In a different take on their relationship, Ginny could be the one who has a special ability or connection that Harry needs in his fourth year. This could lead to Harry relying on Ginny more and seeing her in a new light. Instead of Harry being the sole hero, they become a team where Ginny's skills and knowledge are just as important. This would completely change the way their relationship develops compared to the original story.
Well, in fanfiction, their relationship could be more focused on their shared adventures. For example, if they both get involved in a secret club or an underground magical activity during their fourth year. They rely on each other more in these dangerous situations, which makes their bond stronger and different from how it was in the books. They could also have more open conversations about their feelings earlier on.
In the original book, their relationship was more in the background at this stage. But in fanfiction, it could be developed more intensively. For example, Ginny could be more directly involved in Harry's investigations in the Chamber of Secrets. She might share her own insights about the basilisk or the diary, which makes Harry see her in a new light, as an equal partner in their adventures rather than just a victim of the diary's magic.
In the original story, Hagrid is more of a secondary figure in Harry's life. But if he was raising Harry, their relationship would be much more paternal. Hagrid would be the one Harry turns to for all his problems, big or small. Harry would probably be more influenced by Hagrid's love for magical creatures and have a deeper understanding of them from an early age.
In fanfiction, their relationship could develop in a more friendly way. Instead of just being acquaintances in the original story, they could become true friends. They might start training together, sharing their knowledge of martial arts and life experiences.
In the fem Naruto and Hinata fanfiction, their relationship could develop more openly. Since Fem Naruto might be more in tune with her feelings, she could be the one to approach Hinata first, instead of the other way around. For example, Fem Naruto could invite Hinata to train together or just hang out.
Well, as Genin, they could start off as more competitive. Maybe in a sparring session, Hinata surprises Naruto with her new jutsu, and this makes Naruto more interested in her abilities rather than just her feelings for him. This could lead to a relationship based on mutual respect for skills first.
Well, in the original story, Gaston is a brute who only wants Belle for her beauty. In the fanfiction, their relationship could start with Gaston actually trying to get to know Belle's mind. He might start reading books to impress her, which is a huge change from his character in the original. This could lead to a more intellectual connection between them.
Well, in the original, Nephrite was an enemy. But in fanfiction, their relationship could start with Nephrite being curious about Sailor Jupiter's strength. He might approach her not as an enemy but as an observer, and this could lead to conversations that gradually make them friends. For example, he could see her fighting and be impressed, then start to ask her about her powers.
In the original story, their relationship was more of a teacher - student and friendly one. But as mates in the fanfiction, they would be much closer emotionally. They might share secrets that they wouldn't share with others. For example, Harry could confide in Remus about his real feelings towards the Dursleys much earlier.
In the original series, they have a rather casual acquaintance. But in fanfiction, their relationship could develop into a friendship based on mutual respect. Bulma could teach Beerus about Earth's technology, and Beerus could share some of his knowledge of the universe with her.
If in the fanfiction, Harry's Metamorphmagus abilities are more of a curse than a gift at first. Hermione would be the one to help him control it. This shared struggle would bring them closer together in a more complex way. They would have to rely on each other more, not just for academic or adventure - related things, but also on an emotional and magical level.
