Friendship is a very common theme. Just like in the original series, many one - shot fanfics explore the deep bonds between Harry, Hermione, and Ron. For example, there are fanfics where they have to rely on their friendship to get through a difficult situation in Hogwarts.
Love and sacrifice also appear frequently. Some fanfics might show a character making a great sacrifice out of love for their friends or family, much like the selfless acts we see in the original Potter stories.
Another theme is magic exploration. Writers often come up with new spells or magical creatures in their one - shot fanfictions. They might describe a character discovering a long - lost spell in the Hogwarts library and the adventures that follow from using it.
One common theme is self - discovery. Many of these fanfictions focus on the characters realizing and coming to terms with their sexual orientation within the context of the magical world. For example, Harry might struggle with how his new - found feelings fit in with his role as 'The Boy Who Lived'.
One common theme is the exploration of different Hogwarts houses' relationships. Since Harry is from Gryffindor and Daphne is from Slytherin, the stories often deal with how they overcome the house - based prejudices. For example, in many one - shots, they start off with a bit of mistrust because of their house differences but then learn to see past it.
Mystery is also a big theme. Since Luna has an affinity for the strange and unknown, fanfictions might involve them solving some sort of mystery together. It could be something in Hogwarts that no one else has noticed. Also, the theme of acceptance. Harry accepts Luna for who she is, and this mutual acceptance is often emphasized in these one - shots.
Growth and maturity are important themes too. Both Sasuke and Sakura have grown throughout the original series, and in the fanfics, their relationship is often used as a vehicle to show how they've become more well - rounded individuals. They learn from each other and support each other's development.
One common theme is exploration. Just like in the original Star Trek, many one - shot fanfics involve the crew exploring new planets or encountering strange phenomena. For example, they might discover a new species with unique abilities or a mysterious energy source.
Power dynamics is also a common theme. Since purebloods are often seen as having more power in the wizarding world in the original series, fanfics might explore how Harry fits into this power structure. Maybe he challenges it or maybe he becomes part of it in a different way.
The exploration of power is also a major theme. Both Harry Potter and Loki have different forms of power. Harry has his magic skills and the power of love and friendship. Loki has his Asgardian powers and his wits. Fanfics often play with how these powers are used, compared, and sometimes combined in the face of various challenges within the story.
Power corruption is a common theme. Since Harry has so much power in the original story, in the fanfic, it often gets twisted and he might be lured by the dark side through the allure of more power. Another theme is the blurring of good and evil. The lines between what's right and wrong in magic become less clear.
Love and relationships can also be a common theme. A succubus may form unexpected relationships with the characters in the Harry Potter world. It could be a romantic relationship, a friendship or a mentorship. These relationships often challenge the traditional ideas of love and connection in the wizarding world. For instance, a succubus might fall in love with a wizard, and they have to overcome the differences in their natures and the potential prejudice from others.
