Interesting point Gypsy, but didn’t the blue fairy say that the world he was going to had no magic. Neverland does have magic. I still don’t see how that would work.
I do believe that the BF told Bae to remember to follow the bean wherever it led him. To me that implies that it led him to other worlds prior to arriving here, in a world without magic. Doesn’t mean that other places, prior to arriving here, did not have magic.
Another thing that I’ve considered. The writers love to put their twist on the stories. As I’ve said earlier, in Disney’s movie Hook, Peter Pan did indeed leave Neverland for Moira. Grew up with her and married her. So I don’t think it’s that far of a stretch.
Regarding Rumple creating the curse to arrive when Bae did, that would mean Rumple expected to arrive when Bae was 14. Yet Rumple mistakenly thought that August was Bae. August was a grown man and not a 14 year old boy. So somehow Bae had to make the transition from 14 to an adult man. Considering that he was “lost” many centuries ago, where else could he have done that but in Neverland. The bean led him there and he stayed through the centuries until the bean eventually ledhim to Emma at 14, remaining here and aging as Emma did.
Hope I’ve articulated this properly. But in my mind, it makes a lot of sense.
