"What I Really Want Is You"

Oohh, nice. If you ever wrote ff. Please tell me. I think will love your stories. It fit in my fantasies so perfectly.

I do actually. Here’s a link to the only OUAT one i’ve done so far but it does focus on Neal and his relationships with just about everyone once he comes back to Storybrooke.

I already knew the story. It is one of my favorites. I love the way you lighten up a serious scene with a joke or hint (Fertilizer, Apple did not potion, but still a warning, Jeff Dunham), or how Belle interacts with Bae and how you think his bad dreams will play out. The character are good written like I would read a original screen. There is nothing out of character, that is often founf in ff. Especially that you forced Baelfire to reviele himself is perfect. The chapter cancer is my favorite, like this I can imagine will happen when he confronts Rumpel. Great work. Please make more of them.

Heros don't get their Happy Ending!

Interesting Idea, but I think that in the show, Emma was talking about love in general. I don’t think she had broken down her walls enough to let Neal back in, especially after he hurt her so bad the first time around. She’s getting better, but you can’t forget that Neal is a big part of the reason she is the way she is. When she was talking about love being a strength she was thinking about MM and Henry, people who never hurt her. Neal’s a bit different.

This is true. Before that moment though, she’d never considered love to be a strength, what happened with her heart was a “holy crap” moment for her just as much as it was for Cora, (loved the way Emma delivered that line). In a way, Cora really did break down Emma’s walls, coz she had to bust a big hole in them with her hand in order to get to her heart. That hole she made in the wall is what allowed Emma’s power to burst out, full force.

I can still see that Emma may be cautious when it comes to starting things up again with Neal, (considering their history), but I think she’ll be more open to the possibility and more willing to take the chance now than she would have been before. Previously, she would have seen giving into her feelings as being something that made her weak, and she’s spent much of her life trying to be tough as nails. But now she realises that giving in to her feelings would be a display of strength instead, so she’d be more willing to try. And given that Neal didn’t instantly go rushing to SB to find her, I think he may be the more reluctant one in the relationship now. We need to see more of the person he’s become and where his head is really at these days. Will be very interesting to see how their dynamic plays out once they meet up again.

I really, really hope that there is more to his absence then just him being afraid. Espenson (or one of the other writers) said that what Neal was doing outside of storybrooke was important or something like that. Maybe the reason he didn’t rush back wasn’t just because he was afraid, but because he couldn’t leave whatever he was doing quite yet.

Yes, I would hope so too. I can understand him being afraid that she wouldn’t want to be with him and/or reluctant to face his father, but given the depth of the love that I believe he has for Emma, I think that would make him at least try to see what happened to her, and if there might be a chance still.

Plus, I agree Jane Espenson made it sound like something outside of Neal was preventing him from getting to Storybrooke already. I just hope it’s not another love interest or him having obligations to some kind of organized crime family or anything along the lines of that. I’m bracing myself for that possibility though.

I have this theory that there’s some sort of small network network outside of SB of people who weren’t cursed helping out. I mean it would be August, Bae (Neal), and maybe some others (Dorthy and/or Alice, perhaps?) working with those inside SB who knew like Jefferson and the Blue Fairy. I mean, am I the only one who remembers the stills from hat trick with August and Jefferson–the same ones the producers are trying to pretend never existed?

I’m not quite sure what this network would be doing now that the curse is broken, but that’s kind of where my mind is headed with this.

[schmacky]

While the idea of a network of FTL characters outside of SB is interesting, it would piss me off if it were true. So, these people know there’s a curse and….. leave everything to a 10 year old boy? If there were other characters that were outside of SB and knew about it, why didn’t anyone go to Emma? Help her? Guide her? Even if they don’t work on her believing, at the very least becoming friends and “oh! Road trip! let’s go for your birthday Emma!” and bam, they’re in Storybrooke.

[faux pax]

But what else could they do? Only Emma could break the curse and I doubt any of them but August knew about Henry… I do see your point though. I guess it would really depend on how it all played out for me to judge if i’d be pissed or not.
