I AM NOT an expert on anything, and I am not calling either ship endgame This just an analysis of the Swanfire relationship

 

Emma, Neal, and Henry are all Once original characters as in they have no fairytale counterpart. They are both however the offspring of other fairytales. This is not an accident or  a coincidence . I see Emma, Neal, and Henry as Kitswitz’s very own babies in the story Swanfire is their attempt of making a fairytale family in modern day it has magic but it based entirely in the modern da. Like Adam Horowitz had said poetic was what they wanted to achieve when they had the savior of the curse fall in love with the reason for the curse. They are the “light and dark”both lost in a world not quite there’s  but still able to find each other-cue the “I will always find you!”

Henry

The blood son of both Emma and Neal. Remember this- “The little guy saved us” even though it was only pretend, for some reason I believe this is important. In multiple ways he has saved them. Henry found Emma who found Neal and therefore  reunited a long broken family. Emma and Neal now are working TOGETHER to saved their son.

Let me make this clear Henry is not my only reason nor is it my strongest for Swanfire. He is simply part of the reason. It would all come full circle to see this family reunited even if his parents do not (for lack of a better term ) hook up they will always be together for him

Symbols of Swanfire

•Dreamcatcher

A Dreamcatcher as Neal refers to them is flypaper for dreams, Emma and Neal’s one good dream was to find a home but were both plagued with so many bad dreams about loneliness and abandonment they found home, Tallahassee with each other it was the flicker of hope in their lives

• Swan key chain.

The biggest swan story in literature is the ugly duckling story. The duckling was lost and never belonged with his kind because he wasn’t duckling but a swan. Finally he flourished  into a beautiful swan and found a home with other swans. Emma and Neal are both ugly ducklings who found each other in this world that isn’t really theirs The Key chain symbolizes a strong connection -chain and discovery -key. They both have an amazingly strong connection to each other and discovered love the ability to love with in them selves which must have been so hard for 2 people who felt unloved by the entire world. If the Key chain ever shows up again and Emma puts it on again its a step closer towards Swanfire

•The Bug

Yellow in modern and ancient literature symbolizes joy and delight. It is also a symbol of Summer therefore yellow, is associated with sunshine. (Also Tallahassee FLORIDA Florida is the sunshine state!) Sunshine symbolizes hope the basis I believe of this relationship

•Tallahassee

1 word- Home

Obstacles

Kitswitz enjoy throwing obstacles at their couples, i.e. Rumbelle, Snowing, ect. With their lost and found then lost again the found again relationship Emma and Neal don’t have it easy either. There are a lot of parallels,  Swanfire IMO is the the perfect balance of Snowing and Rumbelle.

Tamara (The evil taser lady)

Neal loved Tamara, no doubt but she never loved him and never intended on marrying him, had an affair while they were “engaged” and later shot him. And you still expect Neal to love Tamara!?! It took Neal at least 10 years for him to even think of being with some else. Neal tried to love beyond Emma and failed at it miserably. – “I tried to lose myself didn’t work” And even then Tamara and Gold were both able to call him out on his feelings for Emma, which he never EVER let go of.

If Tamara really truly loved Neal and wanted to marry him, this relationship would have more weight. But as someone on Tumblr put it “it was just as real as David and Kathryn minus the attempted murder part” It doesn’t hold much water. Even David and Kathryn had some meaning seeing that they somewhat cared for each other before and after the curse. Tamara couldn’t have cared less about Neal and proved it by shooting him. So who can blame Neal from the crazy murdering women to the only women he truly loved

The Fight for Emma

First of I believe Emma is not prize to win but anyway Neal left Emma 11 years ago broke her heart because she loved him and he was her only home. And it broke his heart because he had loved her and she was his home But Neal saw that Emma’s true faith, she had to save a town full of people from a curse his father created so she could be reunited with her family. And make it home. He also realized he was a pesky thief living out of a car and she was a princess who deserved the world. Which he could never give her So when someone says he never fought for her happiness before that’s not true in this instance he fought his own happiness to save her this not the only instance He saved her. Eleven years later he faced his father for her, a man he would have otherwise blown off. He stepped in front of Emma against Cora. He had to be held back by Emma to save Henry when he wanted to blow up the well He had Emma’s back even though he didn’t believe his fiancé was evil. When the portal open, he stopped she her from falling in which then led to his on fall. He told her to let him go so that Henry wouldn’t be alone, like them. He then WILLINGLY let go of her hand when she refused to let it go. In Enchanted Forest, Neal used the same magic he loathed and had to face his biggest nightmare growing up to get back to his family.  In Neverland, Emma was mourning the memory of Nealfire, realizing how much they truly were alike. And when tells him her secret. He told her he will never stop fighting for her

The Echo Caves also the biggest misnomer ever should have been named The Cry Your Heart Out Cave

This scene is so poetic-Truth paved Emma’s way to Neal Truth destroyed the barriers between her and Neal. It was brutal and heartbreaking it’s was however essential to their healing process- it’s like the cleaning alcohol that you use over a cut before it heals .And that hug, that deep comforting Swanfire hug that made all the fangirls cry

True Love Vs “Love” Love

I believe every one has two True Love’s. One is Soul Mate, your significant other, the other is the kind that is shared by a parent and child. We seen both on Once Upon a Time . True Love is unconditional. No ifs ands or buts. There is never a “Maybe I could love you if…” Nope without any conditions.

Kids love their parents  and vice-versa (for the most part). Even with the biggest of criminals, saying mean things about someone’s parents can will get you killed. Even if the parents are terrible children will always love their parents. Neal loves his dad. Is he angry? Definitely . Pissed off? 100%. Does he REALLY REALLY want to hate Rumple? No doubt. Does he? No way. When it came down to it and Rumple was about to die, he was there at his deathbed and doing all that he could to save him.

Henry loves his mom. Both of them.  Henry loves Emma and Emma would risk the world for him, but Regina’s love is not in question. Her parenting skills? Highly questionable. But her love? Never. And Henry has always been willing to forgive and believe the best- he is the owner of the heart of the truest believer thus he is unwilling to give up on his mother. His love is that of a child. Unconditional. True Love.

Same with the romantic kind. You can love a lot of people. I’ve actually watched both Manhattan and The Miller’s Daugher numerous times. And, Milah loved Rumple, No doubt . It’s clear that she loved him. She didn’t love him unconditionally. Same with Cora, power was more important to her than Rumplestiltskin. Belle, on the other hand, loves him unconditionally it makes their love true

So, Neal and Emma,  personally I think Swanfire is endgame. because their love is unconditional Neal forgave Emma for the confession Emma forgave Neal for leaving her. Does it hurt her? Yes. Does it make her stop loving him? No. I think hooking ( pun intended) up with the bad boy is in her future, yes, but will it last? I don’t think it will because I really think Hook’s True Love was Milah he loved her unconditionally and I think Hook has another future.

That’s my opinion. It’s definitely up for interpretation.

[Twice Upon A Time]

Wow I just can just see Neal be like I risked my life for you guys and you guys conspired to kidnap my son!

[Twice Upon A Time]

I think we can now confirm due to the that it was Neal who yells Emma because the press release says Emma Neal and Hook go find Dark Hollow and the voice didn’t have Colin’s accent either
