Title: In Every Moment, A Choice Exists

Author: Wereleopard58

Rating: T/Teen and up audiences

Show: Teen Wolf/The Originals/Legacies

Pairing: Derek/Stiles, Geralt/Jaskier, Slash,

Warning: For all of Teen Wolf, The Originals and Legacies. It's somewhat AU, especially from TO and Legacies. Everybody lives (yes, I see the 9th Doctor every time)

Summary: The trip to New Orleans is just for fun. Scott has to get a treaty with Niklaus Mikaelson. Stiles has to let others outside his pack know he is part royal Fae. His intention was to leave Scott and his treaty alone, but things didn't go according to plan.

A/N Queen Titania is a mixture of characters and ideas. A storyline in TO will be Fae magic instead of what happens. Now I have anti-Scott as I don't like the character, and this is how I see him. I have no idea if I will ever do a great friend Scott. We'll see.

2nd May 2025.  I have started to update stories and re-editing some of the earlier chapters. I will be doing that with those that have already been written. I will also add things into these chapters.  I will alter this when it's done.

"Scott, when you go to New Orleans, there is something important for you to do."

"No problem. What is it?" No matter what it was, it would be easy for him.

"I have called ahead, and you are meeting with Niklaus Mikaelson. Having a treaty with his family will show everyone how powerful we are. No one would want to oppose us after this."

"I'm a true alpha; he'd been honoured to have a treaty with me." He paused. "Why would anyone want to go against me?"

"Scott, listen to me–."

"Don't worry about it, Dr Deaton. I've got it handled. I know what I'm doing. Let's go." He called out to the others, took Allison's hand and left the office.

"I'll be there and do what I can to make things go smoothly," Chris offered.

"Your sister and father will be there too. We have to show how strong we are."

"Oh, that makes things so much better." He knew with his family being surrounded by supernatural and magic users, it would be a nightmare.

Chris hoped that he and Allison could walk out alive. Scott and the rest of his family would push whoever they could to get what they wanted. This trip might be the thing that bites them in the ass.

"I wish you and dad could come with us," Stiles leaned over and kissed Derek softly.

"Your dad has to work. You all need to have fun. If Noah needs more aid than Jordan, I'm here. If any of you get into trouble, we'll know." Derek grinned at him.

"We would not," Stiles exaggerated his gasp of shock.

"It's you three," Derek didn't think he needed to say anymore.

"I need to thank Grandma for that link we have. I am glad it means we can trust each other completely." He stopped and looked at Jackson, who smirked in return. "I never thought I say that about you, Jacks."

"I didn't think I'd end up here either. There was no way I was going to follow Scott. He doesn't even want to learn about what he is and the world he now lives in," Jackson looked at the others, Derek, Stiles, Lydia and Danny. There was also Noah and Jordan. "We are the Hale Pack."

"Hell yes," Danny yelled out.

Lydia looked over at Stiles and smiled. They became close friends once he'd gotten over his crush and fell head over heels in love with their broody alpha. Stiles' best buddie turned out to be Jackson. Who knew that would happen? After learning what Gerard had done to Stiles, Erica, and Boyd, she was horrified and wanted nothing to do with them.

The only good thing was it had released Stiles' Fae side. If only it could've happened in another way, any other way than torture. She knew the three werewolves had gone with Scott only because he had left them alone. They thought it was unfair Derek had pushed them. Being lazy got you nowhere, in the supernatural world it could get you killed.

Derek may not have been great at the start. All he needed was support, and he had that now with them. They sat and discussed everything. It had all improved, including training, and they had the Fae helping there too. This is how a pack and a family should be.

Even though he'd been tortured, Stiles still helped her with Jackson, and their genuine love was that of friendship. But paralysing and trying to use Derek against his will made her sick to her stomach.  It did Jackson too.

Lydia was glad Noah and Jordan had turned up when they did. Who knows what would've happened. If the plan to change his medication with a unique blend and magic by Deaton was meant to cure Gerard, well, it worked. Kate was also alive, and Lydia wanted to hurt her so much after what she had done to a still-grieving teenage Derek.

Allison had asked her to join them, but seeing how the Argents really were made meant that she wanted to be as far away from them as possible. Allison looked devastated, but they were a family of murderers and liars. Lydia could never trust anyone in the McCall Pack.

The Hale Pack had worked hard to learn to trust each other. They had spent time in a dimensional hole in the Fae realm. It was a place where time went more slowly. They had a lot longer to learn to trust each other than people thought. The link between them all made her feel safer. Lydia also liked the fact they knew when one of the others needed help.

