Amanda had worked up enough courage to go down the high slide. So I walked her over to the line.

THAT TIME DEREK GOT KIDNAPPED AND BRAINWASHED and when Stiles finally managed to get in to see him it was a charity event and Derek was smiling at people shyly and talking a little and politely shook Stiles’ hand and told him he should try the shrimp puffs and made an awkward little joke and was completely unguarded and charming and laughed a little when Stiles got him alone in the library said he didn’t uh really do stuff like this kissed the corner of Stiles’ mouth said ‘is this okay?’ and Stiles cupped Derek’s face in his hands to break the spell and felt like the worst fucking person in the world (via helenish)
just finished episode 8 and i’m crying like a fucking baby! Agron!!!! T———————T Crixus T—-T
JSYK, yesterday Nia broke my heart by making me read the 1st part of her angst sterek fic T—-T
i was a heavy heart to carry; my beloved was weighed down
when he had me in his arms, my feet never touched the ground
This is just beautiful… cried, cried, cried.

I don’t think I have words to describe the way this moment makes me feel. If I was forced to make a comparison I would ask you to conjure up an image of a baby doe laying on a nimbus cloud that was being lifted into the still morning air by a pair of doves while Josh Groban sang “You Raise Me Up” to a group of children and puppies in a field of daisies below. Then toss a handful of glitter onto it.
Because this is Derek DON’T TOUCH ME Hale. This is the person who has reacted to physical interaction with disdain, at best, and violent aggression, at worst. This is the person who tossed Erica onto the ground and Peter across a room when they pulled out the touch card. This is the person who uses physicality as a means of intimidation and control.
Earlier in the season he grabbed Stiles’s shoulders as he ran past him on his way to save Scott, and it made my heart leap. It felt like the beginning of something, like a possibility. Then here, in this moment, he made physical contact for no other purpose than communication. He grabbed Isaac’s shoulder because Isaac was obviously upset by what just happened. (I won’t even go into the expression on Derek’s face throughout the entire Jackson scene because that’s a whole other post.) Derek made that gesture in order to give comfort and solidarity to the person who stayed even if Isaac didn’t stay for Derek. We know Derek isn’t good with words. He isn’t good with expressing his emotions. But he said more with that one gesture than he’s said in a long time. All I can think about is “the simple yet undeniable power of human love.”
I want to hold this moment up for everyone who thinks that Derek hasn’t progressed at all this season. Albeit, he has fucked up a LOT, and no, this might not seem like much. It’s not the most obvious moment in the world. But it’s there and it matters and this, more than anything else, gives me hope for Derek and his pack.
