The relationship in a child Shirou x Saber fanfiction would be much more about discovery and growth on Shirou's part. Since he's a child, he has a lot to learn about the world, and Saber can be a part of that learning process. Unlike in the original where Shirou has his own set of ideals already formed, as a child, Saber's presence can shape his ideals from the very beginning. Their bond would be based on Shirou's wide - eyed wonder and Saber's sense of duty to protect and guide him.
It could start with distrust. Saber Alter is different from the original Saber, and Shirou might be cautious. But as they face challenges together in Camelot, like battles against dark creatures, they start to rely on each other. This gradually builds respect and then a deeper connection.
Their relationship could also turn into a more of a partnership in fanfiction. For example, they could start a new business together, like a mobile ramen cart that they take to different parts of the village or even to other villages. This would require them to rely on each other more and get to know each other on a deeper level than just the typical customer - shopkeeper relationship. And they would face challenges together, like getting permits to operate in different areas and dealing with competition from other food vendors.
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.
One plot idea could be that child Shirou discovers Saber's true identity as a king through a magical encounter. Maybe they go on a small adventure in the local forest, with Saber teaching Shirou about honor and courage in a child - friendly way.
In fanfiction, Shirou and Saber's love is often depicted as a complex and beautiful relationship. It's a love that transcends their different natures. Shirou, with his strong sense of justice, is drawn to Saber's noble and powerful presence. Their love story can be full of moments of understanding and mutual growth.
Many fanfictions explore their relationship by showing their daily life. For example, they might show how Saber and Shirou communicate in the morning, like Saber making tea while Shirou reads the news. It gives a sense of normalcy to their relationship.
One way the fanfiction expands on the characters is through their interaction with new elements. Shirou, who was mainly dealing with his own world's magic system, now has to deal with Saber's different magical heritage. This forces him to adapt and learn, showing his intellectual side more. Saber, being from a different time and place, in a crossover might have to face modern - day ethics and values. This challenges her traditional beliefs and shows how she can either hold on to them or evolve. Their relationship in the crossover also allows for exploring their mutual respect and how they can support each other in ways that were not as evident in the original story.
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.
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.
