In which brainy freshman Stiles Stilinski wants star quarterback Derek Hale to join the math team, AKA math nerds in love.
Recently, I willingly jumped into the abyss of AO3 fanfics about that most amazing and adorable ship, #Sterek. Yes, Stiles and Derek from Teen Wolf. I've probably read a million (or two?) words on them since the beginning of the year.
And it's been glorious.
Yes, there have been some ups and downs, but once in a while, you run into a fic that just grabs you and makes you cry out in jubilation.
Binomial Coefficients by DevilDoll is one of them.
I FREAKING LOVED THIS STORY!!!
*ahem*
Yes, this review required at least one shouty-caps statement. :D
I read this story last night, and I can't count the number of times I squeed out loud.
Binomial Coefficients is a high school AU in which opposites, however unlikely, definitely attract. Stiles is a freshman math nerd who convinces Derek the senior quarterback to join the math team.
It's awkward. It's funny. It's adorable. It's GLORIOUS.
I loved this story so freaking hard. The way the writer crafted their relationship was beautiful to watch, and the Stiles POV was perfect in that you could definitely see the feelings develop, even through the filter of his skewed perspective. Because, yes, Stiles is just trying not to get beat up by Derek when he proposes Derek join the math team.
Derek, on the other hand... Well. Let's just say he might be more than interested in having some one-on-one tutoring time with Stiles.
*wink wink*
If you're feeling down, this would be a fantastic little fic to pick you right back up. It's a freshman/senior relationship, but I wasn't bothered by the age difference in this story. There's some kissing, but mostly it's about feelings.
That said, the first kiss? I seriously swooned.
You can find this 20k word fic for free at Archive of Our Own.
Go. Go get it. And then read the freaking hell out of it!
