Some fanfictions have a storyline where Shadow and Rouge get caught in a time - loop. They keep repeating the same day over and over again, and they have to figure out how to break the loop. During this process, they might discover new things about each other and their own capabilities. It also gives the author a chance to play with different scenarios and character reactions within the repeated day, which can lead to some really engaging and unique stories.
A really cool storyline is when they are sent on a mission to a parallel dimension. In this dimension, their personalities are slightly different, and they have to adapt while still trying to achieve their mission goals. It's interesting to see how they interact with the alternate versions of themselves and other characters. This type of fanfiction often explores the concept of identity and how their relationship might change in different circumstances. And it can be full of action, mystery, and character development.
One popular storyline could be about how they deal with the challenges of impending parenthood while still being heroes. For example, they might have to balance protecting the world from villains and preparing for their baby's arrival. Another could be a story where they discover their pregnancy in the middle of an important mission and have to keep it a secret for a while. There could also be a storyline where they face opposition from their friends or society because of their relationship and the upcoming baby.
One interesting storyline could be a friendship adventure where Blaze and Rouge team up to solve a mystery in the Lemon world. Maybe they have to find a lost magical lemon that has the power to save their realm.
Maybe they get caught in a magical spell that makes them reveal their true feelings. This leads to a tender kiss as they both realize how much they care for each other. Rouge could be the first to initiate it, surprising Shadow with her boldness.
One common theme is the exploration of their relationship. It could be a romantic relationship or a deep friendship. Another theme is adventure, as they often go on missions together in the fanfictions. For example, in many stories, they are on a hunt for a powerful Chaos Emerald or trying to stop an evil villain.
Shadow would likely become more protective. He's usually a solitary and tough character, but with a baby on the way, he'd soften up. Rouge, on the other hand, might become more nurturing. Her sly and flirtatious side could be toned down as she focuses on motherhood.
One possible storyline could be Sylvanas' struggle with her past and her newfound power in the Shadow of War universe. Maybe she's trying to find a way to redeem herself after all the dark deeds she has done. Another could be her forming unexpected alliances with other characters in the game, like an alliance with a group of outcasts to take on a greater evil.
One interesting storyline could be Talion and Shelob forming an unlikely alliance against a greater evil in Mordor. They might combine their unique powers, Talion's combat skills and Shelob's web - spinning and venomous attacks, to take on powerful orc warlords.
Growth and protection could be themes. The baby in the fanfiction would need to be protected, and both Shadow and Rouge might experience personal growth as they take on the role of caregivers. It could also involve themes of love and sacrifice. They might have to sacrifice some of their own freedom or desires to take care of the baby. And love in the sense of the bond they form with the baby and with each other in this new situation.
One possible plotline could be that Rouge discovers Shadow in a state of deep depression. She tries to cheer him up by taking him on adventures, showing him the beauty in the world that he's been missing. Another could be that Shadow's depression is a result of his past traumas, and Rouge, with her understanding nature, helps him face those demons. Maybe they start off as just friends, but as Rouge continues to be there for Shadow, their relationship deepens into something more romantic.
One great Shadow and Rouge fanfiction is 'The Hidden Bond'. It explores their relationship in a unique way, showing how they rely on each other during a mission. Another is 'Shadow's Redemption with Rouge' which delves into Shadow's character development with Rouge's influence. There's also 'Rouge's Discovery' that focuses on Rouge's perspective when she uncovers some secrets about Shadow.
