What Are Some Common Tropes for Female OCs in Once Upon a Time Fanfiction?

A 'found family' trope is quite common. Characters who were alone or estranged in the show form a close - knit family in fanfiction. For instance, Henry might bring together different characters who then become his new family. Also, the 'hurt/comfort' trope, where a character is hurt (physically or emotionally) and another character comforts them, is frequently used in Once upon a Time fanfics.

One common trope is the 'opposites attract' within the harem. For example, a shy main character surrounded by more outgoing love interests. Another is the 'jealousy' trope, where the members of the harem get jealous of each other's interactions with the main character.

A prevalent trope is the 'reincarnation' trope. Fans might write about how the characters are reincarnated in different time periods or worlds and how their relationships are rekindled. 'Power - swapping' is another interesting one, where characters exchange their powers and how that affects their relationships and the story. There are also 'secret relationship' tropes, especially for characters who had a lot of chemistry on the show but never got together officially, like Belle and Will Scarlet. Writers create scenarios where they have a secret relationship and all the drama that comes with it.

A common trope is the time - travel trope. Maybe a character from Once Upon a Time travels to the Descendants' world in the future or vice versa. Family reunions are also popular, especially when characters from the two shows discover long - lost family connections. And of course, the 'hidden power' trope, where a character discovers a new and unexpected power when they enter the other show's world, which they then have to learn to control.

One popular trope is the 'forbidden love' trope. In 'Once upon a time', there are so many different storybook characters from different worlds and with different statuses, so a relationship between two characters who are not supposed to be together, like a princess and a villain, is quite common in the fanfiction. Another is the 'reunion' trope. Since many characters have lost their memories or been separated in the show, fanfiction often features them reuniting and falling in love all over again.

One popular trope is the 'destined to be together' for the main characters. It often involves a complex relationship between hunters and supernatural beings. Another is the 'found family' trope, where a group of misfits come together to fight against evil. And the 'hidden power' trope, where a character discovers they have a special ability they didn't know about before.

One popular trope is the 'enemies to lovers' trope. Hook starts off as a bit of an anti - hero, so it's common to see stories where he and another character, often Emma, start off on the wrong foot but then gradually fall in love. Another is the 'time - travel' trope. Given the magical nature of the 'Once Upon a Time' universe, it's not unusual for fanfictions to involve characters traveling through time, which can create really interesting plotlines.

One common trope is the 'lost heir' trope. The OC is often revealed to be the heir of some important clan or have a special bloodline. Another is the 'outsider who becomes a hero' trope. They start as an unknown in the Naruto world but through their skills and determination, they rise to prominence. The 'love interest for a main character' trope is also seen a lot, where the OC becomes romantically involved with Naruto or another main character.

The 'hurt/comfort' trope is quite prevalent too. For example, when Hook gets injured and Emma takes care of him, or vice versa. It shows their deepening connection. Also, the 'time - travel' trope can be found, where they might go back in time and experience events that change their relationship in the present. This adds an interesting layer of complexity to their story.

Another common trope is the 'Time Travel' trope. Given the magical nature of the 'Once Upon a Time' universe, it's not surprising that many fanfictions use time travel as a plot device. For example, Emma or Hook might travel back in time to change an event that affects their relationship, or they could be sent to the future and have to deal with the consequences of what they see there in relation to their love for each other.
