(Sound on.) We’re all doomed.

Dearest PopGirls,

I'm beyond proud to finally present Mink's official guide to Parseltongue, created with the invaluable help of @creature-of-insomnia . This guide wouldn't be what it is without Ana; I couldn't have done it without her.

We've both worked incredibly hard to develop the Parseltongue language, not only for my story but also for you, dear readers. Now, instead of relying on mindless hissing or made-up words, you have a structured language to use in your fanfictions. The guide draws from the Parseltongue used in the films and is influenced by Greek words. Unlike the existing Parseltongue alphabets I've seen on the internet, which feel unrealistic and are often just based on the English alphabet, as well as entirely too long to be used in actual sentences, we've crafted something authentic and concise — something that can be used naturally in sentences.

It fills me with immense joy to finally share this with you all. I'm incredibly proud of what we've created.

The majority of the spreadsheet is complete, although me and Ana are still working hard on it to be as perfect as it can be.

My only request is that you give credit if you use it in your fanfics. If you'd like to contribute by suggesting words you'd like to see in this guide, please feel free to comment, and I'll do my best to add them.

You can find the official guide here:

He Speaks in Petals by calrissian18

(1/1 I 4,727 I Mature I Sterek)

“You think what you once were is what you always are. Growth is not only for trees, little Hale.”

Stiles Stilinski, Animal Whisperer by StaciNadia

(1/1 I 5,558 I Teen I Sterek)

When Stiles gets bitten and becomes a werefox, he discovers that he can understand what animals are saying.

2. Diamonds by brokenes

(2/2 I 12,170 I Teen I Sterek)

The pack is up against a monster that manifests itself as your worst fear, but what if Derek's fear had already come to life? What if he'd already lost Stiles? And it was nobody's fault but his.

Being Close to You by isthatbloodonhisshirt (wasterella)

(4/4 I 14,149 I Teen I Sterek)

Realization dawned and Derek cursed himself viciously. How could he be stupid enough to forget Scott was a Werewolf? He could fucking smell him! Scott knew it was him!

“Stiles?” Scott asked uncertainly while Stiles started opening and closing various cabinets, looking for who knew what. “That’s not a d—”

Derek snarled and let out a loud bark, eyes glowing blue in Scott’s direction since Stiles couldn’t see him from where he was standing. Scott scowled at him, moving closer to him and inhaling pointedly.

“What are you doing here, Derek?” Scott asked, voice low enough that Stiles wouldn’t hear. He wasn’t listening anyway, still panicking and randomly opening things.

Star-Crossed by cloudsarefluffy

(4/4 I 32,949 I Mature I Sterek)

Derek clears his throat quietly, resuming his plan on retrieving the boy’s mythology book, “Y-You dropped this…”

“I know, but- thanks.”

The boy snatches the book out of Derek’s hand with his mortification filling the air in a sharp, heady scent that has Derek’s wolf mentally salivating, “You’re welcome… Uh, do you know where the tutor session thing is supposed to be?”

“T-That’s me,” with another addition of pink to his cheeks, the boy rushes to correct himself a little, “I mean, I’m the tutor here and this is supposed to be- oh god, I’m really butchering this, aren’t I?”

Turning Year by Stiles_Hale_38

(19/19 I 42,733 I Explicit I Sterek)

Every year, people turning eighteen in Stiles' village will transform into their animal, a gift from the Gods. Stiles is hoping that he is a fierce animal. He wants to continue the Stilinski legacy and transform into something big and strong, something he is not.

Stiles discovers there is an entire world outside of his village and along the way he meets Derek Hale, a strange wolf without a pack, who aids him along his journey.

The New Normal by midnightcas

(27/27 I 63,392 I Teen I Sterek)

After Stiles gets hurt...again, Derek puts him on the metaphorical supernatural bench. Meanwhile, Stiles tries to have a normal life and make normal friends. But when a new pack comes to town and the Hales start getting threats, things start to get a little....not normal.

