Let the OC have their own goals and motives that are not solely centered around Steve. They could be on a mission to clear their family's name or to expose a big conspiracy in Hawaii. By having their own independent story arc, the OC becomes a more well - rounded and strong character in the fanfiction.
The OC could be a new detective on the team. Steve is initially skeptical of their abilities but as they work together on various cases, he starts to respect and even develop feelings for them. For example, during a high - stakes hostage situation, the OC comes up with a brilliant plan that saves the day, winning Steve's admiration.
He becomes more empathetic. Usually, Steve is a tough character, but in the context of a pregnant OC in fanfiction, he has to understand the emotional and physical challenges the pregnant character is going through. So, he becomes more in tune with emotions.
I really like the fanfic 'Unexpected Encounter'. In this story, the OC character is strong - willed and independent. The relationship between her and Steve McGarrett develops gradually over the course of the story, starting from a chance encounter and evolving into something deeper. It's really engaging to read as it shows how two different personalities can come together.
First, think about the character you want to create. Consider their personality, backstory, and what makes them unique. For example, they could be an ex - military like McGarrett. Then, come up with a plot that involves your OC and McGarrett. It could be a case they solve together or a personal journey they go through. Remember to keep it in line with the overall tone of the show.
A third common theme is the discovery of self. The OC, through her relationship with Steve, often discovers new aspects of herself. For example, she might find that she's braver than she thought when she gets involved in Steve's cases. And Steve too might learn more about himself through his relationship with the OC. It's about two people growing together in a relationship in the context of the Hawaii Five - 0 world.
A good Steve McGarrett x OC fanfiction often has a well - developed OC. The character should have her own personality, goals, and backstory. For example, if the OC is a detective too, her methods could be different from Steve's, which can create interesting interactions.
One great Steve McGarrett OC fanfiction could be 'A New Ally for McGarrett'. It creates an interesting original character who has a unique backstory and then gets involved in McGarrett's world of crime - fighting in Hawaii. The character development is really well - done, making it a great read.
One common storyline could be Steve McGarrett being protective. In the fanfiction, he might find out about the pregnancy and immediately go into a protective mode, ensuring the safety of the pregnant character. He could be seen arranging security, getting medical help, and just being there for every need.
There's also 'Love in Hawaii'. In this fanfiction, the OC is a local doctor. The plot focuses on how she and Steve meet and gradually fall in love. It's full of sweet moments and also some action scenes related to Steve's work. The character development of the OC is really well - done, making her a believable and likable partner for Steve.
The OC can be given special physical abilities. For example, being extremely fast or having great strength. This would help in situations like escaping from zombies or fighting off attackers. In the story, the OC could use these abilities to save Shizuka from dangerous situations, showing his or her strength.
