Question- When did you guys start shipping Swanfire- for me it was the bar scene in Manhattan
I began, really, after the episode the Return when we learned how Rumple lost Baelfire. I just *knew* Bae and Emma somehow met and had Henry. Then my “I will go down with this ship” feelings began with Broken because the second I saw Neal I screamed “BAE!!!” I just knew. Then Tallahassee happened and I was like, “yup. It’s true love.” For me, Tallahassee showed that Neal was the exact same as Baelfire. That despite the crap he had gone through (that we had seen up until that point) he was still a noble, good hearted, kind, generous, sweet, compassionate man who would sacrifice everything for someone he loved. With everything he has been through he could have turned into a villain, but he didn’t.
That’s really cool- I was a hard core Gremma shipper back then and had just gotten over his death I was late to join the Neal is Bae theory I started to believe it that summer
