Summary: Stiles hates Halloween. He hates Halloween for a lot of reasons, but the most immediate issue is the zombies that have him trapped up a tree. Of course there are zombies in Beacon Hills. It’s not like the anniversary of his mom’s death is hard enough without wondering if she’s risen from her grave.
Author's Note: Written for zombiebang. This is hopefully the first of many stories based around holidays in Beacon Hills and how Stiles and Derek's relationship develops around them.
Author's Note 2: Thanks to crazyfoolstiney for the great art and thanks to somehowunbroken and jesseofthenorth for betaing!