Bruises and Hickies, Stitches and Scars by ElisAttack

(12/12 I 89,808 I Explicit I Sterek)

“You’re my lawyer, Derek. What are you going to do, draft up a contract for yourself?”

Or the one where Stiles is a professional dominant, Derek is his lawyer, and their professional relationship suddenly becomes not so professional.

Also, faeries.

run and hide by whiry

(36/36 I 174,966 I Teen I Sterek)

"Unlike Derek, Stiles still remembers the first time they met. He remembers the confusion at the pull in his chest, tugging him to the boy with big ears and light eyes. He’d been in the grocery store with his mother and Derek with his, and they had all been minding their business, but Stiles had a niggling in the back of his head directing him toward Derek. And when their eyes met for the first time? Stiles’ heart about exploded. He remembers grabbing his chest and gasping and his mother running over and Derek’s mother running over. The boys didn’t even say anything, and poor Derek looked so confused, and Talia and Claudia simply looked at their boys, looked at each other, and immediately set up a time to meet. And that was how it started."

or, stiles and derek suck at being mates, a new threat comes to town, and stiles has to desperately try to save everything he's ever loved from total destruction all while trying to get through his sophomore year unscathed.

When it all comes crumbling down by Littleredridinghunter

(18/18 I 216,191 I Not Rated I Sterek)

Stiles is recovering from the Nogitsune. Erica is the only one that is really there for him, Scott's too busy rekindling his relationship with Allison and Stiles feels like he's falling apart.

When a near-miss with a kelpie results in an encounter that he could never have predicted, Stiles begins to think his life might be getting back on track.

He's wrong.

Stiles' life is so messed up he can't even begin to explain it, maybe it's time for him to finally do something for himself and get out of Beacon Hills. But where will that path lead?

With Stiles involved, no doubt danger and death won't be far behind.

Manipulated by DearDaisy (Scribblesnpaws)

(30/30 I 221,251 I Mature I Sterek)

Nine years ago, Scott kicked Stiles out of the pack. Stiles left and never returned. But now his dad has been hurt, so Stiles returns to take care of him. No one knows the truth of what happened back then, not even Scott or Stiles. But that's about to change.

Very much thanks to @zaharya for writing this. I loved it and everyone should read it.

Title: A Faire Fight By: @zaharya Gift for: @alehalebane Rating: Teen and Up Word Count: 6 ,727 words Warning(s): None Creator Notes: Dear Alehalebane, congratulations, your prompt made me break my initial resolution to only claim one really short prompt — but I couldn’t just let the chance to write low-stakes fight scenes pass me by! So here we are, I ignored my own rules, but I’m really happy to have been able to claim your prompt. I hope you like how it turned out! Summary: Arthur caught sight of Merlin when there were maybe fifteen of them left. He faltered, jaw dropping open, and it was pure luck the man charging at him had terrible aim, or he would’ve failed out of the melee right then and there. Pulling himself together, he made quick work of his attacker, before putting some distance between himself and the others to collect himself. And, perhaps, to stare just a little. Merlin was… magnificent. He wielded his sword like an extension of his own body — a lesson most of Arthur’s knights had never truly mastered. His movements were quick and precise, yet fluent, graceful in a way Arthur had never seen before, as he landed disqualifying hits on two, three, four opponents in rapid succession. Or: The one where Merlin brings a returned Arthur to a medieval faire and they fight in a tournament. AO3 Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/45646960 

Thank you so so so sooooo much to Loopstagirl for this piece, it was so cute and just amazing. If you haven’t read it then you should because it’s so good. Also thank you to glompfest and all who worked to help me and so many others get a fic/art piece that they wanted.

A lot of people are reporting their ballots weren't counted for various reasons that are not sound (signature invalidation, information that vote counter could not have had.) This all occurred in swing states. (Pennsylvania, Nevada, Georgia). 2025 president candidate Donald Trump has hinted at foul play in the public press for months now. This calls for a requirement of an investigation for tampering/interference/voter fraud, not just a recount."
