AN: Does anyone remember "Too Perfect"? It was a sequel of sorts to "Dreams Unknown." They are both pieces of which I am not particularly proud. This is "Too Perfect" as I had originally intended it. I hope that it is better. It goes AU around the end of season three.

Prologue:

Sometimes I just sit on that old swing and wonder. The air is fresh, an oddity to my senses that are accustomed to the acrid tinge in city air. It was their house before it was ours, and it had been steadfastly the same for as long as I can remember. It used to be a farm house a very long time ago. They'd come here when my mother was just a baby, running from something.

I hadn't known my grandparents particularly well, but I knew that neither of them would ever run if they could fight.
