Perhaps in a fantasy world, a rich lord takes Merlin as his 'sugar baby' not realizing Merlin's true potential as a powerful wizard. As time goes on, Merlin uses his influence over the lord to bring about positive changes in the kingdom, like improving the living conditions of the poor. This could lead to a complex relationship where the lord slowly discovers Merlin's magic and they have to deal with the consequences.
In a different scenario, Merlin is in a difficult situation and is approached by a mysterious 'sugar daddy' who offers him a way out of his troubles. But this 'sugar daddy' has his own agenda which is related to a magical artifact that Merlin has knowledge of. Merlin has to balance his need for help with protecting the artifact and the kingdom from the 'sugar daddy' if his intentions turn out to be bad.
There is this story of a young entrepreneur. She had a great business idea but lacked the capital to start. A sugar daddy she met at a networking event decided to invest in her business. Alongside the financial help, he also shared his business wisdom with her. This support enabled her to launch her business successfully.
One plot idea could be Merlin and Nimue teaming up to save a magical forest that is being threatened by dark forces. They could use their combined magic to fend off the evil entities. Another idea is a time - travel plot where they are sent to the future and have to adapt to the new world while also finding a way back. And perhaps a plot where they are wrongly accused of a crime in Camelot and have to prove their innocence together.
One idea could be Merlin having to deal with the political intrigue of being a king. He might face challenges from nobles who don't trust his magic. Another could be Merlin using his magic in unique ways to improve the kingdom, like creating new irrigation systems for farmers. Or perhaps he has to form alliances with other kingdoms while hiding his true identity as a powerful sorcerer.
One idea could be that Merlin, as a wizard, is hunted by vampires because his magic is seen as a threat to their existence. But then he discovers that some vampires are not as evil as he thought and they form an uneasy alliance to fight a common enemy, like a dark sorcerer.
One idea could be exploring a different magical realm within the 'the merlin conspiracy' universe. Maybe there's a hidden land where the magic is more primal and ancient. Another could be a story about a young wizard who discovers they have a unique connection to Merlin himself and must use that to stop a new dark threat.
A plot could involve Merlin getting cursed and the knights having to find a way to break it without Merlin's magic to guide them. They might have to rely on old legends and their own wits to save him. This could lead to some great character development for the knights as they face challenges they usually rely on Merlin to solve.
One plot idea could be Merlin, as a borrower, is discovered by Arthur. At first, Arthur is shocked but then becomes intrigued. He decides to protect Merlin from the other humans in the castle. Another idea is that Merlin, in his tiny form, uses his magic in new and creative ways to help the borrowers' community. For example, he could create miniature tools or defenses against predators. A third idea might be that Merlin has to go on a quest to find a magical item that can restore his normal size, all while facing the challenges of being so small in a big world.
For Merlin, he could start as a naive character who is initially attracted to the material benefits offered by the 'sugar daddy'. But as the story progresses, he realizes the importance of his own values and magic. He could grow to be more assertive and use his relationship to gain power not for himself but for the greater good. For the 'sugar daddy' character, if he is initially portrayed as self - centered, he could develop feelings for Merlin and start to change his ways, becoming more altruistic.
One idea could be exploring the backstories of the side characters in more detail. For example, the neighbors or the people in the town where the main events take place. Another could be a 'what if' scenario, like what if Satou had made different choices earlier in the story.
Maybe an OC who isn't really into racing but has to enter the races to save their friend who has been trapped in a glitchy part of the track. This OC could be really good at solving puzzles and uses that skill to navigate the dangerous parts of the Sugar Rush courses.
