OUAT is all about l’amour and so as not to leave any sort of l’amour out they made sure to include basically ever sort of l’amour out there. Weather ou not toi like one ship ou another toi are sure to find one toi can really sink your teeth into. Here is my personal opinion on all the ships that inhabit the great marina that in OUAT.

My OTP's

Mulora / Sleeping Warrior (Aurora & Mulan)

This is my #1 OTP no competition. I've written much plus extensive articles explaining my l’amour for them. In summery I've loved them since the start but never imagined they would become cannon. Now that they have I will go down with this Ship!

Gremma (Graham & Emma)

Oh Gremma I miss toi so much. I was and still am a die hard Gremma shipper and believe me he died hard. I'm still getting over the fact that it is NEVER gonna happen. Since then I have been trying to déplacer on. I've found a new #1 OTP's so that I am not living in the past, I've even begun to ship Emma with other people, but Gremma will always be Emma's OTP in my heart.

Frankenwolf (Whale & Ruby)

I'm a sucker for tragedy and both Ruby and baleine are the definition of tragedy. No one else can understand the way they feel. To have unwittingly killed someone they loved and struggling to come to terms with that fact but unable to do so. To be thought of as a monster par everyone including yourself. It tugs at the heartstrings. No one on this montrer deserves l’amour as much as Red does and no one can understand her the way Victor does.

Regal Arrow / Outlaw Queen (Robin capuche, hotte & Regina)

I just find the "love that could have been" so beautifully tragic. I know they have yet to have a scene together but I l’amour them already. Robin is prefect for Regina. They are nothing alike yet he understands her. He can make her the person she wants to be. I just can't put in to words how beautiful and sad I find this ship but as they say a picture says a thousand words and this picture comes as close as toi can get to summing up how I feel perfectly.



Golden Hearts (Rumple & Cora)

A great example of my flightiness when it comes to ships. FTL Rumple has alway sent a shiver down my spine particularly the creepy-ass laugh. So when I saw the scaly impish Rumple and young Cora s’embrasser in the Promo for "The Millers Daughter" along with the bias that came with being a Rumbelle shipper I was naturally disgusted and regretfully quite vocal about my disgust.

However their dark gothique romance won me over in a heartbeat. Something about the idea of something as beautiful as l’amour coming from something as evil as shared hate and a thirst for power fascinated me and the scene where Rumple teaches Cora to spin while she tells him all about her darkest thoughts and desires is so twisted and dark but at the same time incredibly seductive.

They were kindred spirits ready to rule the world together and to joint, joint d’étanchéité the deal (for me at least) they were also incredibly tragic. To l’amour someone so much that toi had to rip your own cœur, coeur out in order to put them behind toi is a tale born plus from the original Grimm stories then the Disney versions the others are inspired by.

Red Hunters (Ruby & Graham)

**SPOILER WARNING FOR THOSE THAT HAVE NOT READ "SHADOW OF THE QUEEN"**

At first I was actually annoyed with the romance between Graham and Red. What exactly is the point, he's dead? Why would toi finally give Ruby an actual canon, cannon l’amour interest that is already dead? But the idea of my two favori characters in a connon ship was to good for me to ignore and once again it was a terrible tragedy. I do hope that they bring up this tidbit eventually on the actually montrer although the chances of that are slim to none as they haven't even brought up Graham once in conversation since he died.


My BrOTP's

Red Snow (Ruby & Snow)

Snow White & Rose Red was my favori fairy tale of a child. The fact that OUAT acknowledged that little know tale par making Snow and Red best Friends is what hooked me on OUAT in the first place. I can not be objective about this couple because of this fact so I'm just gonna say I l’amour them.

Fairy Queen (Tinkerbell & Regina)

Fairy Queen was such a breath of fresh air. After all that had happened to Regina after all the people that had betrayed her finally having someone on the montrer that cared about her and wished her to find happiness they way we do was remarkable. Of course Regina screwed it up, but only because she wasn't ready to déplacer on not out of hatred and spite the way she screwed up all her other chances.

Red Beauty (Ruby & Belle)

Just because it's good to see Belle interact with anyone besides Rumple. Why is it that someone as good natured as Belle seems to be completely ostracized par the rest of the town?

Captain Charming (Charming & Hook)

I'm so glad that Charming is no longer the only source of testosterone on the heros side. Being the only "man" was really going to his head. It'll be good for him to have a true mate.

cygne Queen (Regina & Emma)

Although I've never been able to see anything romantic about this couple I do want them to be Henry's "moms" so much it hurts. This doesn't mean they have to be a couple. montrer of hands. How many people out there have a mom and a dad that are actually still a couple? Not unheard of then. The point is you're parents don't necessarily have to l’amour each other in order to l’amour you. At least that's what Mrs. Doubtfire taught me. However the plus friendly their relationship the better it will be for Henry, which is why I so delighted to see them finally getting along.


