Poor Unfortunate SoulsNote: I do not own “Once Upon A Time” and I do not make a profit from writing this story. I’m just amusing myself. I also do not own the spell used and a quote that Red Riding Hood states, which comes from "The Adventures Pinocchio".
Authors Note: Please read the warnings carefully and the timeline I’m following goes as follows. Jiminy was nearly 30 when he became “The Cricket”. His parents had been working for Rumpelstiltskin all his life. This takes place about 5 years after Pinocchio became a real boy, given Geppetto’s age which is about 55; this makes Jiminy about 85 at this point.

Summary: Jiminy Cricket felt the term "poor unfortunate soul" was a term created for him, all he wanted to do was love, but fate had other plans.
( Jiminy Cricket didn’t know if it was the glee on the Imp’s face or the sickening croon of his voice but he felt like he was about to make a deal with the devil. He felt that this would tarnish his soul, but it was his only way. He had no other choice... )![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png){kind=small}
