Notes:
This is a mostly a
complete overhaul of everything that happened in the show since they decided to
kill Neal off….starting with keeping him alive. There will be certain elements
of canon that will remain, including some events and characters from later
seasons.Neal turned the small bean over and over again
in his right palm.He knew it was only a matter of time that his
world would have to change again. That was just the way his life worked –
constantly moving from one place to another just as he thought he found a home.The
years seemed to go by like seconds. When one has lived for hundreds of years
time tends to do that. Still, he thought he might have finally, at long last,
found some normalcy and permanence.The last place he expected it to be was the
magical, previously cursed town where his father lived.
