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.
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.
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.
Well, consider if Graham gets injured while protecting Emma from a dark force. As he recovers, Emma takes care of him, and during this time, they have long conversations about their hopes, dreams, and fears. This situation brings out a more vulnerable side of both of them, and their relationship blossoms into a deeper and more loving connection. They start to share secrets they've never told anyone else and plan for a future together in a world free from the curse.
Their relationship could develop uniquely if Rumple starts to teach Belle some of his magic secrets. This would create a new level of trust and connection between them as they share something so personal and powerful.
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 Snow White, instead of just being the sweet and gentle character, she could have a hidden feisty side. Maybe she has been suppressing it because of her royal upbringing. When she meets Emma Lemon, Emma's boldness encourages her to show this side more. For Emma, she could start off as a bit of a loner but as she gets closer to Snow White, she learns the value of friendship and becomes more open and caring.
Their relationship could develop through shared dreams. Henry starts having dreams about Peter Pan's past adventures in Neverland, and Peter can sense Henry in his dreams too. This creates a bond as they start communicating through the dream realm, sharing secrets and ideas.
Their relationship could be developed by having them learn a new skill together, like sailing a special kind of ship. As they learn the ropes, they rely on each other, understand each other's strengths and weaknesses better, and grow closer.
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.
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.
