This was an eloquent, almost lyrically written fic that tells, more than shows, the story of Stiles's revelations about many things. He's changed from the nogitsune nightmare and no one can really help him and no one seems to get it except Derek. Seamlessly Derek becomes a safe place for Stiles and as they spend more time together not dealing, not really doing anything but being and healing - they obviously and inevitably come to realize there's more to their platonic friendship.

Quiet and understated, this packs an impressive punch on the feels. I seriously need 300 more pages of exactly this kind of storytelling.
