    Summary

    After learning the truth about Bella, the Cullens, and the supernatural world, Charlie Swan finds himself unable to go back to normal life. Forks feels smaller now, quieter but not peaceful. He’s restless, haunted by the burden of what he’s not supposed to know.

    Carlisle Cullen, on the other hand, feels the weight of what he’s asked Charlie to carry. He checks in out of guilt at first, to make sure Charlie is coping, but those visits turn into shared coffee on the porch, quiet fishing trips, and long talks that neither of them meant to start.

    *Based on a mixture of book and film canon, including the battle in Alice's vision which was shown in film but not included in the book*

    Summary

    Charlie Swan had never given much thought about his life. His life seemed to be set out before him with little choice. Graduate highschool in Forks, take over his dad’s auto repair shop in Forks, marry a girl, and raise a family in Forks. It was all Forks. An insignificant life for an insignificant man. A straightforward path that was shattered in an instant.

    Summary

    He had managed to control his thirst for centuries, exposed himself to human blood over and over again, reached into open chests, operated on more people than he could remember, their faces blurring together. He had bandaged, glued, and stitched wounds, washing the blood from his hands every day. Never touched it, always maintaining control, had seen himself in a position to teach others to control themselves as well.

    So he wondered what had happened, what had led him to stand behind Forks' chief of police, so close, his chest was pressed against his back, whose injured hand gripped so tightly by him—it must hurt, lowering his head, a second away from tearing the man's carotid artery open.

    --------------------------------------

    Carlisle tells the story of a fateful night when his self-control and ethics were severely tested by an overworked police officer.

    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

    Canon divergence after Twilight and before New Moon: Bella breaks up with Edward and moves back to Arizona for her senior year. In Forks, both the police and the Cullens have to deal with the threat that Victoria - or, as the humans think, a dangerous wild animal - poses. When the Cullens finally stop her, they discover that her last victim had to pay a high price: Charlie is found mid-transformation in the forest.

    There is a lot to explain to him when he wakes up, and Charlie himself will have to come to terms with his new existence, and the fact that he just cannot stop feeling attracted to a certain married blond doctor.
