Board Thread:Fanon: Season 8 & Beyond/@comment-35957557-20180702181508

Hi everyone, this is a rebranding of my version of season 8, where I'm expanding on my ideas. Sort of a repost of my previus version.

Season 8 picks up 2 years after the Realms are united, but the peace has become somewhat fragile, with different realms beginning to get in each other's throats, and the outside world has become aware of Storybrooke given that the last curse exposed the town. Once Upon a Time S8: The United Realms stars Regina, the Charmings, and Tiana's kingdom trying to keep the peace. However, new threats from inside and outside Storybrooke begin to arise, and Regina must reluctantly team up with Ivy who offers her assistence so she can atone for her actions.

Once Upon a Time S8: Journey Across the Realms takes place during the same time as the other book, and it stars Robin/Margot, Alice/Tilly, Gideon, and Reul Ghorm aka the Blue Fairy, with Margot as the POV character. It begins when Margot decides to reach out to Roland, her older half-brother who they had a falling out years prior to season 7. Joined by Alice (They are married at this point), the couple leave Storybrooke to venture out into the United Realms in search of Roland, but witness him being kidnapped by Pan's shadow. Alice, has her magic restored and has a hard time controlling them, along her dealing with her "bad days". Meanwhile, Rumple and Belle's son Gideon has studied alchemy, wanting to make a world a better place while still greiving the loss of his parents. However, he learns that his grandpa, Peter Pan from the Wish Realm, has escaped and is preparing to cause trouble again, prompting him to try and warn his family. Reul Ghorm (calling her Blue at this point foreward), has been unhappy with her life for a long time. Since that she played a role in the origin of Rumple becoming the Dark One, she feels like she is guilty of the atrocities that he caused, and steps down from being the leader of the fairies after confessing what she did. Now the disgraced Blue leaves Storybrooke, hoping to start fresh, but is taken away by Wish Pan, who believes that she is the biggest threat to him. Now, the 4 characters are sent away to a corner of the United Realms, and must team up to get back home, save Roland and stop Pan. Along the way, the group helps other fairy tale characters with their problems, battling monsters, bandits and other threats.

My goal for this is to fill in the gaps of season 6-7, mainly the relationship of Margot and Roland and why he was not mentioned in season 7, and also give Blue a much needed backstory because I always thought she was one of the most interesting characters in the show, and wasn't in it much despite her massive role in the story. I also want to explore the people's opinions of the realms uniting, and the consequences. It will also demote Henry, Jacinda and Lucy since they are likely at the island that Jacinda dreamed of going to.

Thanks for reading, I appreciate any feedback, I'm planning on continuing this until I'm burned out of ideas. The other parts will be posted on Reddit:
