In 'deku meets future deku fanfiction', perhaps the future Deku warns the present one about upcoming threats. He could tell him about villains he'll face in the future and how to defeat them. This would give the present Deku an edge in his battles and also in his growth as a hero.
I think Uraraka would be very excited. She has always been a big supporter of Deku. Meeting Future Deku would give her a chance to see how far he has come, and she might also get some inspiration for her own hero journey. Plus, she's a friendly and emotional character, so she'd likely be thrilled at the opportunity.
In such a fanfiction, perhaps future Gohan could warn present - day Gohan about upcoming threats that he has faced in his own timeline. He might share his experiences and knowledge, which could make present Gohan a stronger fighter and a wiser person.
Another possibility is that a new villain emerges as a result of the time - travel or whatever mechanism brings future Deku to the present. This villain could be from a future where Deku's actions (or inactions) have led to a more dangerous world, and he travels back in time to stop Deku from making those mistakes again. However, his methods are extreme and dangerous, making him the antagonist of the story.
A possible plot twist could be that future Gohan is actually an impostor sent by an enemy to manipulate the real Gohan. Another twist might be that when they meet, their powers combine in an unexpected way that causes some sort of time rift or a change in the timeline.
In a fanfiction where Future Gohan meets Goku, it could be an emotional reunion. Gohan might be filled with a sense of relief and joy, seeing his father again. He could show Goku all the things he's been through in the future, and Goku would be both proud and sad about what his son has endured.
Future Gohan's character development would likely involve him becoming more resolute and determined. After all the hardships he's faced, he would grow stronger both physically and mentally. He might start as a somewhat broken hero, but as the story progresses, he'd regain his confidence and find new purpose in protecting what's left of his world.
Definitely their strong bond. They have been through so much together, so highlighting their loyalty and trust for each other is great. Also, their different fighting styles can add action - packed scenes. For example, Gohan's more methodical and strategic approach against Trunks' more impulsive and aggressive style.
In a fanfiction, Future Gohan and Android 18 could have a relationship based on redemption. Android 18 has done some not - so - great things in the past.

This could involve Gohan protecting 18 from other threats, and in return, 18 could use her android powers to help Gohan in his battles. Their relationship could be a slow - burn type, gradually evolving from distrust to a strong friendship or even more, depending on how the fanfiction unfolds.
