In OUATinWL, Cyrus said, “You know they say that sacrifice is the measure of true love? And I would sacrifice anything for you.” He had the good fortune of Alice not having a destiny to fulfill, which meant he did everything he could to keep them together. I was also reminded of Snowing’s conversation in “Dark Hollow” how love means being together, but it also means sacrifice. Plus, I was reminded of what Eddy and Adam said in the official video podcast “Who’s Baelfire?” regarding Nealfire and the sacrifice he made:
“When you really love somebody, you just want to be with them. And to have to deny that is hard to yourself, and it’s also hard because he knew he was going to break her heart. So the fact that he would add to the pain that he was trying to take away is really hard to live with. He understands that this destiny is important for her, and he can’t be in the way, and that is, that is really a self-sacrifice that I think he regrets everyday.” – Adam and Eddy
He gave Emma up, not because he didn’t love her, but to get her home. If sacrifice is the measure of true love, then Neal and Emma have it. Emma didn’t understand that when Neal walked away from her, he wasn’t abandoning her out of cruelty, but was giving up his own happy ending to get her home.

Great photo of Sean and Lana! I’m looking forward to seeing Regina and Robin’s first meeting on screen.

Regina: If this cursed gets activated a second time, everyone will die.

I just found a beautiful SwanFire video from S3 clips on Tumblr. I couldn’t find it on youtube to embed, so you have to watch on the actual site.

Actually, Phee, I just looked at the Wikipedia Entry for Brothers Grimm fairytale “The Golden Bird” and I noticed a link on the page to the very similar, almost identical, Russian fairytale “Tsarevitch Ivan, the Fire Bird, and the Gray Wolf”!
The entry also cites:A similar variant fairy tale of French-Canadian origin is “The Golden Phoenix” collected by Marius Barbeau, and retold by Michael Hornyansky. It follows the hero Petit Jean, the youngest son of the King, who discovers the thief of his father’s golden apple to be a golden Phoenix, a legendary bird. “

Was just listening to the podcast and they mentioned that once again, when we saw the text in the Book in the most recent ep, it was The Golden Bird, and how pretty much every time we see text in the book it’s either The Golden Bird, or Snow White and Rose Red, and I know I’ve seen that discussed in the past whenever there’s been a shot of the Book text in the show, and I’ve always thought it was odd but didn’t really think too much about it. But this time my brain instantly went to A PHOENIX IS A GOLDEN BIRD! Then I got all sorts of SwanFire feels because their story is such an integral part of the over all story, so no wonder they almost always default to showing a story that references a GOLDEN BIRD, (and yes I know that that particular story isn’t actually about a phoenix, I’m just saying, the symbolism caused me to have a moment).
I had a similar thought when I heard the podcast, too! Who knows if it actually is a clue about the Fire Bird, but it would be an excellent tie-in if it were! Also, I have to wonder about the symbolism of names (i.e Phoenix, AZ, Tamara = Palm Tree, BaelFIRE, Emma SWAN). These things seem deliberate to me!
