More big dumb AUs, ‘cause I make good life decisions or something!! Mostly I just wanted to mess around a bit, though drawing this was kind of pointless and was primarily an excuse for me to ramble??

I reeeeally like superpower AUs, but they rarely have the powers I want Q__Q Anywho, in this, Beacon Hills has an unusually high number of people born with abilities in one place and it’s the best worst kept secret, because everyone there knows, but no one talks about it and it never leaves the county limits. 

Scott has empathic mimicry, but when his abilities first kick in, he’s only able to shuffle through one or two abilities at a time. Stiles has psychometric telepathy because I have a thing about characters who’re covered up a lot having touch-based abilities shhhh, though he limits his ability to just psychometry and communication. Stiles carries an old keychain of Scott’s (as suggested by grimm!) and his dad’s watch, so he can connect to them as needed. He later steals something of Derek’s for the same reason and he’s really not amused by it at all.

They meet Derek when Scott accidentally snags his power without realizing it and freaks out when it activates. All the Hales had abilities but the Argents do not except Allison, who was hiding it from her family, up until Kate finds out.
