The Lives We Lead - Timeline

 The Lives We Lead - Timeline

This is updated through Chapter 28

(This seemed easier than having the timeline on my story since I kept having to update the same part of the story and moving it made it confusing for my readers and messed with their 'story progress' feature. That said, my story is still confusing and needs the timeline to help with the chronological order of the story.)

For the specific years here, I'm basing this off of fandom wiki that says Stiles' birthday is April 8th, 1994. I'm gonna say he's 17 by the time he starts senior year, so that puts the story really starting in 2012. I'm not perfect and there are a lot of inaccuracies in this story. For example high school cross country season is from September to late November typically. I made it from early march until the middle of May.

For my sake, please, just go with it.

Chapter (21) and Chapter (22) → Monday, November 7th, 2011 - Thursday, November 17th, 2011

These two chapters are a throwback to season 3b when Stiles is possessed by the Nogitsune and they are almost entirely told from Ramahilla's POV (though it's still 3rd person POV). Chapter (21) starts on the morning of November 7th with a woman named Nadaviel who we learn is a Protector as well. This is the same morning that Coach Finstock gets shot with the arrow by the Nogitsune and Rama flies to Beacon Hills to see him. Nada, the other Protector, then gets Rama to help her resolve the Nogitsune issue in Beacon Hills. Over the course of the next week and a half, Rama does a lot of things (mostly without any of the Pack knowing) to help them get rid of the Nogitsune. 

Here's a basic list:

* Rama visits Coach (her father) in the hospital

* Rama helps heal Isaac per Nada's request and must then suffer the side effects

* Rama visits Deaton and finds out that Stiles is a Sunyatan. She's pretty pissed about this, mostly because of her father and the danger his is in

* Rama keeps an eye on Stiles while he is in Eichen (which is hard because Eichen is confusing) and when the Nogitsune takes over his body, she confronts it and is the general badass we know and love

* Rama takes care of her father and snoops on the Pack to make sure they are careful. She also gives Deaton some advice

* Rama confronts Peter and explains how they can get the Nogitsune out of Stiles without killing them both. Afterwards, she makes him forget that they ever met

* Rama helps her dad keep Meredith from the orderlies and has an interesting conversation with Danny

* Rama goes and tells Allison how silver can kill the Oni. Then she gives the girl some heart-felt advice

* Rama has some righteous fury burning in her when Allison dies. Needless to say, the Nogitsune is in some deep shit with Rama after that

* Rama bends the rule and uses the fact that Stiles is a Sunyatan to reveal the Nogitsune's illusions. The Nogitsune is beat as a result

* Rama goes home and is a mess of feelings she doesn't want. She also rues the day she has to deal with Stiles again

Chapter (16) It's A Normal Chapter... Except It's Not → Sunday, December 25th, 2012

In this chapter, we meet Ollie (aka Newt) and his family, including his soon-to-be-brother-in-law, Hiro (aka Minho). This chapter was really just a slice of life that I desperately wanted to include. This chapter actually occurs before Stiles ever returns to earth 618, since its during Christmas and all that jazz.

Chapter (1) through to almost the end of Chapter (7) → Thursday, March 15th, 2013

This is when Stiles returns and they all showdown with the Ghost Riders. At the very end, Stiles and the others are all magically transported into their history class. Originally, that's supposed to be the last day of school but I totally wasn't having that so I made that just the next day, March 16th.

Chapter (8) to Chapter (9) --> Friday, March 16th, 2013

Like I said above, this is the day after they got the Ghost Riders. After leaving the school, Stiles gets home and finds Ramahilla's note. That night, we went and told the pack about everything that had happened to him.

Chapter (10) and Chapter (11) --> Monday, March 19th, 2013

This is three days after Stiles gets back and he has fun in class. Also, he joins cross country (which I know is seasonally inaccurate but I'm not about to change it; please have mercy on my non-athletic soul).

