Summary
They say when a man dies, he sees a bright light. Brain calms the body deprived of oxygen. It sinks to the bottom slowly, not even feeling the impact. Eyes shut and hands no longer look for something to grasp. Don't look for non-existent steps of a ladder. Everything comes to rest. There is nothing around.
It’s a lie.

Summary
Sequel to What The Water Gave Me
Being human is quite simple, at least from the biological point of view. You have to eat, sleep, excrete, move. You can also use your brain, but this isn’t essential. You just die quicker when you don’t. Man isn’t immortal or invincible. He is very fragile and delicate. It’s easy to break the bones in his frail body, tear the skin and muscles. It’s easy to kill him. However, not everyone, some of them can be very stubborn.

Summary
No one knows how many devils fit on the head of a pin. Maybe a hundred, maybe only one. They've been trying to solve this strange problem for ages, even though the answer wouldn't satisfy anyone sane. A devil isn't just a horned creature with a tail, from hell, that herds restless souls into a cauldron full of tar with a pitchfork. It's just one definition of a devil. The simplest, the most stupid, the least perfect. A devil is pain, fear, or rage. It's addiction, betrayal and fright. It's injustice.
On the head of a pin you can fit every devil in the world.

Summary
Despite everything they say, Titanium isn’t bulletproof. Titanium alloy is difficult to work with, isn’t corroding, as a carbon it breaks light much better than a diamond. It is durable, opaque, isn’t subjecting to temperature changes as easily as other metals. However, it can bend at a suitable pressure, or even simply break. It’s not indestructible.
In which Derek gets hurt and Stiles have to deal with it, but not without a word to his alpha and boyfriend.

Summary
This isn’t desire. Desire is sweeter, simpler. Dilated pupils, slightly faster breathing, sheen of sweat on skin. Desire is stretching mouth into a smile, it’s something primitive and animalistic. It’s a word full of empty gestures, sounds and touch. Like a fever, a disease that cannot be cured, something natural and very personal. It’s easy to make a mistake, give a simple name to complicated things. It’s harder to understand, feel, say. Desire is salty skin, sand in short hair and sweetness on the lips.
Morning after events in "Titanium".
