What are some possible storylines in 'Harry Merchant Death Fanfic'?

One possible plot could be that Harry and Tony are both merchants in a dangerous world. Master is a powerful figure who controls the market. Death starts to target the merchants due to some ancient curse. Harry and Tony must team up, using their skills as merchants to find a way to break the curse and avoid death, while also dealing with Master's underhanded attempts to take over their businesses.

One possible storyline could be that the Death Eater has a change of heart due to a past connection with Harry's parents. Maybe they were once friends before turning to the dark side, and seeing Harry in danger awakens their conscience. For example, they might remember a kindness Harry's mother showed them long ago. Another idea is that the Death Eater is acting out of self - interest. They realize that Harry's death could lead to chaos that might not be in their favor. So, they save Harry to maintain some sort of order in the wizarding world that benefits them. A third possibility is that the Death Eater has a secret prophecy or prediction that saving Harry will lead to their own redemption or a great reward in the future.

Perhaps it's a story set in a post - apocalyptic world. Harry and Tony Merchant were trying to survive. They got into a conflict with a brutal gang. During the fight, Merchant got fatally injured. Harry then had to carry on with Merchant's unfinished business and seek revenge.

One possible storyline could be that Death is initially set on claiming Puss in Boots as he did in the movie, but then some magical force intervenes and binds them together in a quest. They have to work together to overcome various obstacles and in the process, they learn about each other's fears and desires. For example, Puss in Boots might teach Death about the value of life and living in the moment, while Death shows Puss the inevitability of his end, which makes Puss reevaluate his bravado.

Obviously, Harry and Tony Merchant are the main characters. Harry could be a heroic type, with special abilities or skills. Tony Merchant might be a more complex character, perhaps a bit of a rogue but with a good heart.

There could be an antagonist in the fanfic. Maybe someone who had a vendetta against Harry Merchant and was somehow involved in his death. This character would add conflict to the story as the people left behind try to figure out what really happened to Harry.

One possible storyline could be that Harry is under the influence of a dark spell that makes him act out of character and be unfaithful. Another could be that he gets caught up in a dangerous mission where he has to pretend to be involved with someone else for the sake of secrecy and Ginny misinterprets it as cheating. Maybe there's a new character who manipulates Harry into thinking he has feelings for her.

A possible storyline could be that Death starts to protect Liesel from the harsher aspects of the war. As Liesel tries to save books and preserve knowledge, Death ensures that no harm comes to her during her secret missions. Their friendship grows as they realize they are both fighting against the destruction of something valuable, for Liesel it's books and for Death it's the beauty of human lives.

One possible storyline could be that Cloud Strife sacrifices himself to save the world from a new and powerful threat. Maybe a dark force emerges that is too strong for his friends to handle alone, and he makes the ultimate sacrifice, similar to his heroic deeds in the original game.

One possible storyline could be Harry's struggle with his newfound loneliness and how it affects his magic. He might start to isolate himself more from his friends at Hogwarts, fearing that he'll lose them too. Another could be Harry's determination to avenge Sirius by seeking out the Death Eaters responsible for his death more aggressively.
