A more complex plot could be about a conflict within the Shadow Hunter community. Our main Shadow Hunter discovers a dark secret that some in the community are hiding. This leads to a rift, and they must decide whether to expose the truth or keep the peace, all while still dealing with the challenges of the wild.
Another plot could involve the Shadow Hunter getting lost in an enchanted part of the wild. There, they encounter strange and magical beings that are both a threat and a source of knowledge. They have to navigate through this new world while still holding onto their identity as a hunter.
One idea could be the Shadow Hunter having to face a powerful ancient beast in the wild. Maybe it's a creature long forgotten, and the hunter must use all their skills and knowledge passed down through generations to defeat it.
It could be a powerful dark sorcerer. This sorcerer might be trying to corrupt the wild and its creatures for their own gain. The Shadow Hunter would then have to stop the sorcerer's evil plans, which would involve facing many magical and dangerous obstacles.
Another interesting idea is to write from the perspective of one of the minor characters in the story, like one of the sled dogs. How did they view Buck's rise to leadership? What were their own hopes and fears during their time in the team?
One idea could be a new student arriving at the Hunter School with a unique nen ability that no one has seen before. This student then has to prove themselves in various trials and battles against the existing students. For example, they might face off against Gon and Killua in a sparring match that tests not only their physical skills but also their strategic thinking.
One idea could be exploring a different backstory for Alina. Maybe she was born with her powers but had to hide them in a more complex way than in the original story. Another could be a fanfic where Mal and Alina's relationship develops in a parallel universe where the Darkling never existed. This would change the dynamic of their love and how they face the challenges in Ravka.
One idea could be that Geru is a new type of Hunter with a unique nen ability. For example, the ability to manipulate time in a small area. This could lead to all sorts of adventures and challenges. Maybe Geru has to use this power to stop an evil group from stealing precious artifacts in the Hunter x Hunter world. Another idea is that Geru is an OC who is on a quest to find a long - lost family member who is also a Hunter. Along the way, Geru meets different characters from the original series and forms alliances or rivalries.
Another possibility is a crossover with the Percy Jackson series. Since both deal with different mythologies, the Shadow Hunters and the demigods could meet. They could exchange knowledge about their respective mythologies and perhaps work together to defeat a new kind of monster that is emerging due to a mix of their two worlds' magic.
One idea could be a story about a novice hunter who befriends a rare monster instead of hunting it. They form an unlikely bond and together they face other threats in the world. This would add an interesting twist to the typical hunting theme.
One idea could be that as a girl, Shadow has to face different challenges in a male - dominated Sonic world. Maybe she has to prove herself constantly to be accepted as a strong fighter.
One interesting plot idea could be Zelda's pregnancy adding a new layer of vulnerability. The story could focus on how she has to balance her responsibilities as a future mother and her role in the fight against Ganon. For example, Link might become more protective, and this could create some tension within their relationship as Zelda still wants to be actively involved in the battle plans. Another idea is that the pregnancy could be a sign of hope for the kingdom. It could symbolize a new beginning and give the people of Hyrule something positive to look forward to during the dark times.
One idea could be a story about a new villager who arrives in the town and has a special ability to communicate with the local wildlife on a deeper level. They use this ability to solve a mystery, like why some of the fish are disappearing from the river. Another could be a fanfic focused on the friendship between two villagers that overcomes various challenges in the game world, such as a natural disaster or a misunderstanding with other villagers.
