You don't have to read the full introduction, if you want to skip to the first chapter, go ahead but before you do I want you to understand that this fic is effectively abandoned. I started writing this in the first half of Season 3 of Teen Wolf so Kira isn't around and I had a different idea of what happened with the Nemeton and what happened with Scott, Allison and Stiles went on their vision quest. The short version is that my dissatisfaction with where Glee went in the latter half of the fourth season all the way through the fifth season affected my writing. I lost my inspiration and any drive about this fandom. Season six effectively killed it.

I'm posting this because I worked hard at it and I want to share it but any requests to continue this will be ignored. You can go ahead and make the request, I'll just ignore it. If you want to continue it, go right ahead but please send me a link so I can read it and see what you did with it.

Okay if you want to go and read, you can go ahead. The rest of the introduction is basically why I went where I did with the Teen Wolf lore, a basic overview of the aswang and a few other odds and ends. So if you aren't interested in that you can just go on ahead.

I started writing this right after the hiatus of Season 3 of Teen Wolf. So Ethan and Aidan were around, the woman who would be known as Braeden is deceased (because as far as I could tell, she was killed), Allison hasn't snuffed it, Kira and Malia haven't been introduced yet and I was in the throes of Scissac. This fic, though, was supposedly a Scott/Blaine story but I made the mistake of including Sam (it was just supposed to be Blaine and Cooper) and, well, Sam refused to let Blaine go. So that didn't happen.

I wasn't confident in writing Stiles' brand of humor so I wrote him out of the story. I also loathed Derek so when the story had him and Cora leave, I just let them. I always thought that Stiles would become the Giles/Willow to Scott's Buffy so in my story he's being prepped to be the Emissary of Beacon Hills but Marin rightly argued that Stiles would not have the objectivity to be able to stand up to Scott, so Deaton suggests that Stiles be Scott's pack's Emissary, which he will train and Marin can train another Emissary who will oversee the Nemeton and be the druid for Beacon Hills, she chooses Danny.

I was going to change this and make Danny Scott's Emissary because after seeing succeeding seasons of Teen Wolf, it's shown that Stiles would definitely stand up to Scott and is a forceful character in his own right. But that is water under the bridge. Moot point.

I also didn't want Scott's pack to be too strong so I had to remove the twins as well, so to atone for their misdeeds (Braeden's, Boyd's and Erica's deaths, as well as countless others) I sent them on a vision quest with Marin and Stiles, the reasoning of which is explained in the story. So the vision quest thing is to keep them out of my hair and not make Scott's pack incredibly powerful but they can serve as cavalry when I needed them in the story.

As for the Glee side of things, yes, there are characters who are definitely dead. The status of the rest are unknown, except for the ones mentioned in the story, I actually hadn't made up my mind which Glee character survives.

The aswang is a Philippine monster. The aswang mentioned in this story is what the Teen Wolf werewolves are to what werewolves are in legend and story. It's been comic-ised and streamlined for TV audiences. Depending on the region in the Philippines, aswangs can mean different kinds of creatures. What I did was borrow (re: steal) ideas from the White Wolf games (V:TM and V:TR) and made the different clans of aswangs I made up into the different Filipino monsters (the manananggal and tik-tik for example). Don't take my notes on the aswang as what they are in Philippine myth and legends, mine have been heavily edited.

Finally, this has not been beta-ed and I really couldn't get my tenses and verbs to agree so I apologize. This is the fourth version of the draft before I gave up. I wanted to bring down the exposition by a lot but I was not able to so in the middle bit is a lot of world-building and TALKING. It was this bit that delayed the writing, I couldn't cut it down and then Glee let me down and I just never been able to continue.

There are actually 12 chapters, chapter 1 and 14 are the introduction and afterword.
