I like it MedChen, some fun crack there…
The only thing is, I think “rose red” and “snow” sort of touched on with Ruby and Snow ‘s story as they were kind of “sisters” and while no transformed bears who really were Princes….Ruby did shapeshift. Plus in SW &RR, there’s sort of an element that both girls like the bear and the one who doesn’t ends up with him romantically and the other marries his twin brother. Well..James is dead of course but Snow did have a little fun time with Whale and it seemed like Ruby Red might have been getting closer to him….
I absolutely agree that Rumple wouldn’t have given up so easily but I feel like Regina really is Henry Sr. ‘s bio daughter, with how they casted it. But it could be interesting if we find out Cora knew she wasn’t at one point and just (being heartless) didn’t care–she’d raised Regina to be Queen, and little ” green wicked” wasn’t suitable for that purpose.
“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” -- Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass
