Love against all odds is another theme. Since they come from different backgrounds and have different loyalties initially, many stories focus on how their love manages to grow despite all the obstacles. It could be the political unrest, family expectations, or the general chaos in Westeros that tries to keep them apart but they still find a way to be together.
A theme of power - sharing also pops up often. Margaery is a very politically savvy character and Jon has his own claim to power. Fanfictions sometimes explore how they could share power, perhaps ruling together in a more just and stable Westeros. This theme often involves them making decisions that not only benefit their relationship but also the future of the kingdoms they are part of.
