Stiles is the only child of John Stilinski and his wife and Beacon Hills is his entire world. He's lived there all his life, playing in the woods and walking the streets, and going to school there. There are very few parts of the town where he is not immediately known as Stiles, the Sheriff's son. There is no part of the town that has not felt his presence at least once.
He has always lived in the same house, it is the place where his parents decided they were going to make a life together. It has always been a home full of love and laughter and warmth. Stiles has always had these walls to run back to, these same rooms that radiate comfort.
These things have always been true of him. He has always had his home and his family. He was fortunate to grow up with parents who loved him, even with the ADHD that made a lot of things harder. Who accepted him for who and what he was and always encouraged his curiosity. He got his insatiable need for knowing more from his mother, who always had the answer for whatever question he could possibly think up.
This was where he learned about love and family, that when you commit wholeheartedly to people, you invest in them, protect them, you love them, and that makes you stronger. It makes you unbreakable. You can get through anything if you have family next to you.
These were the lessons he learned at his parents' knees. Faith, love, loyalty, commitment.
Stiles' life before was like the fairytales that his mother told him before bed every night, she would always end storytime with a kiss to his forehead, telling him that he was proof that "happily ever after" did happen.
And then she died. And so did Stiles' belief in the world of make-believe. A Lost Boy no more, it was time to grow up.
And my heart is a hollow plain - For the devil to dance again
These things are true of Stiles after Her.
He made a promise to her before the end. To take care of his dad and to be good and to never forget what family is.
This is how he keeps his promise.
He takes over the cooking for his dad. He also takes out the trash, buys the groceries, and brings in the mail. One day, he notices a letter from the doctor. Regular physicals are part of life for his father, making sure that the Sheriff is always in good fighting condition. Always good to go when the town needs him. These results aren't great and Stiles is smart enough to understand what they mean.
So he goes through the cabinets and does some research and makes a plan. The last three doors down gives him a copy of her cookbook in return for mowing her grass and he starts cooking healthier foods, foods that will help lower his father's cholesterol, keep him healthier, keep him alive.
He's always been good at schoolwork. Too good sometimes and it makes him a little cocky, just that much more of a smartass. He's smart and he knows it. He doesn't dance anymore. His sense of rhythm died with his mother. He's found other ways around the ADHD, coping mechanisms for the static in his head, the buzz that keeps him always needing to go and do and study and read and be better. School is a good distraction, it keeps his brain busy, keeps him out of his dad's hair for a bit.
He can't leave him totally alone. Not for the first couple of months, Dad will eat when he puts food in front of him, sleeps only when his brain can shut off, mostly on their couch wrapped around the afghan that Mom's mom had sent before Stiles had even been a twinkle in his parents' eyes.
He starts exaggerating the truth here and there, not wanting to bother his dad. He's the Sheriff, his job is hard enough, and Stiles doesn't need to add to it.
He gets into Lacrosse because of Scott and it's good for him. It makes his dad grin and that is what keeps him going back for practice after practice despite never actually getting to play in any of the games. Scott is good for him, keeps him from beign a complete nobody lost in the halls of Beacon High and he tells himself that as long as he has Scott and his dad, he can keep on, keeping on, as one counselor put it.
He falls in love with Lydia Martin. He thinks his mother might have liked the girl with the prettiest hair and smile he'd ever seen. He's not discouraged when she doesn't pay attention to him. He remembers that the patient hero always walks away with the beautiful princess as long as the hero keeps the faith.
So he tries to be a good student (straight A's but behavioral issues, he gets bored easily in class okay?), a good son (trying to make Dad's life as easy as possible counts right?), and a good friend (this at least is one area where he knows that he's good. Him and Scott, nerdbros for life.) and tries to just make it through high school alive.
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
Scott gets bitten by a werewolf. And everything that Stiles has grown to love changes. In a way, it's the best thing to ever happen to him. Balancing the need to understand Scott's new furry problem, keeping up with the schoolwork, and making sure his Dad is okay has made him feel more alive than ever.
There are new additions to their circle of friends, Scott falls in love, and his lady-love, the Huntress-Juliet to his Wolfy-Romeo brings Lydia (and Jackson) with her. The rest of the lacrosse team floats in and out after Scott is named co-captain. It's an interesting change.
He meets more wolves. Turns down the offer of a lifetime. Learns a lot of things really fast. Scott isn't the only one who's not quite the same. He has a spark inside him, something that can make the impossible possible. He's still developing his control over it, but with time and practice, he'll make himself a force to be reckoned with.
He gets better at lying, if there is one thing that dealing with the rogue Alpha/psychotic Uncle and the lizard boy who almost became a dragon controlled by a completely bugfuck nuts grandpa on a vengeance kick has taught him, it's that not everyone is cut out for the knowledge of this world. Scott's mother took days to come around to the idea that her son was now a werewolf. And seeing his father get hurt because of the kanima...that cannot ever happen again.
So Stiles will lie and cheat and steal and do whatever he has to do in order that his father is safe from the terrors that stalk the night. That there will be no reason for anyone to even think about possibly using Stiles' father against them, against him. Stiles himself cannot walk away from this world now that his eyes have been opened.
But he made a promise to his mother to look after his father and this is the best way to do that. No matter how much it hurts.
Except that might not be possible with the virgin sacrifices all over town and his father in the dead middle of the investigations. Especially when one of the victims is an old friend of Stiles’ and he’s the last person to see her alive.
And when there are now rival wolves trying to take their territory from them, any way they can.
And Stiles cannot afford to let them succeed and he will die trying in the attempt to save his father from being aware of this other side to their sleepy little California town.
