    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

    A hand grasped his arm, sending a brief thrill down Merlin's nerves as he was forced around to face the person behind him. Armour gleamed in the firelight: supple chainmail glinted, and the solid iron of a pauldron curved lovingly over one broad shoulder. The length of a sword blade separated them. The point hovered, steady and sure, over Merlin's heart, braced to run him through, but he did not care about any of that. He was too busy drinking in the sight of the man before him.

    He could never forget him, no matter how many centuries had passed.

    'Arthur?'


    When Merlin ultimately fails in his destiny, the fading remnants of magic that linger in the modern world fling him not just back in time, but sideways as well. He ends up in a Camelot where all his friends are alive, well and aware of his magic.

    He ends up in a Camelot where his alternate self died almost a year ago.

    Can he, Arthur and their friends still forge the golden age he was once promised, or will grief and suspicion tear them apart?

    Summary

    Arthur wasn't meant to see Merlin's magic in the last moments of battle, but he did.

    Merlin wasn't meant to take the arrow fired at Arthur, but he did.

    Maybe they can find the truth in all of it. Maybe not.
