I don't want them to mess with that and make "the Saviour" a job like they did "the Author".

A way I could see this storyline going is that the spell Rumpel used to make Emma into the Saviour was an old spell that has been used by others in the past. But that would've required Aladdin to be the child of a True Love couple (And that is pretty rare...)

I mean, besides Snowing, Swan Believer, Rumbelle, regal Believer, Hell Witch, Philora, Elsanna and Ruby Slippers, we don't have any confirmed True Love couples. I wouldn't mind them introducing a new one, but I hate seeing True Love being trivialized. Literally everyone in the main cast has had confirmed true love - with Emma, Henry, and Regina having had two each. It might be "rare" but there's an abnormally high population amongst our Storybrooke residents. So that said, Emma being the product of true love probably doesn't have much to do with her being the savior. (There might be retconning but we've seen in the past that the writers aren't above that.)
