When I hear of the headless horseman, i just think back to when Cora cut off Jefferson's head and he was still alive. What if he shows up in the Wonderland story as someone who survived the Queen of Hearts but lost his head and serves as the Red Queen's huntsman or something.

Actually, that might be kind of kool if, since the classic OUaT is getting crowded with Neverland, Enchanted Forest and LWM, we could include LWC in the wonderland story. Maybe Alice escapes to the LWC for a bit and the Red Queen sends the Headless Horseman to capture her. I love the idea that the Headless Horseman was 'created' in Wonderland.

What would be cool (as a back-story) is if a LWC resident (perhaps even Ichabod Crane himself? OUaT loves this sort of thing, think Red/Wolf) somehow travelled to Wonderland or was even summoned by the Red Queen or Cora (as the Queen of Hearts) herself. If it was in Cora's time perhaps she sought him out because he had stumbled upon some information that could lead her to LWM. When he refused to help or had trespassed or something that would invoke the Queen's rage, she cut off his head and insisted she would keep it until she was satisfied that the Horseman had done her bidding.

This kind of storyline would be perfect if Barbara Hershey only wanted to make a 1 episode appearance for Once Upon a Time in Wonderland.
