A series of happy ending, mostly lighthearted fics wherein Stiles, to Peter's dismay, gets to know his wolf. Despite aforementioned wolf's best efforts.

"The operative fallacy here is that we believe that unconditional love means not seeing anything negative about someone, when it really means pretty much the opposite: loving someone despite their infuriating flaws and essential absurdity...We don’t give other people credit for the same interior complexity we take for granted in ourselves, the same capacity for holding contradictory feelings in balance, for complexly alloyed affections, for bottomless generosity of heart and petty, capricious malice... if we want the rewards of being loved we have to submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known." - Tim Kreider for the New York Times
