A more emotional plot could be that Alaric, who has seen Elena go through so much, helps her come to terms with the losses she has faced. They could go on a road trip, during which Elena slowly heals and they develop a deep, platonic connection.
Perhaps a fanfic where Alaric, after his many experiences, decides to train Elena in some unique combat and survival skills. This could lead to a strong bond between them as they spend time together training and sharing their stories.
One plot idea could be that Alaric and Caroline team up to solve a mystery in Mystic Falls. Maybe there's a new supernatural threat that the other characters are oblivious to, and they have to use their combined knowledge and skills to figure it out. Another could be a story where Alaric becomes Caroline's mentor in something, like teaching her more about history or how to handle certain magical artifacts. It could also be a story where they get trapped in an alternate dimension together and have to find their way back while dealing with their own personal issues and growing closer in the process.
One idea could be a story where Katherine and Elena have to team up to fight a new, powerful supernatural threat in Mystic Falls. They put aside their differences and use their combined skills and knowledge to outwit the enemy.
One idea could be Elena discovers a hidden power within herself that she has to learn to control. It could lead to her having to face new enemies or challenges in the 'vd' world.
They would likely become closer. The shared experience of having a child on the way would create a strong bond between them. Alaric would probably be very protective of Elena.
One possible plot twist could be that the pregnancy is not what it seems at first. Maybe it's a magical or supernatural occurrence rather than a normal one. For example, it could be part of a spell gone wrong.
Bonnie could be a great addition. She's Elena's best friend, and her magic could play a role in the fanfic. Maybe she helps Alaric and Elena when they are facing a powerful enemy. Also, her friendship with Elena can add depth to the story.
One great 'Alaric and Elena fanfiction' is 'A New Bond'. It delves into a different kind of friendship between them. Another one could be 'Alaric's Guidance for Elena' which shows Alaric as a mentor figure to Elena in a unique way. There's also 'The Unseen Moments' that focuses on their interactions that were not shown in the original series.
A really interesting plot could be that Elena and Mateo get transported to a different realm. In this realm, their powers work differently and they have to learn how to adapt and work together to find a way back home. They meet new allies and enemies in this strange new world and their relationship deepens as they rely on each other for survival.
Well, a great plot could be that Elena discovers she's pregnant and it sets off a chain of events that forces her to re - evaluate her relationships. She might have to lean on friends like Bonnie and Caroline more than ever. And as for the pregnancy itself, there could be some sort of mystery about the baby having special powers or a unique connection to the supernatural elements around her.
There's also 'A New Beginning for Elena and Alaric'. This fanfiction focuses on how they deal with the aftermath of certain events in the show. It delves deep into their emotions and shows how they support each other through tough times. It's a really heartwarming read.
