It gives fans a chance to explore different 'what - if' scenarios. By seeing the Avengers' reactions, fans can get a deeper understanding of the characters.
Some fans might be disappointed. Fanfiction often allows them to explore different scenarios with Naruto's character. If he gives it up, it's like closing a door on those creative possibilities.
In a Giyuu x Shinobu fanfic, the setting and plot can vary widely. Some might be set during the main events of the Demon Slayer universe, with them facing demons together. Others could be more of an alternate universe story, where they meet under different circumstances, like in a modern - day high school AU. The fanfic could also delve into their backstories and how those experiences shape their relationship. For instance, Shinobu's past with her sister could play a role in how she opens up to Giyuu, and vice versa for Giyuu's own traumas.
I would recommend 'Whispers of the Heart' for Giyuu x Shinobu fans. This fanfic focuses on their unspoken understanding. It's full of small moments that build up their relationship, like when Shinobu leaves a small flower on Giyuu's doorstep as a sign of her care. Also, 'Shadows and Sunlight' is worth checking out. It has a great plot that involves them having to go on a secret mission together and how that journey changes their relationship from colleagues to something more intimate.
The Naruto fandom would likely be very divided. Some fans would be extremely outraged as it goes against the core values and character of Naruto. They might condemn such a fanfiction.
On the other hand, there would be fans who would welcome it. Maybe they never liked the pairing in the first place or they think it adds an interesting twist to the story. They could start exploring new relationships for both Sasuke and Sakura in their own fan - created stories.
