Well, often it's about the power struggles. In 'The Vampire Diaries' there are a lot of power dynamics, and in fanfiction, this is intensified. You might see characters vying for control over Mystic Falls or a new source of power. And of course, friendship is a big theme too. The bond between Bonnie, Caroline and Elena is so important in the show, and in fanfiction, it can be further developed, like their friendship being tested in new and exciting ways.
Love is a very common theme. Reincarnation often brings back characters who had a strong connection in a past life, and their love story gets a new chance in the Vampire Diaries world. Another theme is redemption. Characters may get a second chance through reincarnation to make up for their past mistakes.
One common theme is the battle between good and evil. In both shows, there are clear lines between the heroes and the villains, and this is often explored in fanfiction. Another theme is the power of friendship and family. Characters in both shows rely on their friends and family members, and this is also a big part of the fan - created stories.
One common theme is protection. Since vervain is known to harm vampires in the Vampire Diaries, many fanfictions use it as a means of protection for the human characters. For example, a character might wear vervain jewelry to keep vampires at bay.
One major theme is the struggle between good and evil. In these fanfictions, we often see characters who are trying to do the right thing in a world full of dark and dangerous supernatural forces. Family also plays an important role. We see how family bonds are tested and strengthened in the face of all the chaos in the vampire - filled worlds. For example, the Cullen family in Twilight and the Salvatore brothers' relationship in Vampire Diaries are often explored further in fanfictions.
Redemption can be a theme as well. In some fanfictions, Mikael might be given a chance to atone for his actions, especially towards his family. This can be an interesting take as it goes against his rather one - dimensional portrayal in the show as a mostly vengeful character. Additionally, there could be themes related to his adaptation to different time periods, as The Vampire Diaries spans different eras and Mikael has been around for a long time.
In Vampire Diaries Christmas fanfiction, a major theme is the contrast between the darkness of the vampire world and the light of the Christmas season. The twinkling lights and festive cheer stand in contrast to the often - violent and brooding nature of the vampires. This contrast is used to create interesting storylines. Additionally, friendship is a theme. Friends come together during Christmas, like Matt and Tyler getting over their differences to enjoy the holidays. And magic also plays a role, with witches using their powers to enhance the Christmas celebrations.
The theme of self - discovery is also quite prevalent. In the Vampire Diaries universe, both Jeremy and Tyler are constantly evolving. In Jyler fanfiction, their relationship can be a catalyst for their individual self - discovery. They might learn new things about themselves through their interactions, like Tyler learning to be more open and Jeremy becoming more confident. This exploration of their characters within the context of their relationship makes for some really engaging fanfiction stories.
One common theme is family loyalty. The sisters often have to stick together in the face of the many threats in the vampire - filled world. Another is power struggles. The sisters may have unique powers that others want to control or use for their own gains.
A common theme is self - discovery. Luke often has to figure out his place in the Vampire Diaries world, his powers, and his identity. Another theme is friendship. He forms bonds with other characters, and these relationships are explored in many fanfictions.
One common theme is the clash of different powers. The super - speed of The Flash against the vampiric powers in Vampire Diaries. For example, how would Barry's speed fare against a vampire's strength and speed?
