One interesting female Decepticon fanfic could be about a female Decepticon's journey to find her true place within the Decepticon ranks. It might explore her relationships with other Decepticons, both positive and negative.
The sense of isolation. When you're locked down, you're cut off from the outside world. So, if something scary happens, there's no easy escape or immediate help. For example, if you hear strange noises in your house during normal times, you can just leave. But during lockdown, you're trapped.
One idea could be a crossover with a modern military setting. The Decepticons could be trying to steal advanced military technology. Another is a crossover with a post - apocalyptic world where they are competing with other factions for resources. A third could be a crossover with a magical realm, with the Decepticons trying to harness the magic for their own evil purposes.
One common theme is redemption. Many fanfictions explore the idea of a Decepticon OC trying to break free from the evil ways of the Decepticon faction and find a new path. For example, an OC might realize the destruction they've caused and seek to make amends.
One possible storyline could be that after years of war, an Autobot and a Decepticon realize the futility of their fight. They secretly meet and start to communicate. They find that they both have similar desires for their home planet, Cybertron. So they decide to work together to bring about peace, facing opposition from both their factions.
A common theme is the clash of two different worlds. The magical world of Harry Potter and the technological, war - based world of the Decepticons are so different that when they meet, there's bound to be conflict. Another theme is the idea of power. Both universes have their own forms of power, magic in Harry Potter and advanced weaponry in the Decepticons. Writers often explore how these powers interact and which is more dominant.
In a Transformers Prime fanfiction, a human could befriend a Decepticon who is disillusioned with the evil ways of their faction. Together, they try to find a way to bring peace between the Autobots and Decepticons. This would involve many challenges as both sides are distrustful of the other. The human's unique perspective might be the key to making it all work.
There were also stories of people losing their jobs suddenly. For instance, a restaurant worker. Lockdown meant the restaurant had to close. He had no income and faced difficulties paying rent and buying food. It was really tough for him and his family. He had to rely on the little savings he had which quickly depleted.
One of the best lockdown novels is 'The Mirror & the Light' by Hilary Mantel. It's the final part of her Cromwell trilogy. The detailed historical setting and complex characters can really draw readers in, especially during lockdown when people had more time to immerse themselves in such a richly detailed story.
One of the top lockdown stories could be about how families reconnected during lockdown. People who were always busy suddenly had time to sit down and have long conversations, play games together. Another might be the rise of home baking. With more time at home, many people tried their hands at baking bread and cakes. Also, the story of how local communities came together to support the vulnerable, like delivering groceries to the elderly.
