Swan Queen x Snowing - A Game of Parallels

I kept thinking that the little I saw was just a lucky coincidence, but the more I delve into this theory, the more convinced I am that they are, in fact, there. And there’s a lot of them.

We all know Snowing is the kind of destined-to-be-together-since-the-start, star-crossed, what each and every one of us wants kind of romance that is canon and happening and you can never stop it; not like anyone wants to. It is the elementary prototype of an eternal love that will rip out your heart and your ovaries and make them melt and explode, respectively.

We also all know that Swan Queen is nowhere near this initial scheme. Not even close. It’s the rough ([make your own caption]), forbidden and from all conventional angles “wrong” Shakespearean love twist that seems to have no honeymoon phase whatsoever, let alone everlasting, yet we all know it’s going to happen anyway at the end of the book. It’s the kind of partnership that your parents would shake their heads and raise their eyebrows at, desperately trying to talk you out of marriage because you have your whole life ahead of you!

How can there be similarities then, you ask? Children, I think that in order for you to understand better, a story is in order. Sit down, there, good girl. Listen carefully: Once upon a time…

1) Rogue x Authority

…there was a prince [mayor] and a princess cast out of her kingdom and forced to live a hard life of involuntary thievery in the woods [sexiest friendless orphan with no stable income you have ever met].

2) Initial hostility

When the two met for the first time — well — you can definitely say sparks flew, just not exactly the kind of sparks you would expect. They didn’t seem to like one another very much. Sometimes, they even fought.

OMG they’re even in the exact same part of the damn shot!

3) Snarky remarks

Most of the time, however, all they did was argue and make fun of one another.

Snow: “I’m not the jewelry type.”

Charming: “Indeed, I noticed :)”

—-

Regina: “What the hell do you think you’re doing?”

Emma: “Picking apples :)”

[random mid-story comment - omg Emma is so much like her dad, I might cry manly tears]

4) Saving each other’s life

Being forced to cooperate due to the circumstances, they got into trouble; and when they did, it was time to join hands (cough) and work through it together. And when the prince found himself surrounded by evil, evil trolls, the princess, although reluctant at first, came back for him and transformed those monsters into harmless cockroaches with her exquisite magic [dragged the Mayor out of the burning town hall like a boss].

Snow: It was the honorable thing to do.

—-

Emma: That’s what good people do.

5) Being in a relationship at the time of meeting their one true love

When the princess found out the prince was soon to be wed, she felt an inexplicable pang somewhere deep in her chest.

(Author’s Note: Yes, I do consider what Graham and Regina had a commited relationship. Sue me. HER EMOTIONS WHEN SHE KILLED HIM, I JUST CAN’T, THE SORROW, THE ANGST)

6) Taking risks for their children

Nonetheless, it didn’t take too long for them to realize their love for one another, and soon the stork brought them a diamond from the sky, and the diamond turned into a beautiful baby. Alas, evil found its way to them again, and they had to risk everything to protect their family.

7) Finding each other

Sometimes they succeeded, sometimes fate cost them much; but at the end of the day, they would always find one another.

Charming: Wherever you are, I will find you.

—-

Regina: How was your walk with Henry? That’s right, I know everything.

8) Nicknames/catchphrases

And they never lost their little quirks.

Snow: Aren’t you a real prince Charming?

—-

Emma: All due respect, Madam Mayor, the fact that you have now threatened me twice in the last twelve hours makes me want to stay more.

[…]

Regina: He’s fine, dear.

And they lived happily ever after… or did they? ;)

In conclusion, what I’m saying this, however subtle they are, the hints are there — and I’m more than sure there’s more to come. I WILL SINK WITH THIS THESE SHIPS.
