together. The absolute power...
Like imagine if after the finale Stiles and Theo met each other again, and Stiles sees that Theo has changed a lot for the better and is trying to atone for all the damage he did, and over time they become friends and start working together to solve cases and stop supernatural threats. They would be pratically unstoppable!
Thrown in Lydia with her vast knowledge and psychic abilities, along with Danny and his tech skills and you've got a top tier investigation and inteligence gathering team!
This! Stiles and Jackson would fight all the time, but also fight for each other with everything they have when things get bad! They would have that "you annoy the hell out of me but I'm here for you" kind of friendship.
I wonder what they would call their team, there's no way Stiles wouldn't try to come up with a name for them at some point, maybe even as a joke but they repeat it so much that they end up calling themselves that. Any ideas?
And thank you, I'm loving this concept too! They're road trip squad goals!

Jackson and Lydia would always make sure to book the best possible hotels for them!
The name would probably end up being something like "Mystery Inc." because of some Scooby Doo joke. But I'm pretty sure that would be more of a inside joke between the team, there's no way Jackson would let the rest of the supernatural community call them that, it would damage their image. Lol.
And I'm not sure how this would work, but I like the idea of other characters working with them, even if only in some ocassions. Like Isaac, Chris and Allison (maybe in this AU she never died or somehow got brought back), and they help them every now and then. And over time they meet new allies on the road and build this huge network of contacts!
What do you think?
And I know you said names aren't your thing, but this AU needs one! Any suggestions?

I agree with @sunel0 too, Lydia would most likely be the one to decided their actual name. Maybe something like Abnormal Crimes and Events Investigative Agency (ACEIA), that way they could present themselves to the police if necessary and be taken seriously.
As for the name of the AU, I didn't think of anything concrete but was considering something with the theme of supernatural detectives, but Road Trips and Other Disasters sounds really cool! And like @sunel0 said it can abbreviated to ROADS!

