I shouldn't be starting a new story but I just can't help myself. I have all these ideas and they won't all work together! So a little background:

The only thing Once Upon a Time in this story is a few characters. So I'm not even putting it in crossovers. The OUaT part is all AU and all human.

This takes place in Riverdale season two with some plot line of the actual show in tact. It becomes my own thoughts right after Jughead fully joins the Serpents, but the details on that will be revealed in the first chapter. From there, there will be tidbits and major story lines in tact from the show but the rest will be all me.

I don't own any of these characters.

Read on and enjoy!

Meet the Jones'

Prologue

Jughead always knew he had family in Ireland. An uncle, and two cousins. He knew his dad and uncle were estranged. He knew his uncle's wife died in a car accident. He knew his cousins were quite a few years older than him. But he didn't meet them until he was twelve, Jellybean was eight and his cousins were twenty-one and eighteen. That's when the Irish half of his family moved to America to escape their abusive father. That's when they knocked on the door of FP's trailer and gave Jughead and Jellybean the greatest family they could ever ask for.

"I'll get it, dad!" the youngest Jones called, running to the trailer door. She swung it open to reveal two men that looked like they could be her and Jughead's long lost siblings. She gasped and called for her parents, who both came out of the small kitchen to see what was going on.

"Hello, sir," the older of the two spoke first in a faint Irish accent. "My name is Liam Jones and this is my brother Killian. Are you Forsythe Jones?"

"I am. You must be Brennan's boys," FP replied, tears springing to his eyes. "I haven't seen you boys since you were in diapers. You're so grown. Please, come in. I want you to meet you aunt and cousins. Jug!" FP welcomed his nephews with open arms and called his own son out to meet them. Introductions well amazingly well and all the kids made quick friends. The family ate dinner together and the two foreign men returned to their hotel for the night. The Irish men opened a bar one town over and made frequent visits to their new found family. They all forged a strong bond but things began to crumble when FP started heading down the same drunken path his brother had taken. Thankfully, he never turned abusive but it still put a strain on almost everyone's relationship. Killian and Jughead remained close but were not able to see each other much, due to Jughead being a kid and Killian's work schedule.

Four Years Later

An urgent knock sounded on Killian's door and he rushed from his paperwork over to it. Tugging it open, he found his younger cousin with a pretty blonde girl at his side. He grinned his devilish grin and pulled the teen into a hug. Jughead returned it with a small smile.

"Jug! What brings you? And who is this beautiful young lady? The famous Betty, perhaps?" he exclaimed, ushering the high schoolers into his apartment.

"Killian. I'm afraid why I'm here sucks and I'm sorry that my visit isn't under better circumstances but you know us Forsythe's; we have God-awful luck," he deadpanned in his usual dry tone but he turned slightly dopey as he introduced his girlfriend. "But yes, this is Betty. Betts, this is my cousin, Killian."

"Nice to meet you, Killian," Betty moved to shake his hand but Killian offered a gentle hug instead.

"Regardless of why, it's nice to see you and a pleasure to meet you," the Irish man conceded.

"Don't speak too soon, cousin," Jughead droned. "My dad's in prison and I was hoping you could help me out with his lawyer situation. I got a part time job recently and I'll pay back every cent but the state appointed lawyer is trash."

"Ah, I can do even better than helping financially," Killian rubbed his bearded chin thoughtfully. "I know a guy. But first, I have to know why he got arrested."

Any thoughts?
