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
'Not your fault, Doc. I’ve always been a bad sleeper. Used to drive Renée crazy.’
‘I’m sure finding out your town was full of monsters didn’t help, though,’ Carlisle murmured. He was looking down at his hands, folded neatly on the table in front of him. As if he wanted to keep them in sight.
‘Carlisle,’ Charlie said, putting his pen down. ‘There’s someone sitting in that building over there, right now, selling addictive painkillers to anyone with enough cash. Monsters existed in my town a long time before you showed up. Besides, someone’s got to keep the deer population down.’
In which Carlisle grapples with shame, Charlie grapples with some very human monsters, and both of them grapple with the horror of having to take days off work.

Summary
"So maybe it really actually starts like this: Draco is gifted a truly horribly ugly Christmas jumper by his mother, and is guilt-tripped into wearing it at work.
Apparently Harry takes the hideousness of the jumper to mean that Draco is okay with receiving terribly ugly things for presents, because the next time he’s abroad – in bloody Chicago – he brings back an eagle with the American flag on its back that is capable of singing the first three lines of the American anthem if you press it on the stomach back for Draco."__
Five years after the war Draco is working a tech developer job in the Auror Office, and it's all great except this one thing: Harry Potter works there, too. Things only become stranger when Harry starts bringing Draco ugly souvenirs back from his work travels. When Harry then shows up injured in Draco's flat, Draco considers the possibility that he's going insane.
