I can’t get over derekhale.tumblr.com being a scott mccall appreciation blog. It’s literally my favourite thing.
derek hale probably thanks god every day that scott was the one bitten because if it was any one other than scott he would be dead rn
In Lydia-resurrects-Laura AU I am kind-of-sort-of writing there is a scene where Laura is lounging on a pile of pillows drinking fruit juice out of a martini glass after a long hard day of talking to people whose lives her brother has fucked up
and Derek comes in
and Laura is like “Bro, I love you, but you need to get your shit together.”
he just kind of stares at her because she is lounging on a mountain of pillows drinking fruit juice out of a martini glass while giving him life advice
and Laura is like “That’s right, I can do this because my shit is already together. Go fix yours.” He just kind of stands there. “Go!” she yells, and shoos him out with her martini glass.
(… & then he totally has no idea what to do, because he knows he has fucked up massively but he literally has no idea which bits were the fucked-up ones or how to apologize for or fix them. So Scott and Laura eventually have to sit him down and explain exactly how bad all of his life choices have been.)
I think Derek kind of subconsciously wants Scott to be his alpha. Because the reason Derek is such a terrible alpha is that he doesn’t trust people at all and he is basically shit at good feelings in general. And the reason Scott is a good alpha is that he totally has that shoujo manga power of love/friendship going on, which is probably the same reason Derek’s mother and Laura were good alphas. —I also have this headcanon that Scott is actually a lot like Laura in the way he breaks down problems (problem - cause of problem - root of cause - possible methods of solution - pick one - go for it!) & that’s actually one of the reasons he’s doing so badly in school, because he goes for the big problems first and honestly NOT DYING and NOT LETTING OTHER PEOPLE DIE are always going to be at the top of his list.
So even though Derek’s family (incl. him at the time) all being loving, kind people was what got them killed (he thinks), he still really wants that back. But he’s too fucked-up to build it himself, and honestly I doubt he’ll ever be able to. But Scott totally can.
I really, really want an AU in which Derek is just as bad for Kate as Kate is for Derek, and they have the worst mutual breakup in the history of mutual breakups because apparently they can be indescribably toxic for each other while in the process of explaining that they’re completely toxic for each other, and Kate moves away to go teach gun safety or something and Derek runs away to college in New York with his sister, and like ten years later they get back together and it’s AWESOME. Literally everyone they know is bewildered by this. The two of them tell the story at dinner parties for the rest of their lives, with periodic high-fives for having miraculously sorted out all their issues and turned themselves into better people.
…so basically I have a lot of Kate feels, especially about her relationship with Derek, and I really wish she could have grown up in an environment that would have given her the ability to build a happy ending. Maybe in a werewolf-less world she would have been okay!
This is part Kate meta and part tagfic and it’s in second person and I’m sorry. But I am so fucking tired of people calling Kate a ‘crazy bitch’. People are complicated; let’s have a look.

Imagine what it’s like to be Kate Argent: the world is full of monsters. Monsters who can hide, monsters who wear the skins of people until they start killing. And your family knows how to fight them, but you all have to sit tight and let them go until you can catch them with blood on their hands. Because there are rules. Because if you don’t follow the rules that they wrote for you then your mother will wake up one morning to find her house newly decorated with red, dripping pieces of her daughter.
Most of your family doesn’t seem to get it. They nod to Beatrice Hale in the grocery store, they talk about letting ‘the pack’ handle intruders to their territory. They don’t understand what that means, they don’t have that visceral knowledge of the cancer that grows behind Peter Hale’s friendly smile.
You do, though. You always have.

Derek Hale likes lacrosse and wants to be an English major and complains about math almost exactly the same way your niece does.
No matter what they act like, they’re not people. Not really. You have to keep that in mind.
(even though you’ve said ‘I love you’ often enough that it doesn’t feel like lying, you don’t mean it.)

Late afternoon is the best time to set a fire, when people are home but it’s not dark enough for a flame to spark up like (hah) a beacon. Any later and the fire department will be here too soon for that circle of mountain ash to do any good. Pity that Laura and Derek have sports practice right now, but, well, they’re young and easily picked off. They’ve got no idea what they’re doing. You can come back later, if you need to.
-
Chris and Victoria won’t listen to you, and your niece — pretty, kind, sweet, adorable Allison — is driving around right now, after dark, in a town where she could be killed at any moment without the slightest idea what hit her. Fine. You don’t have to listen to them. Allison is talented: a little training, a little knowledge, and she’ll be one of the best. You want her to be strong.
You want her to be stronger than you were.
Derek Hale Walking Appreciation Post S2
he’s just trying so hard to project swagger instead of hopelessness.
look at those pecs, they’re just weeping on the inside
Ugh I just love how much bigger than Derek Boyd is. Which is possibly not the point of this post but. Om nom nom.

I kind of need Sheriff Stilinski to find out about werewolves so Derek can just start turning up at the Stilinskis all the time. in all the rooms. using all the razors to get that perfect stubble. stealing Stiles’s shirts and stretching them out. eating up all the cereal.
#i need a fic where derek just shows up at all of his pack’s houses and eats their food and shit #like a college student home for the summer

#this picture always made me think of them as the sassy bitches you invite to brunch #they come late because they’re hungover and wear dark sunglasses #they sit barbs at everyone for talking too loud until they have a few drinks #then it’s just shade all over the place #the busboy is actually afraid to come over because he heard that last week they made some girl cry because she forget their turkey bacon
Now I just really want a fic in which this is Lydia and Derek, not Holland and Tyler. But how???
Ah, this must be a scene from a few years after that Lydia-resurrects-Laura-Hale fic I am (not) writing! The first vacation with everyone after Lydia and Laura return from their honeymoon, maybe, and Derek and Lydia really get their bromance on.

laura’s dead.
she went back to their home and died. left a voicemail on his phone, called him der-der liked she did before the fire. i’m so close, der-der! and then she died.
he has done this, he knows.
she’s in pieces, in halves. laura did nothing by halves. she lived in full, bright pieces that shine into his life. she laughed in full. cried in full. loved in full. laura was never half of anything, always the whole package.
and yet, laura is dead
a part of him is not surprised. a part of him has shirts stolen away, notes with her handwriting in it - scribbles with a lipstick kisses at the end, has videos of them, photos of her smiling, of her dancing - happy all saved up. a part of him put them in a fireproof lockbox hidden away. a part of him has always known she might be taken away.
a part of him is always right. and he hates it.
fuck okay I guess I really am going to watch the rest of season two and write that Lydia-resurrects-Laura-Hale fic, just so I can write the scene where she goes to find him and he cries all over her and accidentally breaks one of her ribs from hugging too hard but she doesn’t say anything because it’s Derek, and she was dead. And now she’s not, and everything is going to be okay.
