Finding good 'naked slayer story fan fiction' can be a bit tricky. First, you need to clarify which 'slayer' it is about. Is it a vampire slayer or something else?

There, fans might share or recommend some interesting fan fictions with this kind of theme.
I think Thor and Groot would be an interesting pair. Thor is this powerful Asgardian with his hammer (or axe) and Groot is this gentle but strong plant - like being.

The Cheshire Cat is really interesting. It can disappear and reappear at will, and it gives Alice some rather cryptic advice. Then there's the Mad Hatter.

Sasuke could use his Sharingan to outwit the criminals and corrupt cops in the city.
Their relationship might develop with a lot of tension. Darth Vader, with his full potential, is a very powerful and intimidating figure. Ahsoka would be cautious yet also feel a sense of pity as she still remembers the good in Anakin. At first, they could be at odds, constantly in combat. But as the story progresses, Vader might show some cracks in his dark facade, and Ahsoka could start to see a way to reach the Anakin she once knew.
