Emma + Baelfire = Swanfire

[Slurpeez]

People can say all they want about how all the characters on this show want to find their home (aka, the theme for S3B) but NO ONE ELSE on this show has suffered more in trying to find their families and their homes than Emma & Neal. NO ONE.

I fully agree! Two lost children. Two orphans find a home in one another. It’s a beautiful story which A&E have expressly stated at being the story of Emma and Neal.

“I think what we love so much about Emma and Bae,is that they’re two people who grew up in similar ways without a family and with walls around their hearts and so I think they were each other’s loves and for us what’s interesting is why did they move on? What happened? And what happens now and tomorrow’s definitely going to be a part of all that.”- Eddy

A lost boy and lost girl, just trying to get to their happy ending in a tiny yellow bug.

A simple one before bed, his face is more beautiful than pie.. and I love pie.

This is beautiful! Welcome to the SF forums! 😀

Whew! What a long day of work! Just got caught up with the threads here. Man oh man, I can’t wait for this hiatus to be over!!! It’s fried my nerves so much, I think I may have scars for life. This may be the worse hiatus I’ve experienced. I don’t believe in the doom and gloom of you-know-what to you-know-who, but it’s annoying that EVERYONE ELSE TELLS ME TO BELIEVE IT. Spoilers, the media, tumblr, etc… blah! Sorry I don’t mean to be a debbie downer, it’s just one of those days. I think I am truly over this hiatus. As always all of your SF posts warms my heart, and eases the pain. 🙂 And some things popped into my brain that I wanna write it down before I forget…

I still believe in my gut that deep down Emma still wants to be with Neal. Even on a subconscious level. We get a lot symbolism of Swanfire in the end of 3×11. Between Emma choosing to live in New York rather than Boston and having Charlie’s Girl song playing as she wakes up, (the very song that Neal plays in the opening of 2×01) plus we’ll see the dreamcatcher again in 3×12, and not to mention the recent pics of Emma wearing a second necklace that strongly implies she’s got the swan keychain back it’s clear that Emma will always have an attachment to Neal.

I think their love for each other is strong enough that it transcends even with a memory wiped version of Emma. Maybe in her subconscious mind, the experiences with Neal in NY creates a desire to stay in New York with her son. Just like a memory wiped David in season 1 woke up from his coma and immediately sought out the thing that tied him and Snow together which was them meeting for the first time in the forest, so his subconscious brought him back to the woods after his cursed self woke up. Emma saw Neal again for the first time in 10 years in New York, so subconsciously her mind took her there.

Also like everyone said Hook has been getting an easy go at things with Emma and Henry. I don’t believe Hook would do anything that would potentially harm Emma but I wouldn’t put it past him to do something shady to EVERYONE ELSE. He is Hook after all. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, there’s just something that’s off with him being able to get to our world and not anybody else. And we can’t forget the fact that he is a villain. Yes, we’ve seen him help Emma rescue Henry and David but he hasn’t truly gone through the test of redemption on the level that Regina and Rumple has. And we must remember that Regina and Rumple both had relapses in turning evil again. Regina was so desperate to get Henry back so she turned to magic again and allied herself with Cora, trying to kill Emma and the Charmings. And Rumple turned dark again so he can have Belle/Lacey beside him and almost killed Henry just to preserve his own life. So Hook’s test of redemption is upcoming. I won’t be surprised that A&E will make Hook go through what Regina and Rumple went through. Hook may be sooo desperate to get Emma by his side that he might just ally with WW, because she can promise him a true happily ever after with Emma. One that Pan couldn’t give. WW doesn’t particularly have a beef with Emma and Henry (as far as we know) so Hook can sail off into the sunset with them. In the case of Pan, he basically wanted Henry which Emma will never allow so Hook knows Emma would never forgive him if they left Henry behind in NL. We’ll just have to wait and see won’t we…

Excellent point! Cursed David went to the toll bridge, which was really the troll bridge where he and Snow found true love. Cursed Emma being in NYC because that’s where Neal’s home is totally makes sense! Thank you for that lovely reminder. 🙂

R-eblogging for reasons. It’s been brought up time after time in S3 that Neal is the person Emma loves. I wonder why that is. Could it be, gasp, because Neal is the man Emma truly loves?

“I am really secretly glad they finally admitted their love, even if it was like right before the moment he was ripped away.” – Estelle
“Seeing Emma say I love you to somebody is very powerful and to see that connection between the two of them was very powerful.” Eddy
“Even if it had to come at the most tragic moment in his life.” – Adam (from the Second Star To The Right podcast)

Gosh, I really miss Estelle and her amazing podcast. Why oh why did ABC end it? Could it possibly be because she was so pro-Neal and pro-SF? *sigh*
