Get it Here

1. I was reccing some fiction to my friend Cam, one of the story's was written by Morpheus, Dark Roots. Well, Cam loved that and went to read more fics and then she found the pre-season 3 stories here by Morpheus:

Because I needed to ask something here anyway I figured I'd ask her ? first. I can't recall because its been a LOOOONG time since I read them. Are these all parts in one series? If not, which ones are and which ones are standalone stories?

Edit: #1 Found, thank you kmboatright for answering the question. They are all a series beginning with Shattered.

2. It isn't my imagination or is it? Marvin Deekins is the incumbent Mayor, meaning he was Mayor and Jim Stockwell was running to de-seat him, correct? I have this feeling that the show has proof of this in an episode and though I've watched 309-314 through and through over the last couple of weeks, I still am not getting it but I could be missing it because I get distracted with all the other wonderful things I'm constantly memorizing while watching my favorite QAF episodes. Help?

Edit: #2 Found, thank you to besamebj for your help.
Mayor Deekins was Councilmen Deekins before the election. So the current Mayor was not running in the race.

And on that note, I found out that since 1934 all of the mayors have been democrat, with the exception of 2, one who was nominated by both parties and another who claimed Independent/Democrat. I guess I just find it odd that such a democratic city would've so drastically changed to the lengths it did for Stockwell. Yes, yes, I realize that it is not real, but stil.... *sigh*
