Often, these fanfictions might have themes related to power dynamics in relationships. Thranduil is a king, so his status can play into the relationship with the other characters in the story. For example, there could be stories where his partner is either in awe of his power or challenges it in an intimate relationship context. Another theme could be the forbidden love aspect, as his character is often depicted as a bit aloof and reserved, so a relationship that goes against his normal behavior or status quo can be a common theme in such fanfictions.
One common theme is power dynamics. Since Thranduil is a powerful elf king and dragons are also very powerful creatures, their interactions often involve a struggle for power or respect. Another theme is mystery. Dragons are often mysterious in these stories, and Thranduil tries to figure them out.
The theme of self - discovery is also prevalent. The OC, being in a new and magical world, often has to learn about their own strengths and weaknesses. In a story where an OC is a human in Thranduil's realm, they might discover a new side of themselves as they interact with the elves and face the challenges of the elven world.
One common theme is the clash and subsequent melding of different cultures. Harry comes from the wizarding world of Hogwarts with its own set of rules and values, while Thranduil is from the elven realm with a very different way of life. Fanfictions often explore how they deal with these differences.
One common theme is culture clash. Since Thranduil is from Middle - earth and often crosses over into very different settings like modern Earth or other fictional universes, his elven culture clashes with the new environment. For example, in crossovers with a modern world setting, his view on technology and modern social norms can create interesting situations.
The themes usually include power. A female Thranduil is often shown as a powerful figure, having to fight for her place in a male - dominated world in Middle - earth. Adventure is also common. She embarks on various quests, just like the male heroes in Tolkien's works. And there's the theme of identity. How does a female Thranduil define herself in a world that has certain expectations of gender? It's often explored in these fanfictions. In some, she also has to deal with the theme of prejudice as a female leader.
One common theme is the clash of cultures. Since Thranduil is an elf and the other character is human, their different ways of life, values, and beliefs often collide. For example, elves might value nature in a more spiritual way compared to humans.
One common theme is the bond between father and son. When they are hurt, it often tests and strengthens their relationship. For example, in many fanfictions, Legolas will do everything he can to protect his injured father Thranduil, and Thranduil will show his paternal love in his concern for Legolas's well - being.
One common theme is the overcoming of differences. Since Thranduil is an elf and Bard is a human, there are cultural, racial, and lifespan differences. Fanfictions often focus on how they bridge these gaps to be together.
One common theme is physical injury during battle. Since Thranduil is a warrior, many fanfictions explore him getting hurt while defending his kingdom or during a fight against enemies like orcs. For example, he could be seriously wounded in a skirmish in Mirkwood forest.
One common theme is the forbidden love aspect. Since Thranduil is the king and Tauriel is a lower - ranked elf, there's often a sense of their relationship being against the norms. Another theme is adventure. Their love might be intertwined with the perils they face in Mirkwood, like fighting off orcs or dealing with the dark magic in the forest.
