I like the idea of someone (maybe a prince from another realm) having a history with Snow and/or David, and having an eye for Snow. That part makes sense. and has a good start for a fan fic story.

But I would leave Crazy Z and the Time Portal out of the equation.

Try this. The neighboring prince was invited by Regina (The Evil Queen) as a means of marrying Snow White out of the Kingdom. This would have occurred prior to Regina killing King Leopold, and would likely have had Leopold's blessing. The backstory is on the relationship between Regina and the Prince, and Snow and the Prince. Rumple is the one that interferes with the relationship, knowing that he needs Snow figures into his plans for getting to Bae.

Modern TIme, the Prince approaches Regina to seek help in getting to Snow, and Regina (now more hero than villain) refuses.

Take it from there and see where that leads you.
