    Summary

    After three days on the run, 14-year-old Maelle is found at a gas station and taken to Forks Hospital. She has no intention of telling anyone who she is.

    Dr. Carlisle Cullen is supposed to treat her, not become invested. Esme Cullen is supposed to offer kindness, not start building a home for a human child. But Maelle has nowhere safe to go, and the Cullens have never been good at walking away from someone who needs them.

    Summary

    “Sorry to call so late, Doc.”

    “Chief Swan.” Dr. Cullen’s honeyed timbre trickles through the tinny speaker and carves its spurs into the tender workings of the cavity beneath Charlie’s lungs. “How may I be of assistance?”
     



    Charlie Swan is a man of routine. Steak and cobbler with Bella at the diner on Thursdays, baseball and beer with Harry and Billy on Sundays, the rest of his time split between fishing and paperwork. Typically the latter.

    The arrival of Forks' new chief surgeon throws a wrench in the works in every sense of the phrase.

    Summary

    The scent of Charlie’s blood in the back of Carlisle’s throat refused to fade.
    He held the animal closer, felt the twitching of its warm body slowing as he drank, but it didn’t help.
    For the first time in his long life, the deer’s blood did nothing to satisfy him at all.
    Carlisle tried not to dwell on why that might be.

    Carlisle and Charlie's beginnings. A journey that threatens to break them. A love that sews them back up.

    Summary

    There are men turning up dead in the woods, and Chief of Police Charlie Swan has a job to do—figure out what, or who, left the poor bastards torn up as they are. Chief of Police Charlie Swan is too old for this mess. Too old and too sick of this shit to pretend Forks is just a sleepy old rural town anymore. Between the gruesome corpses and the quiet, unsettling doctor Cullen who shows up like a statue in pressed slacks, lying through his teeth, Charlie’s got more questions than answers—and no one seems too keen on giving him either.

    Charlie’s trying not to notice how his breath catches when the doc gets too close. He’s also trying not to notice how the bodies keep piling up, unsolved. Neither effort is going particularly well.

    And if one more person tells him it was a bear, he’s going to shoot something. Probably not a bear.

    Summary

    Carlisle has been thoroughly ashamed of his nature since the moment a pang of hunger jolted him awake in some London back alley. He has spent every moment since trying to atone for his existence. Though he is satisfied most days, he is even more ashamed - even more terrified - of the specific, gnawing bloodlust that follows dark-haired backwoodsmen.

    Somehow still reeling from the loss of his wife 20 years ago, Charlie Swan realizes he's also managed to lose his only daughter. Frantic to explain the sudden and bizarre turn of events that ripped Bella from him, Charlie decides to risk losing what little he has left by playing investigator. But vampiric laws have powerful enforcers, and there might be good reason for Charlie to stay in the dark.

    tldr: Carlisle's gay ass is so repressed that attraction and bloodlust are tied inexorably. Charlie gets closer to Carlisle and finds more there than answers.

    Summary

    With a cowed backstep, Charlie watches Billy’s chest heave up and down. Takes in his wide, bloodshot eyes.

    He’s well and truly afraid of Charlie.

    Composing himself, Billy sucks in a breath. “Here’s all I can tell you: you’re not human anymore. You’re a predator, and you’re the kind of predator that eats people. That smell? It’s blood, Charlie. Human blood. And unless you lock yourself inside, you won’t be able to stop yourself from trying to get it.”

    ──────────

    After surviving a brutal attack, Charlie copes by isolating inside his house.

    Summary

    'Not your fault, Doc. I’ve always been a bad sleeper. Used to drive Renée crazy.’

    ‘I’m sure finding out your town was full of monsters didn’t help, though,’ Carlisle murmured. He was looking down at his hands, folded neatly on the table in front of him. As if he wanted to keep them in sight.

    ‘Carlisle,’ Charlie said, putting his pen down. ‘There’s someone sitting in that building over there, right now, selling addictive painkillers to anyone with enough cash. Monsters existed in my town a long time before you showed up. Besides, someone’s got to keep the deer population down.’

    In which Carlisle grapples with shame, Charlie grapples with some very human monsters, and both of them grapple with the horror of having to take days off work.

    Summary

    When Hua Cheng loses all his memories of Xie Lian, afflicted by a tricky curse, there’s only one way to get them back: Xie Lian has to get Hua Cheng to kiss him.

    It shouldn’t be too difficult, right?

    Xie Lian has a plan.


    “Greetings, Chengzhu,” Xie Lian said. “Apologies for the intrusion. Actually, I’ve been gifted to you by the heavens as a…”
    His voice caught.
    “I mean, to—”
    Xie Lian’s cheeks suddenly felt hot, and his palms grew damp under the rope binding his arms together. Beneath Hua Cheng’s piercing stare from above, he lost his cool.
    “As your,” he stammered. “Um, as—well—if you want, I’ve been sent to you as—I’m here to be your—”

    Summary

    Logan stalks towards him, scowl heavy on his brows. “I don’t need your help.”
    “Perhaps not,” Magneto hums, unbothered as Logan approaches. He holds the file out for him. “But I can prevent the men that put those bullets in your skull from giving them any more company.”
    Logan grits his teeth until his jaw aches. “The fuck are you on about, old man?”
    Magneto glances briefly at Mystique. “You don’t know?”

    or;

    Magneto rips those stupid bullets from Logan’s head and it inadvertently brings Logan’s memories back.

    Summary

    “I—” Logan stops walking altogether, Charles pausing alongside him. He runs a hand through his hair, frustrated— stressed, he’s not sure. “I want you to see it,” Logan forces out. “You’re— damn it,” he curses, turning away. “You’re the only one on this god forsaken planet that has any chance of bein’ able to understand any of the shit I’ve gone through.”

    or;

    Logan has been alive for a very long time, haunted by memories he doesn't always feel comfortable remembering. But sometimes the past is best shared between friends.

    Summary

    “Something seems to have been troubling you the last few days,” Charles says, watching as Logan raided his liquor cabinet. “What’s on your mind?”

    “Can’t ya read it?” Logan replies sourly. He forgoes a glass for an entire bottle of Jack Daniels, lamenting that the man had nothing stronger on hand.

    “You know I wouldn’t unless asked, Logan.”

    or;

    In a life where Logan kept a majority of his memories intact, talk of a ‘cure’ for mutants begins to dredge up parts of his past he’d rather have forgotten— of the many times throughout his long, long history where there was little Logan wouldn’t have done to get his hands on a cure.

    After another minute of silence I tried to spark the conversation again. “So, why are you taking photogra—”

    “Look, no offense.” Edward said, startling me with how fast he turned towards me. His expression was grim and dark, and his eyes were just as piercing as the rest of his family’s. “But I don’t want to be friends with you, okay?”

    I blinked a few times in surprise, and then a bolt of reactionary emotion shot up my spine. “Well that’s too bad,” I said quickly, “because you’re gonna be.”
