And indeed I love him very much.
I think from Neal pov he would want his family to have happiness and not waste away. So yes they will get a bitter sweet happy ending and they will continue to live their lives. So I do wish his family to find happiness in life but give honor and respect to memory of Nealfire.
But seeing how things are going I doubt that will occur.

My thoughts on the subject is that that some characters will have a bitter-sweet happy ending. Realistically that’s what most of us get bitter-sweet happy endings. Especially if you live to good old ripe age. You watch love ones past away, you experience hardship and tragedy but there are so joys and accomplishments.
But what is a happy ending in life, because up to the moment you are living, so if its ending is that happy? Perhaps its not a happy ending, but a joyous and content life that ends with a person acceptance of the things that happen and didn’t happen. Perhaps in the end a person says I had good life, I love and was loved.
Will Rumple, Emma, Henry, and Belle find happiness and should they? Yes, but it would bitter sweet, for Rumple the most because honestly who ever gets over the lost of a child.
But I fully believe that Rumple, Emma, Henry (if he makes it to season 4), and Belle will get their happy ending of a home, family, and love. I think in time Neal will be a whisper of a memory, only spoken by fans, and maybe once in a blue moon by Rumple where he doesn’t mention him by name, but refers to him as “my boy.” (Oh yeah he did have son right, who was he again, Henry’s father or uncle, oh well)
Anyway I digress, so yes the live should continue to live and get their happy ending, because Neal…Bae in his selfless nature would never wished for them to give up their lives or happiness for him. As matter of fact his ghost will rise up and knock some sense in the lot of them with his sass and fire them all up to get out there live life, love each other and be a family gosh darn it. Neal was good, no great person like that!
"I will be kind but I will speak my mind."
I don’t buy into Neal’s death being a realistic portrayal of our world, nor more than I believe it was bold story telling (come on kill the supposedly least popular third of a love triangle and least popular character in the fandom is a bold story choice, in the words of Emma Swan, Seriously)
Nor do I think it represent the dark side of fairy tales which is another one I hear often. I’m no expert nor do I pretend to be but i know my classic fairy tales . Yes they were dark, particularly the Brother Grimm series, and bloody, but in the end they good guys/gals overcome the hardship/suffering to win in the end while the villains are punish in the worst way possible.

Neal and Henry would have made a wonderful team!!!
I longed to see more of their interactions.

Okay, beyond being a giant ball of sadness, Quiet Minds was also like one giant here’s why i love Neal Cassidy manifesto for me, and this moment is really important to me and I need to talk about it.Here’s what’s going on: Neal just showed up out of nowhere in the woods, collapsed on the floor of his father’s shop, can’t remember the past year or what he did, including an ominous scary mark on his hand and how he got it, and the father he just watched die is apparently alive and missing. So:
1. Neal’s first thought is immediately about the son he can’t remember fighting to get back to. Because the one constant about Neal Cassidy since the moment he found out he hada son is that Henry is the first thing, the most important thing. Because so much of this episode, about Neal’s entire arc since Manhattan, has been about his desire to be a better father to Henry than he ever had. And I have plethora of problems with how they chose to let that play out, but the important part to me? Neal loves Henry more than anything and Henry is always always always first.
2. He actively recognizes Henry and Emma had a whole life without him. He’s had, what, five minutes to process that a whole year passed? Emma and Henry have memories together that he’s not going to be a part of. They had a whole year of reality, and in that first gif—he’s letting it sink in that he missed another whole year of his son’s life— he’s probably taller now, more of a teenager, likes and dislikes a whole new set of things and Neal missed all of it— and I’m sure that absolutely wrecks him. He wants to see him. But he’s not going to push. He’s not going to force his way in as Henry’s father in whatever thing the two of them have going— he wants to be Henry’s father more than anything, but he knows it’s not just about him. He doesn’t get to slot himself him, but he wants more than anything to work to find his place there.
Neal hasn’t really had a family since he was 14 years old and it’s all he’s ever wanted. He’s capable of making really impulsive decisions when it comes to Emma and Henry. They make him beyond desperate. But there’s a line to that, and what’s so interesting to me is that line is only ever drawn by Henry and Emma’s best interest. He’s willing to do whatever it takes to get back to them, to be there when they need and want, but on their terms. Because his love for Henry and Emma is about Henry and Emma, not about how badly he needs them.
neal cassidy, ultimate family man who never got a chance to be a family man my tears could fill oceans goodbYE.

To be honest most of us knew it was neal. but we hope to be wrong. And we rather buy into happy endings, hope, second chances and all that jazz they wanted to sell. Because he want to believe your fave will die. But that hope that lost boy would get a happy ending kept me watching. That hope is gone now and so is the thrill.

