ok, i disagree that Snow and David would never have met. Would Rumplestiltskin not still need true love bottled in his curse and Snow and David are true love without Regina, so he just would have somehow arranged them meeting in a more formal way than they did in Snow Falls but they still would have met. Fate course corrects dearie.
There were many many other true loves in Fairy Tale Land Rumple could have chosen from…without Regina, Snow would not have gone on the run and robbed Charming. So they wouldn’t really have met…Charming would have married Kathryn and Snow would have been betrothed over to some random stranger. No Emma meeting Neal, which is then no Henry.
True Loves Who Would Have Been On Top Of Rumple’s List To Bottle:
1. Philora
2. Eric and Ariel
3. Cinderella and Prince Thomas
