A really interesting fanfiction could be set in a parallel universe where the events of the 2018 Fairy Tail anime are just a legend. The characters in this new world are trying to discover the truth behind this 'legendary' story and end up having their own adventures based on what they find out about the original anime's events.
One great fanfiction could be about an alternate ending where the characters face a different final battle. Maybe in this story, Natsu has to overcome a new kind of dark magic that wasn't in the original anime.
There might be a fanfiction that focuses on the relationships between the characters more deeply. For example, how Gray and Juvia's relationship develops further during the events of 2018 in the Fairy Tail world. It could show their daily interactions and how they support each other in different situations.
