One common theme is the clash of different natures. Vampires, with their need for blood and immortality, are different from the races in Middle - earth. So, there's often a theme of how they are accepted or rejected. For example, elves might view them as abominations while humans might be more divided.
Love and relationships also play a part. A vampire might fall in love with an elf or a human. But their nature as a vampire, with the need to feed on blood, creates a lot of obstacles. This theme explores how love can overcome or be doomed by the differences in their very essence in the context of Middle - earth's rich tapestry of races and cultures. This can be a really interesting exploration of the human (and non - human) condition in a fantasy world.
Power is another big theme. Vampires in these fanfictions usually have certain powers, and in the 'Lord of the Rings' world filled with magic and powerful artifacts, they have to figure out where they stand. They could be tempted by the power of the One Ring or use their own powers to resist Sauron. It's about power dynamics in a complex and magical setting.
Another theme might be isolation. As a vampire in a world that mostly consists of non - vampires, Aragorn would probably face a great deal of ostracism. This could lead to a sense of loneliness and a search for his place in the world, much like his character's journey in the original Lord of the Rings but with a very different set of circumstances.
One common theme is self - discovery. Many original characters in the fanfiction are on a journey to find out who they are in the context of Middle - earth. For example, an OC might be a human with some elven blood and they are trying to understand both parts of their heritage.
One common theme is the clash of different powers. The high - tech powers of the Avengers against the magic in Middle - earth.
One common theme is the clash of different cultures. For example, when Middle - earth characters meet those from other fictional worlds, there are often misunderstandings at first due to different values and ways of life.
One common theme is the idea of an outsider. Jon Snow was an outsider in Westeros, and in Lord of the Rings fanfiction, he could be an outsider in Middle - earth as well. Another theme could be the battle against great evil, just like he fought the White Walkers in his own world, he could be fighting Sauron in Middle - earth.
One common theme is the power of friendship. In both original works, friendship plays a huge role, and in fanfiction, it's often explored further. For example, in crossovers, characters from both universes form new friendships based on shared values.
A theme that's not as obvious but still present is the rediscovery of self - through love. Characters might change and grow as they fall in love. They learn more about their own strengths and weaknesses. For instance, a shy character might become more confident because of the love and support of their partner in the fanfiction.
Well, a frequently seen theme is identity. Orcs in these fanfictions are often on a quest to figure out who they really are, especially if they are original characters. Also, the theme of friendship or unlikely alliances is common. For example, an orc might form a bond with an elf or a human, which goes against the normal expectations in the 'Lord of the Rings' world. This creates interesting storylines as they have to overcome their cultural differences. And of course, power struggles within the orc tribes are also a common theme, as different orcs vie for leadership and influence.
One common theme is the clash of different cultures. Buffy comes from a modern world with a certain set of values and fighting styles, while Middle - earth has its own ancient and more traditional ways. So, the stories often explore how these differences play out when she arrives there.
One common theme is the power struggle. Dragons are often depicted as extremely powerful beings, so fanfictions may show them being either a threat to the established powers in Middle - earth or being courted by different sides for their power. Another theme is the mystery of dragons. Their origin, their true nature, and their connection to the magic of the world are often explored.
