The relationship between Greg and Rodrick in Diary of a Wimpy Kid fanfiction is really interesting. Greg is the younger, more nerdy brother, while Rodrick is the cool, older brother. In fanfiction, some authors might depict Greg as being in awe of Rodrick's 'coolness' and Rodrick might start to see Greg as more than just a nuisance. For example, a fanfic could have a plot where Greg gets into trouble at school and Rodrick, instead of making fun of him, actually helps him out. This would be a big shift in their typical dynamic and could lead to a deeper, more brotherly bond in the fanfiction world.
In the fanfiction, their relationship might start with Rodrick teasing Greg as usual. But then, an event like Greg getting into trouble at school and Rodrick being the only one who can help him out changes things. Rodrick realizes he has a responsibility towards his younger brother. This makes Greg see Rodrick in a new light, and they start to become closer.
They could start by having more in - depth conversations. For example, sharing their dreams and fears. If Greg tells Rowley about his fear of not being popular in high school, and Rowley comforts him, it would deepen their bond.
One interesting scenario could be when Rodrick and Greg have to team up for a school project. Rodrick, being the older and more rebellious one, might initially resist but then realizes Greg has some unique ideas. They start working together and in the process, they understand each other better. For example, Greg might come up with a creative concept for the project that Rodrick at first dismisses but later sees the potential in.
One possible plot could be that Frank Bryce, who is an older character, becomes an unexpected mentor to Greg. Maybe Greg gets into some trouble in the neighborhood, like dealing with a bully who is targeting younger kids. Frank Bryce, with his life experiences, teaches Greg how to stand up to the bully in a smart way, not just with brute force. This could involve Frank sharing his own stories of facing difficulties when he was young, and Greg learning valuable lessons from them.

Moreover, the exploration of different personalities within the family context is a theme. Greg's more timid nature compared to Rodrick's more rebellious one, and how they interact and influence each other in the fanfiction stories.
Maybe they could go on a camping trip. During the trip, they get lost in the woods. This forces them to rely on each other more than ever. They share stories, overcome their fears of the dark and strange noises, and their bond becomes even stronger as a result.
Greg is often self - centered and focused on his own little world in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. Frank Bryce, having lived a long life, has a broader view of the community and the people in it.
