One great Yukimura x Ryoma fanfiction is 'The Bond Beyond the Court'. It delves deep into their relationship as they face challenges together. It shows how their different playing styles can complement each other off - court as well. Another one is 'A New Beginning' which focuses on Ryoma's return to Japan after some time away and how Yukimura is there to welcome him back into the tennis world in a very heart - warming way.
According to the information in the novel, there was no story between Ryoma and Sakurano. However, I can recommend some Doujinshi novels about the tennis prince, such as "The Star of the Net King","The Tsundere Loli of the Net King","The Ugly Duckling of the Net King's Former Home", etc. I hope you like my recommendations.

One great 'Female Ryoma' fanfiction is 'The Girl Who Played Like Ryoma'. It has an interesting plot where the female Ryoma challenges the traditional male - dominated tennis world in the Prince of Tennis universe.
One great fanfic is 'A New Beginning for Ryoma and Sakuno'. It shows their relationship evolving in a really sweet way. They start off as friends but gradually realize their deeper feelings for each other. The author does a great job of keeping their personalities true to the original series.
πI recommend the following three novels to you:
1. "King of the Net: Thunder Eight Trigrams, the opening move." The story was about God Without Faith who created a dominant position in an era and became a top player.
2. "The King of the Net: Starting with the Breathing Technique" described the golden age of tennis. In a world where tennis was king, what kind of waves could a female lead cause after receiving the inheritance of the Ghost Blade Breathing Technique?
3. "Net King: Binding the Leader System at the Beginning!": It was a story of a protagonist who had no strength or skills and had transmigrated to the world of the King of the Nets. He had reached the peak with the help of the basketball leader system.
The above is my personal recommendation. I sincerely hope you like it ~
There were many novels about Ryuma, including the sports-sports novel "Neko: Thunder Bagua,""Neko Begins with Breathing Technique," and the light novel-doujin derivative novel "Neko: Loli Becomes a Big Sister,""Neko: Star of Neko,""Quick Wear: Neko Male God Strategy,""Neko: Cat Tsundere Loli,""The Stage of the World of the New tennis Prince," and "Neko: Starting from Getting the Shuranoban, The Ugly Duckling of the Net King, The Fox Demon Princess Battles the Prince of tennis, and the city-city supernatural novel, Super Master of tennis, etc. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation.

I can't provide the full number of episodes where Ryoma and Sakurano fall in love in 'The Prince of Tennis'. The Prince of Tennis was a Japanese anime, in which the relationship between Ryoma and Sakurano was not clearly stated in the plot. Although they sometimes interacted, it was not certain if they had established a relationship. If you have any more questions, I'd be happy to help you answer them.
You can start by looking on fanfiction platforms like FanFiction.net or Archive of Our Own. They usually have a large collection of Prince of Tennis fanfictions featuring Ryoma and Sakuno. Just search for relevant tags or keywords, and you'll be presented with a variety of stories to choose from.
Another theme is growth. Ryoma is constantly growing as a tennis player, and in some fanfictions, Sakuno plays a role in his growth, either by providing emotional support or inspiring him in some way. And vice versa, Sakuno might also grow in confidence or character with Ryoma's influence.
Love or romantic interest is also a common theme. The OC may start as an admirer of Ryoma and gradually their relationship blossoms into a romantic one. This adds an extra layer of drama and emotion to the story, as they balance their feelings with their tennis careers.
