Okay this is probably off topic but I have a very interesting theory on Lily, what if she is the daughter of the author. It would make sense if the author is a position that is given to the person who deserves it, and maybe that was The biological father of Lily. What if her Dad had to give her away because in order to take the roll of the sorcerer you have to give away the thing you love most. It would also make sense if Lily was the sorcerers daughter, because her birthmark is a star, it would also make sense if the sorcerer was Merlin because then it would tie in the whole gauntlet thing, and maybe Merlin had to give away his daughter to protect her from Rumple after Rumple goes to Camelot to destroy Merlin. Then when Rumple finds the gauntlet it takes his to Lily the thing Merlin loves most. And to protect her Merlin sends her away. It's a stretch but it at least seems plausible to me.