Stiles still need to learn how to make portals. Life would be so much easier when he did. They could go anywhere, which included family holidays.

She watched as Stiles walked over to the window to stare out. Lydia went to stand by him. "Are you okay?"

"Just a lot going on in my head."

"So tell me, it might help."

"My mom wanted to go to New Orleans." He sighed. "I wish she'd been able to teach me all about Fae magic."

"She bound your magic to protect you."

"I know she did. It proved to be the right thing to do, she died protecting me. Whoever it was who murdered her, I hope they suffer, but to make it look like a human mental illness was incredibly smart. It had to be Deaton." He hated that damn vet.

"Yes, it has to be him.We'll buy her something special, and you can keep it next to her photo."

"Thanks, Lydia that sounds great."

"But–." She smirked at him.

"But?" Stiles knew he was going to regret asking this.

"Can you manage to be away from your smoking hot boyfriend?"

"Hey, I feel like I'm being objectified," Derek called out from behind them.

"Well, she's not wrong, and you are" Jackson replied and winked at him, making Derek laugh.

''No, she is not wrong, at all," Danny added.

"We're all hot, including Noah," Lydia grinned as she sat between Jackson and Danny on the sofa.

"Please don't use the word hot and my dad in the same sentence," Stiles gagged and reached for his cell as soon as it beeped. "Niklaus Mikaelson."

"One of the Originals," Derek answered. "What about him?"

"Scott sent me a text saying we might as well not go as he is getting a treaty with him and his family."

"We're taking a trip, for fun. Scott was the one that decided to follow us as he thought we were up to something.  Wait, an original what?" Lydia asked.

"They're the original vampires. Niklaus is a vampire-werewolf hybrid. One of a kind. They're ancient and powerful." Derek explained.

"Should we try to get a treaty?" Danny looked at the others.

"No, knowing Scott, he's going to make mistakes. Just be respectful. We definitely don't want any of them as enemies. We're still building the pack house and working on treaties around here. Treaties should be a sign of respect. That's what I believe. Hopefully, in the future, that can happen." Derek wanted to grow the Hale Pack slowly. He wanted to work with others and earn their respect. He was tired of people lying to force others to join out of fear. Things like that would never last.

"Scott is an idiot for telling us, though," Lydia laughed.

"Scott is just an idiot," Jackson couldn't help but add.

Stiles would've once stood up for his friend, but Scott showed him that they really never were. Stiles had been a temporary placement until he found someone better.

"Let's not say anything. If we ignore it, Scott might continue to tell us things to prove he's better than us. It means we don't have to spy on them," Stiles went over and joined Derek.

"It didn't take much to make him arrogant, did it?" Danny got on with most people, but Scott McCall's change happened quickly. He acted like he was the best thing ever, and no one knew why the change occurred. There was a rumour of drug use, which Danny had encouraged, just a little bit."

"Enough of him. Derek, honey." Stiles batted his eyelashes.

"What?"

"I'm hungry."

"Derek, honey." The others all called out.

"I'll go and make something." He loved to take care of his pack, and cooking was one of the ways he was able to show it.

"If you told me before that Derek Hale was a god in the kitchen, I would never have believed you." Lydia loved his food. He would make a killing owning a restaurant. But she knew that it was his way of showing he cared.  It might not be the same if he'd changed it into a business 

"We are so lucky he's our alpha. We always get well-fed." Danny rubbed his hands together, just thinking about all that fantastic food.  Trying to ignore thinking about all that extra exercise.  He hated werewolves at times. It wasn't something they worried about.

New Orleans

Stiles had needed some fresh air and time to be alone. Scott had sent text after text. Then, at the hotel, he would not shut up. He had to get out of there; otherwise, the McCall Pack would find out about his Fae heritage, and the sucking up would begin.

He was so glad Derek wasn't here because Scott had brought Gerard and Kate. That was one sick family. Stiles had no idea what Scott was thinking. It was all about Allison.

"Leave me alone." A feminine voice called out in fear.

Stiles was already running towards her. He wasn't going to leave without trying to help. He really hoped she needed help.

"Get away from her, you…" Jackson would have a good laugh at him quoting or almost quoting Ripley. "Leave her alone."

"Or what, are you going to make us." One of the men strutted towards him.

Stiles shook his head in disbelief and held out his hands. His eyes glowed, and the two men hit the wall hard and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

"Thank you…."

He helped her up and placed one of her arms over his shoulder and an arm around her waist.

