    How is this cliche? Is this sorta thing happening a lot? Are there legions of women out there who were magically reported to another world where they met the son of the Dark Sorcerer and then had a real life wooden man break them up to fulfill destiny?

    LOL! I have to admit, that on the surface it sounds completely absurd! “You left me because Pinocchio told you to?” sounds like the kind of excuse a man comes up with when he’s gone crazy, is an absurd liar (irony), or is on an acid-trip! How can CS fans continue to perpetrate the idea that Emma would have understood or believed Neal if he’d tried to tell her the truth about fairytales? Something tells me that Miss Skepetical would not have believed Neal, a grown man. The only reason Emma even stuck around for Henry is that she thought he was a kid who confused fantasy with reality. Yet, it took Henry’s asymptomatic “death” from a poisoned apple for a rational woman like Emma to believe in the possibility of curses. I think Emma, who grew up in our world, would’ve thought Neal had gone mental, just as Alice’s father thought she was crazy in “OUAT in WL.”

    Speaking of “cliche” Schmacky said this Some language things so I linked it

    From the article that RG mentioned (edited for language):

    Emma and Neal fell in love, were probably each other’s first love. But over a decade has separated them. They’ve both had relationships since being with one another. I for one like that one of the love stories on this show be about reuniting with an old love. I’ve made mention before that they have so many different types of romantic love stories. First love and last love (David & Snow), an age gap (Rumple and Belle), second loves (Regina, Robin, Hook with whomever they end up with).

    There is no other couple, as of yet, that would be a first love separated by YEARS to only return to one another besides Emma and Neal. Their story is unique in OUAT because it would be the story of two people falling back in love with each other.
    And what’s wrong with that? What is so horribly cliched about that?

    There is nothing cliche about Emma and Neal being each others’ first loves, being separated by outside circumstances, and yet reuniting again (repeatedly)! How many real-life stories do you know that start and end like that? I don’t know of any! If anything, no one I know in real life actually started out as true love, separated, and then ended up together! I’ve read about such real-life scenarios happening, but I can count them on one hand! That’s exceedingly rare in the real world! If anything, it’s much more commonplace for people not to marry their first loves in this day and age. Hardly any high-school sweethearts, or college sweethearts for that matter, actually end up together in the long run! PLus, we already have an example of first love not being true love in the case of Regina potentially getting together with Robin Hood after the death of her first love! We have yet to see a couple who loved each other, but who were separated due to self-sacrifice, actually end up together! (I’m not counting Rumbelle, since Rumple had love interests before Belle, nor am I counting Snowing, who didn’t actually sacrifice each other, but were married at the time of the curse). Emma and Neal’ story is a completely unique and original, new, and real-life fairytale.

    Not only does Neal want second chance according to Gold so does Emma because the look on her face.  

    YES! And everybody knows that Rumple has the gift of foresight! He probably has already seen that Neal’s second chance at happiness will be be with Emma and Henry!

    “There is no place like Home.”  

    How fitting that the show is about to go to Oz!!! I’d love to see Neal herocially save his father (whom I predict is in Oz), and for Emma to go after Neal, her home! 🙂

    And even when she doesn’t remember the past 2 years, Emma Swan does what she always does: subconsciously reverts to her true identity and life. As a girl she got her father’s crest tattooed on her. And now, with changed memories, she is living in the city where she found Neal again, waking up at 8:15 (a total SF family thing that is, by JMo’s own admission, not a coincidence), and playing the song that introduced us to Nealfire.

    Precisely! Emma and Neal are meant to be! Even though a curse once separated them, we can also flip that statement on its head and say that if it hadn’t been for the original curse, Emma and Neal never would have met. Emma and Neal are no ordinary love in the sense that fate and destiny brought the together! In other words, Adam and Eddy have planned from the conception of the show that Neal, the reason for the dark curse, would meet and fall in love with Emma, the savior of the curse! It’s poetical, and Adam confirmed via Twitter that that’s exactly what they were going for! Not only have Emma and Neal been planed since S1, but in the official podcast for Manhattan,  they said that their story is about showing how two people who love each other but were separated can work it out! If you don’t believe me, listen to the official podcast for 2×14 for yourselves! Emma and Neal may hit road-bumps, fake-fiancees, portals, pirates, and curses, but no matter what, destiny brought them together in the first time and destiny (aka Adam and Eddy) will bring them together again!. *Believe in Second Chances!!!!!!!!!* Plus, if Neal doesn’t deserve a second chance, then NOBODY does, because Neal has a heart of gold (as does Henry). Neal sacrificed his own happy ending for the sake of everybody else getting a happy ending! No one deserves a happy ending more than Neal and Emma!

    Just a lost little girl…” “you were a lost boy…”

    *Believe in Second Chances!!!!! *  From Tumblr

     

    In case that there were any doubt, Rumple just confirmed that Neal’s second chance isn’t with him but with Emma and Neal! Neal point blank said in 3×3 that Henry and Emma are all he’s got and that they’re his second chance!  They are his happy ending, just as he is theirs! Can there be any doubt that Neal, Emma and Henry are a family? As Henry said, Henry’s family “always finds each other”! And Neal said to Emma that if there’s one thing he knows about her, it’s that she doesn’t stop until she finds what she is looking for! And what has Emma always been searching for? A home! And who does Emma consider to be her home? NEALFIRE!!!!!

    A Oncer can dream! But here’s a vid that I wish someone can make an Emma and Neal video to anyone’s All I Want For Christmas! Just listen while you look at any of your Swanfire Christmas themed pics!

    Michael Buble + Maria Carrie = HOLIDAY GOLD!!!! Perfect for Swanfire and the holidays! And let’s not forget Emma Swan’s and Neal Cassidy’s dream of a Happily Ever After.

    Emma: Are you sure this is what you really want?

    Neal: What I really want  is you.

    *Melts into a puddle of SF feelings!* Please, let this dream come true, Santa! *Believe in second chances!!! *

    So many lovelies–but I think Neal looks cold in the snow drop background, brrrr

    You’re right! He needs his scarf! Viola! I’m not sure what it is about guys and scarves, but it’s a highly underrated accessory for men! 🙂

    Here’s another song suggestion for some talented people able to make fan videos for SF. It’s Plumb’s Real Life Fairytale. It would be fitting since Emma said in the pilot: “I’m not in any stories. I’m a real person.” Emma grew up in our world, as did Neal, and yet both are from the Enchanted Forest. Their story is a real-life fairytale!
