Once Upon a Time: Merida and Macintosh Fanfiction - What Are Some Popular Storylines?

Well, Merida comes from a medieval - like Scottish setting with a strong sense of tradition and magic. Macintosh, on the other hand, is often associated with a more modern or technological world. To blend their backgrounds, the author could have Merida discover a magical portal that leads her to Macintosh's world. There, she could be amazed by the strange machines and new ways of doing things, while Macintosh could be intrigued by her primitive yet powerful magic and her way of life. They could then exchange knowledge and skills, forging a connection between their two very different worlds.

Well, often there are storylines involving the training of new shadowhunters. They face challenges during their training and form strong bonds with their mentors or fellow trainees. Some fanfictions focus on a particular character from the original and give them a backstory that wasn't fully explored in the official work. For example, a side character might be given a whole adventure where they save the day in their own unique way.

Some fanfictions might explore the idea of Baby Emma having some latent magical powers that start to show at a very young age. This could lead to all sorts of adventures and challenges for her family as they try to understand and control these powers, all while keeping her safe from those who might want to use her powers for their own evil purposes.

One popular storyline is them going on adventures together in the Enchanted Forest. They might face various magical creatures and challenges while relying on each other's skills.

Another common one is relationship - centric storylines. Writers often explore how Emma and Hook's relationship develops further, like dealing with misunderstandings or facing challenges together that strengthen their bond. It could be something as simple as a family member not approving of their relationship at first and how they overcome it.

A 'found family' trope is quite common. Characters who were alone or estranged in the show form a close - knit family in fanfiction. For instance, Henry might bring together different characters who then become his new family. Also, the 'hurt/comfort' trope, where a character is hurt (physically or emotionally) and another character comforts them, is frequently used in Once upon a Time fanfics.

One popular storyline could be Ruby and Belle teaming up to solve a mystery in the Enchanted Forest. They might use Ruby's wolf - like senses and Belle's knowledge from all the books she has read.

Family relationships are a big theme. Some fanfics focus on the family dynamics between characters like the Charmings and their descendants. There are also fanfictions that revolve around the theme of identity. Characters in 'Once upon a time' often have complex identities, and fan writers like to dig deeper into how these identities are formed and how they can change over time.

A prevalent trope is the 'reincarnation' trope. Fans might write about how the characters are reincarnated in different time periods or worlds and how their relationships are rekindled. 'Power - swapping' is another interesting one, where characters exchange their powers and how that affects their relationships and the story. There are also 'secret relationship' tropes, especially for characters who had a lot of chemistry on the show but never got together officially, like Belle and Will Scarlet. Writers create scenarios where they have a secret relationship and all the drama that comes with it.

One popular storyline is about Ruby, Regina and Emma teaming up to fight a new, powerful villain in Storybrooke. They combine their different powers and skills to save the town.
