PriceofMagic
ParticipantI was thinking about the CaptainSwanFire triangle and about love triangles in general and in every triangle involving two guys and a girl, there is always the “nice guy” and the “bad boy”. In the case of CSF, Hook is the “bad boy” and Neal is the “nice guy”.
Normally the girl goes with the “bad boy” for a while before she realises that she’d be much better off and happier with the “nice guy”. The “nice guy” always gets the girl in the end.
So CS may happen but ultimately Neal and Emma will end up back together in the end.

KeymasterI plan on doing this for the whole of January RG because you are a great mod and deserve it with all the problems you have to deal with. Hope it cheers you up. On the 7th day of January, the SFer’s gave to RG:
7 Dwarves a drinking
6 Anton sized mugs of Hot Chocolate with Cinnamon served by Regina
5 RumBelle kisses
4 Times Neal makes puppy eyes
3 Snowing saying “I will find you”
2 Henry hugs
and Emma kicking Hook in the balls!*blush*
You’re a sweetheart 🙂 (yay dwarves!)

I also think there is a lot of normal TV tropes going on with the love triangle.
Tamara was the “removable fiancee” because she was “evil all along” which is a very common TV trope.
Then there is the “Hopless suitor” and “romantic false lead” which is Hook.
From a TV standpoint what A and E are doing isn’t outside the typical “book” of how to write a TV show.

KeymasterReally though, Emma’s mind automatically went to “date” when Neal said he wanted to talk.
Emma, you’re still not good at hiding how this man makes you feel…

top ten reasons for why you love swanfire 🙂
Ooh! Hmm. In no particular order:
- It’s a tragic love story (I love me some angst!)
- It’s poetically beautiful (boy Dark Curse was made for meets girl destined to break Dark Curse)
- That they’re actually kindred spirits (lost boy and lost girl)
- They make a good team (both in the past and the present)
- The simplest of things have always mattered most to them (family and home)
- Their constant separations (strange, I know. But it really does make good drama. What good is a love story if it doesn’t overcome hurdles and challenges at every turn? Plus, each separation just means another reunion 🙂
- How real they feel to me as a viewer. Their shortcomings. Their fear overtaking them at times (Neal’s fear of rejection, Emma’s fear of being hurt again)
- The way they smile at each other (Their huge, big, unguarded smiles in the past, and their guarded smiles in the present)
- How quickly they fell in step with one another after their first reunion. The trust they have in each other. How they got each other’s back.
- The mementos they’ve kept that reminded them of the other even a decade later.

OMG. All of that! That match my list exactly. I think I would also add how comfortable they are around each other. Even post-cave confession, they sit next to each other. prepare to go off to Dark Hollow together. They’re team, always.

Yep, not to mention how Emma says, “now let’s go get our son back!” I love that Emma, Neal and Regina put the interests of their son first, ahead of themselves, as any loving parents automatically would do. That is real love in action!