Those I Ship


Captain cygne (Killian & Emma)

Captain cygne is perhaps the single best example of my flighty nature when it comes to ships. I hated Hook when he was introduced. He has rude, crude and everything I did NOT look for in a man. However as the layers began peeling away and his character was slowly reveled to be much plus then then what we saw on the cover I began to grow plus attached to him. Since the season three premiere his courtship of Emma (an old fashion word, yes. but incredibly accurate for the situation) has completely won me over.


cygne Thief / cygne feu (Emma & Neal / Bae)

I've been a starch defender and hardcore shipper of Swanfire (formally known as "Swan Thief") from the moment they were introduced. I l’amour how ordinary they are. The everyday average l’amour that the normal real world person experiences Lost among all these extraordinary fairy tale romances. I don't think Swanfire is "true love" ou "endgame" like many people do, but that is why I l’amour it. It's not a sure thing. It's messy and complicated and wonderful and beautiful and everything that "real love" is. Real Love, not true love. The type of l’amour that doesn't come easy. The type toi have to fight for, work for and prove yourself worthy of.

Hook Queen (Hook & Regina)

As soon as Hook was introduced in "The Crocodile" I a dit to myself "He would look really good with Regina." and I waited patiently for them to finally have a scene together. My patience payed off they were amazing together. Hook Queen remained my one and only ship for both Hook and Regina right up until Hook a dit "As toi Wish" after the CS kiss. In that instant I dropped Hook Queen and Swanfire and officially moved over the Team Captain Swan.



Millian (Milah & Killian)

The reason I l’amour this ship is very simple; because they loved each other so much that they were willing to die for each other and that that l’amour lived on long past death. Milah was his life and without her he was a shell. To l’amour someone that much.. I cant even image it. The pain he must have gone though everyday for hundreds of years. toi can see it in his eyes. My poor poor baby.

Darling feu (Wendy & Baelfire)

Just because chiot l’amour is adorable and the young actors did a fantastic job. If I can't have Swanfire I would gladly settle for Darling Fire.

Philora (Aurora & Philip)

The issue I have with this ship is that it gets in the way of my #1 OTP. The seconde issue I have with this ship is that it's impossible to hate them for it. They are so damn adorable Philip is the sweetest guy in the world and Aurora glows when she is around him. No literally she glows. I don't know how Sarah does it, but look back at the scenes they are together in. She is emitting light!

Heartless Hunter (Regina & Graham)

This ship is my guilty pleasure. I realize it is all kinds of unhealthy, verging on sex crime, but I cant help it. Both characters are extremely attractive, have serious baggage and are desperate for any sort of interaction that allows them to feel anything at all. The combination of all these ingredients is a sure recipe for steamy, sexy, beautiful, dangerous Ship Porn. When Graham and Regina Kiss I just want to rewind and play it over and over and over again.

Grappetto (Granny & Geppetto)

I know what you're all saying "Of course toi have to put the only two old people in town together." Well old people romance is adorable and I want some of it on this show!

Evil Jack (James & Jack)

I l’amour Evil Jack for the same reason I l’amour Golden Heart. They are so deliciously evil. Their minds think as one. I wish we could have gotten plus of them.

Regal Cricket (Regina & Archie)

I like Archie a lot. I l’amour that he was the only person that could forget the past and see that Regina was trying and actually help her. He is such a good person. The only person good enough to counter Regina's evil. The only reason Regal Cricket isn't my OTP for Regina is because of Outlaw Queen.

Those that are on the fence... I'm not sure... IT'S COMPLICATED!

Rumbelle (Belle & Rumplestiltskin)

Now if any ship deserves the definition "It's complicated" this one does. Like the majority of the fandom Rumbelle sucked me in in "Skin Deep". Emilie and Roberts charisma completely blinded me to the clearly unhealthy nature of this relationship. A one point he grabs her par the shoulders and shakes her until it looks like her head is going to fall off while yelling and spitting "no one can ever l’amour me!" and still par the end of the episode I'm hoping that they will find each other "because they have true love".

It took an embarrassingly long time for my head to clear and for me to see Rumbelle for what it truly is. In fact I didn't she it until I heard other Rumbelle fans defending his actions and realized "this isn't right". I still l’amour them but darn it I can't condone this kind of relationship. I can't pretend it's heathy so I don't feel guilty about shipping them. It's messed up and anyone that doesn't see that is delirious. Still I don't blame them because Rumbelle is like a drug. It's intoxicating and toi can't help shipping it even if toi know all to well it's unhealthy.



Snowing (Charming & Snow)

It's no secret that I wish Charming had died in the pilot as originally planned. I find him terminally boring and on haut, retour au début of that he brings out the worst in Snows character. He makes her stupid, needy and judgmental. Traits she shows no sign of in the scenes we see her in before she met him. Personally I would of found a story line in which Snow struggles with the lose of the true l’amour much plus interesting then this never ending "I will always find you" storyline. At the same time I just can't see either Charming ou Snow with anyone else. Ginny and Josh's l’amour for each other seep though in every scene they are in together.

Red Cricket (Ruby & Archie)

Since we've never really seen these two interact I cant say I ship them, but I like the idea of the two sweetest people in Storybrook getting together.

Mad Queen (Jefferson & Regina)

I would say no to this ship if it weren't for both Lana and Stan's natural chemistry with anything they come in contact with. In theory I'm not a fan of Mad Queen but when I see them on screen together I just can't help it.

