One idea could be that the OC is a skilled archaeologist in their own right and they meet Lara Croft during an expedition to a lost temple. They initially clash due to different approaches but later learn to work together. Another could be the OC has a special ability, like being able to sense hidden traps, which Lara finds useful. A third idea is that the OC is from a local tribe near a mysterious site Lara is exploring and they become her guide, leading to a deeper understanding between them and a budding romance.
One idea could be a crossover with Indiana Jones. Picture Lara Croft and Indiana Jones teaming up to find a lost ancient artifact that has powers beyond imagination. They could face dangerous traps and rival treasure hunters together.
One possible plot could be that Naruto gets transported to Lara Croft's world. He teams up with her to explore an ancient tomb filled with dangerous traps. Naruto uses his ninja skills like speed and agility to avoid the traps, while Lara uses her knowledge of archaeology to decipher the tomb's secrets. Together, they face off against an ancient evil that was sealed in the tomb long ago.
Adventure is a very common theme. Since Lara Croft is known for her adventures, the OC usually joins her in exploring ancient places, like tombs or lost cities.
One idea could be that Lara Croft and Samantha Nishimura team up to explore an ancient, long - lost temple hidden deep in the Amazon rainforest. They face various traps and puzzles together, and along the way, they learn from each other's skills. Lara teaches Samantha some of her combat moves, while Samantha shares her knowledge of ancient languages which helps them decipher the inscriptions in the temple.
One possible plot could be that Lara Croft and Jacob are on a quest to find a lost ancient artifact. They start off as reluctant partners, with Lara being skeptical of Jacob's abilities. But as they face various challenges together, like dangerous traps and rival treasure hunters, they begin to respect and rely on each other. In the end, they not only find the artifact but also develop a deep bond.
First, decide on their background. Are they from a military family, which could give them combat skills? Or perhaps they grew up in a scholarly environment, making them good at research. Second, think about their personality traits. Are they bold and adventurous like Lara, or more cautious? Third, give them unique skills or abilities. It could be something like a photographic memory or the ability to communicate with animals in the areas Lara explores.
One interesting aspect could be the unique way it might explore Lara Croft's character. Fanfiction often delves deeper into a character's personality, and in this case, focusing on such a specific physical feature like the bellybutton might be a creative way to show her vulnerability or sensuality in a new light. However, it should also be noted that this is a rather unconventional and perhaps niche topic within the fanfiction realm.
A possible plot could be that Lara Croft stumbles upon a portal to a parallel universe. In this universe, the laws of physics are different. There are giant crystals that can grant wishes but are protected by a race of telepathic beings. Lara has to learn to communicate with them to gain access to the crystals. However, a dark force from her own world has also followed her through the portal and is trying to take over this new universe. Lara has to team up with the telepathic beings to defeat this dark force and protect both worlds.
I really like 'Lara's New Companion'. In this fanfic, the reader is a skilled archaeologist who meets Lara. Their shared knowledge and different perspectives create a lot of interesting interactions. The author also adds a touch of mystery to the story, which keeps you hooked from start to finish.
A good Lara Croft x Reader fanfiction should have a strong plot. It can't just be about the relationship but also needs an interesting adventure. For example, a story where they are searching for a lost treasure in a dangerous jungle. Also, the characterization of Lara should be on point, like her being brave and intelligent.
