There's also 'Elizabeth's Hidden Strengths'. This fanfiction focuses on Elizabeth's untapped potential. It shows her in situations where she has to use her wits and skills, which is quite different from her usual portrayal in the original work. It's a refreshing take on her character.
It's also because of the relationship she has with Ciel. Fans love to read different interpretations of their relationship, whether it's more romantic, platonic, or full of conflict. Fanfiction gives a platform to explore all these possibilities.
You could write a fanfic where the Black Butler characters react to different art forms. Suppose they visit an art museum in a modern setting. Sebastian, with his refined taste, would have in - depth critiques of the paintings and sculptures, while Ciel might be more drawn to the darker or more mysterious artworks. Or they could react to a live theater performance, with Ciel being amazed at the actors' skills and Sebastian observing the behind - the - scenes details like the stagecraft and the actors' emotions.
First, decide which characters from Black Butler you want to focus on. If you're writing a react fanfic, choose characters with distinct personalities like Sebastian and Ciel. Then, think of the situation or 'thing' they will be reacting to. It could be as simple as a new type of tea. Next, start with a strong opening that sets the scene. For example, 'Sebastian entered the room, a curious look on his face as he beheld the strange new brew.'
One interesting scenario could be the characters reacting to modern technology. For example, Sebastian might be both intrigued and a bit disdainful of a smartphone, finding it a curious yet overly complex device compared to the more straightforward tools of his own era. Ciel, on the other hand, could see it as a useful tool for gathering information quickly.
Perhaps a story where Elizabeth and Ciel time - travel back to a period before all the tragedy in Ciel's life occurred. Elizabeth could then try to prevent the events that led to Ciel's current state. This would involve her getting to know a more innocent Ciel and also dealing with the consequences of changing the past, such as how it might affect their relationship in the present.
One possible fanfiction could be about Ciel and Elizabeth having a lemon - themed picnic. They could be sitting in a beautiful garden, with Elizabeth bringing lemon - filled pastries and Ciel being a bit hesitant at first but then enjoying them. Another could be a story where they go on a trip to a lemon orchard and have various adventures there.
Grell is quite popular as well. His over - the - top personality and his unorthodox views make for some really entertaining reaction scenarios. He can go from being overly dramatic to having some surprisingly deep insights in fanfiction.
Their relationship can be explored through shared experiences with lemons. For example, they could discover a new lemon - flavored tea together and it becomes 'their' thing. This simple act can show how they bond over something new and different.
Ciel might start off seeing Elizabeth as just part of his obligation due to their engagement. But as time goes on in the fanfiction, he could start to notice her inner strength and kindness, which makes him develop deeper feelings for her. For example, if she stands by him during a difficult time, he'll see her in a new light.
