Well, ancient is kind of hard to say. Cinderella in it's earliest forms is ancient, but we don't know the age of many of the fairy tales since the oldest sources we have usually date just a few hundred years, while others like the Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland are just over 100.

Once can only adapt fairy tales and literature in the public domain or those stories owned by Disney in some manner (Frozen, Moana).

They've honestly done most of my favorites, but there are plenty of other fairy tales they could have adapted...it's just that no one but die hard fairy tale fans know of them. There's the Yellow Dwarf, Prince Hyacinth, the Bronze Ring, Clever Gretel, East of the Sun, West of the Moon, the Princess and the Goblin, Swan Lake...so many.

But to answer your question, I'd always wanted to see more Oz. Oz has a lot of lore, and we barely see any of it. (The Book of Records and Six-Leaf Clover are both from later Oz books and pop up in the show...the Magic Picture might also, it's similar to the floor that the Wizard and Zelena use to watch others.) I'd want to see Once adapt the story of Princess Ozma, a princess who is kidnapped by the Wizard when he arrives in Oz and taken to the Wicked Witch of the North, Mombi. Mombi changes Ozma into a male and raises him into his teenage years. Eventually he runs away and Glinda forces Mombi to transform him back into Ozma. Ozma and Dorothy become best friends and have many adventures. I don't think the main show would ever do them justice and it would need it's own spin off. Since the series "Emerald City" failed (even though it wasn't bad) I don't see anyone touching Oz again, anytime soon, sadly.

And no, as of yet, the show hasn't answered why Will was back in town. Maybe it was just an argument. And it never answered Lily's father's identity. I can see it answering the Lily question but not the Will one.
