LOVE EVERTHING
My favorite part of 3.4 was Emma saying Home and sees the stars on the cave ceiling, and Neal going Emma. A &E is still showing their bond and how strong it is. Bread Crumbs is what I called it now, the Swanfire Bread Crumbs that leads them home!

My headcanon was Neal was convince to leave by August with some connection to the big bad. That pretty much if he stayed with Emma the bad thing that would happen would be Emma might die. We know he didn’t know of Henry. So basically it would be that staying together means Emma would be in danger. I believe MRJ and Adam and Eddy discuss several options why Neal shouldn’t have to leave. So I assume what ever they decided it would be big.
As for the jail incident I think either August or the Darlings called the cops. I think Neal was trying to do some spying on Emma and contact August. August then later told him she went to jail. Neal figure that Emma went to jail because she got caught as accessory. Thus Neal is basically blaming himself for one leaving Emma and two getting her involved with his crime. If Emma didn’t help steal the watches she would be free and find.
"I will be kind but I will speak my mind."
Favorite SF moment from 304? It’s really hard cause it’s one of my top episodes for S3 but I guess the most obvious choice is Emma declaring that she never once stopped loving Neal to her parents. Such a big step for her!
I loved that moment too because it was so raw for her to admit something so personal to anyone. She really has only said “I love you” to two people on the show so those aren’t words she throws around that easily. If this was the right episode (which I’m not 100% sure about right now), I also liked the part where Neal found their campsite and when he said Emma’s name. That was so beautiful and he smiled so sweetly knowing immediately that she had been there. It was like a brief flicker of light on his face after all the drama with Rumple and the fear over Henry’s safety.
Emma’s confession to her parents was major. My heart hurts just thinking about it. That look on her face, the tears, the raw emotion. She feels SO deeply for Neal. And that moment at the campfire when he says her name, it’s only a really brief moment, but there’s so much hope in his expression and his voice. That ep was actually a nice setup for how things stand at the town line scene. Emma’s still an emo mess, thinking there’s no chance for them to sort out their stuff, and he’s there being quietly confident and hopeful for their future.
My head canon for that scene involves him coming back into the USA because he wants to find Emma after her 11 months in jail are over, but after he goes to Phoenix to try to find her, he ends up getting arrested for the watches anyway and spends some time in prison dealing with inmates who aren’t too kind to him. After he gets out (two years later…), he goes to Tallahassee hoping to find her there but he doesn’t because the two years she spent there were just ending as he was arriving to the area so fate, of course, has intervened yet again and kept them apart. That’s when he finally gives up looking for her and starts trying to figure out his life and eventually finds himself living and working in NYC. *sigh* 🙁
Heartbreaking headcanon accepted!
and also how Emma said, “home” like she did in “Tallahassee.” Seeing Neal’s cave and realizing he was once a Lost Boy like she was a lost girl gave Emma newfound empathy for Neal. That realization preceded her tearful confession to he parents that she’d never stopped loving Neal. It made me hopeful that the way they said these simple little words were really little hints that Emma and Neal are meant to be together in the end.
They’re “almost home,” and one day they WILL get there. One of the things I loved about the NL arc was that it allowed Emma to have these new insights into Neal’s life, and come to new realisations about who he is, and how similar they are.

"I will be kind but I will speak my mind."
This i had the most amazing dream ever this morning prob why i stayed in bed so long.. Basucally the WWW had neal held captive in Regina’s castle, in the same cell that Charming was in and she keeps him captive even as they go to SB where Neal is kept in the prison there… there was this big scene where the WWW says “There’s a new sherriff in town.” it was amazing ha… then later she sends lightening bolts from her hands into neals chest to try get him to talk about everybody but he won’t say anything.. then emma comes but he thinks its a vision by WWW an hes all ive lived over 300 yrs with a broken heart even the thing that broke it most wont break me enough to tell you about Regina or anybody from this town.” I’m turning it into a fanfiction so wont tell you the rest hehe but id expect nothing less of neal or the writers
Would love to read this fic when it’s done!
The writers keep putting in subtle clues tying Emma and Neal, so I am hoping that there is going to be more to come to show why Emma would think Neal is “it” for her the way he’s obviously been shown to feel for her. Emma right now is the one who’s going on a bit of a journey and quest of self-discovery to be sure about what she wants out of life. Her fake memories and the process of believing again to recover and merge the old ones might just give her enough perspective to truly appreciate Neal ‘s side of things.
In addition to her now having more understanding of his side of things, I wonder how the memories of having kept Henry, and the actual year they’ve had together, might impact on how she views Neal. Over that year, has she had moments where she’d look at Henry and be reminded of Neal, maybe even wistfully daydreamed, “If only it had have worked out and we were still together, all three of us.” She now has a whole new sense of family, of what it’s like to belong with someone, and to actually have them there with you. Could that be enough of a push to get her to go for it and embrace the good moments with Neal in the future?

YES! And when he says her name, he says exactly like Emma says “home” because that’s what they are to each other!

EEEEEE! Look at those parallels!
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Neal cut that close, didn’t he, that leap onto a shadow. As a shipping joke, I might even say, hey that’s what I call “foreshadowing” that though he cuts it close, he isn’t going to be “too late” to reach Emma.
“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

O_O love it
I remember screaming “NEAL” at my TV when he jumped because I almost thought he didn’t catch the shadow and dropped out of the window
And then I saw that he did and I began dancing.
