Sleeping Beauty- Either Disney-esque with maleficent and Flora,Fauna and Merryweather (focus on their rivalry with Maleficent) or original,with ogre mother-in-law and all (you know,in original story, Briar Rose has daughter and calls her Aurora, and son Day).

Cora as Queen of Hearts-how she rose from nobody to nightmare.

Camelot-Merlin vs Rumple and Morgan Le Fey ( original good or  confusing morality aligment,not normal evil one,that's her sister Morgause) and Lady of Lake (Please do not make her Siren).

Fates-Whenever  Moirae of Greek,Norns of Norse or Sudice of Slavic mythology,maybe all.

Baba Yaga- She is just too much interesting not use.I hoshe won't be another sorceress, but primordial pagan goddess (her true identity, but she got demonised by Christians). Given her status as Devil's grandma, and since Devil like all angels,even fallen, is refered as son of God,she may be God's mother-in-law.Explains her hate of blessings and makes her his equal.

Blue Fairy's backstory- So much open ways to go. Hello,Reul Ghorm,creature of night,original power, soldier's tale? She sounds as powerful as Ursula at least, and if this is true what is said about her,I would place her as high as Nyx or forces of nature.Maybe she was classic fae,but loved humans that came to Enchanted Forest (after she created it) and not even Seelie Court was benevolent enough for her taste, so she and few other fey became solitaries and founded modern image of fairies, by time taking souls of humans that couldn't fit nor in Hell or Heaven (one of myths about fae) and rescuing human changelings,and her rigidity about rules is because she fears that if they not follow them,they will slip back to old literaly soulless monsters? She mentions it is not fairy's way to lie,and folklore fae can't lie, but are good at twisting words (isn't our way isn't same as can't).It creates problem how she lied about wardrobe,but she may have sent some other once human fairy disguised to whom she trusted, or she twisted words, as Geppetto said that if Pinnochio wasn't allowed to go, he wouldn't make one, and so if it was made, only one person would go in (Emma) while other would be once tree then doll then humna,so technically not person.Or how she  came back from dead if fae havo no soul,but she may loved human truly and gained one,or  since shadows are stolen,effect is different when supernatural creatures are in question.

Fae- They are first of fairy tales and every mythology or folklore has counterpart. Their powers range from Rumplestiltskin's level (levekl of powerful sorcerors,angels and minor gods) and Ursula's (level of archangels,most gods and powerful spirits) to Nyx's( level of powerful gods,forces of nature and eldritch abominations) and to level of God and goddess-form Baba Yaga. Some just live long,others are immortal unless killed, third can only be killed by powerful individuals and last are unkillable.They are monsters that are older than everything else combined,even nothingness and some of them will never dissapear.maybe have war break between Courts,or Courts and gods,and fairies of Storybrook are called to aid them,bound by deal? Their Land is Avalon and maybe Lady of Lake is one of them (Vivian is one of names for faery Lady of Lake).

Midsummer's Night's Dream-Tying with previous,Oberon and Titania as omnipotent rulers of Seelie who along with their Unseelie rivals, Nicnevin (Scottish legends,she is called Hecate of Celts) and Erlking (one poem I can't remember,as well folklore) manipulated series.They are on God's level and immortal,and feared by all fae not only because of their wisdom,power,strenght and manipulativness, but because not only they aren't affected by iron,their mere presence destroys it.They would be overpowered, but that could be solved by them not directly fighting, but manipulating to help heroes. I've heard about fae, I heard elves an dwarves are types of fairies (ironic how Leory and Nova couldn't be together) but what type of fairies are the ones with wings and look like humans, are those just modern protyals of fairies
