In some lemon fanfictions, their relationship might develop more quickly. For example, Simba could have a series of adventures where he discovers more about his father's past in a very short time. This new knowledge could make him idolize Mufasa even more and strive to be like him sooner.
In this fanfiction, it could be that Mufasa is brought back to life by some magical force. When he meets Simba, there is an initial shock and then pure joy. They then set out to restore the Pride Lands to an even greater glory. Mufasa shares his long - lost knowledge about the hidden parts of the Pride Lands, and together they form a stronger bond as father and son while working towards the betterment of their kingdom.
A new character could be introduced as the antagonist. For example, a powerful and greedy hyena who wants to take over the Pride Lands. When Mufasa and Simba meet, they have to team up to fight this new threat. The hyena might have some special powers or a large army of his own followers.
One possible plot twist could be that Simba, instead of facing Scar alone in the final battle, teams up with an unexpected ally from the outskirts of the Pride Lands. Maybe a group of outcast animals who have their own reasons to oppose Scar's tyranny. This would change the whole dynamic of the classic story and add a new layer of complexity.
I don't think it's appropriate. These characters are iconic and are part of a story that has a wide - ranging audience. Mating is a rather private and adult - like concept. Writing fanfiction in this regard could potentially be offensive to those who enjoy the pure and positive aspects of Simba and Nala's story in the original movie. It could also set a bad example for younger fans who look up to these characters.
It could be about their adventures as young lions. Maybe they explore a new part of the Pride Lands together, facing some challenges like crossing a dangerous river or dealing with a tricky animal that tries to mislead them.
The main characters are clearly young Simba and Nala. Simba is the future king, full of energy and a bit of naivete at this young age. Nala is his friend and also a strong - willed young lioness.
To develop their characters further, we could explore their relationship with the other animals in the Pride Lands more deeply. Simba could interact more with the meerkats and warthogs, learning from them and bringing new ideas back to the pride. Nala could form closer bonds with the lionesses, and together they could start new traditions in the pride. This would show different aspects of their personalities and how they contribute to the community. Also, we could see how they handle conflicts within the pride, like when some of the younger lions question the old ways. This would test their patience and wisdom, and help them grow as characters.
Perhaps in the fanfiction, there could be a new threat to the Pride Lands that only Simba and Nala, as a team, can overcome. They have to go on a journey to seek the help of an old and wise animal who gives them the knowledge and power to defeat the threat. This journey tests their relationship and their loyalty to the Pride Lands.
Some fanfictions might show young Simba's first attempts at leading. For example, when the adults are away, he tries to organize the young animals in the Pride Lands for a small task like finding a new water source. It could be full of comical moments as well as teach him about responsibility. Another idea for a fanfiction could be young Simba's encounter with a group of nomadic animals passing through the Pride Lands. He has to decide whether to trust them or not, and this encounter broadens his view of the world outside his pride. And then there could be a fanfiction where young Simba has a spiritual journey, guided by the spirits of his ancestors, which gives him a deeper understanding of his place in the circle of life.