"Just point me in the right direction."

It took a little time, but they finally reached her home. Well, Stiles guessed it was. He reached up and knocked on the door.

"Hope." The man rushed to her side as soon as he had opened it.

"He saved me. They tried to release the magic."

"Well, I suppose I should thank you for saving my daughter. I'm Klaus Mikaelson."

"Of course you are," Stiles muttered. He planned to avoid Scott's treaty so he would be the first person he met.

"Excuse me?"

"I'm sorry, I will tell you, but we need to get her inside." Stiles paused.

Elijah joined them and watched as this stranger stared into space.

"Who is this?"

"No idea."

Stiles shook his head and blinked. "Sorry about that"

"Come in, but If you hurt my daughter–."

"You'll make me wish I died. The pain will be like nothing I've ever felt before. The horror you will show me with being nothing I can imagine. Sorry, it's not my first time being threatened."

Klaus looked at him and laughed. "I like you. Let's hope it stays that way."

Stiles followed as they settled Hope into her bed.

"What is your name?" She asked.

"Stiles, Stiles Stilinski."

"Your name is Stiles?" Klaus asked.

"It's a nickname. No one could pronounce my actual name."

"Really?" Elijah walked over to him.

"It's ten letters, and only three are vowels, and no, I'm not going to say it."

"So why are you here?" Klaus watched him.

"I'm from Beacon Hills. I'm a part of the Hale Pack. I heard your name from Scott McCall."

"The alpha who wants a treaty with us? So you're not a part of his pack?"

"No, no, I'm not."

"Would you pack like a treaty as a thank you? You did save my daughter."

"I appreciate it, but no, thank you. Derek, our alpha, doesn't like treaties when one owes the other. He wants it to be out of respect."

"He's been betrayed a lot, hasn't he, your alpha? Oh, I'm Elijah. I'm Klaus' brother."

"He has, and it's nice to meet you."

"I also think Derek doesn't think he's worthy, but he is. He's been through a lot but will still go and help when he can."

"What about this treaty with McCall?" Klaus walked back to the lounge and sat down on one of the couches.

Hope had fallen asleep, and so they left her alone. Stiles and Elijah followed him

"What about it?"

"Would you like me to turn it down?"

"It's up to you. You do what's best for your family. Listen to him and decide."

"You are very odd, Stiles," Elijah straightened his suit jacket.

"So I've been told."

"Allow me to drive you to your hotel."

"You drive? I mean, Derek does, so why not."

Elijah laughed. "I enjoy it. I find it relaxing."

It didn't take long before they were at their destination. The others were going to kill him.

"Thank you."

"Stiles, can we please exchange numbers. Your alpha sounds honourable, and I would like to be able to reach you if we decide a treaty is something we want."

"Of course, please let me know how Hope is."

"l will, and thank you for saving her. Not many people here would do that."

"I had to."

The two exchanged numbers, and the vampire watched as Stiles entered the building.

The magic helping Hope was growing weaker. They needed to find something else to help.

Scott McCall should be here soon. They weren't really in the mood, but they would listen. After meeting Stiles, he did a little more research. He had some already after Dr. Deaton called, but now he knew who the Argents were and what Kate did to Derek.

"Are we ready, brother?" Elijah inquired.

"I am. Let's see what this alpha has to say."

XXXXX

Scott and the rest of his pack sat in front of two men. He couldn't see why Deaton wanted this. They didn't look like they were anything special.

"So, Mr McCall–." Klaus started.

"Alpha McCall. I'm a true alpha. I'm rare."

Klaus and Elijah looked at each other and laughed.

"Are you really? "Elijah asks as he pulls at the cuffs of his shirt.

Scott frowned. Were they laughing at him? Deaton wanted them. He would get them to win him

"Yes, I am."

Chris shook his head. Their alpha had no idea who these men were. "Scott."

"I am here to give you some information about your enemies. It proves I am worthy, and a treaty would benefit us. You'll also be able to destroy the Hale Pack. Their alpha isn't here and is hiding from you." His tone was bored. He really didn't want to be here. He and Allison could be out on a date.

The smiles fell from the brothers' faces. Klaus was angry. This boy thought he could play him.

"You know that I am a vampire," Klaus turned to look at the Argents, "and a werewolf?"

"I know."

"You know that I can hear heartbeats and know when people lie like you did. I don't like being treated like a fool." Klaus stood, his voice cold, "from a child who thinks they're more special than they are."

