Author's Summary: He doesn't know his name, he doesn't know who he is, and neither does the werewolf he's on the run with. But he's pretty sure they hunt monsters, because they seem to be really good at it.

Review:
Stiles regains consciousness in the woods while a werewolf and a witch throw down in front of him. The trick is figuring out which one to help, since Stiles has no memories. Derek doesn't remember either, and with circumstances making them suspect they've been betrayed, they're unwilling to call the unfamiliar names, like Scott and Deaton, in his phone.

As they move from one motel to another tracking a witch, they make assumptions about what their lives used to be and what they meant to one another. That brings them together in a way that's very believable, while still being in character, and it also ramps up the suspense since you know things will get shaken up again if they ever make it back to Beacon Hills.

I love the action, the intimacy that grows between them, the well written sex (guh), the angst that's lightened by some funny moments, and the relationship built on assumptions that they've done all this before.
