I did it! I don't know whether to be ecstatic or terrified...

INCIDENCE AND REFLECTION
Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski. NC17. Canon-divergent AU. 9500 words.
Mentions of pack characters [as well as a cameo by Dean Winchester]. Alpha!Derek, Alpha!Scott, Human!Stiles.
Derek came to the roadhouse looking for information and an uneventful night. He gets Stiles instead.

notes. This takes place in a canon-divergent AU in which Scott was still bitten by a rogue Alpha, and Derek lost his family (as well as built his own pack), but they've never met. Season 1&2 events have still happened (ergo, spoilers?), but to Scott and Derek separately. So Derek and Stiles have never met before. This is not an underage story. Stiles is 19, and Derek is who the fuck knows.

Thanks to akadougal for the beta!

Derek lets his senses take over. Beyond the barley and old leather smells of the roadhouse, beneath Dean’s store-brand aftershave and simmering aggression, Derek’s able to root out the anomalous scent. Across the room, the nimble stranger circles around to the front of the pool table, t-shirt fluttering around his lean middle. That’s when Derek catches it—a saccharine sweetness, slightly artificial but with a hint of sweat and cotton. As if the sugar is a part of him.