"I'm sorry, I didn't," Scott stuttered. Everything had changed in an instant. He was now terrified of these men.

"Should just pull your tongue from your mouth? I am sure many people will be relieved not to hear you brag ever again. But before I decide if I'm going to do that, let me explain a few things."

Elijah could see that some of them were about to argue. "I wouldn't interrupt my brother. He might just decide to pull you your hearts out, and, of course, I would aid him."

"Thank you, Elijah. Actually, leave. Do your research and find out all the things I have done. You Argent's make think you are scary, but you are just children trying to play at being terrifying. I think I'll need to develop something special for all of you. Go. "Klaus waits until they reach the door. "Oh, enjoy your stay and sleep well." He smiles brightly at them.

The brothers waited until they knew that the McCall Pack had left.

"I think Stiles knew that McCall would shoot himself in the foot." Elijah couldn't believe the arrogance of that boy.

"To a point, I agree, was careful what he said. I do like him."

The two men froze as a scream echoed around the house.

It was Hope.

Stiles sat up. He could feel the power surge. Something had happened. It was from his people, the Fae. It hadn't felt anything this strong before. He tilted his head to the side and listened to his grandmother. Stiles grabbed his cell and dialled.

"Hi, you'll need my help with Hope again. Can you come and pick me up. Okay, that was quick." Elijah had already been on his way to get him. He sent a quick text to the others, letting them know what was going on and that his grandmother had sent him. Stiles dressed and went downstairs to meet the vampire.

Klaus looked up at Stiles as he and his brother walked in. Rebekah and Freya were next to Hope's bed. Both hold a hand tightly and try to show support.

"You said you can help my daughter?"

"Yes, before I arrived here in New Orleans. I wasn't going to tell you about my heritage. But keeping quiet is not worth someone's life."

"You know above the magic contained within Hope?" Freya asked. No one had managed to figure it out. She had looked into it and also had contacts checking into it as well.

"It's Fae. Magic users try to control it and come. Someone clearly wanted to use Hope. I can't see any of you want to hurt her. Someone wanted to make you all hurt. My grandmother will come and see the safest way to get it out of Hope," Stiles paused. "Uhh, please be polite to her. she has a reputation."

Klaus glanced at his siblings. They all knew what it was like to have a reputation, especially him.

Just then, a portal opened and out walked a woman. She was ethereal. Her power filled not just the room but also everyone's senses. Then if it was like a switch, the energy emanating from her just vanished.

"Stiles, my darling boy." She walked over and hugged him. "Can I rid you of the McCall pack yet? I have plans for those Argents."

"No, Nana. You know Derek would feel guilty."

"Yes, yes, I know. The McCall Pack should be grateful. I adore Derek. He is one of the reasons I am taking an interest in the Argents." She turned to the group and smiled.

"I'd like you to meet my grandmother Queen Titania."

Freya froze, just for a moment, and bowed her head. "Your Majesty, it's an honour."

The others followed her actions and did the same thing.

"Stiles told me about the power. It's within Hope, right?"

"Yes, my daughter," Klaus answered. "I will do anything you ask if you can save her."

Titania smiled at him. "You should be careful who you say that to. Stiles asked me to help, so you are nothing to me." She walked over to the bed.

Rebekah moved to the side so she could reach Hope. The Fae queen touched Hope's forehead. She then glanced over at her grandson.

"I'll warn the others," Stiles pulled his cell out and started to type.

"Your Majesty, may I enquire what is going on?" Elijah asked.

"I can remove the magic. One of my subjects will be here with a box to contain it," Titania explained.

Klaus knew it wasn't going to be that simple. "There's more to it, isn't there?"

"If I took it straight from Hope, it would kill her. We don't want that to happen. Stiles is part human, as well as Fae. He'll take the power into himself. I'll remove it from him and put it into the box."

"I'm not sure I understand?" Rebekah asked.

"Think of it as humans and Fae are on different wavelengths for something this powerful. If Nana takes the magic straight from Hope, nothing wouldn't be left of her. I'm not pure human or Fae, but I am also royalty. So what I do have is exceptional. I'm unique."

"Is it dangerous for you?" Elijah knew that it wasn't going to be easy, but he needed to find out if it was deadly.

"No, not really, "Stiles answered slowly.

"What my grandson is not telling you is that it will be excruciating for him. He will also be weak and vulnerable for a few days."

"Stiles, I..." Klaus looked at the younger man.

"It's the only way," Stiles muttered.

"We'll protect you here while you're vulnerable," Rebekah promised.

