    Summary

    Carlisle lingered close, as still as a stone. For a moment, Charlie wondered if all the air had been sucked out of the room. There was some new look in the Doctor's eye, like… He wanted something from him.

    Charlie Swan had given much thought to how he would die, but he never suspected it would be because of love.
    When the rich and charming Dr. Cullen moves into Forks, it feels like Charlie can't stop running into him. Over cases and coffee, they get to know each other better... And Charlie finds it more and more difficult to suppress unprofessional thoughts. Meanwhile, Carlisle's discovery of his very first Singer puts a strain on the Cullens settling into Forks.

    Summary

    “I’m making breakfast. How do you like your eggs?”

    “Oh,” she says, flustered again — god this girl is easy to work up — “you really don’t have to, Mr. — Dr. — Jack.”

    He cocks an eyebrow at her. “You’re a guest in my house Samira. I expect you to act like one, and that means eating breakfast when I offer.”

    or: Samira stays with her best friend's dad over spring break

    Summary

    It doesn’t help the sparks of smoldering want when he sees Whitaker dragged around by Robby, when he watches the kid get pliant and loose, firmly secured under Robby's exacting touch.  

    Except that's not quite right either. 

    There's something about the curve of his shoulders, the tilt of his head. The glint in his cornflower blue eyes, an evaluating hunger in the depths of him, the curl of his fingers around a scalpel; he's steadier with a blade in his hand than just about anywhere else. 

    OR: Jack Abbot doesn't have control issues. He swears. Just like he swears that he doesn't have any special interest in Dennis Whitaker. No, this is all in the name of helping.

    Summary

    “Grace! Why you no say plants are on Hail Mary, question?!”

    The question puts me on my back foot. Literally. I jog up to the door after my morning run to find Rocky waiting for me on my side of the house, suited up and ticked off. I rock back on my heel.

    “Huh?”

    “What you mean ‘huh’, is simple question! Why no mention plants on Hail Mary when almost die of no vitamins?!”

    “No bud, I heard you the first time,” I scoff, shaking my head ruefully. He gets under my feet, tapping at my thighs with his claws to annoy me while I toe off my running shoes.

    “Hey, quit— quit it! You’ve gotta be confused, the only plant matter on the Hail Mary was the food in my meals, and that’s years gone.”

    ——-

    Aka, Grace gets a bittersweet surprise several years after he settles into his life on Erid.