Chapter (12) --> Tuesday, March 20th, 2013

Stiles has the dream where he sees Teresa. I don't know about y'all, but I cried while writing that scene (though judging by the mass consensus that everyone hates Teresa, I'm guessing no).

Chapter (13) --> Tuesday, March 20th, 2012 - Thursday, May 3rd, 2013

A lot happens here. Here are the basics;

Stiles processes the dream and talks to Scott. Then, over the following weeks, he excels in school and cross country. At the same time, he annoys Mason's family by eating all their food and hanging around while building the website. He also gets accepted into the FBI program and then got the email from Chuck.

Chapter (14) & Chapter (17) --> Monday, May 7th, 2013

We have a look into Teresa's life as Abbie Simon. Then I resurrected Isaac (so exciting!) and made them friends (because I could). Then He shows up at her house all beat up and she fixes him up. He tells her she isn't human and she investigates what little information she has on her family. This all happens before the Cross country tournament, which happens that following Friday.

Chapter (19) —> Monday, May 7th, 2013

Brief slice of life in Beacon Hills. Coach does some coaching and gets a call from his daughter. Later on, the cross country kids get locked out of the school and Stiles comes to the rescue. I just thought I'd add a piece showing that everyone is baffled by this new Stiles who never seemed possible to begin with.

Chapter (18) --> Tuesday, May 8th, 2013

This is just maybe an hour after Abbie (aka Teresa) heals Isaac, but its after midnight so it's technically the next day. She just went through her old documents and found out about her aunt. Abbie and Isaac book a flight to Oregon to go talk to her aunt. After packing her stuff, they go to Isaac's apartment where Abbie gets his passport and other essentials and encounters his hunter-landlords. Abbie is a badass and gets them to back off, while also revealing just how much she hates herself. It's sad ):

Chapter (20) → Tuesday, May 8th, 2013

Abbie and Isaac take the plane to Oregon and confront her aunt. They find out a lot of things, including that Abbie is the descendant of a fox spirit (Aunt says kitsune, but we later find out that is false because she is the descendant of a Chinese fox spirit), and that her mother's side of the family is full of werewolves--specifically the Hales. So they need to go to Beacon Hills! Yay!

Chapter (23)  → Wednesday, May 9th, 2013

Abbie and Isaac take a bus to Beacon Hills. They talk some, they pass a Cross Country competition and Abbie gets a funny feeling (hint, hint: Stiles is at that Cross Country meet). They get to Beacon Hills and go to Scott's house. Melissa is a wonderful person. Abbie feels nostalgic. Scott gets home and they need to have a serious chat.

Chapter (24) & Chapter (25) → Wednesday, May 9th, 2013 - Friday, May 11th, 2013

Wednesday night, Isaac and Abbie talk about the situation with Scott, though they don't mention anything about Abbie being a Sunyatan. Abbie and Isaac also get interrogated about their relationship and everyone thinks they should be dating. Neither are amused. Abbie and Isaac have some heart-felt conversations and he says that he believes her about Sunyata and everything else.

A lot of other things happen on Thursday, too:

* they visit the sheriff and everyone thinks she and Stiles would get along (I agree)

* they visit with Argent briefly.

* they visit Peter. (check out the end of chapter (24) for that information about her family)

* they get food with Scott, Lydia, and Malia

* Abbie meets with Mrs. Yukimura. There's a lot of information here about Huli Jing and Abbie's great grandma, so please reference Chapter (25) for that information

Then Abbie goes home and Isaac agrees to track down Derek who no one has heard from in a couple months.

Abbie leaves Beacon Hills early Friday morning, while Stiles returns to Beacon Hills from the Cross Country meet late that afternoon. They miss each other by less than half a day ):

Chapter (26) --> Friday, May 11th, 2013

Abbie gets home from Beacon Hills and then Rama appears in her kitchen and gives her the contact information for a therapist that she could trust and tell the truth. Afterwards, Abbie email that therapist. Then her parents get home and she has to talk through the fact that she wants to switch to a different therapist. They agree and then Abbie has another conversation with her father about graduation and also Isaac. It's kind of funny. Some important things happen in this chapter, but it's mostly filler.

