Looking for a lost Sterek fic (AO3)
I'm trying to find a Sterek fic I read a few years ago and it's driving me crazy. Here's what I remember (some details might be slightly off): English, complete, probably under 15k. Canon universe, set several years after Beacon Hills. POV Derek. Derek is living alone in an apartment, possibly in New York (not 100% sure). Stiles shows up to see him after they've been out of touch for years. They were never together before, they just drifted apart. The opening scene is what really stuck with me. Derek is coming home and, before he even gets to his apartment, he hears a familiar heartbeat (I think while he's still outside) and then realizes it's Stiles from his scent. He goes upstairs, finds Stiles in his kitchen cooking, and there's almost no dialogue. Derek immediately goes up behind him and holds him, and the reunion becomes physical almost immediately before they really talk. I think they end up in the bedroom, but I'm not completely sure. I know this is a long shot, but that opening has stayed with me for years and I haven't been able to find it again. It's not All We Are Is Skin & Bones. Does this ring a bell for anyone?
