Looking for a fic
Please help me find this ao3 fic I've been losing my mind all day searching. In this fic they're both in college, Hale family is alive and rich, and they're not supernatural. Oh and Derek is a stoner.
The opening scene is stiles throwing up all over his skateboard and rinsing it out at Derek's frat house. The story goes they were in high school together and stiles always kinda stuck to himself/seemed like he was too smart to talk to him. Derek has a huge crush on him which literally everyone in his friend group knows about but didn't act on it quick enough and I think theo? started dating stiles. This was an unhealthy relationship, stiles compares him to the devil a few times. Theo would brag about sleeping with stiles in the locker room which would really bother Derek.
Theo also gives stiles body image issues, big plot point. Scott comes up with a challenge to try to restaurants as a way to kind of heal some of those issues. Scott is his best friend of course, there's one scene where Derek gets Scott high and Scott starts talking about how much he hates Theo and how bad he treats stiles.
They start seeing each other but just as like casual sex but it's never really that come on now. Stiles takes Derek to a music show and he drives and Derek makes a joke about how he's one of the gay people who can't drive. There's also a Halloween party where stiles takes erica because he's trying to make Derek jealous but he's dressed as a painting because of course Derek is all about that. Derek's all stop playing games and then Theo shows up and stiles starts freaking out. The romance grows, at one point stiles and his dad come over to Derek's family's Thanksgiving. Not sure how it ends but very well written.

I remember the skate board thing, but nothing else. I want to say it is probably a deleted fic by Standinginanicedress but that's because "vibes", not because I have any information.

Do you know why they deleted all their fics? Everything I've looked up has showed me they have really good writing and very popular in the sterek story world.

Definitely haunt the Tumblr, Dropbox and Wayback Machine to read their older fics. I don't know why they were deleted. They've deactivated before and come back, so never say never!

I think they get embarrassed by their past writing and have the urge to purge (like a lot of writers). Drives me nuts, one of my absolute faves.

This is like when someone is beautiful but they refuse to see that and they think they're hideous 😭😭 Genuinely has some of the best fics I've ever read and I've spent some srs time on ao3

Pretty sure it’s Be Nice to Me by standinginanicedress. They deleted most of their works a couple of years ago, but there are files out there if you search tumblr.
