That sounds really good. Glad we're getting to see Snow White's father.

It's not really unrequited love with Mary and David since they both have feelings...

This sounds excellent. I'm laughing irl at the repeated use of "Mayor Regina", though.

I've been trying to figure out how the two stories are going connect, though, since Leopold seems to be the focus of the FTL story and we know that he dies before the curse is cast, and then it hit me... could Sidney be the genie? Maybe the Queen trapped him in her mirror? Or maybe Leopold ordered it somehow, and thus Sidney the genie/mirror teamed up with the Queen to take him down? Either way, I'm excited to find out. If only every day were Sunday. :(
