    Summary

    "Dad… Dad," he whispered to the cold floor, his voice warbling. "You were supposed to be here. Why aren't you here?"

    He’s face-down on the kitchen floor when he asks the ocean that question. Something answers. Just not from the right place, or the right time, or in the shape he expected.

    He wakes up on a beach thousands of years too early, and the first thing that finds him is a boy about his own age with sharp teeth and absolutely no idea what a “no” is for.

    Neither of them knows who the other one is.

    One of them never will.

    Summary

    Why did fate, the gods, whatever—give him a home and family, spare him the memory of his dying planet? Why did he get so much while she got this lot, bitter and pain-filled, the narrow road? He’s sure she thinks it sometimes, that he got it all and she got sorrow instead.

    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

    As Caspian and Edmund are discussing starting a search party come morning, and Reepicheep is insisting that they press on, Lucy hears a very faint noise in the brush behind them. Just then something sharp and cool and likely metal has been set lightly against the back of her neck and a voice she knows almost as well as her own commands, “Don’t move.”

    Lucy cannot see who stands behind her, but she doesn’t need to. She knows, though she can hardly believe it; stands frozen in shock as the others wheel round, reaching for weapons before they stumble to dumbfounded halts. Caspian is open-mouthed. Lucy is grinning.

    Edmund says, wonderingly, “Susan?”

    (or, the one where lucy and edmund are not the only pevensies who voyage aboard the dawn treader.)

    Summary

    “Is that him?” you ask, a little awestruck and a little frightened both. “King Peter?”

    “High King,” your father corrects, something very like amusement warming his tone as his hand moves to tousle your hair. But then it fades quick and quiet into something you, in your youthful inexperience, cannot yet parse as the two of you gaze upwards at the stern stone visage.

    At last, your father says, very softly, “Not as I knew him, no.”

    (or, the last rulers of narnia vanished into nothingness as they hunted the white stag. sometimes, rilian wonders what it is that his father pursues.)

    Summary

    It’s not that Oscar minds not talking (in fact he prefers it) but Max has always unsettled him slightly. It’s not Max’s intensity that bothers Oscar, because he’s similarly intense, but just the legend of him; he’s got a lion on his helmet and five championships under his belt, and he can drive from the pit lane to the podium in under sixty laps.

    So they just sit there in the quiet for a while.

    Something prods at Oscar’s brain about ten minutes in. Poking curiosity. Like someone’s asking him how he feels, genuinely, not the press-ready answer, thanks. He looks at Max, who raises an eyebrow.
