Teen Wolf art: Lydia Martin



So I started watching Teen Wolf. This picture is Lydia Martin. She screams a lot and is my favorite. She has lots of personality, is super smart, and is very self-interested (as opposed to a protagonist who's limited plotwise to Doing the Right Thing, i.e. Scott and Allison), and gets to do eerie creepy things that freak her out. She is oodles of fun to watch.

Please give me recs! Tell me where the hangouts and challenges are! Though I've heard this is a one pairing fandom - Y/N? Maybe I can bribe people for Lydia fic? Ooh, how about team fic?! There's got to be that, right?

I hear fandom has a lot of Derek. My favorite part of Derek Hale is his total failure at life and leadership. (He hopes all his pack babies' problems can be solved by TRYING HARDER or CARING MORE - and he's wrong and there are consequences. I ♥ consequences.) I am making a wild assumption that fic!Derek will be... competent and/or smooth, even, and that will make me sad. So sad. :(

Also, I WANT LYDIA. And yes, Lydia/Stiles. Or Lydia/anyone. And teamfic. And world building. Tell me -- is there hope?!

You're welcome! I'm glad you liked :D

I laughed a bit when I looked over my post, because even when I'm deliberately trying to rec non-Sterek stuff, it still finds its way in! Sterek is definitely the McShep pairing in TW fandom. I'm a fan, so that doesn't bother me, but the sheer volume does have a tendency to overwhelm the other pairings.

Also, a tip: if you're on AO3 searching for your rare pair of choice, make sure to include -"Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski" in the "Search within results" box. That will give you fic that's exclusively for your pairing and let you avoid fic where they're just a stop on the way to endgame Sterek. (That doesn't tend to happen as much with Stiles/Lydia, but there's a fair amount of Stiles/Danny fics that end up as Derek/Stiles, and that can be frustrating if you're a Stanny fan.)
