um, Lacey, do you know what happened when (Athena's?) mortal love asked for immortality? he aged into a cricket.

Awesome Tithonus reference, and yes destroying magic is not going to happen.

thank you. I'd wondered what the guy's name was.

>and yes destroying magic is not going to happen.
though it begs the question of "what gave the Organization the impression you can destroy magic?"
(maybe inanimate objects can have their magic dispelled away, but living things - or certain Daggers - always regain their power?)

I just hope they explain it in terms of the physics of our universe, rather than "because I said so."

I just realized there's a parallel we haven't discussed. Rumple tells Lacey he can give her immortality. This is proof that Rumple is playing her to get Belle back, because in 2.4, he told Smee he couldn't grant immortality:

I was starting to reply to this...but it grew into this ficlet.

basically, you're right - he can't grant immortality...but he can give it.

its a good parallel, thanks for pointing it out.

I wondered about this too. I thought he told Lacey that he could keep her young forever. Basically, I interpreted it as he could make Lacey young, then she'll get older and he'll make her young again, etc.

I'll go with that.