"If anyone hurts him, I will make them suffer," Titania smiled sweetly.

Klaus grinned. He really liked her and had heard stories about the
Queen of the Fae and what she had done to her enemies.

"You have our word. Nothing will happen to him," Elijah promised.

"You have warned your pack and muted your link to them?" She asked.

"Yes, and I explained why. I have a group chat open on my phone, and it's unlocked. If someone could keep them updated, it would ease their worry. Some of my pack are here."

"Of course, we will," Freya smiled at him, thankful for everything he and his grandmother were doing. It was a great honour.

"Would one of you stand near Stiles as he will collapse once it's completed."

Elijah walked over to Stiles and stopped. Just then, a portal opened and out stepped a Fae dressed in armour with a box in his hand. As he placed it on the floor, the portal closed.

Stiles moved his hands slowly and in a specific pattern, and everything suddenly seemed muffled.

"It's a sound bubble. No one will hear what is going on here. Let's get going." He wasn't looking forward to this, but as he said, there was no other way.

Klaus watched intently as Stiles took a deep breath and held out his hands. Hope's body arched towards the Fae. Her eyes stared, full of fear and her mouth opened in a silent scream. Suddenly what looked like black smoke left her mouth and made it over to Stiles. As soon as it entered his body, he screamed. It wasn't like anything they'd ever heard before. Queen Titania was pulling it from her grandson's body and pushing it into the box.

Klaus had no idea how long it lasted. He Just stared at his daughter. Then her body collapsed just like a puppet that had its strings cut. He rushed to her side and could see she was breathing. Her body was covered in a sheen of sweat. He glanced over a saw Stiles in Elijah's arms.

"Put him in the room next door?" Klaus told his brother. "Did it work, your Majesty? Will they both be okay?"

"It did. Your daughter is free. I will take it back to my realm and have it locked away."

How was he ever going to pay Stiles back for this? His daughter meant everything to him.

XXXXX

Jackson, Danny and Lydia sat outside and waited for news. They hated not knowing. If Nana had said it was the only way to do it, it was.

Scott walked out with the Argents. He had looked up Klaus. The things he'd done made the true alpha feel sick. He was a monster, someone who didn't care about killing. All Scott needed to do was make him understand that Klaus' reputation would improve by having a treaty with them. After all, everyone knew he had a solid moral code.

Gerard wanted that family on his side. They had power and were utterly ruthless. Klaus was someone who treated others like he did. Anyone who gets in their way he would buy them or make them suffer.

Kate stared out of the window. She wanted to see what he was like in bed. It wouldn't take long before he was under her power.

Chris knew that they were screwed.

"Where's Stiles?" Allison asked.

"Out," Lydia answered.

"He's going to embarrass himself," Scott smirked. "I suppose I'll have to help him."

"What are you talking about, McCall?" Jackson snapped.

"He's clearly gone to talk to Klaus Mikaelson. Once he's spoken to Stiles, he realise how much better my pack is."

The Hale pack glanced at each and burst out laughing.

"You're kidding," Danny still couldn't believe the arrogance of Scott.

The smiles faded from all their faces as they knew what Stiles was going through. Just then, their cells beeped. Lydia sighed and smiled. Stiles was exhausted, but it had worked.

XXXXX

Derek wished he was there to protect his mate. Elijah had sent a text giving his word that everything was fine and he would keep Stiles safe while in his weakened state.

Nana had sent them a mental message saying they could be trusted. He wouldn't relax until he heard Stiles' voice. He knew that Noah felt the same way.

XXXXX

Deaton groaned in frustration as he read the text from Christopher Argent. He seemed that he had built up Scott's ego too much. If he wasn't careful, the originals would kill him. Scott was his plan to get more power, and that boy he changed for the better wasn't going to stop all this hard work.

Christopher had promised to get Allison to talk to her boyfriend. It was the only way to get him to listen. He hated that Scott wouldn't just listen and do as he was told. It wasn't supposed to be this way. Deaton should be the one in charge.

XXXXX

"I must leave as this needs to be locked away for good," Titania nodded toward her soldier.

"Thank you, your majesty. We will keep our promise to look after Stiles.

"I know you will." The portal opened, and the soldier with the box vanished. "By the way, before you became a vampire you had intimate relationships with a woman."

"It was a long time ago," Klaus wasn't sure where this was going.

"She was pregnant with your child."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because if you follow that family line, it will lead you straight to the Hales." Titania smiled at him and vanished into the portal.

"Derek Hale is my descendant."
