Legend says that selkies are drawn to souls who have yearning in their heart in the hopes to abate or make better. Stiles's seal brings him to Derek's door and he's quite confused having never "pleased" a man before. Having been alone for so long, Derek takes what comfort he can in the stranger's platonic friendship. He knows better to not get too attached as selkies are known to appear for a short time and never return.

This had great UST and with what I thought was some pretty good angsty yearning. Wistful and tender, intermixed with a bit of haunting melancholic destiny, this leaves you on a high note knowing that despite some big obstacles, these two will always find each other.
