One common theme is the 'opposites attract' concept. Shikamaru's laziness contrasted with Sakura's determination. Another is the idea of friendship turning into love as they get to know each other better over time.

A different fanfiction could explore an alternate universe where Shikamaru and Sakura are paired as genin teammates instead of Naruto and Sasuke.

Sakura may become more patient. In the original story, she can be a bit hot - headed, but in the arranged marriage scenario, she has to deal with Shikamaru's laid - back nature.
