What are some interesting plot ideas for 'date a live fanfic'?

One idea could be exploring an alternate universe where the spirits have different powers and relationships. For example, making Tohka have the power to control time and seeing how that changes her interactions with Shido. Another could be a story focused on the backstories of the spirits before they became spirits, like what Kurumi's life was like as a normal human. Maybe a fanfic where Shido has to go through a series of trials to prove his love for the spirits in a more extreme way than in the original story.

Well, you could have a plot where Kurumi gets trapped in a dream world created by another entity. In this world, she has to face her deepest fears and insecurities. As she battles through this, she discovers new aspects of her powers. Or there could be a fanfic where Kurumi is accidentally sent to a parallel universe where things are very different, and she has to find her way back while also dealing with the differences in that universe. Also, a story about Kurumi sharing her experiences with a young spirit who is just coming to terms with her own powers could be really engaging.

A plot idea could be that a powerful Spirit in Date A Live is somehow transported to the Naruto world. This Spirit's power causes chaos, and Naruto and his friends have to figure out how to send it back. Along the way, they discover that the Spirit has a tragic past similar to some of the characters in Naruto. This leads to an unexpected bond between them.

One idea could be that the main character has memories of their past lives and uses that knowledge to change the fates of the Spirits in a more positive way. For example, they might be able to prevent some of the more tragic events that usually occur in the original story.

One possible plot could be that the Date A Live characters somehow end up in the Harry Potter universe. Maybe they are there to stop a new kind of threat that combines the magic from the Potter world and the spirits' powers from Date A Live. The wizards are initially suspicious of them but then realize they need to work together.

A plot could involve a mystery where the characters are bound by a strange occurrence. Maybe there are strange disappearances in the idol world, and they have to use their skills and friendship to solve it. It would add an element of suspense and also show how their love for the idol life and each other helps them through tough times.

The plot twists in the Date A Live light novels are quite something. It's not just about the protagonist, Shido, sealing the spirits. There are deeper conspiracies and relationships that unfold as the story progresses. The way the different timelines and alternate universes are sometimes hinted at adds an extra layer of mystery.

Perhaps in the fanfic, one of the members has become a successful solo artist but is feeling a bit lost and lonely. The reunion is proposed as a way to regain that sense of purpose and connection. They all come together, and during the process, they share their individual experiences since the group disbanded. This leads to a deeper understanding among them and a new start for the group, not just in terms of performing but also in their personal relationships.

In a 'Naruto in Date A Live' fanfiction, Naruto could be a key figure in preventing a total war between the Spirits and humans. His ability to understand and empathize with outcasts (like he did with Gaara) could help him communicate with the Spirits on a deeper level. He could teach Shido some of his ninja techniques to better protect the Spirits and also use his own chakra to help stabilize the space - quakes caused by the Spirits, thus bringing a new hope for peace in the Date A Live world.

Character development. The self - inserted character can grow and change in unique ways within the existing 'date a live' framework.
