Remember how I mentioned I was starting an ongoing AU fic WAY back ago? Well, the upcoming “episode” has our heroes encountering a familiar face, so I felt I should let you guys know. Here’s a script tease from my fic:
Just so you know, you may want to read the previous installments, prior to. But I’ll but a little recap, in a spoiler tag, if you’d rather just read this one.
So, Hook stayed dead after 5A. They never went to the underworld. Yada, yada, yada. Only certain post-510 flashbacks are part of my canon. Anyway, things were calm for about year, until the beginning of Kingdom Hearts happened in Storybrooke, and more shenanigans ensued, necessitating Henry and Emma to travel back in time to retrieve some artifacts (if you’re familiar with the game, I used the name Gummy parts, as a little nod). They eventually found them, the last one being “Under the Sea,” but when they surfaced, they were captured by our least favorite pirate. Oh, and Kairi’s traveling with them, because I wanted to give her something to do, unlike the game.
Speaking of Kingdom Hearts, I’ve been noticing MANY parallels to Dream Drop Distance, with stories coming to halts, magical keys, people diving into other people’s dreams, now they’ve even brought up a Realm of Darkness. Weird coincidence that I’m doing this fic at the same time.
Also, I have been honoring the integrity of OUaTiW. One of my chapters/installments/”episodes” explains what happened to the first Knave. Another resolves some stuff involving Willastasia, the Jabberwock, and Lizard (for my sanity, I’ve moved OUaTiW to take place during 5A (and after S4), in my fic’s canon). A third involves Jafar’s hunt for the bottles, going so far as to lampshade (no pun intended) his recasting.
Now back to our regularly scheduled discussion.
Edit: Wow. I did not expect it to display that big on here.

Yes I also think its grown up Roland.. Wouldnt he be the same age, or like a few years older then Emma?
He should be about three years older than Emma, because of Belle and whatnot.
There’s a very easy answer to why Robin isn’t aged up: the writers don’t want him to be because they need to “finish” OutlawQueen more satisfactorily than the way they did in 5B and in order to do that you can’t have 30ish year old Regina with 60ish old Robin because that’s, in their eyes, unsexy.
Regina should be in her 70s, if she was 46, when she cast the Curse, assuming she’s 18 years older than Snow, and Snow was 28, when the Curse was cast (as on Keb’s timeline, the last I saw it). I’m assuming Robin is about ten years younger than her and had Roland at 33. Of course, present-day stuff gets weird (due to lack of sufficient time skips over long breaks), but if it were 2016, Roland would be 36 by my estimate, the same age I estimate Robin to be during the Curse.
Of course, this is an AU where Dopey died, instead of Stealthy, so…
So is the return date 5.th of March as Matt writes, or 26.th of March as the Tweet says?
March 5th should be the return date, which would be 611. Faran meant that 614 will air on March 26th, which adds up. Still, it’s interesting that he’s returning, cause it could indicate that the Untold Stories do come back into play.
“Untold Stories” will probably remain the overarching story of S6 (even though it appears to be split between EQ and Gideon), not unlike how S4 (despite being split between SQ and QoD) had the overarching story of the Author. S3 and S5, of course, did not have overarching stories, which is interesting, because I noticed parallels between 3B and 5A and 3A and 5B, setting-wise.
Question: I know I’m not the only one who caught The Dragon mentioning a daughter in Once Upon a Time Episode 8. Have the showrunners said anything lately about when Lily and Maleficent will be back? Or whether Emma will keep her promise to help Lily find her father? —Sabrina
Ausiello: In a word, “No,” that Dragon (played by Tzi Ma) has nothing to do with the mystery of Lily’s father, the series cocreators confirmed for Matt Mitovich. “We had high hopes” to revisit that story in Season 6, Eddy Kitsis shared, “but we just won’t get to it.”
In other words, they wrote line intending it to refer to Lily, but actress availability prevented them from being able to expand upon it. That’s my guess, at least.
–The Black Fairy took Gideon. Soooo, she’s the next Big Bad. On the one hand, cool. On the other, Jafar is…doing what? His point this year was…what?
To destroy our Wonderland dreams.
Anyone get the sense that this Dark Realm is like the antithesis of Neverland? The way Rumple described that anything is possible there is like how Malcolm said that anything was possible in Neverland. The main difference is that instead of time standing still, time apparently moves faster. I guess it furthers the comparisons between Rumple’s parents.
I was getting that, too. Yeah.