Hi! It makes me really happy that my idea ended up in a discussion with such creative people, and that now you're actually considering writing an AU about it!
I really liked your ideas and the ones from @msmischief101, but if I may I would also like to add some suggestions:
- Stiles has an active Spark and is a sorcerer (or mage), and he's been training his abilities for a while. He's not an archmage or anything (at least not yet), but he's really good and already has a lot of knowledge of both theoretical and practical applications of the arcane, so eventually he could get there. He pratices constantly to keep his powers sharp and improve, and that's one of the reasons why he's roomate didn't want to live with him anymore. He never saw anything serious, like objects levitating or stuff like that, but got seriously creeped by seeing Stiles meditating while recitating arcane words in the dark surrounded by candles (for example).
- Lydia developed her Banshee abilities too, and can now sense danger and death with a lot more precision, as well as scream with enough power to destroy entire buildings if she wanted to. While her abilities and Stiles's are diferent both in nature and execution in any ways, they still worked together to figure out how to control and reliably use their powers, and Lydia is the only one with arcane knowledge in the same level as Stiles, so they usually research things together and discuss complex theories that makes everyone else confused.
- This is probably something you'd probably only briefly mention even if you decided to include, but Allison is alive. I have this headcannon that Stiles used magic to bring her back in a very dangerous ritual that nearly killed him around the time of S5 (I'm trying to write a Steo fic were this happens, hopefully I'll finish it before the end of the century, lol), and I really love Alisson and Lydia's friendship so.... yeah. I just think Allison is great and her interactions with Lydia are top tier. Also her presence could be an interesting way to explain how the hunter community changed (specially if you decide your story will take into consideration the canon finale), with Allison and her father using her status as an Argent and rallying sensible hunters against Monroe, or even just promoting changes to make sure no innocent supernatural creatures would be hunted. There are a lot of possibilities, but I understand this might not be something you would like to include and you have every right not to, this is your version of this AU after all, I only suggested because Allison is one of my favorite characters and I love stories were she's alive and well.
- And as for the first serious monster they face, I agree with @msmischief101 about it possibly being something from Slavic mythology, like a Strzyga or a Leshen, but it could also be something like a Wendigo from Native American mythology. But if you do go with a Wendigo, I also suggest ignoring TW's canon version and doing something along the lines of what Until Dawn did (UD is a videogame and has an amazing and terrifying interpretation of the Wendigo).
Those are my suggestions! But don't feel pressured to incorporate them in your fic, use them or not as you like, just write the story you think will be the most amazing! I can't wait to read it!
Dear @lawfulgeek and @msmischief101 ,
I don't think it's my place and I can always delete this, but since I can't sleep (as always) may I perhaps interest you in a sort of maybe origin story of the AU (I decided not to reblog the whole thing again)?:D
Naturally, it's just my ideas, and you can always tell me if I'm being too much:D
So basically
Lydia, Stiles, Danny and Theo are studying different stuff in Pasadena (like Stiles in the FBI, Lydia studies Math, Danny - programming and Theo is probably in some kind of Medical thing, but to work on a lab, privacy analyzing things (like for crimes and stuff or in a hospital) or maybe working on medicaments and things (the first one actually comes from my AU where Isaak also worked in ER))
Stiles, Lydia and Danny rent an apartment together, and Theo lives with some roommate in the same building on a different floor mostly (ahm if he says so) accident, because he came into the city a year later after actually graduating, and it's not like he had the best relationships with the pack by the end of things, like not hostile, but there was a lot of room for improvement
But he did start therapy with (as if there's literally anyone else who we know could possibly help him) Morel (probably Kira who ended up having the best relationship with him through the year (and she didn't go to college yet) convinced him), now via Skype, so he generally gets better as a human
But now he doesn't really know how to communicate with new people without lying about his whole life and pretending, he's not used to it yet, the roommate was found also basically by accident
So Lydia (seeing a puppy in need) decides to take him under her wing (they sort of helped him as it was but we're not really close) and make sure he doesn't feel that lonely ("That's bot good for his mental state"), so she invites him to hang out with them, Stiles is a bit apprehensive about it at first, and Danny wasn't there for most of it, so he doesn't care that much. Slowly they all grow closer and all that, some particular TENSION is back in the game and everything
So they continue like this
And their contract for both of the apartments is ending, and Theo's roommate wants to move out to his partner's place, and Theo could afford a place himself, but he doesn't have THAT much money, considering he pays for a Med school
Luckily, by this time Lydia and Jackson's renewed now long-distance relationship evolved enough for Jackson to transfer to Pasadena (he studies something like economics or politics probably)
And initially they thought he'll just move in with Theo, but in the end Lydia and Jackson take Theo's apartment and Theo moves in with Stiles and Danny
It all goes alright, maybe something burns slowly, who knows
Then Brett calls, he needs a place to stay for a couple of days, there's something going on in the city, and some of the Alphas are concerned, so the called Satomi (as she's one of the most experienced Alphas in the state if not the country), maybe she knows what's up, and she sent Brett to take a look at the situation
Naturally, Stiles gets involved, with him Lydia gets too, and Theo helps with identifying the creature by the teeth marks
And Satomi and Brett honestly tell the Alphas that the main job was done by Stiles, Lydia and Theo, so next time they go straight to them
This time, however, they end up tugging Danny in for hacking purposes
And eventually it escalates to the point where they not only identify the creatures but also deal with them
And finally Jackson gets directly involved with paying for the guns and things they need for that (it's not BH but it is a big city plus they work for suburbs too)
So they go on, and once they get a call from a different city, pretty far, and they go there, and do their job
They get calls from places more and more distant, so eventually Lydia suggests the thing Stiles had thought about for a long time: just finally giving in and going on a roadtrip without a foreseeable end, maybe studying remotely (is this the right word?) if they can
And Theo and Jackson go without a question, and all together they manage to convince Danny (who wasn't fighting all too hard)
And somewhere in this Steo do starts dating, annoying Danny to no end
It's probably not the most comprehensible thing, considering it's 6:34 in the morning for me but well anyway I did this maybe now I'll calm down a bit:'D
Oh, don't worry about not writing it, guess I misunderstood. I would still love to see your work if you ever decide to write something!
Thank you for liking the suggestions, I'll try to write something for this AU sometime! Right now I'm working on a Steo fanfic taking place around S5, but I'll take notes of any idea I have for a new story in this AU and keep them, in case I end up writing something for it. Maybe a sequel to my Steo fic? Probably, I'm liking the idea!
As for how they figured out Lydia can destroy building... that's something from the Steo fanfic I'm working on. Let's just say a creature messed with the wrong Banshee. Hopefully it won't take me forever to write the remaining parts of the story, and figure out how exactly some scenes will play out.
Please feel free to continue sharing ideas, same goes for @msmischief101 and anyone else that would like to interact, I'm loving this AU!

Y'all always talk about how obsessed Theo is with Stiles, (which is 100% true), but lets not forget that Stiles broke into the administration office to get his documents, printed out a picture of Theo to pin it to his crime board (and instinctively knew he was in cahoots with the Dread Doctors), annoyed his dad long enough that Parrish had to make a background check on Theo and his family, let everyone know that he remembers Theo well enough that he can tell something is wrong, stalked him for 3+ hours and willingly spent his Saturday with him in a car (instead of going with his friends who were putting themselves in danger because of a plan he must've known would backfire).
It's been a while since I last watched S1, but from what I remember like most things in TW it was never really explained. Wich is a shame, expanding the lore would have been really cool and potentially open interesting storylines that the writers could have explored, but sadly wasting good plots and not giving proper explanations for what is happening are two of TW's biggest flaws.
WAIT, stop, hold on… how do the wolfsbane and the spiral thingamajig magic work? Why is that a glamour? I’m very confused. Was that ever explained? Or is that just a thing that happened?
If only Allison had found out at some point all the creepy things Scott said and thought about her, all he hid from her and what he did to "get her" and "stay close to her"...
“If I don’t play, I lose first line and Allison.”
Scott: I'm not a killer! That means I can continue obssesing over that girl I met a few days ago!
Stiles:
Scott: Because ripping someone’s throat out is a real bonding experience? Stiles: Yeah, but you didn’t do it, which means you’re not a killer. And it also means that - Scott: I can go out with Allison. Stiles: I was gonna say it means you won’t kill me. Scott: Oh, yeah. That too.
