They could still do it, although it may seem a little un-thought of and last minute if they did now. Say perhaps, when the curse broke, Nova/Astrid hid herself away, battling with the We Are Both concept. She is both a fairy (where her and Grumpy's love is forbidden) and a Nun (where her and Leroy's love is forbidden) She doesn't want to confront Leroy perhaps, incase he wants to start their relationship. BUT (and this is exactly why I say last minute and kind of forced) it didn't seem throughout Leroy's time in Storybrooke AFTER the curse broke, he seemed interested in finding Nova at all. Even though he would have remembered his interactions with Astrid in Dreamy. He even was pushing to go home. Home, to where the BF can control Nova and force them apart.

The only way I can see this working, is that Nova/Astrid had indeed hid herself away and Grumpy/Leroy had never sought her out (either because he was heartbroken after the events of Dreamy (Nova choosing to be a fairy over love with Dreamy/Grumpy) or purely because he thought she would have moved on and leave her as she had asked. If they go either of these routes though I would love to see a scene where Grumpy has something of hers, or perhaps drawn her picture so we can see that he has always loved her even though he hasn't looked for her.

And obviously I'd like to see them re-united in any follow-up Nova/Astrid Grumpy/Leroy episode. Astrid can stay at home and bake cookies all day if she want if Amy Acker isn't up for regular appearances but please Amy, one more just to tie up this silly loose end!
