Stiles is a Selkie. Derek a lone wolf living secluded on Celtic shores.

I found this a bit hard to get into and somewhat dragging. The plot seems like it would be straight forward - a Selkie seeking a lonely soul to comfort, but there is a twist ... Stiles believes he's a zero on the Kinsey scale. And so begins this back and forth exploration(?) of Stiles realizing he is bisexual. Maybe a good plot bunny, but it read oddly and Stiles' realization that he is suddenly good with same sex smexing seemed very abrupt.

Even odder - it does read as a quiet and "pretty" fic. So take that for what it is worth.

It felt too short to DNF, but if the fic was any longer I probably would have.

So I actually read this one by "accident" - not realizing it is the one featuring sex with Derek in full on wolf form. But I have to say, though I am zero percent interested reading anything featuring sex with anyone in full on wolf form ever again ... it didn't scar me and was really quite minor in the grand scheme of the story.

What I did very much enjoy was the plot. Stiles has a run in with a another pack and unsubtley let's them know that he knows what they are - which startles them. Then they confront Derek and invoke an old werewolf tradition of "containment" for letting a human know that werewolves exist. Derek's options to resolve this situation are to either kill Stiles, hand him over to the other pack or claim him as his mate. Yeah, tough choice there Derek.

I also liked Peter in this, he is creepily likeable - as he should be.… (mais)
