Hey there! I'm Madaline and, maybe I'm the only one, but I feel like Scott never gets enough love on this site. I'm here to change that. While I love all the wonderful characters on Teen Wolf, Scott has been my favorite since the start. Since I am a lover of all things hurt/comfort related, that is what my stories will focus on. I don't write slash, but only because I like to stay as close to what I feel is cannon as possible. If ya'll like what you're reading, let me know! Wanna see something on here? I'm open to suggestions. This will be a collection of one shots, probably with a lot of episode tags. I hope you all enjoy!

Summary: This is a tag to 3x17 ("Silverfinger") Just my thoughts on what the aftermath of Scott's encounter with Oni was like.

Those eyes. That searing, soul penetrating gaze. It felt as if the breath had been stolen right from his lungs. As the Oni's stare bore into him, Scott felt a coldness grip him, seizing his body in its grip. When it had seen all it had come for, the Oni left him with a fast flick of its finger behind his ear before dissolving into blackness. Before he could register what had happened, the floor was rushing up to meet him. Sounds around him were muted, something he hadn't experienced since the bite. He was paralyzingly weak. With what little strength he had, Scott dragged a shaking hand up to his head and felt the tender skin behind his ear where the Oni had left its mark.

"Scott!" A voice called from a million miles away. He was freezing, getting colder every second, and yet he couldn't summon the energy to shiver. His thoughts drifted to Kira. He hoped she was okay.

"You're gonna be okay." The voice said. It was closer now, but still soft, as if he was underwater. "Scott. Scott, look at me. You need to breathe." Sluggishly, Scott's brain realized that the voice belonged to Derek. Strange, he thought. Why would Derek be telling him to breathe?

"Derek, he's freezing." Another voice commented. Each word was laced with barely suppressed panic. Ethan, his brain supplied. Or, maybe, Aiden? He could never tell.

"I know. We need to trigger the healing process. Aiden, help me hold him down. This is gonna hurt him. Ethan, make sure you get her warm. Whatever you have to do." Scott listened to Derek's words with a sort of detached interest. Trigger the healing process? He didn't understand what –

Pain. It exploded in his arm and spread like fire. He gasped in rasping breaths, feeling his claws emerge. White noise droned in his ear so loud that it nearly drowned out all other sounds. He continued to draw in shallow, ragged breaths, reminding him of all of those asthma attacks a lifetime ago. Stiles had always been there to help him through…

"Scott, just breathe. Nice and slow. Can you do that for me?" Derek's voice broke through the noise, grounding him. Slowly, Scott felt himself come back. Still panting, he groggily opened his eyes to reveal the fuzzy outlines of Derek and Aiden. Derek had a steadying hand on Scott's chest.

"Kira…" he breathed, too exhausted for a full sentence. Derek understood the unspoken question.

"She's okay. Ethan's taking care of her, but it looks like she'll be just fine. What about you? The Oni held you longer than they did the others."

"C-cold." Scott whispered. Now that his arm was healing, he became aware of the violent shivers that were beginning to take hold. Derek nodded, his eyes concerned.

"Go get a blanket." He instructed Aiden. When they were alone, he pulled Scott close, wrapping his arms around him. "You'll be okay. I felt like this after they did this to me too. It'll just take a while for your body to adjust." Derek assured him softly. Scott nodded.

"M-my dad?"

"He's alive. The wound's bad, but he'll be okay. His heartbeat is strong." Scott nodded again and sunk into Derek a bit more. He was exhausted beyond words. Dimly, he was aware of strong hands wrapping something soft around his shoulders.

"Derek?"

"Yeah?"

"Thank you."

"Your fight is my fight, Scott."

Not much, but just a little extra that I would like to have seen. You may notice that I change small details of the episodes to fit my story. I just think it helps make it more dramatic :)
