In some fanfictions, Anakin might hurt Padme out of misdirected anger or because he's being manipulated by the Dark Side. This can add a tragic element to their relationship, which was already complex in the original movies. It can also be a way for writers to show the consequences of Anakin's choices on those he loves most.
One possible reason for such a plot in fanfiction could be to explore the darker side of Anakin's character. His fall to the Dark Side in the official Star Wars lore was gradual, and in fanfiction, this could be an extreme manifestation of that. Maybe it shows how the power of the Dark Side can corrupt relationships as well.
Often, this type of fanfiction delves into the psychological aspects of both characters. Padme's reaction could range from shock to trying to save Anakin from himself. It might also explore themes of redemption, as Anakin may later realize his mistake and seek to make amends, creating a more complex and engaging narrative than the straightforward love story in the movies.
