I wouldn't change much from Seasons 1 & 2, except maybe: • Fewer or no filler episodes • Introduce a few LGBT character(s) earlier, and not make it into some big contrived statement like the "RubySlippers" incident. • Greg would only be there as an actual threat to avenge his father and kill Regina, forcing the heroes to make a tough decision on how to deal with him • Tamara would still work for the Home Office but it would be a real organization, probably headed by Dorothy Gale. This would eventually introduce Zelena.

My version of Season 3 would switch the Zelena & Neverland arcs: • Zelena sends a minion (maybe Tamara is a double agent or a mermaid who can cross realms idk) to oppose Home Office & retrieve Dorothy's slippers so that Zelena can leave Oz. • Once Zelena arrives in Storybrooke, her green skin would vanish so she can blend in. • She would have Peter Pan's plan to re-enact the Dark Curse instead of time travel. The arc would end the same, with Zelena being killed and the curse being reversed by Regina, taking everyone but Emma & Henry. • Emma and Hook's romance progresses consistently across Seasons 2 and 3 so that by the midseason finale, Emma falls for him and it's sad when they are forced to part ways etc. • Peter Pan arrives in Season 3B but he is Hook's de-aged father, not Rumple's, whose origin story comes later. We know young Hook and his dad went on a ship with plans to travel the realms, but his dad was a fugitive and left him. This is very similar to Rumple's backstory. • Pan and Rumple are still enemies, and Rumple knew Pan when he was a boy. Later, when creating the Dark Curse, Rumple would steal the magic from Neverland to make sure nobody ages in Storybrooke under the curse. This causes magic to slowly leave Neverland. • Pan threatens Snow & Charming into casting the curse again, but it's part of his plan to lure Emma & Henry to Storybrooke, so Pan can kidnap him and use his heart to restore Neverland. • Only Emma, Hook & Regina would go to Neverland, save Henry, and defeat Pan. • Snow Queen is introduced earlier but her identity would be vague until she breaks into the Home Office headquarters, steals a mysterious urn and releases Elsa. Season 3 ends.
