- Horned King as the original Dark One come back to battle Rumple sort of? Incorporate Black Cauldron Characters

- Mowgli and Tarzan are brothers, merge the two worlds. Jane falls through a portal and meets them and Baloo is silent character like Sven.

- Scar makes a deal with Regina/Rumple prior to the curse, takes care of the Storybrooke cemetery (Elephant Graveyard) and is a rival of both of them.

- Tiger Lily and Pocahontas in tribe that lived in Enchanted Forest. John Smith is an associate of Jane and the Tarzan/Jungle Book and Pocahontas stories intertwine. Mowgli ran away from tribe when he was young?

- Atlantis is where Ariel, Ursula, and the rest originate from and Monstro poses a threat.

- Land Without Color adds Headless Horseman (created), Dracula, Werewolf that's related to Red and Granny, Mummy, etc

- Granny takes place of Widow Tweed in Fox and the Hound, takes in fox and dog (cameo).

- Thumbelina is a fairy with Tinkerbell and Blue Fairy without wings, captured by Captain Hook and forgotten in a jar.

- Big Bad Wolf is a rogue werewolf that Ruby had an old relationship with and he tries to win her back. Owns a brick oven pizza place. Keeps his distance.

- Merlin is the original Sorcerer, but Madam Mim has been impersonating him even though she killed him a long time ago (like Cora and Lancelot).

- Mr. Smee followed the Pied Piper around when he was a rat.

- Flora Fauna and Merrywether (Tinker Bell, Blue, and another Fairy possibly) have a huge rivalry with Maleficent.

- Next major villain comes out of the Sorcerers hat - Madam Mim, Morgana, Black Fairy, Dr. Facilier.

- Bambi, Dumbo, Aristocats, and Lady and the Tramp as cameos, spread out from each other.

- Circus Ringleader from Dumbo has a "circus" that travels through Enchanted Forest and he kidnaps Baelfire or some fairies because he wants to make an elephant in his circus fly and needs magic.

- Paul Bunyan is a giant from the top of the beanstalk that somehow survived, and he got his blue ox from a deal he made with Rumple - in exchange for a safety spell, he had to take care of a magical ox usually thought to be deadly.

- Mary Poppins becomes a nanny for Snow and Charming and she uses magic to help Neal behind their back and they get angry when they find out she has magic.

- Rip Van Winkle is the creator of the original sleeping curse, and he tries to make another one to put Regina to sleep, thinking that he is doing everyone a favor. Somehow this goes wrong and he has to redeem himself.

- Love triangle between Aurora, Phillip and Mulan. Aurora and Phillip both cheat on each other with Mulan and has to make a deal with Maleficent to get a potion to get rid of her love for them but it ends up harming Aurora and Phillip.

My favorite out of all of these is the Rip Van WInkle One. Some of them are more devloped than others obviously. I want to turn some of these into fanfiction, but I would wait until Season 4 was finished so that I could keep things that are already canon in the stories. If you have any suggestions or critiques just reply! Alot of these are pretty good, and a few will probably be canon or near canon by the time the show is over, but a few have issues of why they wouldn't work, which I will explain now:

- Red is the Big Bad Wolf, so that won't be a seperate character.

- The Pied Piper is Peter Pan, and he only called "lost boys" with his pipe, and also Smee was never in rat form at any time he would have intersected with Pan

- Rip Van Winkle was a man who could not pay his debt to Rumple and was cursed to sleep, it was in a deleted scene in Season 3, so unless they retcon that, I doubt we'll see anything different

I agree with you on the Big Bad Wolf and Pied Piper, those slipped my mind. I would hope that since it was a deleted scene they would just pretend the Rip Van Winkle scene never happened, but you never know. They do make a small mention of him on the radio when Emma is getting our of her car during "The Apprentice". Maybe that means something?
