Edward and Bella from 'Twilight' are often used in difficult love fanfiction. Their relationship has elements of danger and the struggle between Edward's vampire nature and Bella's human existence. Another pair could be Harry Potter and Hermione Granger.

There could be a love interest for the queen. This could be a brave knight or a powerful wizard who catches her eye and becomes an important part of the story.
Xena herself is obviously a central character. Gabrielle is also often involved, either as a confidante to Xena in her accidental love situation or sometimes even as a potential source of romantic tension if the story takes an interesting turn.
Sometimes, Randy Orton might be involved. His calculated and somewhat menacing character could be used in a horror story where he becomes the victim of a strange and terrifying curse that affects his in - ring performance and his mental state.
Natsu is often a popular character. His fiery nature and strong loyalty make him a great candidate for love - centered stories. The 'blood' part could be related to his dragon - slayer heritage, which might play a role in some kind of blood - magic or a connection to an ancient dragon bloodline that ties into a love story.
Draco Malfoy is also a common character in such fanfiction. He could be the one rejecting love or having his love rejected. Maybe he falls for a muggle - born witch but his pure - blood family values make him reject his own feelings. Or, a Gryffindor girl could reject Draco's advances because of his past bullying, which would be an interesting exploration of how Draco might change or react to such rejection.
Ladybug and Chat Noir are often the main characters in such fanfiction. Their complex relationship and unspoken feelings for each other make them perfect candidates for love spell - related stories. Writers might explore how a love spell could either strengthen or complicate their relationship.
Obviously, Harry and Hermione are the main characters. They are the focus of the love potion's effect. Whether it's Hermione being affected by the potion and having new - found feelings for Harry, or vice versa, their relationship is at the center of the story.

Often, Harry Potter himself could be one of the main characters in such fanfictions. Maybe he has an accidental love encounter with a new character introduced in the fanfiction, someone who might be from a different house or have a unique magical ability.
