    Summary

    Charlie Swan and his librarian wife have been happily married for five years, which is long enough to learn two immutable truths about Forks: it always rains, and Bella’s love life is somehow louder than thunder. Presented as a string of chaotic, story-like vignettes, this fic follows the baffled parents as they navigate cliff-dives, last-minute flights to Italy, an engagement that arrives faster than the mail, and a baby reveal that defies every pamphlet in the paediatrician’s office.

    Summary

    Charlie Swan was a boring man. A basic, boring man. He knew it, his daughter knew it, and his ex-wife sure as hell knew it. But he liked it like that. He liked going to work everyday and dealing with animal attacks and drunk teenagers. He liked his steady routine of black coffee, police cruisers, and blueberry cobbler at the Carver Cafe. Okay, maybe he didn’t like this new boy Bella kept running off with, but other than that he had no complaints. Nothing could rock his steady rhythm. Except for you.

    Summary

    The corner of Swanton and Dorner is swarmed with the usual faces of the morning rush. Women in various states of dress and distress mill about, pacing anxiously as they hiss into their phones, or stand like zombies as they scroll whatever social media they're brave enough to keep. Most nurse coffee, a couple tea; steam rising from chipped, donated mugs broadcasting a berth of local sports teams. You yourself carry nothing other than your new, state-issued phone, your mission today requiring only your memory and the sort of courage that leaves your stomach too twisted for caffeine.

    The phone rings three times, shrill notes in your ear that stretch too long, give you so much time to back out that you nearly do. You're just pulling your phone away from your cheek when the note cuts out, a quiet rustling and a gruff voice on the other end keeping you pinned in place just those few seconds longer.

    "Chief Swan."

    Chief? You falter, on edge now. You can only think of one type of chief who would answer a phone like that and it makes you wary.

    "Hi. Um… Charlie?

    He sighs, impatient but not unkind. "This is he. How can I help?"

    Summary

    Now I will preface this with a warning: I am writing this at about 3 in the morning. But I am like a bloodhound searching for my little truffle, and Charlie Swan is that truffle. This is a contemporary story, and I'll see if it awakens something in me to make sure I continue. I think there may be an age gap for this little story, but nothing crazy. I'm aging Y/N as 25, and I believe Charlie is 41. Now, if that alarms you, I advise you to leave this site immediately, as there are many worse things hosted on this site. I think 25 is when your frontal cortex is fully developed, so you would know what is good for you. Additionally, this is a piece of fiction, so nothing crazy is truly happening here. This is meant to be a fun read for whoever stumbles upon it :) I hope you have fun reading!!!
