The Jesse Chronicles are an AU where Vin has a wife. Usually, I hate original characters, especially original female characters who take up a whole lot of the page, but I like Jesse, and not just because I created her. If the prospect of a potentially "Mary Sue" OC doesn't turn you off immediately, you might want to know that Jesse doesn't even figure prominently in all of these stories. Some of them are set before Vin meets her. Even a few after they're married Jesse doesn't make an appearance; she only gets mentioned, if that. I've heard good things. You might want to try them. You might be surprised.