Chapter (15) --> Thursday, May 3rd, 2013 & Friday, May 11th, 2013

Back to that email he got from Chuck; they Skyped (and I cried like a baby while writing). Then the story skips to the end of the following week when Stiles is at the cross country meet and he sees Ben from the Glade (who is a werewolf). Then he sees Ramahilla at Coach's house.

Between these two events lies all the chapters with Abbie/Teresa in them and when she goes to Beacon Hills. That's why I put this chapter after those ones, even though Stiles talked to Chuck before we even look into her life.

Chapter (27) --> Friday, May 3rd, 2013 & Monday, May 6th, 2013

The chapter starts from Rama's pov, immediately after she teleports from Abbie's house to her father's house (Coach's house). She expresses dread and guilt in having to see Stiles. She also thinks about Jackson, another student who had dinner with her and Coach in the past (and she put Jackson 'The Little Shit' Whitmore in his place). Stiles arrives and he accuses Rama, also called Renee, of brain washing Coach. She gets pissed at that, but mostly, she enjoys annoying him.

It switches to Stiles' pov for the dinner. Stiles and Rama sit there awkwardly. Coach is completely unfazed and oblivious. Stiles proceeds to find out a few things:

* Coach talks about her 'government' job and Stiles doesn't buy it at all

* Rama has three half brothers (triplets) that look a lot like her but they are not Protectors

* being a Protector is passed down from parent (her mom) to child (her) and sometimes it doesn't work

* one of her brothers, Roland, is married to a woman named Nekesa who is a Clinical Psychologist

* Stiles realizes that Rama hated him because he got her father shot in the chest with an arrow

After dinner, Stiles tries to apologize for everything and she apologizes for not treating him well. She tells him she can't share anything about the other Sunyatans because of the rules. She also reveals how involved she was in getting rid of the Nogitsune the year prior. She explains that time is weird for Sunyatans. 

Three days later (Monday), Stiles gets updated about Isaac was in town with some girl named Abbie (he's still oblivious) and all that. He gets a social media notification and it's Rama requesting to be friends with him. He sees her page and finds pictures of Sonya, Newt, And Minho.

Chapter (28) --> Thurday, May 9th, 2013 & Friday, May 17th, 2013 & Saturday, May 25th, 2013 & Sunday, June 2nd, 2013 & Monday, June 3rd, 2013

This chapter was complicated to put on the timeline since it takes place over a period of almost a full month. Here is it by day:

Thurday, May 9th, 2013: Stiles is contacting as many people that know Newt and Minho as possible in order to get in contact with them. Minho is out of reach because he is on his honeymoon. Newt is out of reach because his wife just had her second child. He finally gets one person willing to pass a message on to Newt. This person takes forever to actually pass on the message.

Friday, May 17th, 2013: After a week of painful waiting, Newt calls Stiles and they talk and Newt reminds Stiles it isn't his fault that Newt had died.

Saturday, May 25th, 2013: Stiles and the others (Lydia, Scott, technically not Malia but they let her participate in the ceremony anyways) all graduate. It's a happy occasion.

Sunday, June 2nd, 2013: Everyone is celebrating Liam's birthday and Stiles gets a call from Newt. Minho and Sonya (technically just Jessica) were in a car crash and then Jessica was bit by a wild animal. Stiles and Scott immediately assume the worst and hightail it to Pennsylvania where they're in the hospital.

Monday, June 3rd, 2013: Scott and Stiles meet Newt, Marigold, and Minho at the hospital. Minho and Stiles reunite and Jessica is still unconscious but the doctors are perplexed because she her wounds disappeared. 

Ramahilla shows up and they all realize Jessica is a Sunyatan and therefore Sonya. While Newt, Minho, and Marigold go see a newly returned Jess/Sonya, Rama chats with Stiles and Scott about what happened and why Jess became a werewolf. Scott agrees to stay with Stiles in Pennsylvania until the full moon to help Jess.
