Wont You Be My Constant

by captaintinymite (augopher)

God of Wine Derek has long spent his days enjoying the fruits of his followers’ labor, drinking, partaking in revelry and hedonism. He was a god; it was his prerogative. For just as long his devotees have celebrated alongside him. After an argument with Derek, half satyr/half dryad, Stiles, a confidante and occasional paramour of the god, has fled the forest bound for Thrace. However, King Gerard of Thrace, disapproving of the way the Maenads, worshipers in the Cult of Derek, have chosen to practice their religion, has imprisoned them in his kingdom. Unfortunately, Stiles gets caught in the roundup. Now Derek, with the help of some unlikely allies, must launch a rescue mission to free his flock and his friend, with whom he seeks to atone for his inconstant affection. Can he free them in time, and will Stiles accept Derek’s apology?

A Hole Where Something

by Hari_Aisu

The green-eyed 26-year-old was used to his routine. He knew what to expect each and every day. There weren’t any surprises and where there were no surprises there were not any loss of expectations. Derek had learned early on that to have hope was to have disappointment and he was sick and tired of being disappointed. What Derek did not take into account was that life was not content to leave people be. Things changed, no matter how resistant someone was to it. And the inevitable downward spiral of change all started with a very well made cup of coffee and a very unkind smile.

Lips Pressed Close to

by Hari_Aisu

Derek was quite used to messing things up. It wasn’t something he intentionally set out to do, which was only funny because most people didn’t believe that after meeting him, but it was something he begrudgingly got used to. Begrudgingly. In college, they had named him Fail-rek as a direct result of all of his defects, which yes, hurt just as much as you would expect. It wasn’t as if he set out to be as incompetent as he apparently was but when you continually kept making mistakes what was there to do other than accept your lot in life and move on? (He did beat the crap out of anyone who called him Fail-rek to his face though, don’t even get him started.)

Blame Everyone But Me

by Hari_Aisu

Both Derek and Stiles were much more alike than either man cared to admit. Both men had gone into the relationship thinking that it was temporary, despite both of their protests to the contrary. The thought of being together was the relationship equivalent of handling a time-bomb; set to a time limit and once detonated, not salvageable. Although Stiles and Derek were positive that they wouldn’t be the one to end it, it would ultimately pan out in disaster when it did. They didn’t see the other man’s devotion. Not when they were both so used to failure and disappointment. The problem with that type of mentality when you were in a relationship was that when it did end and the dust settled and everyone was scattered away from each other, you were never quite ready for the inevitable goodbye. Both Derek and Stiles were much more alike than either man cared to admit and they would both come to pay for it dearly.
