fricksterek:colethewolf:burnitallclean:This is right after Stiles has just gone off on Derek. Derek was probably already blaming himself for not seeing what Jennifer was and being manipulated all over again. Now Stiles dad is missing. Stiles might become an orphan because of this woman. I don’t think Derek would be able to take the guilt of that. Stiles is hurt and scared and desperate. Derek can probably smell and hear it just as clear as he can see it on Stiles face and the tears in his eyes. Derek’s already feeling like shit over it. Then Jennifer actually shows up and starts talking and it’s like rubbing salt in an already gaping wound. I imagine when she says “I can tell you where Sheriff Stilinski is.” how the camera goes from Derek to Stiles face… I imagine in that second Derek can hear Stiles stop breathing, his heart stuttering to a stop, and Derek loses it.This is Derek Hale going after Jennifer, not just for what she did to him, but for what she has done to Stiles. She’s hurting Stiles. She’s threatening to take away the last person in Stiles’ life. Jennifer is purposely dangling Sheriff Stilinski’s life over Stiles’ head, taunting him, making it known that she can take him away whenever she wants. And Derek sees that. He sees what she’s doing to Stiles, and how it’s deeply affecting Stiles. Derek was the one who opened up to Jennifer. He told her that everyone around him always got hurt, and now she’s purposely playing on that. Now she’s trying to hurt Stiles. Which, I know, Stiles isn’t exactly the closest to Derek. But he is definitely somebody that’s around Derek. He’s somebody that Derek does have ties to. And now she’s threatening to hurt him too. I kind of see this as Derek fighting for Stiles. Standing up for Stiles. Protecting Stiles. Trying to keep Stiles’ life from completely falling apart, much like his own. If Jennifer kills Sheriff, Stiles will be completely alone…just like Derek. I think Derek is trying to prevent that. Plus, honestly, I think Derek and Stiles, at least, knew that she was bullshitting them. Because Stiles knows it won’t be that easy, and Derek’s not going to trust her after what she’s done. So this is Derek going after Jennifer, throwing a table so Stiles will effectively be pushed back, therefore away, from the possible fray, and trying to end this- so that she can’t kill Stiles’ father. No matter what.And this is Stiles- stepping back even before Derek throws the table, letting him do what he needs to do- because Stiles knows. Oh how he knows that Jennifer’s a bitch (and a lying one), who’s trying to play him, and therefore Derek, like a game. But Stiles steps back and let’s Derek go after Jennifer- because Stiles knows.If this isn’t trust, then I have no clue what trust is. -- source link
