Pitch Black and Rapunzel Fanfiction: What are some interesting plot ideas?

One idea could be exploring Pitch Black's past before he became the villain. Maybe he had a family or a lost love that led him down his dark path.

A possible plot could involve Jack Frost accidentally stumbling into Pitch Black's lair. Pitch Black, instead of attacking him immediately, decides to play with him a bit. He creates illusions and challenges for Jack. Jack, being the adventurous spirit he is, takes on these challenges, and through this encounter, both characters learn something new about themselves and each other. In the end, it could lead to a change in their relationship, perhaps a more nuanced understanding between the two.

One idea could be that Naruto is on a mission in a strange land and stumbles upon Rapunzel's tower. He helps her escape from Mother Gothel, and in return, Rapunzel uses her hair to help Naruto in his ninja battles. Another could be that they both get transported to a third, unknown world and have to rely on each other's unique skills to survive and find their way back home.

A male Rapunzel could also be part of a story where his long hair has magical properties. Instead of the traditional healing magic often associated with Rapunzel's hair in the original story, his hair might have the power to control the elements. For example, he can summon wind to keep unwanted visitors away from his tower or use water to create a protective barrier. A group of friends might come across his tower, and together they figure out how to use his hair's powers for the greater good and to finally free him from his captivity.

One idea could be a prequel focusing on how the Bellas formed in the first place. Maybe explore the early relationships between the members like Aubrey and Chloe.

One idea could be to have the characters from Harry Potter end up in the Pitch Black universe. Maybe Harry and his friends could be stranded on a planet like in Pitch Black and have to deal with the dangerous creatures there while also using their magic in unique ways. For example, using Lumos to fend off the Pitch Black creatures in the dark.

An OC could be a scientist sent to study the planet's ecosystem in the Pitch Black universe. They encounter Riddick and end up having to rely on his survival skills. The fanfiction could explore how the OC's scientific knowledge and Riddick's street - smart ways work together to overcome the various challenges on the planet, such as finding food and water sources.

One idea could be exploring Pitch Black's past in more detail. Maybe he had a friendship before he turned dark that could be rekindled in the fanfiction. Another idea is to have Pitch Black team up with the Guardians against a new, even greater threat.

One idea could be that the OC has a special power that Pitch Black is initially intrigued by and tries to use for his own dark purposes. For example, if the OC can manipulate dreams in a way different from the Guardians. Another plot could involve the OC being caught in the middle of the eternal struggle between Pitch and the Guardians, and having to make a choice about which side to ultimately support. Or perhaps the OC has a past connection to Pitch that is slowly revealed throughout the story, changing their relationship dynamic.

One idea could be that Varian creates a special invention for Rapunzel. Maybe it's a device that can help her better manage the kingdom's resources. For example, it could analyze the soil in Corona to determine the best crops to plant each season. Another plot could involve them going on an adventure together outside of Corona. They might discover a new magical place that holds the key to solving a problem in their kingdom. Or perhaps Varian gets into some trouble with his experiments, and Rapunzel has to use her leadership skills and kindness to help him out and also convince the people of Corona not to be too hard on him.
