Ok I really liked this fic. But at the same time I felt like it ended before it got started and I'm frustrated!! Arrggghhh!

Here Stiles is especially sharp, instinctively knowing how to handle Derek, knows when to push, when to back off and really offering what Derek needs despite his resistance on all fronts.

This definitely has a bit of off brand humor but it works. It also has some good feels and what I mean by that are feels that hit you a little harder than usual. Derek's melancholy self is particularly harsh and introspective. Stiles's feelings are resilient despite them getting trampled on time and again.

So yes this is another fine example showing the gradual, eventual, inevitable Stiles, wearing down self proclaimed I'm-not-worthy-of-love-or-happiness Derek Hale, and it was genius and different and I'm still pissed that it ended right when it got good!

This perfectly shows the push pull of Derek and Stiles - their reluctance, their resistance, their inevitable feelings that form despite the deflection and denial.

How do you say something was exceedingly smart and witty and captures our beloved guys in a comforting but still refreshing way?? Through a series of events Stiles grudgingly comes to realize some things; Derek is humanized not idolized. Every tidbit of info that Stiles learns about him gets emblazoned in his brain. He can't let it go and it infuriates him.

Derek's pathos is especially severe and the self loathing is extreme here. God forbid though that either one of them admits to having feelings - feelings other than exasperation, annoyance, anger, and frustration.

As always and thankfully, these boys do pull their head out of their asses - eventually. If only we could have witnessed that first coming together and ultimately, them reuniting and making up. THAT would have been the extra icing on a cake that was already fabulous.

This was fun, just like most any other high school/college Sterek AU out there.

What starts off as simple fraternity pranking, escalates into a one-upmanship between Derek and Stiles. Be prepared for plenty of glee, lust, and self doubt.

Things are about to get personal fast... *wink, wink*

Easy reading that was funny with flirty light smex! There's a companion fic in Derek's POV if you're interested.
