I'm not sure of specific 'Hairspray' fanfictions with Link Larkin and a male reader off the top of my head. However, you could also check out FanFiction.net. Some authors might have written about this pairing. Look through the 'Hairspray' category and then narrow it down by the characters you're interested in.
One common theme could be friendship turned into something more. Link Larkin might start as just a friend to the male reader character, and then feelings develop over time. For example, they could bond over their shared love for music or dancing in the 'Hairspray' universe.
Some fanfictions might focus on the challenges that the male reader faces as an outsider in the Hairspray world. Link could then be the one who helps him overcome these challenges, leading to a deeper connection between them. There could also be themes related to acceptance, not just of the male reader by Link, but also of the male reader within the broader Hairspray community.
One great source for 'Hairspray' fanfiction involving a male OC could be Archive of Our Own (AO3). They have a wide range of fan - created stories. Just search for 'Hairspray' and then filter for the male OC tag.
You can try fanfiction websites like Archive of Our Own (AO3). There are often a wide variety of fanfictions there. Just search for 'Hairspray Link x Male Reader' in the search bar and you'll likely find some interesting reads.
Well, one key element is the character development of the male OC. You want to see how the author has created his personality, his backstory, and how he fits into the 'Hairspray' universe. For example, does he have a passion for dancing like the characters in the original story? Another element is the relationship with the other 'Hairspray' characters. How does his link with them progress? Is it a friendship, a rivalry, or something more?
There could be some out there. A lot of fanfiction writers might write about Tracy and Link's journey in the world of 'Hairspray', like their adventures in the dance competitions or how they deal with the social situations in the story. It can be a great way to expand on their characters without going into inappropriate areas.
Perhaps a plot where Tracy and Link are invited to perform in a big city far away. While there, they get involved in a community project to teach dance to underprivileged kids. Along the way, they face some jealous dancers who try to undermine them. But through their love for each other and dance, they overcome all the obstacles and return to their hometown with new experiences and a stronger bond.
One way for their relationship to develop further is through communication. If they start having really deep conversations about their future, like where they see themselves in five or ten years. Maybe they talk about starting their own dance school or going on a world tour together. And if they start sharing more personal things, like their insecurities. For instance, Tracy might share how she sometimes feels like she doesn't belong in the glamorous dance world because of her size, and Link can comfort her and tell her how amazing she is. This kind of emotional intimacy would take their relationship to the next level.
I also like 'Barbarian Link's Encounter with the Reader'. In this one, the story starts with a rather unexpected encounter between Link and the reader. The story then unfolds as they face various challenges together in the barbarian - influenced environment. The way the author builds the relationship between them is really interesting.
One great place to start looking for Link Neal x Reader fanfiction is Archive of Our Own (AO3). There are many well - written stories there that explore different scenarios between Link and the reader. Some might be romantic, others could be more platonic adventures.
