Bitchie's Books

I thought this fic started out great, with Derek returning to town after the events of season 3a, with a different understanding of the events of the fire, and things Laura did when they left town. As such, his guilt and self angst is MUCH better, Derek is in a much more positive place now, and he's realized he wants Stiles. *squee!*

It's nice and slow burn, with lots of flashbacks between Derek and Cora, with Cora telling him things he didn't know, about Kate, and about Laura, and about Peter. This fic puts a whole new spin on things, and actually has Peter as a really nice guy. Maybe too nice? I kinda like sneaky, smarmy, always up to something Peter! It also has it's own spin on why Laura left town with Derek, and I thought the readers should have been told Laura's motivations behind it all, but that never happened.

By the end though, I felt things got TOO sweet. Once Derek declared himself to Stiles, they have the sex and then the mating bonding biting thing that very night, no dating, nothing, just bam! I love you, mated! I would have liked more buildup to that part of things. Then there was a too perfect epilogue, that has everyone settled and happy and perfect and shooting out babies left and right.

All in all, a decent, but not stand out story. Should be noted that this author did mix up her words a few times, can't remember specifics, but I remember it happening more than once.
