For Regina, I'll throw in a heavy dose of irony. Either she ends up a teacher like Mary Margaret under the first curse, or she ends up the mayor's secretary. I'd put the mayor's secretary as more likely, because I can't see any version of Regina as a teacher. Ever. Plus the secretary is more ironic because it relates to her currently as opposed to the teacher relating more to s1. Like, she's near the top but it's only superficial. She doesn't have any real power, she doesn't have that sense of purpose Regina has always had. She can see the top but never reach it. That, my friends, is how you make Regina miserable.

Hook is involved with the ocean, but he's not ever on the sea. He's the guy who sits in the office and manages the port. I'm assuming this is a seaside town, anyways. Like, he's in charge of all the boating licenses and making sure people park their boats in their assigned spots and all. He's the administrator, basically. Oh, also he get's seasick super easily and hates his job. Thus on his free time he hangs around the bar hitting on girls because he has nothing better to do and is really self-absorbed. Yep. I love my irony.

Gold straight up doesn't have a job. Like I said, he's a hobo who got evicted because he wasn't paying rent because he spent everything on alcohol and gambling. He lost his job because he came in to work late and hung over one time too many. I'd say his job before he was fired was at the grocery store, like one of those guys who goes around restocking shelves or something.

Welp, that's me being super dark again! What do we think? I love it!

I was actually thinking the exact same thing for Regina, about her being a secretary to the mayor. I think it'd be kind of cruel irony considering her position of power in the first curse. She'd be super unhappy and depressed after losing her only son in a car accident when he was a teen (obviously Henry, explaining his disappearence and giving her a reason to believe him and Lucy when they show up in town)

With Hook, I like your ideas for him. I think he would be reclusive and have a job that he absoluetly hates. I would like to see him as more of a geeky and awkward kind of person, instead of the self absorbed ladies man he was before (until Emma, ofc). He would probably be really lonely and lost, constantly hoping to meet the love of his life yet never being able to due to his incredibly bad social skills and this inner feeling of being unsatisfied with everything.

For Gold I imagine him as super powerful and possibly even the mayor, Regina's boss. He would have everything he could ever want, but be extremely unhappy with his life. It would kind of show his struggle throughout the show of always wanting power, yet never being able to get enough of it. Belle would've either left or died at some point, and Gideon would be super opressed by Gold (who's scared of him ending up dead like Belle or Neal Sr.) and shoved into a life he never wanted, so he spends most of his days by the sea where he makes friends with another kid who could be Robin or Neal or a possible child of Hook and Emma (maybe all three, with Lucy added in they could be like the Scooby Doo gang or something idk XD)
