A/N This is pretty much just gonna list reasons about why Swanfire is #relationshipgoals and I plan on doing every chapter listing off reasons for my ships. If you want me to do a specific ship, comment, and I will try to do it as soon as I can. Also, before you read this, a moment of silence in remembrance to Neal and how amazing he was before he was killed off for the sake of CaptainSwan. #SavetheThieves
1) They have a kid and they can still hang out without it being awkward even though they haven't seen each other in over a 10 years. Then actually become good friends again.
2) Even though they both grew up without parents for the most part, they put that aside and both make excellent parents for Henry.
3) Neal didn't take any offense towards Emma when she had told him that she'd hoped she was dead.
4) Even though Emma said she wore her key chain that Neal had bought her to remind herself to never to trust anyone again, it was most likely to have a memory of any good times she's had in her life.
5) Neal gave up his life and love so that Emma could fulfill her destiny and break the curse, even though it was probably the hardest thing he'd ever had to do in his life.
6) When Neal was stuck in the Enchanted Forest (both times), the only thing he could focus on was getting back to Emma and Henry, his own safety didn't matter to him enough for him throw caution to the wind, all for the sake of love.
7) Even when he was engaged to Tamara, he never quite got over his love for Emma, and proved that they were true love.
8) They're child has the heart of the truest believer, which means that his parent's love had to be true enough to fill his heart with belief.
9) Emma said she was willing to never settle and spend her entire life with Neal on the run if she had to.
10) Neal never resented Emma, even when she brought back the man he spent his life running away from, and trying to hide the fact that he had a son, and never stopped trying to win her back.
11) Emma's life of always shutting out people because they were constantly disappointing her, but when she met Neal, she was willing to open her heart to the possibility of love and a family.
12) Even after hearing that Emma and Hook had kissed, Neal still never gave up on getting Emma back.
13) Neal was willing to go back to Neverland, where his likelihood of survival was slim, and his likelihood of escape was even slimmer, in order to be with Emma again.
14) Neal was willing to give his life just so Emma could escape the portal and be with Henry, so he could have at least one living parent.
15) Even after trying to shut out the belief of love before, after Neal had left the first time, and after over a decade of waiting, she was finally able to say she loves someone, and that someone was Neal, again.
16) After spending his whole life running in order to escape his past, Neal was willing to stop in order to start a family with Emma.
17) "Tallahassee"
18) Neal is the one guy that David actually supports Emma being with, even though he used to be a thief.
19) Instead of trying to keep Emma to himself, he actually said that Emma should be happy, and didn't freak out when she told him she was engaged to Walsh.
20) They can actually laugh about they're insane family tree, and how ridiculous it sounds when said out loud.
21) He didn't pressure Emma when he was trying to ask her out, he just said where he was going to be at lunch and actually gave her a way out.
22) Neal died in order to save Emma, Henry, his father, and Emma's family.
23) During his last moments, he doesn't say one selfish thing, in fact he gives Emma back her swan necklace, and tells her to move on, and even though Henry doesn't remember him then, he wants the best for his son too.
A/N I know there are several more reasons, but I was trying to catch some of the big moments.

RandomI've read a story about how Captain Swan is relationship goals (though I respectfully disagree), and I think people should know how every ship could be relationship goals. This is pretty much 50% biased so...
