What could be a romantic plot in a The Little Mermaid Ariel and Eric fanfiction?

Perhaps in the fanfiction, Ariel and Eric get married and have to deal with the cultural differences between the underwater world and the human world. For example, Ariel has to learn the proper etiquette in Eric's kingdom while Eric tries to understand the unique traditions of Ariel's mermaid family.

Perhaps in a fanfiction, Ariel and Eric will have a family of their own. They will raise their children to understand both the land and the sea, creating a unique bond between the two worlds.

One possible fanfiction could be that Ariel and Eric discover a hidden underwater kingdom that was lost long ago. They embark on a journey to learn about its history and find that it holds the key to a magical power that can save both the underwater and land worlds from a new threat.

One possibility is that they immediately start planning their future. Since they come from two different worlds, they'd have to figure out how to make their relationship work. Maybe they start building a place where both of them can be comfortable, half on land and half in the sea. And they could start spreading the message of love and unity between humans and mer - people.

Often, in fanfiction, Ursula can still be a main antagonist. She might come back with a new plan to break up Ariel and Eric, maybe using a different form of magic or disguise this time.

One interesting storyline could be Ariel and Eric exploring new lands together that are beyond the sea and the shore they know. They could discover hidden islands with magical creatures and have adventures while learning more about each other's worlds.

One possible plot could be that Eric, after being under Vanessa's spell briefly, has hazy memories of Ariel. Vanessa tries to keep Eric away from the sea, but Eric starts having dreams of a mermaid. As he investigates, he discovers Vanessa's true nature. He then sets out to find the real girl he saw in his dreams, leading him back to Ariel.

After the kiss, their relationship could develop in many ways. They might start sharing their dreams with each other. Ariel could tell Eric about her long - held dreams of exploring the human world further, and Eric could share his aspirations of being a great leader. This mutual sharing would bring them closer. Also, they would likely face some opposition, especially from those who don't believe in the union of a human and a mermaid. But this would only make them fight harder for their relationship.

Maybe the plot involves the baby getting kidnapped by an evil sea witch who wants to use the baby's unique heritage for her own dark purposes. Ariel and Eric then embark on a dangerous adventure to rescue their baby. Along the way, they meet various sea creatures and humans who either help or hinder them. In the end, they manage to save their baby through their combined strength and love.

One possible story could be that Eric, as a merman, is an outcast in his own underwater kingdom. Maybe he has different ideas about interacting with the surface world compared to the other mermen. He could befriend Ariel, who is curious about his unique perspective among the mermen.
