Hey, come on now. Let's be perfectly fair and admit they've shared plenty of screen time, even if that wasn't true in season 1 when people started shipping it for why-the-hell-not reasons. It really is an ensemble show.

[elaminator]

Well, I wouldn't say they share plenty of screentime (compared to Allison and Scott, and now Allison and Issac, etc), but tbh most of Derek's time is with Scott or Peter, or (for a while, anyway) his pack, so he really has had more screentime with Stiles than a lot of the other cast members.

Plus, you know that characters don't have to have tons of screentime together (or any, for that matter) for people to ship them. If people like the dynamic (or even like the IDEA of the dynamic) they'll ship it.

Oh, I know. :) I'm ex-Avengers fandom, though, so I question when people are like "but they barely interact!" for pairings in other fandoms after watching Clint/Coulson blow up. People just need to stop complaining about whether or not ships have enough screen time to be warranted.

[elaminator]

Clint/Coulson was exactly the pairing I was thinking of when I made the comment. I don't ship them but frankly it doesn't matter if I do, just that people are having fun; their shipping isn't hurting me. (Though I DO ship Sterek and find the "but they barely interact" reasoning hilarious as well. Even if they didn't have as much screentime together, Teen Wolf is known for its rushed romances; that probably wouldn't even be an issue for THE SHOW ITSELF.)

Well, there is a fair amount of implied interaction, even if it's not onscreen.

S1E04 Magic Bullet - Stiles was driving Derek around and then they were at the vet's office from the end of school until Scott had finished the most awkward dinner ever.

S2E04 Abomination - Pool. Enough said.

S2E10 Fury - Paralyzed together in the Sheriff's office.

S3E01 Tattoo - However long Scott was out of it.

But really, there are a lot of in media res beginnings to scenes and quite a few cut to transitions that could imply a lot more interaction between any number of the characters, so really I could see anyone taking those things and running with them in the context of shipping pretty much whichever couple (or threesome) they wanted.

Re: Well, there is a fair amount of implied interaction, even if it's not onscreen.

[elaminator]

Yea, that is very true and you make a good point. I'm sure those two have run across each other more often than we see on screen; probably most of the cast does. You won't see me arguing against it because I ship them and have shipped other pairings for less.

Plus in season... Two, I think, Derek was hiding out in Stiles' bedroom? Not sure for how long, but it isn't like they never spend time together. And the pool scene alone was three hours... That's a lot of time to wait in silence.

I can't believe I forgot Wolf's Bane (S1E09).

[(Anonymous)]

And that had some of their best interaction, too.

As to the pool scene, I am pretty sure Stiles either babbled or traded sarcastic barbs with Derek up until he got too tired. Stiles is not good with silence, even when he's trying to give someone the silent treatment (he lasted, what, all of thirty seconds when he was mad at Scott when his dad got hurt).

Re: I can't believe I forgot Wolf's Bane (S1E09).

[elaminator]

Oh, season one... Clearly this means I need to watch the show again.

But yes, Stiles isn't good at keeping silent and since Derek was in no position to shut him up, I'm sure he had fun with it. Derek probably knows Stiles better than he ever intended if only because Stiles just wouldn't shut up. Plus the other times they've saved each other...

And I know their scenes haven't been long in season 3, but they have been good; they seem to trust each other now (Derek believed Stiles about Jennifer, Stiles listened to Derek in the hospital scene where he picked up the paddles) and have a less hostile air about their interactions now. (That Big Ol' Fist scene was almost playful for Derek.)

I actually liked the pairing in S1. It was when fandom started claiming how it was so canon or that it was going to be canon and just. kept. pushing. and then shitting over Scott that I bailed. So basically, I hate Sterek.
