Summary:

Derek was never what Laura would call exuberant—no, that was strictly Laura’s territory. But after the fire, Derek withdrew completely, shutting himself off from the world. For the first week, he wouldn’t speak at all. Months after, Laura was lucky if she could get him to say a few words a day.

It had been a long six years to get Derek to where he was now, socially (mentally, really, if Laura was going to be honest with herself). But she had a feeling Derek was never going to be quite the same happy kid who loved playing sports, pulling pranks on his younger siblings, and sneaking out at night to hang with his friends.

That’s okay, Laura told herself. She was just happy that he was here by her side.

Laura gets a letter that sends her back home to Beacon Hills, Derek in tow, to investigate the deaths of her family. The mystery runs a lot deeper than she expected.

This is a wonderful AU, I love the way Laura is written--too often, when she's in a fic, she's the manic pixie girl to get Derek and Stiles together.  This is just perfect, and I wish there was a sequel!  It's interesting to see the ways that Derek's presence changes things in canon--and not just the fact that Laura survives, but other things, as well.
