Summary
[before]
It had started with a microphone.
Laura, 8 years old, was obsessed with singing. She had commandeered every hairbrush and stirring spoon in the house, wailing into them every chance she got. She had no specific genre; jazz, rock, pop, country - anything.
Derek was 5, and often cast as her drummer, trailing behind Laura with pots and pans and buckets, banging away, mostly on beat.
-------------
[after]
Derek swallowed. He had been worried about this. But then Cora’s hand was resting on his thigh and Erica’s boot was pressed up against his under the table, and it was okay.
He took a deep breath and looked over at Cora. She nodded slightly. He turned back to the mic.
“We’re The Band Laura.”

Summary
Someone coughed behind him, and they broke apart, Derek looking just as dazed as Stiles’ felt. Stiles spun around to see Scott and Kira standing in the doorway, looking far too amused.
“We’ll get out of your hair, then, Stiles - obviously you have plans,” Kira smirked, and Stiles narrowed his eyes at her.

Summary
There was a gift.
There was a curse.There is a power in the house of Hale, given to the firstborn son of every generation - the ability to turn everything he touches to gold. Though the original intent of the power was thought of as a gift, in reality, it is a dreaded curse that causes the bearer a life of fear, isolation, and danger.
Thus, Prince Derek is born.

[Excerpt from Chapter 22]
He didn’t think much of his hands, or any part of his body, really - but Stiles gaze had lingered enough to make Derek wonder what Stiles’ thought. Now, Stiles honey eyes were fixated on Derek’s hands, running over them like they were something precious rather than tools of death.
“Hmm.”
“What.”
“Nothing, I just - I thought they wouldn’t look like normal hands.”
“Why.”
“Because they’re magic,” Stiles said, looking up to meet Derek’s eyes.
“They’re not magic, they’re cursed,” Derek said, tucking his hands back into the sheet.

Summary
Fourth was the final and most important step of the Derek Hale Crush Process, right before he either dropped it or asked whoever it was on a date. The patented and very specific Derek Hale Chin Bob.
The “I’m-thinking-of-letting-you-bone-me” Chin Bob. The “that’s-it-let’s-do-this-thing” Chin Bob. The “I’m-gonna-woo-the-pants-off-you” Chin Bob. The “Oh-god-kiss-me” Chin Bob.Okay, okay, maybe Stiles was a little obsessed with the Chin Bob.

Summary
One of the things that surprised Stiles the most about dating Derek Hale was how easy it was.

Summary
“You got a secret sweet tooth we don’t know about?” Stiles asked, wiggling his eyebrows. Derek failed trying to not find it endearing.
“Shut up,” Derek said, knowing his face was pink, and held the book up to block Stiles’ view of his face.
“Whatever, sourwolf, you’re allowed to have SOME weaknesses. Might as well be cookies.”
If only Stiles knew. Which he would never.

“Hale,” Sheriff Stilinski said frowning down at him.
“Sir?” Derek replied, confused momentarily as he had been wrapped up in his work.
“Aren’t you supposed to be meeting my son downtown at 6?”
“Uh..” Derek started, whipping his head around to look at the clock.
“Because it’s 5:56, son, you’d better get movin,” the sheriff laughed, clapping his shoulder once more.
Derek shot up from his desk, banging his knee and cursing.

“I am here to investigate a call we received at the station. I am not a stripper. Stop saying that or I will arrest you.”
“As appealing as a situation involving you and handcuffs sound, arresting me is not gonna go over that well, and what supposed call are you investigating? An emergency in my pants?” Stiles smirked and Derek hated him.

“You really should be thanking me, what if you HAD been getting murdered? I was at the ready, poised to strike, I totally hypothetically saved your life.”
