Also, the Lakeside Mansion only appears in Storybrooke after the second curse, so Zelena could have something to do with that. Maybe she tried to bring the Author there with the curse. Or she's the reason he's not in Storybrooke. We know his house was empty since the second curse, but no one know's who it belongs to, and we're left to assume it wasn't there in the first curse.
