o Fanfiction: Teen Wolf: It seems wasted now by DaaroMoltor By bestthingever.dreamwidth.org Published On :: Sun, 15 Sep 2019 17:29:55 GMT Posted by: ninetydegreesFandom: Teen WolfCharacters/Pairings: Stiles/DerekRating: Teen And UpLength: 48,544 wordsSummary: It's been months. Months of lonely days and lonelier nights.And Stiles can't understand what he did wrong.Why is it the BEST THING EVER: I found it to be one of the best stories I've read in this fandom because the author uses several well-loved tropes and treats them with the utmost respect and thoughtfulness. The author's take on them felt incredibly satisfying and believable, but still gave space for other possibilities at several points in the story. It could have gone differently and it would have been right too. I found the story raw, intense and beautiful. There is so much you can do with this fandom and these characters and this fic is a perfect example of that. It's made me fall in love with fanfiction all over again.Fanwork Links: https://archiveofourown.org/works/15212723 comments Full Article length (words): 40.000 - 60.000 fandom: teen wolf type: fanfiction
