For an interesting plot, imagine that Alois and Ciel find themselves in a parallel world where their roles are reversed. Alois is now the more proper and reserved one while Ciel is the more flamboyant and unpredictable. This role - reversal forces them to see things from the other's perspective. They have to adapt to this new world and each other. Maybe in this world, there is a prophecy that only they can fulfill together. As they strive to do so, their relationship evolves. They might start off hating the change but gradually come to accept and rely on each other more than ever.
Well, Ciel and Alois' relationship in fanfiction can be quite complex. Some fanfictions might focus on their rivalry evolving into an unexpected friendship. They are two very different characters, with Ciel being more reserved and Alois being more erratic. In fanfictions, writers often explore how they could influence each other's growth and development.
In Black Butler Alois x Ciel fanfiction, a frequent theme is the idea of redemption. Despite their often cruel actions, some fanfictions try to show a path of redemption for either or both of them. Also, the theme of rivalry is common. They compete for various things, like influence in the underworld or the loyalty of certain characters. And there's the theme of emotional turmoil, as both Alois and Ciel have deep - seated emotions that are often in conflict with each other.
One idea could be that Claude discovers a hidden power within Ciel that even Ciel himself is unaware of. This power could be related to Ciel's past or family heritage. Another plot could be that Claude has to protect Ciel from a new and powerful enemy that is specifically targeting Ciel for some unknown reason. Maybe this enemy has a connection to Claude's past as well.
One plot idea could be the reader being a new servant in the Phantomhive manor. Ciel is initially suspicious but as time passes, he starts to trust and rely on the reader in a unique way. Maybe the reader has a special skill that helps Ciel in his investigations or in dealing with the other nobles.
Alois and Ciel could be united by a common goal, such as saving their respective households from a greater threat. They would need to put aside their differences and work together. In the process, they would communicate more, sharing their thoughts and strategies. This would help them understand each other better without any romantic undertones. They might start to see each other as comrades in arms rather than enemies or potential love interests.
Some fanfictions might explore a scenario where Ciel and Alois are reincarnated in a modern - day setting. In this new world, they don't have the same baggage as in the original Black Butler world. They meet in a school or a workplace and start to develop feelings for each other. This allows for a fresh take on their relationship, with new challenges and opportunities for them to fall in love in a different context.
I also like the fanfictions where Alois becomes Ciel's protector in a dangerous situation. It goes against their typical relationship where they are often at odds. But in these stories, Alois's impulsive nature is redirected into protecting Ciel, and Ciel has to learn to trust Alois, which is a huge step for him. It's a fresh take on their relationship and can lead to some really heartwarming moments between the two characters.
One idea could be that fem Ciel has to attend a grand ball and Sebastian helps her get ready in a very intimate way, like choosing the perfect dress and doing her hair, while they share some flirty banter. Another could be that fem Ciel gets into trouble with a rival noble and Sebastian uses his demonic powers in a very creative way to protect her, all while their relationship deepens. And perhaps a plot where fem Ciel discovers a secret about Sebastian's past that makes her see him in a new light and changes the dynamic of their relationship.
The contrast between Ciel and Alois. Ciel is all about revenge and Alois is desperate for love. In fanfiction, this contrast can lead to some intense and fascinating interactions.
A good one often has well - developed characters. The author should capture the essence of Ciel, Alois, and the Reader character. For example, Ciel's stoicism and Alois' unpredictability need to be portrayed accurately. The Reader character should also be relatable and not just a blank slate.
