DILF is a popular Derek/Stiles AU fanfic that was posted a few days after season 2 ended. It features a slow-progressing romance between single-dad Derek Hale and kindergarten teacher Stiles Stilinski; Scott McCall, Jackson Whittemore, and Danny Mahealani are all deaged.
For months,[1] DILF was the most-kudosed fanwork on the Archive of Our Own,[2] and as of 14 December 2014 is still the most kudos-ed Teen Wolf fic.[3]
Rhea314 posted a podfic of the story a month later.[4]

I am recing this as my ONE podfic in this fandom, because it’s an AU, non-werewolf story and is SUPER fluffy and cute and adorable. [personal profile] rhea314’s Derek voice is perfect. Every moment of this podfic is a delight to listen to. You feel so hard for Derek, how he keeps his life together and is an awesome dad. Tiny Scott and Jackson are to die for characters, every scene they're in is so cute. It’s a much lighter and happier perspective and I love kid!Scott and kid!Jackson to distraction. Even if you are not in Teen Wolf fandom, this podfic is a MUST LISTEN!!! [5]
Reviews/Reactions: "DILF"
slash-fanfic-recs on Tumblr labeled it "highly recommended":
- After reading this, I can guarantee that you’ll be grinning and wanting to go and hug something.[7]
DILF got some attention in the book review blogosphere:
Very sweet story about a dad who falls for his kid's kindergarten teacher. The kids are adorable and both Derek and Stiles are great. This is Teen Wolf fanfic, but I really enjoyed this one without knowing anything about the series.[8]
This is actually free fan fiction, but since I don’t know the TV series, I just read it as straight romance. Wonderful slow build, USTy relationship between a man who is guardian to his two young nephews and one of their teachers.[10]
For the same reason that non-fanfic readers liked it, anons at Fail_Fandomanon disliked it:
It's by no means BAD it's just. so very AU the author should really just pull it off ao3, change the names and sell it to a publisher as an orig m/m romance, because it bares no resemblance to the canon characterisation-wise.[11]
