Henry and August can be explained. In the wish realm, the curse never happened and they are now roughly 30 years past that time. When the curse would have happened, Emma was a newborn and Pinocchio (who we know as August) was a young child. So they are the right ages now in a realm 30 years after the curse that didn't happen. Henry was never affected by the curse. Somehow Baelfire/Neal ended up back in the EF so Heny could be conceived and they didn't explain that, but Henry is the right age too. Snow and Charming have also aged 30 years. Who isn't the right age is Robin and the Sheriff of Nottingham who didn't age at all and that was never explained either.

So much of this is unexplained

sniff but that is still so sad

It is sad. I'm always going to wish this story had been given more of chance.

Sorry DP

Definitely sad. And moving and the reason I like it is because it shows Robin in spirit form, always there. Not destroyed like in canon.

I really will miss what could have been.

That is bittersweet and so sad!!

The reunion we should have gotten. This was probably the best scene they had in 4b and it was a dream.

It's a beautiful edit..

I wasn't shipping OQ in season 5 anymore and I felt they did not know what to do with Robins○s character anymore so his death maybe would not be THAT hard to accept fro me but I HATED HATED he was obliterated...There was no reason for it... Why someone like Cora goes in heaven and Robin doesn't have even chance to be reunited with his family one day? It was just so unnecessarily cruel...

By s5, there wasn't much left of OQ unfortunately. With the exception of 5x02, which I liked for them (aka. It was a one episode plot that had focus on them for a change; not Zelena + baby) - s5 was more of Zelena and the baby. It bothered me because I felt like Regina was side-lined and her role consisted of championing for Robin's fatherhood rights when I could care less, lol. That is how much I detested that baby storyline.

I wasn't sure where to put this (some other places have a thread dedicated to fanfiction) but I'll link it here since there is OQ and both Regina & Robin appear. This was very clever - it's a OUAT fanfic in Instagram form with all the characters chatting via. Instagram. That is how the fanfic plays out and while I haven't gotten through all of it, so far what I read, has me cracking up. It reads almost like a OUAT parody. I think if you actually download the app for the aite, you can see the characters Instagram account pictures.

Yeah Robin was pretty much non-existent in season 5 after 5x02. There were a few scenes where he was standing around supporting Regina or holding the baby, but they gave him nothing to do. He and Regina barely spoke to each other most of the season and the little they got was always about Zelena and the baby. Regina had some story and interaction with other characters, but looking back now, it should have been obvious to me early on in season 5 that Robin wouldn't survive the season.

Thanks for the fanfic. I don't have instagram, but maybe I can find another way to see everything. Is the part where it says "Emma's 7th post" the beginning or is there more before that?

This definitely should have been the reunion but sadly it was just a dream.

Sherry, you don't need Instagram to see it, they wrote the fanfic in Instagram form. Emma's starts it, yes, and then you continue by clicking next page. Wattpad is the fanfic site, if you download the app itself, the pics show up.

ETA: I just discovered when I used the drop down menu to go to the next chapter|page ... I can see the pics they use. For example, in Robin's second post, he is using a picture of himself & Regina. Will has a pic of the Red Queen on his etc.
