Quite a Common Fairy: Present day. Neverland.

''Tinker Bell: Did you ever go back and find him? The man with the lion tattoo?''

Regina: No.

''Tinkerbell: Unreal. Do you know how selfish that is?''

Regina: It's a lot of things but how is it selfish?

''Tinkerbell: Because you didn't just ruined your life. You ruined his''.

Witch Hunt: Enchanted Forest Flashback (during the forgotten year):

''The Evil Queen: So, Roland's mother. What happened to her?''

''Robin Hood: After our boy was born I inadvertently put her in harm's way during the job. It's my fault. (...) I owe my mistakes,''

'Snow 'Drifts Present day.

Robin Hood: Her death was my fault.

Regina: I'm sorry.

New York City Serenade: Enchanted Forest Flashback (during the forgotten year) Robin saves Snow and Regina from a flying monkey

Robin: Robin of Loxley and these are a few of my Merry Men.

Snow: Snow White.

''Robin Hood: At last we meet. You know, there was a time when our faces graced Wanted Posters side by side.''

'''There's no place like Home. Emma meets Marian'''

Emma: What's your name?

''Marian: I dare not speaking in here. The Queen doesn't know who I am. My silence is the only thing keeping my family safe.''

Emma: What did she put you in for?

''Marian: I knew where Snow White was hiding. But I refused to tell the Queen.''

Taking these Quotes we can say that

1. Robin Hood first meet Snow during the cursed year they've forgotten.

2. He blames himself for Marian's death. Keeps saying it was his fault.

3. Once he said himself that he's a pickpocket by trade. Likely "during the job" means he was breaking in somewhere.

4. Robin seems to have had  no close encounter with the Evil Queen (her knights, probably). In Storybrooke he's more open-minded towards Regina then the rest of the citizens.

5. Marian is sentenced to death because she refused to tell the Queen where to find Snow White. Marian knows Snow. Robin Hood hasn't met her until NYCS.

6. At the time she meets Emma Marian already has a family to think of.

7. The Evil Queen doesn't know who she's about to kill. Ergo, Regina doesn't know. She doesn't know that she captured Marian once.

8. It's likely Robin also doesn't know that Maran was captured by the Evil Queen. He was open minded when Regina and he met in SB. I think he wouldn't have done it if he had any clue about Marian once being her prisoner.

What strikes me is that Marian mentions Snow. Like I said befor Robin hasn't met Snow by this time. Of course, there can be very well be a difference between the reason you're sentenced for a crime and the reason you've got captured.

Robin was not captured as well. So it seems they were seperated.

Did Emma and Hook's arrival already cahnge things in the past although they didn't interfere with the scene in the village?

I can twist and wriggle it as much as I like, I can't get the pieces of the puzzle fitting together. I know Adam and Eddy promised us to solve the mystery soon (Season 4). But I want to know, how you think this could fit together? What might have happened to get Marian's and Robin's version in line? Please be creative cause I'm not.
