In many fanfics, the relationship between Emma and Ray is often portrayed as a strong bond. They have grown up together in the orphanage, and that shared history forms the foundation of their connection. For example, some fanfics might show Ray being overly protective of Emma because he knows her so well and has seen her kindness and naivete which he wants to preserve.
Some fanfics might also explore the romantic aspect of their relationship. Since they have such a deep emotional connection, it's natural for some writers to take it in a romantic direction. They might write about the first time they realize they have feelings for each other. It could be a slow - burn kind of romance, starting from simple glances and small touches, gradually building up to a more profound love. This can add a whole new layer of depth to their relationship as seen in fanfics.
