To develop their relationship further in fanfiction, they could be put in situations where they have to rely solely on each other. For instance, if they were stranded on a deserted island. They would have to hunt for food, build shelter, and protect each other from any threats. This shared experience would strengthen their bond. Also, they could have heart - to - heart conversations about their fears and hopes. Maybe Snow is afraid of losing Emma again, and Emma is hoping to find her true place in this magical world. By discussing these things, they would grow closer.
They could start a magical training school together. Snow White has her own knowledge of magic from her long life in the fairy - tale world, and Emma has her unique brand of modern - day magic. By teaching others, they would also be learning from each other. They would have to work together to design the curriculum, deal with difficult students, and face any magical threats that come their way. This would create a partnership that goes beyond just friendship, as they are building something important together and depending on each other's skills and knowledge.
Their relationship could be developed realistically through shared experiences. For example, if they both work on solving a mystery in town, they'll start to trust and rely on each other more. They might also have small, everyday interactions like having coffee together and gradually getting to know each other's quirks and pasts.
For Emma, you could explore her insecurities more deeply. Maybe she doubts her role as a hero because she's made mistakes in the past. Snow White could help her see that everyone makes mistakes and it's how you grow from them that matters. For Snow White, you could show her dealing with modern - day concepts she doesn't understand, which Emma could introduce to her. This would make her character more complex as she tries to adapt.
There's also a fanfic titled 'The Snow Queen's Redemption'. In this story, the Snow Queen is not entirely the villain. Emma discovers there are more layers to her, and they end up forming an unlikely alliance. It's really interesting to see how their characters develop together throughout the story.
Emma could be developed by showing her reactions to different situations. For example, when faced with danger, does she run or does she stand up and fight? Her parents can be developed through their interactions with Emma. If they are overprotective, it can create conflict which in turn can show more about their personalities.
One common theme is their mother - daughter relationship. Since Snow is Emma's mother in the show, many fanfictions explore their bond, how they grow closer, or deal with the challenges of their relationship.
One idea could be that Snow and Emma go on a magical quest together to find a long - lost artifact that has the power to save their kingdom from a dark curse. Another could be a story where they get transported to an alternate reality and have to figure out how to get back while also dealing with the strange new world. Or perhaps a plot where they have to team up to defeat an ancient evil that has been awakened.
Their relationship in fanfiction can also be tested in different ways. Maybe a new character comes along and tries to drive a wedge between them. Or they face a situation where they have to make difficult choices that could potentially affect their relationship, like choosing between saving their kingdom or each other.
Their relationship could develop through shared experiences. For example, if they face a common enemy in the fanfiction, they might rely on each other's skills. This mutual dependence can strengthen their bond.
One idea could be that Snow White and Emma have to team up to defeat a new dark curse. They might discover a hidden power within Snow White that can only be unlocked with Emma's magic. Another plot could involve them going on a journey to find a long - lost relic that has the power to save Storybrooke. Or perhaps they get transported to a different realm and have to rely on each other to find their way back home while also facing various challenges along the way.
