LadyX wrote: Derek hallucinating about Stiles in that moment was inspired, per Jeff, by 'An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge' by Ambrose Bierce. That is a short story about a man who was being hung escaping and traveling to his wife and child, only to find out at the end the whole section was him hallucinating right before he died. You just try and tell me that a man who hallucinates going home as he's dying as a source for a sterek scene means nothing.

As for saving Stiles because his family were the protectors of BH. Well, as I said. Every single other things the town needed protecting from had him going "kill it, kill it now. Kill it dead." He didn't abandon the mantra until Stiles came along as the baddie.

Like I said, it's a culmination of scenes and their chemistry in them, that was just an example. Want another?

Let's go with the pool scene in s2. Here we have Derek, again, protecting Stiles by telling him to run and shoving him away. Derek gets paralyzed. Instead of doing the thing Stiles had just been talking about recently, just let him die, Continue running away, Stiles drags 200 or so pounds of deadweight werewolf to the pool and treads water with him for hours. He drops him once to grab the phone and try and call Scott, who doesn't pick up. Instead of doing the self preservative thing and running, he again jumps in the pool and pulls Derek up. Even when Stiles was finally at the end of his rope, what did he do? He swam them over to the handle things (I assume they were steps?) Put Derek's hands on the handle as Stiles was sinking. Are you serious??
