The relationship could be portrayed as a meeting of two very different hero types. Harry Potter, with his intelligence and magic skills, could be intrigued by the Power Ranger's physical prowess and high - tech gear. They might start off as friends, slowly realizing they have feelings for each other. The fanfiction could show them learning about each other's worlds, like Harry taking the Power Ranger to Diagon Alley and the Power Ranger showing Harry their secret base.
There are also fanfictions that take a completely different turn and show a sort of begrudging respect between them. After a series of events where they both learn more about each other's pasts and motives, they start to respect the other's power and tenacity. This might not lead to friendship, but it does create a more nuanced relationship than just pure hatred.
It could be a very complex relationship. Marcus is from a world of vampires with their own set of rules and values, while Harry Potter is from a world of wizards. Their relationship might start with a sense of mystery and attraction. For example, Marcus could be intrigued by Harry's unique magic, which is different from the magic he has seen in his vampire world. And Harry might be drawn to Marcus's age - old wisdom.
They could have a mentor - mentee relationship. Amelia, being older and more experienced, could guide Harry in his fight against the dark side.
Often, it's portrayed as a relationship full of tension. Harry is the hero of the wizarding world who fought against Voldemort, and Narcissa was on the side of the Death Eaters. But in fanfic, this can be flipped. Some portray Narcissa as secretly admiring Harry's courage, which could lead to a strange, unspoken respect between them.
In fanfiction, their soulmate relationship can be a journey of redemption for Snape. Harry, being the more forgiving one, helps Snape come to terms with his past. Their bond is painted as something that defies the odds. It might include scenarios where they protect each other in ways that surprise even themselves. They learn to trust each other completely, which is a big shift from their canon relationship.
Their relationship could be portrayed as one of intense distrust. Harry, as the hero, would see Rodolphus as a symbol of the dark past. Rodolphus, on the other hand, might view Harry as the one who brought down his world. For example, in a fanfic, Harry could be interrogating Rodolphus in Azkaban and the air is thick with animosity.
I don't think Harry Potter is a Ranger fanfiction in the traditional sense. Harry Potter is set in a world of magic, with Hogwarts, spells, and magical creatures. Rangers usually are more associated with natural settings, like forests and wilderness, and their skills are more about survival in the wild, tracking, and using simple weapons. In Harry Potter, the focus is on magic and the battle between good and evil wizards. Although Harry has to be brave and independent, it's a different kind of story compared to what we typically expect from a Ranger - related story.
Another way is to portray it as a complex relationship filled with envy. Poseidon might envy Zeus's position as the king of the gods, while Zeus could be envious of Poseidon's power over the vast oceans. This envy could lead to various power struggles and tense moments between them in the fanfiction.
Another way is to show it as a relationship full of tension. They don't trust each other completely but they know that they need each other for certain goals. For instance, they might be collaborating on a project to spread more fear in the world, but each is secretly planning to double - cross the other when the time is right.
The relationship can also be portrayed as a mentorship of sorts. Hermes, being the younger god, could look up to Apollo in certain aspects like art and prophecy. He might ask Apollo for advice on how to create beautiful melodies (even though Hermes is more known for his flute). Apollo, in turn, could be impressed by Hermes' quick thinking and ability to get out of tight situations, and learn from him in terms of adaptability. This dynamic would add an interesting layer to their relationship in fanfiction.
