Summary
"Jon didn’t know if his marriage was abusive or not. It didn’t matter, though, because he wasn’t trapped. He could leave if he wanted.
But leaving would be giving up Jonah’s gift, and Jon wouldn’t do that. Couldn’t do that. He still had nightmares of teeth and claws and blood, not-quite faded memories of his life before. Jonah had saved him from that, and it was a gift worth the tears and bruises and fear.
Jon’s relationship with Jonah was a delicate balance. If Jonah pushed too hard, Jon would leave. If Jon pushed too hard, Jonah would cast him out. The threat of their arrangement coming to an end was enough to keep them both in line."
Jon is stuck with a jealous, cruel sorcerer husband. And then a baker moves into town.

Summary
One death during The Miller's Daughter just wasn't painful enough, quite frankly, so another major character will be biting the dust.
We diverge from canon at the moment Cora's heart is returned to her body, and this time not by Regina's hand. What happens from there leads to a new Dark One, a family in turmoil and new alliances being formed to protect the most important person in all of their lives. Hey, like Hillary Clinton said: it takes a village. Slow-burning but definitely a Swan Queen story, so hang in there with me. I'll update just as frequently as I can.
This is an AU requested by the lovely thewhitestars. The title is a nod to the excellent novel by Lionel Shriver, 'We Need To Talk About Kevin'.

Summary
Lost and alone at the end of the world, Jon decides to try one last idea. It goes wrong, as his ideas usually do, when both the Web and the Spiral decide to interfere with what he's doing. For once the disaster goes his favor. Mostly.
He wouldn't have chosen to go back in time to when he was eight years old. He certainly wouldn't have chosen to catch Elias freaking Bouchard's attention before he's had a chance to do anything. And he cannot believe that his luck is so monumentally bad that he gets adopted by the man who wants to use him to end the world.
Jon has to figure out how to keep Elias away, while saving his friends and the world. And hopefully growing old enough that he can go anywhere on his own and be taken seriously.

Summary
Sometimes, history repeats itself. Sometimes, it gets written anew. And sometimes, there comes an age when old heros are no longer needed, when an age has created its own. In a world where protecting the innocent isn't as simple as swinging a sword, a small antiques shop stands on the boarder between Chinatown and Little Italy. Inside, history is never forgotten and legends are remembered as they truly were, and seen as they truly are.
