Guys the Chris Argent School for Werewolves Who Can’t Werewolf Good is real.
brought to you by snow and jojo and amazonziti
- I want “A day in the life of Chris Argent” in which he does all manner of mundane things in a VERY THREATENING MANNER. Laundry. Dishes. Cooking. Window. Vacuuming. Knitting. Painting. Gardening. Baking. Sleeping. Watching TV.
- chris woke up to the sound of his alarm blaring an obnoxious pop song. he glared at it, but no avail. in the end, he was forced to shoot it, as per The Code.
- Chris had teen angst because he grew up in a household of hunters that don’t love The Code as much as he does. No one understands his bond with The Code. For him The Code is widely under-appreciated.
- chris transcribed The Code into a book so that he could cradle it lovingly late at night
- Chris just wants to love the Code like he was never loved, okay.
- every time someone talks bad about The Code, he makes sure to whisper it’s okay, you always have me to it soothingly
- For one of their anniversaries, Victoria made him pillow cases with The Code on them in needlepoint so that he could embrace it each night. When they have sex, he sometimes calls her “The Code.” She likes it.
- she did, however, put her foot down about naming their daughter The Code
- They compromised. Allison C. Argent. They told her the C was just because she had two grandmothers fighting for middle name rights. No one has told her it actually stands for Code.
- he’s definitely aiming for a grandchild named Code tho. allison is Not Having It
- When Chris needs to intimidate someone (actually make them really scared), he calls Victoria. When Victoria needs muscle, she makes him loom in the background and promise not to talk.
- ‘and swear sunglasses’ — ‘victoria, it’s night’ — ‘honey, you can’t glare to save your life. you have the eyes of an emotionally stunted puppy. wear the glasses’
- Chris has compiled a list of “Code” in other languages in hope of finding a version that Allison would find acceptable for a child’s name.
- italian is his favorite so far
- The reason Chris likes Scott is because Scott is the first person to find Chris genuinely scary. He needs the ego boost.
- he goes home to The Code and confesses that he might have bent the rules a little to do it, but. c’mon. first time in a lifetime
- Stiles baked him “The Code” cookies as a peace offering. (Think Rachel’s “I’m Sorry” cookies)
- he celebrates the ratifying of The Code with cake
- He addresses all of his journal entries as “Dear Code.”
- He took pictures of the first time he got “Code” in his alphabet soup. Then he cried because he viewed it as the Code reaching out to him.
So do we call this Mean Wolf? Or…..
this is a fic that i started working on because of saucery’s chris/stiles slave au fic and it’s stayed on the back burner for a while because life is hard.

This year, Chris’ class holds a staggering seventy-two students — split evenly between males and females — and most of them pay rapt attention to his lectures and demonstrations. There are practice sessions where the students play together in order to divest them of any sense of personal space, getting them used to kissing and touching and pleasuring another person. These sessions are as close to public as they can be — with floor to ceiling windows along one wall so that passersby can watch if it pleases them. It makes the first few lessons stilted and uncomfortable. Chris sympathizes, but it’s a stark reminder that they’re each going to have to become accustomed to being seen in whatever state that might please their future masters, even if it means being naked and aroused — especially if it means that.
It takes a couple months before any of them start to stand out, before Chris’ notations in their files start veering toward the finer behavioral details. He notes which of them is showing a particular talent for oral sex, who can dance the best, who can withstand the most stimulation before achieving orgasm, and who has an aptitude for grooming techniques. He notes also any disciplinary concerns, of which there is only one so far: Stiles Stilinski.
Stiles’ file mentions his parents briefly — both deceased — and an incredibly short list of mastered talents, relative to his classmates. He shows a high IQ though (rivaled only by that of Lydia Martin, whose stunning looks, IQ, and obsessive need to be the best have put her at the top of Chris’ class) and a strong recommendation letter from Dr. Deaton, which is a damn near impossibility. The letter itself refers to Stiles as a jack of all trades type — quick thinker, adaptable, competent in conversing in many topics, and moderately physical.
Clever, is how Deaton boasts of Stiles. Funny how Deaton fails to mention manipulative.
Because Chris Argent has dedicated his entire life to stopping monsters. If that is his sister. Or his father. Or his daughter. He will do it. He will hate it, and he will hate himself, but he will not hesitate. Chris Argent understands that werewolves aren’t the only monsters out there. He will do the job and go home and call himself a murderer in the mirror and sleep at night because tomorrow is another day that he needs to be strong enough to face.
One day, I think maybe Chris Argent and Sheriff Stilinski are going to have an interesting conversation about what it’s like to wonder if your only child has become something terrible.
I don’t know, the Sheriff’s got plenty of moral high ground to work with but Chris isn’t really in any position to judge Allison too harshly. Chris isn’t a great guy. He does good things, and he looks like sunshine and daisies next to Gerard, Victoria, and Kate, but that’s not the same thing as being a good/moral person.
I mean, he did this - he showed up and pointed his gun at Kate and defended Scott, but this is maybe a couple hours after he drove his SUV full-speed at Scott and would have crushed him if Scott hadn’t wolfed out and jumped out of the way. Scott only falls under the protection of Chris’ code when it’s convenient or when there are extenuating circumstances - in this case, particularly, Chris was upset that Kate’s fire had killed non-were children. The fact that she was not technically within her rights to put Scott down was secondary to that injustice.
He does a similar thing when he turns against Gerard and Allison to help the betas at the end of S2 - he stops Allison from killing Boyd but he still helps her get Boyd and Erica home, string them up, and electrocute them. When he decides to set them free, he turns off the electricity but he doesn’t cut them down or help them sneak out. These kids are younger than his daughter and he only did the bare minimum to aid them.
And that’s not to mention the fact that Derek doesn’t seem to warrant the protection of the Code at all - in the first season Chris seems to feel that the Alpha’s guilt is Derek’s guilt despite a complete lack of proof that Derek and the Alpha even know each other, much less that they’re in cahoots. And once Scott accuses Derek of murder (still with no proof), Chris goes after him guns blazing. Even after Derek helps protect Allison and kills Peter, Chris keeps hunting him, driving him out of the house that he scolded Kate for burning down.
Then there’s the little issue of him and his wife kidnapping an innocent human man and torturing him until he quit his job and fled town. At least, I assume that’s what happened. We never actually get confirmation that the original Beacon Hills HS principal made it safely out of Beacon Hills to pursue his career in school administration elsewhere.
Chris certainly knows that werewolves aren’t the only monsters out there, but I’m not sure he’s clear on where he falls in that spectrum.
chris argent: not a good man
Let’s get real, if I were gonna bang anyone on Teen Wolf, it would be THIS GUY:
1. Teens on the show: ugh, gross, they would be terrible, all jackrabbit humping and Axe.
2. Papa Stilinski might cry.
3. Derek Hale would DEFINITELY cry and would also probably play Your Body is A Wonderland on repeat.
4. Look at this guy. He goes downtown. He goes uptown. He goes on the cross town bus and then gets a transfer so he can take the express. He was super in love with his wife and made crazy love to her constantly and she does not strike me as a lady who is easily pleased and what I’m saying is fffffffffffffff, leg holster me on it. Deep-v-neck me on it.
