The gang plans way in advance for a couples retreat, and Stiles's plus one falls through. He doesn't want to not go so he drags Derek with him.

Just a warning - the amount of bickering between these two was off the charts - probably in the top 3 of most bickering ever. Some of it was smart and funny but like everyone else, I just wanted to say "just f*** already so we can have some peace!!" Scuze my language.

Of course they end up playing the Newlywed game which reveals all sorts of insight. Wonders of wonders that when they pool their animosity and snark together and use it for good instead of evil, things come out brilliantly.

All in all, a decent fic showing how great these two could be when cooperating (duh) with a touch of man pain and insecurity in between their typical cluelessness. Bonus for awesome Sheriff time.
