Introduction

This is a story featuring Spencers, Cassadines, the mob (Frank Smith, Sonny/Jason/Sorel), Alexis, Maxie Jones, Mac Scorpio, Emily Quartermaine and others as it progresses.

It is an alternate history fic. Here’s the background:

Luke and Laura were married but divorced after 2 years
Lucky supposedly died right before his first birthday (reason for the L&L divorce).
Laura had an affair with Stefan, which produced Nik – no secret – happened before her marriage to Luke
Stefan returned to PC after Helena died to be with Laura, the two married
The Ice Princess fiasco never happened, so the Spencadine war isn’t relevant here
Laura is pregnant with Stefan’s child – a girl they plan to name Lulu
Luke has remained a bachelor, popular with the ladies, for many years, but he has a very special relationship with Alexis
Luke had a half brother, Bill Eckert, so Sly is his nephew
Frank Smith killed Bill Eckert and Sly’s aunt and uncle over a business deal gone wrong
Frank Smith is alive and well and still creating havoc – he has a son, Frank, Jr. (Frankie)
Johnny is the same guy that works for Sonny on GH, only here he works for Frankie
Ruby is still alive and running Kelly’s diner
Ages: Frankie – 15, Nik – 17, Sly – 14, Maxie – 15, Emily – 14
