Tara and Opie were the two most important people in Jax Teller's life. He referred to each of them separately as his "True North." But what if the two of them had their own history, and had more in common than just their love for Jax?

A reflective Jax looks back on his relationship with Tara, remembering the night he lost her, that moment when she first gave herself to him, and various stages in between. Moving full circle, it's these recollections that eventually lead him to discover that, eleven years later, she's back in Charming.

Same story, just edited to fit the guidelines. She loved him. He loved her. Jax and Tara as teenagers and as adult and the events that forever shaped their love for one other. Rated M for sexual themes, language and references to violence.

**Spoilers for the season 6 finale, avoid if you don't wish to be spoiled!**. Continuing from where the events in "Final Embrace" ended, what is the fallout from the tragedy that has rocked Jax's world. Who is Jax without his guiding light? Will the guilty party or parties be found and brought to justice? Is there a light at the end of the tunnel for Jax and his family?

AU. the life Tara Knowles should've lived.

the first time around.

It was Jax and Tara and Opie long since stopped being surprised by anything they did. Or more accurately, where they did the things they did.
