How much different would Jax Teller's life have been if JT never died? If the loss of Thomas brought JT and Gemma closer together instead of tearing them apart? If Clay died way before he could corrupt SAMCRO? If SAMCRO successfully went legit under JT and Gemma's leadership? If he fell in love with Tig Trager's daughter? Follow along as Jax and Isabelle "Issa" Trager navigate family, love and the obstacles of a former girlfriend back in Charming to cause trouble. 

This is a very canon-divergent look at the Sons of Anarchy universe. It's a Jax/OC love story and is not Tara friendly. I've always had a lot of "what-if" questions roaming in my head about Sons of Anarchy and as a huge Hamlet fan, I like the idea of playing with circumstances and exploring different outcomes. 

I will not be following the show's timeline and some characters may seem a bit OOC but I am trying to stay faithful to their personalities. Just putting a different spin on them given the fact that their circumstances are way different from the show. 

The story does, however, start around the same time as season one. Jax has just turned 30 and Issa is 29. 

The point of view will alternate and except for the prologue, each chapter is named for the person who's point of view we're reading. I have the story fully plotted out so hopefully updates will be weekly!

Paisley Rose Teller was the younger sister of Jax Teller. She was a very smart girl, and she was very creative. When she wasn't working at the garage, she worked from home as a baker. She was a very well known baker in Charming, and a lot of people wanted cakes and such from her. Paisley was working so much from home, and her family expected more out of her. To add to that, Paisley also had a daughter, that demanded a lot of her time. She loved her daughter, but her family didn't seem to care that her daughter needed so much attention. They still expected her to do what they needed her to do, when they needed her to do it. She was feeling like she was being pulled apart at the seams. She tried to balance baking and her family life, but it wasn't easy, especially when she got a new neighbor. The new neighbor was very attractive, but he was also someone her family definitely didn't approve of. *********** Sam Wilson had just finished his last tour in the Air Force, and he wanted to have some time away from everything. He had just lost his best friend, and he didn't know what to do with his life. He needed some time to think and ground himself in some way, which was why he moved to Charming. He didn't plan to stay, but he was going to be there for a while. He never expected to move next to a woman so beautiful and so sweet like Paisley. She was one of the nicest girls in the world, and he quickly became attracted to her. The one problem was, her family did not approve of him. Her family was stuck in a different time, but she wasn't. She was different, which made him fall for her, but would their relationship last with the problems of her family, or will it all crumble to nothing and hurt everyone around them?

| Happy Lowman x OC - COMPLETED | Madison Pinkman was the result of a short affair between Gemma Teller and Adam Pinkman, who at the time was separated from his family who lived in Albuquerque to work in Charming. Only when he had to go back did he end the affair. Nine months later, Gemma Teller stood in front of his door and surprised him with his newborn daughter and left her with him, whom he then had raised with his wife Diane. To the chagrin of both of them, Madison didn't turn out as hoped but took her half-brother Jesse, who was only two years older, as a role model. When something happened that turned Madison's life upside down and left her with sheer paranoia, she left Albuquerque and drove to Charming to look for the person who had left her with her father twenty five years ago. Whether Gemma would send her away or not didn't matter at first, what Madison needed was shelter and she didn't know anyone outside of her hometown except her birth mother. Would she finally find her place in a town with such a charming name? Maybe even a real home? Or would her little secret, which soon threatened to come out, ruin everything? And just when everything seemed to be falling apart again, she found comfort in someone who wasn't even shocked by her secret. But what could possibly shock someone with the nickname Tacoma Killer? ⸺ You don't have to know Breaking Bad to read this story. The characters I'm using from BrBa will be described as they're in the show and won't be mentioned too often except for one character.

| Happy Lowman x OC - COMPLETED | Sunshine. That's how they, her family and friends, called Cassie Connor most of the time. With her brunette hair, the ocean blue eyes and a smile that was wide but never reached her eyes she was one of the prettiest in the small town she lived in. Tacoma wasn't so big and lots of people knew each other. Many loved her for her kindness, others envied her. However, Cassie never understood how anyone could envy her. A life where her father was gone and a mother who never cared much about her children, a big brother who had barely time and a little brother who was out of control, was anything but easy. On top of that she recently lost her job as a nurse and slipped back into her party phase. Wake and bake became her new motto. Her heavy cannabis use not only worried her brother but also his best friend, Happy Lowman. The heavily tattooed biker was part of SAMCRO since years, yet he made sure to visit every few months⸺ especially since he still shared an apartment in town with Cassie. They always had been close and had that type of friendship everyone wanted. That was until he left town to start a new life in Charming, leaving her with an emptiness no one else could fill, yet she understood why he had to leave. When Happy visited Tacoma again after a long time, he quickly realized that Cassie was just as close to the abyss as her younger brother, whom he had picked up in California and brought with him. I don't own any of the SOA characters, storylines or pictures I use. The rights go to Kurt Sutter and the producers of the show. Credit for pics; to the owner!
