    Summary

    Last week Derek turned thirty, and Laura thought it would be "beneficial" to sign him up for The One That's The One. Laura has a Match, but Cora doesn't, and she seems to like it that way. Cora thinks the concept of soul mates is bullshit.

    Outwardly, Derek agrees with her. Deep down inside, Laura knows him better than anyone.

    All of which is why call-me-Stiles is currently standing in his home, at five past midnight. Standing in his home, touching his stuff, and talking.

    How the fuck did he think this was a good idea?

    Summary

    "Derek," Stiles says, firm. His hand is warm on Derek's shoulder. "I'll be okay."

    "You didn't leave me," Derek argues. "How can you expect me to leave you?"

    Stiles rolls his eyes. "Oh my god, it'll be fine. Even if I am captured, I'm just a boring human. They wanted you for your Lycan blood."

    Derek crosses his arms. Mainly so he doesn't wrap his hands around Stiles' throat in an attempt to throttle some sense into him. "That's fine. But this isn't a time when being a boring human is an asset. This is a time when being a boring human results in a shot to the head."

    "Derek," Stiles says again. He steps closer, so Derek is surrounded in his scent, his chemosignals—namely unwavering, resolute determination, distinctively sharp and entirely unbreakable—clouding Derek's mind. "You'll come back for me." He sounds so sure, and he can tell the exact moment Derek gives in. Because Derek somehow always gives in to Stiles.

    "I'll come back for you," he confirms. "And you better not be dead."

    Stiles grins, eyes sparkling with far too much humour for someone who potentially just sacrificed himself for a surly Lycan and bunch of strangers. "You do say the sweetest things."

    Summary

    Stiles gets a determined look in his eyes. He takes a breath. "Help me, Derek Hale. You're my only hope." Then he pulls a face, and Derek feels his own face mirror it. "Yeah, that felt really gross, let's never do that again. But I do need your help. These guys don't know who I am, my like, name or face, but they can track my magic, so I need to not have any for a while. I know a spell that can do that, but it'll also take my memories, so I need you to look out for me. Just like you used to." He smiles crookedly, sadly, and Derek feels something inside him clench painfully. "I promise wouldn't do this if I had any other choice."

    Summary

    "That was stupid." He bats the kid's hands away and rearranges the items in the bag. He's mixed canned goods and dairy, does this kid even know how to efficiently pack a bag? "The TiMER is a gift." He says it automatically, because that's what his mom says. That's how he was brought up. That's what he's supposed to think.

    He used to believe it, back when he was sixteen and idealistic, before he actually got his TiMER, back when he was so sure that his soulmate would be Paige. Back when he believed in the romcoms, in his mom's books, in the elaborate advertisements for TiMERs—the ones with all the interviews with loving real life couples, with testimonials to their effectiveness and their ability to make you happy and fulfilled, with guarantees of an improved quality of life and even life expectancy. Back when he thought meeting his soulmate was an inevitability, not a slim possibility.
