Keymastera 4th pretty! I can never not post this
It’s like poetry.
This is probably my favorite SF gif set. I’m sorta tempted to stick it on our front page.

Participantsidenote: I wonder if Neal will be able to see his family from the crystal ball to see how they are doing okay or will that be to painful for him. I wonder if that crystal ball even will come back to play, because Snow and Charming can use it to catch glimpse of Emma and Henry from time to time.
I’ve been wondering about that as well. I figured that if they were watching Emma and Henry in the crystal ball, that could explain how Hook knows where to find her. If we get a scene of Neal watching them in that thing, it’s gonna break my heart all over again.
My favorite moments were the moments of Emma really looking at Neal and seeing how she feels sympathetic or empathetic to what is happening to him, or even impressed by what he is doing. She spent years wondering why, then trying to turn her hurt into anger and resentment at him, based on a false idea of what sort of person he had to be to leave her. Once she knew his reason to leave was bound up in magic, destiny and fate, that neither of them ever stopped loving each other despite outwardly, genuinely feeling like they moved on, that what is between them is a real, complicated thing, it forced her to rethink what type of person she thought he is.
From the moment he claimed Henry, to her seeing his cave, telling Regina that Neal taught her things, seeing Neal forgiving his father, to reuniting with Wendy, his apologies and patience, seeing him lose his father, all of it created moments we saw Emma seeing in Neal the qualities that probably made her fall for him years ago. She was not put off by his careless cocky criminal side that much, but I think it was the brave, loyal, caring guy that touched her heart before, and it is his steady sincerity that will (if A&E write this thing to follow the breadcrumbs we discuss here) reach her again.
Perfect post is perfect!!!
Favorite SwanFire moment from 302?
Harder because Neal wasn’t in this episode, but I think it would Emma fighting the lost boys with Neal’s cutlass. Even when he’s not there…he’s there. The sword basically replaced the pendant.
He’s got her back. 🙂

Agreed. It makes more sense than Hook inexplicably finding her in the largest city in America. I mean shoot, even Charming needed an enchanted ring…

ParticipantI’ve been trying to catch up with all the wonderful pages of stuff from the last week, so I may have missed someone with the same theory, but I started to think this morning that maybe events in 3×12 may happen like this:
Yep, that’s what I’ve been thinking. He gets arrested when they’re in the park, and the hug happens on the steps outside the police station after he’s released, and Emma has seemingly drunk the potion in the blue bottle.
My Swanfire moment for 3.2 is bittersweet, but during this episode we realized that both Neal and Emma were both a lost boy and lost girl, both could hear the cries of the lost children. So that heartbreaking moment of Emma crying over the map showed me how Emma and Neal connected so well with each other and have the same motivations and goals. All they truly want is a home and family.
Aww I just want a swanfire-family group hug is that to much to asked. Just one.
So true! They fit together so perfectly.
A real man of honor does what Neal does by admitting his faults, seeking forgiveness and also forgiving his own father. Neal is now trying to offer hope to Henry and Emma by saying he will see them again. I’m keeping the faith that Emma will give Neal a second chance, because they love they have is the kind that endures even when it seems like all hope is gone.
Despite all they’ve been through over so many years apart, they’re still connected. And as they each grow as individuals, both of them finding new strength within themselves, it will mean that when they do finally get that second chance, they’re gonna be better than ever together.

Ok so I just finished marathoning “Orange is the New Black” on Netflix and this quote really got to me while watching (ps: it’s super good but very R rated if anyone wants to check it out)
Well, I think that when you have a connection with someone, it never really goes away, you know? You snap back into being important to each other because you still are.”
I was like ZOMG SwanFire! It came from a woman who just reconnected with her ex-lover after about 10 years apart.

ParticipantSwan Fire Queen AU: in which Emma, Regina and Neal are co-parenting Henry and Neal and Emma are making a point of being a pain in Regina’s ass.
Can’t you just imagine something like this actually playing out? 😆
Seriously though, I’ve actually been thinking about this a bit lately, and if they end up staying in SB indefinitely, and if Regina stays on the path she’s currently on, I’d love to see Emma and Neal both move into her mansion. Henry could have all his parents in the one place, so he’s not torn between three different places. Snowing would be free to make tacos any time they want, and if they do have that baby in show, that apartment really will be too small for everyone. Everyone wins if the SwanFireQueen clan shacks up together.

ParticipantSpeculation thoughts I could see that making sense, but right now I’m not expecting the dreamcatcher to really trigger anything. I don’t see the writers revealing Emma’s emotions just yet. They’re having too much “fun” with things the way they are. I do think we might get a crystal ball scene, because the writers love to show Neal looking upset plus it is one of the Oz items to connect to Wicked.
