Another plot could involve Snape having his hair in a ponytail during a time - traveling adventure. He travels back to his own school days, and his ponytail becomes a sort of symbol of his future self. He has to interact with his younger self and other characters while sporting this new - look ponytail, which causes all sorts of interesting reactions.
I recall a fanfic titled 'The Ponytailed Potions Master'. It shows Snape with a messy ponytail during his off - days in Hogwarts. It's a really interesting take as it explores his relationships with other characters in this more laid - back state. He seems more approachable with that ponytail, and the story delves into how others react to this new look.
In fanfiction, Snape's messy ponytail might signify his state of mind. If he's going through a particularly difficult time, like dealing with his feelings for Lily or the stress of being a double agent, the messy ponytail could be a visual cue of his inner chaos. It's a way for the author to give readers a quick insight into his emotional state without having to spell it out all the time. For example, in some stories, when he's feeling especially conflicted, his ponytail is messier than usual.
One plot idea could be that Snape kidnaps a student he suspects of being involved in a dark magic plot against Hogwarts. He wants to question the student privately to get to the bottom of it. Another could be that he kidnaps someone he believes has information about Voldemort's next move, thinking he can protect that person and extract the information at the same time. Or perhaps he kidnaps a character in a fit of jealousy or to protect them from a greater danger he foresees.
The plot could revolve around Darcy's relationship with the other Avengers. With her hair in a ponytail, she stands out as a unique presence. Maybe she has a special connection with one of the Avengers, like a budding romance with Hawkeye. They bond over their skills - his with the bow and arrow, and hers with her scientific acumen. As they face various threats together, her ponytail becomes a recognizable feature, and the story could explore how their relationship develops through different missions.
One idea could be a story where Snape's hair hanging in his face is a symbol of his inner turmoil. Maybe he's hiding his emotions or secrets behind that curtain of hair. Another could be a romantic fanfiction where his love interest is the first to gently brush his hair aside, creating a very intimate moment.
One possible fanfiction could be about Darcy being in the middle of an Avengers mission. With her hair in a ponytail, she might be using her scientific knowledge to help the team. Maybe she's analyzing some strange alien technology they've come across. She could be the one who figures out how to deactivate a dangerous device, all while her ponytail swings as she moves around the battlefield or the research area.
A possible plot in a Naruto with long hair fanfiction could be that he's on a mission in a far - off land where having long hair is a sign of great power. Naruto, being Naruto, decides to grow his hair long to blend in and gain the respect of the locals. As he does this, he discovers new fighting styles that are based around using his long hair as a weapon or a tool. Another interesting plot could be that Naruto's long hair is a result of a curse placed on him by an enemy. He has to find a way to break the curse, but in the process, he realizes that the long hair also gives him some unexpected advantages in combat. For example, he can use it to sense the movements of opponents or to distract them during a fight.
One idea could be that Naruto's blue hair is a sign of a new, powerful chakra form. He has to learn to control it while his friends are both amazed and a bit scared. For example, Sasuke might initially see it as a threat to his own power.
Well, perhaps in the fanfiction, they are all entered into a magical tournament. Harry, being the young and brave one, Snape with his vast knowledge of magic, and Lucius with his family's resources. At first, they are rivals in the tournament but then realize that there is an outside force trying to manipulate the outcome for evil purposes. So they join forces. Or it could be that a powerful dark magic spell has been cast over Hogwarts, and only the combined magic of Harry, Snape and Lucius can break it. They start off distrustful but as they work together, they form an unlikely alliance.
One plot idea could be that Snape takes Hermione under his wing after he discovers her extraordinary magical potential at a young age. He secretly trains her in advanced potions and dark arts defense, much to the surprise of the other Hogwarts faculty. Another could be that Hermione's parents die unexpectedly, and Snape, having a soft spot for her intelligence, steps in as a guardian. He helps her navigate the complex wizarding world politics while she tries to uphold her muggle - born values.
