PREACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀
I’m going down with this ship too. NO WAY are things over between Emma & Neal and I am still of the mindset that CS is going to happen first because of Emma being afraid. Being with Hook is easy, she doesn’t have to face any of her past with him, but being with Neal requires her to overcome her past hurts, pains, and heartaches and she is not ready to do that yet. I think she’s getting there though and if CS helps Emma see what she really wants *cough Neal cough*, then let’s go with it and get Emma to that place where she can face her fears and move forward to find something happy in her life.
BTW-I OVE that quote too about Emma needing someone to just see her as Emma. That is most definitely Neal who was always ‘just Neal’ to her, just like she is ‘just Emma’ to him. Happy endings don’t come more gift wrapped than that. <3

A shippy response.
Back in 305 Hook calls Emma "Savior." He uses it instead of her name and in fact he rarely uses her first name at all--it's always Swan, the Lady Swan, Savior, ect. . But she doesn't want to be seen as just the savior or anything else. She just wants to be Emma. And Neal has always seen her as just that--Emma. His Emma. He doesn't care if she's the savior or an investment banker. She's just Emma.

Yeah, it was shippy 😉 but the point still stands. Neal loved her when she had nothing and was a nobody without a family…she loved him when he was also a nobody with no family and the only things he could offer her were a stolen key chain and a car roof over her head. I think that at our deepest core, everyone wants to be loved for who they are deep inside and not for superficial or temporary reasons such as finances, status, or their family situations. When they each had nothing to offer the other one, they still found happiness together and I just think when you break it all down, SF makes the most sense and that’s what Emma has to get back to at some point. The distractions of real life are overwhelming her right now but someday she’ll be ready to stop and see things simply again. I hope anyway!

ParticipantI am really worried, like many of you, about SF happening first. I don’t want it to. I was prepared for CS and now I’m worried we’re not endgame anymore. I will go down with this ship. The parents ship it, Henry ships it, heck even Regina refers to him as “this person”.
Why do some of you think SF is happening first? Neal and Emma didn’t actually have that date, and Neal said he wouldn’t bother her if she didn’t show, and she didn’t (though she was going to). That means SF is going to be on hold until the end of S3. If anything, I think CS is about to hit us. BIG TIME. BUT… First, the promo for 3×11 had a brief image of Emma and Hook giving each other googly eyes. Icky, but at least it means CS is probably first in the order of things, which could mean SF is an end-game thing. First CS but then SF. I think that CS might happen if/when the new curse hits! Remember Emma in those plaid paints in 3×12 spoiler images? Well…if Emma is indeed cursed with some alter-ego and traipsing around NYC with Hook, well then she’s not in her right mind, is she? She’s cursed, potentially, since we heard Rumple say that not even Emma would be immune from this new curse! If CS happens when Emma is cursed then that’s more like when David Nolan and Kathryn were “married” during the curse.

ParticipantBTW-Some CS person butted into my conversation with someone else on Twitter tonight and said that they thought CS was endgame because of the long time they’ve spent setting it up. I wasn’t about to argue with her over it but I did point out that if she doesn’t see that there’s also a set up for SF, then I don’t think we’re watching the same show. Oy vey….the Triangle of Doom has GOT to go. 🙁

ParticipantHello SwanFire shippers!
I feel on the fence about where they are headed in terms of their relationship…these are writers are such a tease :P.
Also, I’m happy DaddyCharming got to make his first Dad joke 😛

ParticipantHey, I know our mission during the hiatus…to beat the CS thread in page count 😀 Petty, I know…childish, I know. But we have to have a goal during the hiatus 😛 Come one, we’re less than 70 pages behind. 😉
