Plans and storylines change.

Frankly, I enjoyed it. It felt real to me and my experience. It came out of nowhere, there was no clearly defined transitional period from Phillip to Aurora, the past contradicts it, she even had shown some resentment towards Aurora before, up until that moment there was no romantic chemistry between the two, and without all of that there's no way for it to be believable.

It's absolute junk. Token. I feel like I could shit a better nod to the LGBT fanbase. Well, actually I saw it coming at very least since 2x08. That's when Mulan started showing a lot of concern for Aurora's safety, not only in strictly life-threatening situations (ie: her burnings), not only because she was loyal to the promise she made to Phillip (for such an honour-oriented person, cheating and stealing from her comrades must have been an awful decision to make). She went from passive-aggressive antagonism over Phillip to affection, and with all the time that went by off-screan between 2x09 and 2x22 that might have developed into a crush/love/name it.

Honestly, I don't understand why people are getting so mad at that. First, I doubt it that regardless of gender and sexual orientation, nobody here but, apparently, me has gone through two crushes or love interests overlapping, until you find out that you love one of the two more romantically and the other more friendly/platonically. That's perfectly normal and does not mean one is a bad person, it's just how feelings work. Secondly, she wasn't really going to steal anything from anyone: she just wanted to take that off her chest. Of course I think she hoped Aurora would reciprocate, but her main intent was just not to shut the thing up anymore. Cracking the news on a woman who's just got pregnant was not probably the best thing to do, she just realised that and dropped it. AND, I don't see any interest towards Robin Hood on her part (not counting that no one knows that there might be a future together for him and Regina at this point, not even Regina herself and Tinkerbell). Please, read youselves before hitting the reply button.

With this said, KYAAAAAAAAAAH! I've been shipping them since day one. Or Day eight, but that's beside the point.
