Author's Note: Hey everyone, as a babysitter I'm constantly watching Jake and the Neverland Pirates which got me thinking. How would Jake tie into the OUAT storyline with Peter Pan being evil. Just kind of an idea that I had to get out of my head. If there's enough interest, I'll continue with this storyline. If not, thanks for reading.

Prelude: Welcome to Storybrooke

The sand of the shore gave way beneath the weight of the prow of the skiff as it came to a halt. Chills ravaged the waterlogged pirate in the boat despite the warmth of the morning rays pulling him closer to alertness. It awoke one sense after another; he could taste the metallic tang of dry blood in his throat laced with the saltiness of the ocean and smell it in the air, hear the waves lapping up against the sides, the pain that came with each labored breath… pain. It attacked maliciously and intensified the closer he got to alertness. Silently, he pleads to slip back into the weary state of oblivion- let the waves come crashing over the edges and free him from his pain.

"Open your eyes," a voice whispered through the darkness, soft and sweet. "Keep fighting, Jake."

A small smile slips onto Jake's lips as his mind transforms the voice into an angelic chorus. It was divine- the eternal heavenly salvation- and caused him to readily obey. Baby blues as deep and sparkly as the ocean lazily emerge from beneath heavy lids, and immediately snap shut beneath the harsh light of the morning sun. But in that brief of moment, Jake sees the owner of the voice. She's beautiful, breathtakingly so with perfect olive skin and emerald eyes more vibrant than any piece of treasure he'd ever come across. She remains hovering overhead for several more blinks, the radiance of the morning rays encircling the beautiful brunette.

"Izzy," he murmurs, the word humming lazily over his lips.

But as he makes the last leap towards lucidity, he realizes that his mind is playing tricks on him causing him to see ghosts. Tilting his head up, he takes in the deep orange sunlight arced across the sky bathing the ocean with a mirrored glow.

Sunrise.

Though there are days you can't see it, it's a constant in all the realms he'd traveled. The sun always rises. It's inevitable but, for the rouge pirate, it is something he never thought he'd see again. The moment Jake set out on this perilous journey, he knew that the chances of survival were slim. But he hadn't set out to make it to Storybrooke to survive. No. Captain Jake Talon had other plans.