He drowns in his dreams
An exquisite extreme I know
He’s as damned as he seems
And more heaven than a heart could hold
And if I try to save him
My whole world would cave in
It just ain’t righthttp://cassidyswan.tumblr.com/post/81780836422/he-drowns-in-his-dreams-an-exquisite-extreme-i

So it is the most wonderful anonymousnerdgirl ‘s birthday today and as she requested some fan fiction here is a small Swanfire fluffy fic. I hope you enjoy.
[text] Emma, something has happened. We need you at the church. ASAP
Emma glanced at the text sent by her father confused. He wasn’t the type to send a text message if it was something important. ‘Unless…he couldn’t text me!’ She quickly shifted from the desk at the sheriff’s department and ran to her little yellow bug. A thousand thoughts rushed through her head. Everything had just calmed down now something else. It was always something else. “One damn day, that’s all I want.”
Reaching the church she quickly rushed to the large chapel doors pulling her gun out of its holster along the way. She pushed the heavy wooden doors open and froze. ‘What the hell is going on?’
The chapel was filled with the faces of family and friends all smiling at her. The aisle was covered in fresh rose petals varying in hues of pink and red. They led up to where the pulpit normally stood. In it’s place was a chair. Sitting on that chair with the bright smile he sat wearing a simple black waste coat and tie, white shirt with sleeves rolled up to the elbows, and black slacks. His shoes were still the same brown boots he was so found of wearing. In his arms was a black acoustic guitar. “When did he learn to play that?’
She was still in shock when she felt a tug at her sleeve. “Mom, put the gun down.” She looked down and saw Henry. He was also dressed in a suit. She nodded and slowly put the gun in it’s holster. “Henry, what is going on?”
“Follow me.” He pulled at her to follow him up the aisle. She wanted to protest but Henry wasn’t having any of it. He got behind her and started pushing her forward towards the front pew. “Alright alright. I am going.”
She took a seat and Henry sat to her right, holding her hand tightly. She gave him a weak smile. “This is about to happen isn’t it?”
Henry smiled at her. He looked so much like his father when he did that.
Neal began to strum on the guitar. “Emma, this is for you.” He slowly began to play out a familiar tune. It was the song they heard on their first date after all these years. They had been eating dinner at the diner when John Legend’s voice began to play from the jukebox there. The words were unfamiliar to her but Neal had sat there and sang it in front of everyone eating dinner and now he was doing it again.
As he got to the chorus he stood up and slowly started walking towards her. “’Cause all of me loves all of you. Love your curves and all your edges. All your perfect imperfections. Give your all to me. I’ll give my all to you. You’re my end and my beginning.” His eyes never left her. He wasn’t the young thief she met all those years ago. There he stood. The man who put her ahead of himself, loved their son with all his heart, had worked so hard to support her through all this savior stuff. He had been going slow for her. Never pushed her. This was the man she loved more than anything except for Henry.
Tears began to form in her eyes. ‘I can’t believe this is happening.’ She looked at her lap nervously. Henry gave her another comforting squeeze on her hand and whispered “Breathe mom. Just breathe.”
As Neal slowed his strumming she heard the sound of several more guitar. She looked up again to see Mr. Gold and Robin had taken over playing as Neal got down on his knee in front of her. He leaned in close to her giving a reassuring smile. “You okay?”
“Neal, are you sure you want to do this?”
“What? Reveal that I know how to play the guitar?”
She chuckled a bit through her tears. He shot her a quick wink and a kiss on the forehead. “Emma Swan, I am not a perfect man. I have made so many mistakes but you still loved me anyways. I wasn’t sure I should do this just yet but your dad and Henry gave me permission so here I am on my knees asking you the scariest and most wonderful question ever. Emma Swan, wi-” before he could finish Emma crashed her lips against his. As she pulled away she whispered “Yes.” Neal’s eyes began to form tears as well. Before he could say anything though Henry chimmed in “SHE SAID YES IN CASE YOU ALL DIDN’T HEAR THAT!” They both looked at Henry and pulled him close so all of their foreheads were touching.
The chapel filled with applause. As the three pulled back Neal gently placed the simple solitaire diamond ring on Emma’s hand. The crowd had gathered closer. All the girls were cooing over the ring and the men giving Neal hearty hugs. Finally Belle and Snow, who had waited for the crowd to part, rushed in embracing the two. “We are so happy for you guys. Belle found a ton of wedding magazines and we have so much planned already. The ball, the tuxes, of course you get to choose your ball gown an-” before Snow could finish David put his hand on her shoulder. “We can worry about that later dear. Let’s leave them alone to celebrate for a bit. Come on Henry, everyone, drinks at Granny’s on Rumplestiltskin!” Rumplestiltskin shot David a look but Belle patted him on the shoulder. “Don’t you dare protest Rumple. Let’s go.”
Everyone slowly moved their way out of the chapel until Emma and Neal stood their alone.
“You sure you want to do this Neal? I am the savior and a princess. My life will never be quiet.”
“Have our lives ever been quiet?”
“Good point.”
“I love you Emma.”
“I love you to Neal.”
The stood embracing and kissing one another for a bit longer before they headed towards the diner. On their way out the chapel doors Emma thought to herself ‘It may not be Tallahassee…but this is home. It is exactly where I want to be.’
