I just had a weird thought. If the curse is broken and FTL no longer exists, and SB only came into existence due to the curse – does that mean that SB will cease to exist when the curse is broken?
For that matter, in the real world – the world that now SB exists in (and by real world I mean the world we all live in, the same world where Boston is 😆 ) – Fairy Tale characters don’t really exist. So, if the curse is broken in the real world – can the Fairy Tale characters even exist anymore? If they can’t go back to FTL because it was destroyed, where would they go?
I know this seems weird, but it also struck me as a very LOST way of thinking. Like maybe if the curse was broken, SB would cease to exist and the characters would suddenly end up torn apart from each other and spread all over the place, knowing who they are but not knowing how to find their way back to each other. So suddenly Mr. Gold wouldn’t be the only one searching for someone he loves – ALL of the characters would be searching for people they love. You could have David in LA, MM in Ohio, Leroy in Florida, etc. Technically they would all be able to get their happy endings – but would their happy endings still be what they were before the curse. Ex. MM could meet some really great guy in Ohio that has never accused her of being a murderer and gives her the correct Valentine’s Day card. Maybe she decides that is really her happy ending.
