Ok, random thought. How about a variation of the Charles Dicken's classic, "A Christmas Carol". The scenes for the Past could include many of the previous people, including Neal, Milah, Pan, Marian, etc. Present and Future would be based logically on the character.

And have the "Scrooge" character be Rumple. and  (assuming Michael Raymond James is avaialable) have Neal be Marley. Ghost of Christmas Past is Blue, Christmas Present is Anton, and Ghost of Christmas Future is Killian.

I think it would work, plus Dickens is definitly classic Literature and would fit with the show's overall concept. This could also work as a plot device of sorts that finally gets Rumple to change his spots and really start being the good guy.
