Last night we got confirmation that the Author and the Sorcerer are two different people and not only different people but VERY different people. Blue seems to know quite a bit about the Sorcerer but not the Author. So what is their backstory and history?
For the Sorcerer I am going to trot out a head canon that I used to throw out whenever sneaky fairy came up but I’ve been silent on for awhile since it seemed liked Sneaky Fairy was really just Plot Device Fairy. Here it goes:
–A long time ago, the Blue Fairy fell in love with a mortal man who was dying, as all mortal men eventually do. In order to save her one true love, Blue made a dagger that when plunged into her beloved’s heart would turn him immortal so that they might spend their lives together. But all magic comes with a cost and while it did turn him immortal, it also made him evil and the First Dark one. I think that’s the Sorcerer. He is the First Dark One and the an everlasting entity that cannot be killed or destroyed, instead he found a way to transfer his curse (but retain his evilness and power) to another, along with the dagger that he cleaved (twitch) himself from. The First Dark One created the Dark Curse that Rumple stole when he was the Dark One. Blue has remained silent all the years about who the First Dark One is because she brought him into the world and feels responsible. She has spent a long time trying to rid the world of the Dark One Curse.
For the Author, I think we are looking at the trope-tastic “author as god” cliche. I think that while we might learn who wrote the book, it’s not likely that we will met them personally and interact with them. They shall remain on the periphery of the story, like God, watching evil and good do battle and writing down the events as they happen, perhaps changing the outcomes and events slightly in order to give one side an advantage at different stages in history–even the Devil gets his time in the spotlight. If the Author is living amongst the humans of this world then he’s in disguise, sort of like Chuck on Supernatural (who was most assuredly God pretending to be a prophet and left once the felt the story was done)

In order for her to know that they’re VERY different people, surely she must know the identities of both of them?

Shush. That’s logic. We don’t do that here.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Another thing…
If the author is a god-like figure, then surely he must control who the Sorcerer is and what he does????

Not necessarily. There are different views on how “god” operates in the world. He could be an active part, or he could sit back and just watch it all play out, not interfering. The metaphor of god as someone who created the universe but then left it to its own devices works here. There is also the idea that there can be no darkness without light, and no light without the darkness. You don’t eradicate the darkness but it’s a constant never ending battle that will never have a winner until the very end of time.

Perhaps the author and the sorcerer do battle for people’s soul’s, like God and the Devil in the bible.

The Blue Fairy said she didn’t know who the Author was, but who’s to say she’s not lying? She’s not above deception, as was the case when she lied to the Charmings about there being only enough magic in the enchanted wardrobe to transport one. I think that she is in cahoots with the author or is indeed the author, and that she set events into motion by sending Baelfire to A Land Without Magic.

RG I love your idea with blue and the begin with the DarkOne. I am still a fan of SNEAKY fairy – who need a dark fairy? at all? (why was chernabog not searching for blue?). Just the idea with the author is not mine. I am convinced that blue was lying a lot or leaving the truth out. (After so many years of living, she knows that she is not good in it) Her eyes seemed haunted for me, so I guess she is the author herself. Blue even suggested that it could be a woman. So my guess for the author is Blue fairy. After what happened to her love that got so twisted because of her. She tried to rewrite their story to safe him but failed miserable. (I mean first she disliked Regina that much to not even could say a proper thank you, but when Regina told her about her wish she was so compassion to her – this is my reason why I think she tried it herself to rewrite destiny)
Of course she can’t tell them about her big, big secret so she just say the author is not seen by anyone, which is partial true, cause she is know the blue fairy or nun and nothing more and the books are at the sorcerer house cause where could she do this kind of magic anyhow. When she was trying to save him with the books she could not do it by the fairys so she did it by his old home. Something gone terrible wrong by this writing and she stopped to not let it go any worse. At some point she was belle and rumple. Love wasn’t enough and she had to let it go and now she is terrified to see him again.
Another reason why I think blue is the author was a scene in season one. I think she told August about Henrys book, before the curse was even started, so she knew that it was their and that this chapter would be not in it. How could she if she was not the writer herself.
So the author was not a passive god like creature but someone who tried to trick fate, destiny or whatever you want to call it, but our story can hold many possibilities and ways that are made in the moment of the choices we made every second of our days… Just let me explain it with a song of Cat Stevens:

I swear….the Blue Fairy is one of the sneakiest things in Storybrooke…even Keegan Connor Tracy knows it!

Think Blue & Regina might have some history, @LanaParrilla? Or maybe she just wants your Alexander McQueen belt *so bad she hates you. #ouat
