Happy GIF bomb time:
This is Rumple’s happy ending summed up in one gif.
The Stiltskin men on Team SwanFire! Add Henry to that group!
What’s interesting about the difference between Neal and Hook in regards to Henry is:
1. Neal actually wants to spend time with Henry because of Henry whereas Hook only spent time with Henry so that he could get in Emma’s good graces.
2. Neal was SHOWN spending time with Henry and would ask after Henry’s well-being whereas Hook does neither.
3. The most important aspect of SwanFire for Neal was that Henry had both parents in his life whereas for Hook the most important aspect of CaptainSwan is Emma being his. (seriously, how many times has Hook described Emma as his whatever? For example, HIS happy ending, HIS reason for staying on the road to redemption, HIS reason for being good, etc).

Keeper of FelixWhat if it was a setup. What if it is Cora masquerading as Blue, or Cora somehow controlling Blue. We saw Cora appear as Blue in The Queen is Dead. There are a lot of similarities between the scenes of Blue with Baelfire and Blue with Snow. The other stories in The Return all involve set ups and deception…Snow was framed and David fell for it…Sidney and Regina were working to set up Emma…Gold was setting up Regina. It would not surprise me if the scene with Baelfire and Blue was a set up.
Cora wasn’t even born at that time.

Keeper of FelixPosting my thoughts on Baelfire being addressed here because it slightly enters SF vs CS territory.
I’m glad they address Baelfire and why he isn’t a part of Rumple’s happy ending. In many ways I think the mistake the writers made with Baelfire, aside from killing him off in the first place, was that after his death they chose to ignore him and the important relationships he had with several of the main characters. They call Neal’s death “bold storytelling” but it wasn’t bold because there was absolutely no follow through afterwards. It’s like they chickened out of dealing with the full ramifications of that event.
I know the decision to kill off Neal is somewhat blamed on the CS ship, and I do think there is a slight bit of truth in that, however, it’s more in the way that the writers seemingly didn’t know how to handle the Swanfire relationship as a platonic one whilst CaptainSwan was happening so they thought it would be easier to kill off Neal to end the love triangle quickly rather than taking the time to let it play out naturally.
I also think that, ultimately, Neal’s death was bad for CS in the long run because Emma never chose which man she wanted to be with. Hook ended up winning by default rather than Emma consciously choosing him over Neal. Evidently the writers chose to go the way of CS, but why not have Emma make that decision? This is why Neal’s death is blamed on CS, because there was no clear decision of Emma’s choice, then after Neal’s death, rather than allowing the characters, and in particular Emma, to acknowledge their loss, the writers seemed too afraid to even mention Neal. It makes CS seem somewhat stilted and also actually builds resentment from fans, not in the shipper sense of “This ship’s happening and I wanted that ship instead”, but in the sense of “Character A was important to Character B and C but now Character B’s storyline seems to be focussed around Character C and vice versa and neither of them are acknowledging the loss of Character A despite how we were told that A was important to B and C.The show is starting to acknowledge Nealfire now, but there is a sense of too little too late. These are feelings, opinions, etc that the characters should’ve expressed earlier in the series not over a season after the fact.

Keeper of FelixSorry, I knew what I was trying to say but went slightly off track, give me a moment to rewrite.

Keeper of FelixMy crack theory is Henry will have to give one of the heroes a happy ending to undo what the author did, so he focusses on Regina’s happy ending. Henry will be the reason OQ probably met in this AU.

Keeper of FelixCrack theory: With Henry having to give the heroes a happy ending to undo the book, but with Snow and Charming too evil in this AU, Henry is going to focus on giving Regina her happy ending. In other words, Henry is going to work to get OQ together in this AU.
