Well, there are multiple challenges. Firstly, the fans of the original series might have very set ideas about these characters, and any deviation from those ideas in a love fanfiction might not be well - received. Secondly, creating a connection between them needs to be done carefully. Since they don't have much interaction in the canon, the writer has to invent situations where they meet and interact in a way that leads to love. And finally, making their love story interesting enough to hold the reader's attention among all the other fanfiction out there is also a big task.
The first challenge is the lack of pre - established romantic context between them in the original source material. Writers have to build this from scratch. Also, their different allegiances and goals can be a hindrance. For example, if they are on opposite sides in a war, it's tough to justify how they can fall in love. Moreover, their unique physical forms and abilities might be hard to incorporate into a love - centered narrative in a natural way.
One challenge is their personalities. Soundwave is often portrayed as cold and calculating, while Airachnid is more devious and self - serving. It's difficult to make their relationship seem believable given these traits. Another challenge is their place in the overall story. They are not the main characters in most of the original stories, so it can be hard to fit their love story into the existing lore without disrupting it too much.
There's also the challenge of making the story engaging. Since it's a fanfiction, it has to stand out from the many other stories out there. You need to come up with unique plot twists and a good pacing. Maybe start with a hook like Airachnid making an unexpected offer to Jack in the middle of a battle. Then build the story from there, making sure to keep the reader interested at every step.
One plot idea could be that Soundwave and Airachnid are on a mission together and they start to develop a grudging respect for each other's skills. As they face various challenges, this respect slowly turns into an unexpected friendship. Another could be that they are both after the same powerful artifact. At first they are rivals, but then they realize they can achieve more by teaming up. And finally, they might be caught in a situation where they have to protect each other from a common enemy, which makes them see each other in a new light.
One possible plot could be that they start as enemies due to their different factions. But as they are forced to work together on a mission, they gradually see the good in each other. Arcee might be initially suspicious of Airachnid's motives, but Airachnid shows a softer side, perhaps saving Arcee from a dangerous situation. This leads to a growing attraction between them and they start to fall in love secretly, hiding their relationship from their respective groups.
One common theme could be the 'forbidden love' aspect, as they are from different sides (Airachnid being a Decepticon and Jack being a human). Another might be the idea of redemption for Airachnid through her relationship with Jack.
The relationship could develop in a very gradual way. Given their initial hostility, it would take time for them to warm up to each other. Maybe Airachnid gets injured and Arcee, against her better judgment, decides to help her. This act of kindness makes Airachnid re - evaluate her view of Arcee. As they continue to cross paths, they start to share their dreams and fears. Airachnid might be afraid of being alone, and Arcee of losing more friends. Through these exchanges, they realize they have a deep connection and their relationship blossoms into love.
One challenge is the vast biological difference. Velociraptors are dinosaurs, and their physical and mental characteristics are so different from humans. Another is the ethical aspect. Society generally has norms about relationships between different species, especially when one is extinct and so different in nature. Also, creating a believable relationship dynamic within the story can be hard given these extreme differences.
There's also the matter of power levels. Naruto characters can be extremely powerful with their jutsus and kekkei genkai. In To Love - Ru, the power mainly comes from alien technology and some unique alien abilities. Balancing these power levels so that the story doesn't become one - sided or too unrealistic is a significant challenge for fanfiction writers.
One challenge is staying true to the original characters' personalities. Sakura is headstrong and determined, while Shikamaru is laid - back and intelligent in different ways. Balancing their personalities while developing a romantic relationship can be tricky.
Yes, there are some. You can start by looking on popular fanfiction websites like Archive of Our Own. Just search for 'Airachnid and Jack' and you might find some interesting stories written by fans.
A Soundwave love story fanfiction could be set in an alternate universe where Soundwave is an outcast among the Decepticons. He meets another outcast, and they form a bond. Their love story could be one of mutual understanding and growth. They might find a way to create their own little world away from the war between Autobots and Decepticons, building a new life together.
