Some fanfictions might explore the human versions of the characters' inner struggles. For instance, Scar as a human could be a jealous and power - hungry man who feels overshadowed by his brother. His plot to take over could be more about corporate or political power in a human society. And Mufasa as a human father figure could represent the values of honor and responsibility, and his death could have a huge impact on the young human Simba, making him question his own path and purpose in life.
One interesting concept could be a human having unique abilities that interact with the powers of the Lion Guard. For example, the human might have a special connection to the magic of the Pride Lands, like being able to communicate with the animals in a different way than the normal animal communication in the Lion Guard universe.
Another possibility is a human who has a special power, like being able to communicate with all animals. They come to the Pride Lands during a time of trouble, such as a drought or an invasion from another group of animals, and use their power to help the lions and other creatures.
One idea could be to explore the relationship between Kiara and Kovu in a human setting. Maybe they meet at a high school where there are different social groups and they have to overcome the prejudice between their 'pride' - like the popular kids and the outcasts. It could add a modern twist to their classic love story.
Some great concepts for human Lion King fanfiction could involve a human being adopted by a lion pride. This human grows up with the lions, learning their language and customs. They could then use their human intelligence to come up with new strategies for hunting or defending the pride. For example, they might introduce the concept of traps to catch prey more efficiently. Another idea is a human who is a storyteller in the human world but somehow ends up in the Lion King world. The human then tells the lions stories from their own world, which inspire the lions to be better leaders or to face their fears. Also, a human with magical powers could arrive in the Pride Lands and use their powers to heal the land that has been damaged by Scar's reign.
One interesting concept could be the transformation of a human into a being with storm - related powers similar to the Storm King. Maybe they gain the ability to control lightning or strong winds.
One idea could be that a human gets lost in the Pride Lands and Zira, instead of her usual hostile nature towards outsiders, is curiously drawn to the human. Maybe she sees the human as a potential ally in her quest for power, or perhaps she believes the human has some special knowledge that could help her. Another idea is that a human has the ability to communicate with animals like in some fantasy stories, and tries to convince Zira to let go of her hatred and find a more peaceful path for her pride.
Well, perhaps a human is magically transported into the Lion King world. This human has a special connection with the stars, and they discover that an ancient evil is about to return. With the help of the Lion King characters, especially Rafiki who believes in the human's unique gift, they work towards preventing the disaster. The human could also introduce new concepts like music styles from our world to the animals in the Pride Lands.
A human in the Lion King world could cause quite a stir. First of all, the natural order of the Pride Lands would be disrupted. The animals have their own way of life based on instincts and the Circle of Life. The human might introduce new concepts like building permanent shelters or using tools. This could change how the animals view their world. They might start to question their traditional ways. For example, Simba might be curious about the human's ability to communicate complex ideas and might want to learn from them. However, some animals like Scar might see the human as a threat to his power and try to get rid of them.
One idea could be a human prince who is exiled from his kingdom, just like Simba. He has to grow up in a different place, learn about himself and his true purpose, and then return to claim his throne. Another could be a love story set in the 'Lion King' human - version world, perhaps between two characters from different social classes or rival families.
One idea could be that a human child gets lost in the Pride Lands and is adopted by a lioness. The child grows up learning the ways of the lions, facing the same challenges as Simba did, like dealing with Scar's evil plans. Another could be that the human child has a special power, like being able to communicate with all animals in the Pride Lands, and uses it to bring peace between the lions and other species. Or perhaps the human child is a descendant of an ancient tribe that has a connection to the Pride Lands and must fulfill a prophecy to save the kingdom.
