Adaptations
is a crossover fanfic series between The Sentinel, Teen Wolf and Stargate Atlantis, written on Archive of Our Own by notenuffcaffeine.
Courtesy of SG-1 having a little oops, the timeline gets wonky, and now there's Sentinels, Guides and werewolves wandering around Atlantis and two different galaxies. What could possibly go wrong?
Absolutely everything, of course.
Tropes you can find in the story
- Adaptational Badass: Sheppard and Stiles are Sentinels in this verse, with Ronon as the Pegasus equivalent. Daniel also gets the bite and turns in a werewolf in the third installment.
- Adapted Out:
Word of God is that the timeline being rewritten axed any possibilities for Daniel to Ascend. - Adults Are Useless: Zigzagged — everybody above twenty years old in Beacon Hills has completely failed Stiles, thinking him a junkie basketcase or torturing him to get at Scott, but people from Atlantis are very much supportive and protective towards the kid.
- Big Brother Instinct: Stiles quickly pegs one of his foster fathers as having an unhealthy interest in little girls and spends his nights standing watch over his foster siblings' door.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: The Daturan colony first appears as a highly civilized if conservative place, but they flat-out drag Sheppard's team to a Penal Colony and cheerfully lies about their whereabouts when Atlantis inquires about them.
- Department of Child Disservices: Social Services immediately assume Stiles is a junkie when the hospital finds ketamine in his system — when the hunters actually drugged him — and drag him to several foster homes he obviously dislikes and considers unsafe, with their latest choice being the Argents.
- Family of Choice: Ellison, Blair, Rodney, Sheppard, Ronon, Teyla, Derek and Stiles stumble headfirst into being a tribe, and they wouldn't have it any other way.
- For Want Of A Nail: Since SG-1 was grounded after the realization they messed up the timeline, Atlantis was discovered four years later than canon. It allows for the show's events to happen at the same time as the whole mess in Beacon Hills.
- I'm Taking Her Home with Me!: For all his extremely vocal dislike of kids, Rodney nonetheless grows protective of Stiles barely a few minutes after the boy first stumbled upon him and Blair roaming in the woods and insists to bring him somewhere safe.
- Minor Living Alone: Stiles insists he doesn't need supervision, but the Social Services are bent on keeping him in a foster home until he's eighteen.
- Mistaken for Related: The Genii decide to kidnap Stiles on the assumption that the teen is Sheppard's son. Even with the misunderstanding cleared, they refuse to release him as he nonetheless has the ATA gene.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero:
- SG-1 accidentally rewrote the timeline when they came back from their trip in the sixties. Sheppard is not impressed when he hears them discussing the event.
- Scott trying to ally with the Argent family causes Noah Stilinski to be declared dead, driving Stiles to cut all bridges with him. Worse, he attempted to save the Sheriff by biting him and turning him in a werewolf, but let him at Deucalion's mercy — cue Stiles being even less motivated to forgive him after learning that.
- Our Banshees Are Louder: In this story, a Banshee is a woman who inherited the genetic sequence for a Sentinel to happen, but expresses it quite differently — her scream amplifies her ability to hear, and her seeing ghosts is her perceiving spectrum beyond the human senses.
- Papa Wolf: Almost literally for Noah Stilinski after being turned — Derek bluntly admits the man would disobey an Alpha's command to attack Stiles out of sheer willpower, and later agrees to entrust his son to the military as they will take Stiles away from Beacon Hills.
- Penal Colony: Datura loves sending their dissidents to slave in the mines, on another planet. When Sheppard's team is submitted to this fate, they trigger a rebellion to escape.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After a nightmarish year stuck in the Argent home, under threat to be tortured as leverage against his former best friend who was responsible for his dad not being there anymore and refusing to apologize for this, Stiles outright leaves for another galaxy in order to put as much distance as possible between him and Beacon Hills.
- Take a Third Option: Stiles doesn't want to reconcile with Scott as his former best friend refuses to understand he fucked up bad, and he doesn't want to live under the same roof as Gerard Argent — so he will take his chances with the military and Sentinel Project, and leave Beacon Hills entirely.
- Trauma Conga Line: Stiles gets abducted and tortured as leverage against Scott. After escaping, he learns Scott's attempt to help caused his dad to be declared dead, leaving him alone and at the mercy of the Social Services that swiftly force him into several foster families he hates, the latest being the Argents. Then he gets abducted again, learns his dad actually is alive but was turned by Scott and now enthralled to Deucalion's will, and he starts developing enhanced senses guaranteed to make his life much harder if he doesn't control them. Really, it's not a surprise for him to stick with Sheppard and company, they're the first adults to genuinely help him in a year.
- We Used to Be Friends: Scott doesn't get that Stiles isn't interest in calling his best friend someone who was responsible for basically orphaning him, and stubbornly rejecting the possibility of offering an apology for the deed.
- Woman Scorned: The current Director to the Sentinel Project was married to a Sentinel, but she wasn't his Guide. She made the Program extremely restrictive as a consequence and tends to be politely nasty towards Sheppard and Ellison when she interacts with them.
