Daughter of the light. Son of the darkness.
The girl destined to break the curse. The boy the curse was created for.
For me, this is always one of the big selling points for SwanFire. It’s so utterly fairy tale and poetic; how could Adam an Eddy resist the idea that what heals the family and what heals the Enchanted Forest, are the two children who are at the center of it all? The idea of darkness and light coming together to create something NEW–it’s so fairy tale.
Which is my headcanon has always been (for quite some time now) that the real endgame of the show is a merging of the two worlds, blending together to form something new, with the power of SwanFire true love. That’s Emma’s real role as the Savior–breaking the Curse was part one. The real Savior moment will come when she heals the breech between the worlds using not only her status as True Love Incarnate but using the True Love she has found with Neal and Henry.
