A theme that pops up frequently is the reimagining of existing relationships within the context of a character being trans. For example, how Buffy's relationships with her friends like Willow and Xander might change or evolve. There's also the theme of facing challenges in a world that might not be fully accepting, much like the real - world struggles of the trans community, but set within the supernatural backdrop of the Buffyverse. This can include dealing with vampires and demons who may have different views on gender or those who simply represent the forces of bigotry. And of course, there's the theme of empowerment, where the trans characters find their strength and use it to fight against evil, just as Buffy does in the original series.
One common theme is identity exploration. Since Buffy already deals with a lot about self - discovery in the original show, in trans fanfiction, it often focuses on the character's journey in terms of their gender identity. Another theme is acceptance, both self - acceptance and acceptance from the other characters in the Buffyverse.
Love and relationships are common themes. Many fanfictions explore Buffy's love for Angel or Spike further. Another theme is the struggle between good and evil. Since the show is about slaying vampires, this is often explored in new ways in fanfiction. And there's also the theme of self - discovery as the characters, especially Buffy, are constantly evolving.
In this type of fanfiction, a frequent theme is the re - evaluation of the vampire slayer mythology. Maybe the slayer line is seen as something that is more of a curse than a gift. Also, relationships might be re - imagined. For instance, Buffy's relationships with her friends or lovers could be presented in a much darker or more complex way than in the original series. It's all about taking the established Buffy world and turning it on its head to explore different ideas.
The theme of identity is quite prevalent. Oz has to balance his human side with his werewolf side, and fanfictions often explore how this affects his sense of self. Additionally, friendship is a theme. He is part of the Scooby Gang, and stories might focus on his relationships with Buffy, Xander, and the others. For example, there could be stories about how he helps the gang during a particularly tough vampire attack while also dealing with his own issues.
Love and attraction can also be a theme. Dracula has a certain allure, and in some fanfictions, Buffy or other characters might find themselves drawn to him in unexpected ways. This can create a lot of interesting drama and conflict, especially when combined with the fact that he's a vampire and she's the slayer.
The theme of cultural differences is quite prevalent. Buffy's world is based on a more modern - day Earth with a hidden supernatural side, while Stargate involves different planets and cultures. Fanfictions play with how the characters from Buffy would adapt to the alien cultures in Stargate and vice versa. Additionally, the theme of friendship and loyalty is strong. We see how the characters from both shows build new relationships or strengthen existing ones when they cross over. For instance, Willow could form a bond with Samantha Carter as they both are intelligent and resourceful women in their respective shows.
Another theme is the expansion of the Buffyverse. Writers often create new storylines that are set in the same world but add new elements. This could be new villains or new powers for the characters. They might also explore different time periods or alternate universes within the Buffy the vampire slayer framework.
One common theme is the battle between good and evil. In both Twilight and Buffy, there are clear sides of good and bad. Fanfictions often expand on this, with new battles and challenges. Another theme is love. The complex love stories in both universes are often intertwined in fanfictions. For example, the love between a slayer and a vampire can be explored in new ways.
One common theme is the clash of two different worlds. Buffy's world of slaying vampires and the WWE world of wrestling are so different, so when combined, it creates a lot of interesting situations. For example, Buffy has to deal with the over - the - top personalities in the WWE while still maintaining her slayer duties.
Love and acceptance are common themes. Since the characters are often in a world that may not fully understand their relationships, the fanfiction explores how they find love and acceptance within themselves and with their friends. Another theme is the struggle against the forces of evil while being in a lesbian relationship. It shows that love doesn't stop them from being strong slayers or witches.
Family is a common theme. It explores how the sister fits into Buffy's family dynamic, whether it's a new addition or a long - hidden family member. Another theme is power. The sister might have her own powers, and it shows how that interacts with Buffy's slayer powers. And of course, friendship. How the sister's presence affects Buffy's relationships with her friends like Willow and Xander.
