My personal opinion is that it wasn't such a twist/stretch to make Pan Rumple's dad. I mean in the novel/play Pan was always viewed as a father figure and Wendy the mother, though Wendy is yet to fulfill her role its clear at least to me that Pan misses Rumple and being a father, thus the Lost Boys. He clearly regrets it and I believe that him being the Pied Piper was his attempt to find Rumple and  bring him back to Neverland however he did not have a proper gage of time after being on NL. Even in the last episode Pan invited Rumple to stay well before he put him in the box (but that could just be his twisted way of forcing his will upon his son).
