So, perhaps with every story the fundamental stories occur over and over with every book. After all, we have hundreds of variations of Cinderella. Even Once took the Clorinda and Tisbe from the Italian version of Cinderella. Does that mean there are dozens of Evil Queens, Captain Hooks, Prince Charmings, etc. running around? That would be the implication, yes. Well, that would explain why there are so many different Prince Charmings in fairy tales. XD

I think they would just go something simpler like these two people share the same story because of extremely similar circumstances. They separated Sleeping Beauty into Briar Rose and Aurora and The Little Mermaid into Ariel and Ursula, not to mention separate Ursula into three different characters; Regina, the goddess Ursula, and season 4 Ursula. Unless, that's what Eskaver is talking about and I just didn't get it. I think Esk was kind of refering to that. In that the same story (or at least a similar story) repeats over at various times in FTL.