Those I'm neutral about/Don't really care if they get together ou not:

I might also just be ambivalent towards a ship for other reasons. This could be because I'm still not sure how I feel, still need plus interaction ou because they don't interest me.

Other ships still in deliberation:

- Red Hook (Ruby & Hook)

- Hookriel (Hook & Ariel)

- Fairy Hook (Tinkerbell & Hook)

toi may have noticed that these are all Hook ships. This may be because I only recently started liking his character. I do think he deserves someone but before this point his sleazy commentaires made me unwilling to pair him with anyone I actually liked. Now that he is becoming plus of a gentleman I've began to reconsider him for basically all the available characters.

Those that just don't interest me:

Stable Queen (Daniel & Regina)

I know Stable Queen is very populaire and I don't really have anything against them. They just bore me. I know it's young l’amour yata.. yata but there really isn't much else to it. The focus was much plus on Regina relationship with Cora then her relationship with Dan.

Ariel & Eric

Once again zero interest. Eric is about as deep as a mirror and their entire l’amour story goes something like this:

Ariel: "I rescued this guy. I never really got to talk to him because he was unconscious, but I l’amour him and will give anything to be with him.

Eric: "hello stranger. I saw toi in a dream. Would toi like to spend the rest of our lives together.

Dreamy Nova (Leroy & Astrid)

I like these two and I really do hope they get together. I wouldn't even object to another episode focused on them I just don't care enough to get too worked up about it.

Other ships in this category include:

- Gramara (Greg & Tamara)

- Abigail & Frederick

- Ashley & Tomas

I don't have anything against these ships. No reason they shouldn't be together. I just have zero interest in the characters involved.


Those I don't Ship


because I actually don't like them...

White Queen (Regina & Snow) & Hook feu (Hook & Baelfire / Neal)

I put these two together because I dislike them for the exact same reason. Both relationships involve a child that trusted someone and loved them and was betrayed par them. This is something I can never get behind. It is just sick to use a child as a scapegoat for your troubled life.

Golden Queen (Regina & Rumple)

This is similar to White Queen & Hook feu but I hate it on a deeper level. Rumple had been intentionally making Gina's life miserable since the jour she was born. How anyone could pair them romantically is beyond me. If I had an anti-ship this would be it.

Glass Queen (Regina & Sydney)

I just can't get behind a ship were one person is only using the other and doesn't actually return their affection ou even care about them in anyway. I feel sorry for Sydney but he should never be with Regina.

Wooden cygne (August & Emma)

Can't ship this. Not just because I hate August but because of why I hate August. He is a self-serving bastard that never did anything in his life if there wasn't something in it for him. If he hadn't have forgotten his promise and run off then Emma would have grown up with at least one person in her life that knew how special she was. And the one time he remembered and came back to fulfill his duty it wasn't to tell her that there were people that loved her out there and they needed her help. No, instead he simply rips away the one fragment of happiness in her life and runs away again to travel the world on her dime.


because I just don't see anything there...

Mad cygne (Jefferson & Emma)

I'll admit there is chemistry there but I don't see it going on between the characters. All I see is JMo and S. Stan personal feelings. Jefferson is just not the type of person I see Emma the character having feelings for.

Evil Charming (Regina & Charming)

I just don't understand where this came from. There are two big reasons why I could never ship this. (1) Charming hates Regina unconditionally. They have never had a scene together that I actually enjoyed watching. (2) I will never be able to see Charming with anyone but Snow.

Rumpilah (Milah & Rumple)

I don't see myself getting in to a débats with anyone on this one. The writers never intended for this ship to be likable and very few fans disagree with them. Although it was nice to she Rumple happy and I do believe there was l’amour there once it just isn't there anymore. It's a nice addition to OUAT's portefeuille, portfolio of all the different faces of l’amour but I don't think there are many out there that actually ship them.

Philan (Mulan & Philip)

I know that this was suppose to be canon, cannon at one point but I just don't see any chemistry. To me they seem plus like "brothers in arms", Mulan just happens to be a girl. Although I have to admit I might be a tad blinded my my l’amour for Mulora.

Warrior feu (Mulan & Baelfire) & Evil feu (Regina & Neal / Baelfire)

This two come across as an attempt par Captain cygne shippers to match Neal up with some one other then Emma. As a Captain cygne shipper myself as well as a big fan of Neal I'd like to see him with someone, but I don't personally see anything between these particular couples. My big hope is that Wendy will come back as an adult as I really liked her with young Bea. If they can't make that happen then I'm content to wait for a partner that fits him better.

Along with these two ships there are a few others I have absolutely no idea how they came to exist. The only explanation I can come up with is that they are desperate attempts to pair up the remaining singles on the montrer despite the fact that they make to sense. These ships include:

Mad Beauty (The Single Jefferson & Belle)

Golden cygne (The Single Emma & Rumple)

Sleeping Hook (The At-That-Time Single Aurora & The Single Hook)

Captain Beauty (The Single Hook & Belle)

Red Queen (The Single Ruby & The Single Regina)
