alee_grrlI'm beyond ecstatic to announce that I completed my first Rough Trade challenge. This month's challenge to complete a paranormal romance novella. I decided to sign up to write a Teen Wolf romance and had a blast doing so.
July Rough Trade - Perceptions Challenge (Paranormal Romance)
Title: A Merry War
Rating: R (though it turned out to be more Teen)
Warnings: None (all the were used on the RT site were just in case as we had to put the warnings in our project file, none were needed in the end)
Fandoms: Teen Wolf
Genres: Alternate Universe, Paranormal, Romance, Slash
Category: m/m
Relationships: Stiles/Peter, Sheriff Stilinski/Chris Argent, Jackson/Danny
Tags: AU-No Hale Fire
Word Count: 19,420
Summary: After his dad suffers an injury at work, Stiles decides to take his step-dad up on the offer to co-run his training gym. It’s weird to be back in Beacon Hills after all this time, but one thing is for sure--the Hales are every bit as gorgeous and weird as he remembers. He’d been content to ponder their weirdness from afar, just as he’d done as a kid. But then he meets Peter and he can’t decide if he’d rather climb the man like a tree or strangle him with one of his outrageously expensive neck-ties.
Author’s Notes: The rating and warnings are all just to be on the safe side given the underlying canon. Better to err on the side of caution in these things. The potential character bashing would be towards Scott McCall.
Title from Much Ado About Nothing
There is a kind of merry war betwixt Signior Benedick and her:
they never meet but there's a skirmish of wit between them.
-Act 1, Scene 1
In this universe the Hale Fire never happened. Christopher Argent discovered what his dad and sister were up to long before Kate set her sight on Beacon Hills and turned them into his great aunt, the Argent Matriarch at that time. He ended up divorced and leaving hunting forever. Since the fire never happened, Scott was never bitten, Stiles wasn’t introduced to the supernatural world in high school, and Beacon Hills is a calm and peaceful territory.
My project file for the story can be found here. The project file has links to all six parts.

Some of the storylines stretch the bounds of credibility a bit, but I personally get so hooked by the human element and the good acting that I can loosen my suspension of disbelief a bit. I also really love that starting in Season 2 we get a recurring child character with Cerabal Palsey whose represented in a very good way without it being inspiration porn. Even better is that the character is played by a young actor with CP. It is a show that will frequently hit you in the feels though, but I keep coming back to it. 🤣
