What are the common themes in supernatural love stories?

One common theme is the struggle between different supernatural species. For example, a vampire and a werewolf might be in love but their natural enmity creates a lot of conflict. Another theme is the secrecy. Often, one or both of the lovers have to keep their true nature a secret from the other, which adds a lot of suspense. And the theme of sacrifice is also quite prevalent. A character might have to sacrifice their supernatural powers or even their life for the sake of their love.

One common theme is the forbidden love. In many such stories, like in 'Vampire Knight', the relationship between a human and a vampire is considered taboo. This adds a sense of drama and tension to the story.

One common theme is sacrifice. Dean is often portrayed as willing to sacrifice a great deal for love. Another theme is redemption through love. His love interest might bring out a softer, more redeemed side of him.

One common theme is acceptance. In many gay supernatural stories, the characters have to not only come to terms with their own sexual orientation but also with their supernatural abilities or the supernatural world they are part of. For example, in a story where a gay teen discovers he can see ghosts, he has to accept both parts of himself.

Fear of the unknown is a big one. In these stories, things like ghosts, vampires, and demons represent the things we don't understand. Another theme is death and the afterlife. They often play with the idea of what happens when we die. Also, the loss of control, for example, when a character is possessed, they lose control of their own body and mind.

A prevalent theme is the power struggle. Different supernatural entities or groups vie for power during the war. In 'The Dresden Files', Harry Dresden is constantly in the middle of power struggles between various magical factions. Also, the theme of the unknown is common. The supernatural elements are often mysterious, and the characters are trying to understand and deal with these unknown forces during the war. This is seen in many stories where new and strange creatures or powers are introduced.

One common theme is the unknown and the fear of it. In many supernatural short stories, the characters are faced with things they can't explain, like in 'The Monkey's Paw'. Another theme is the thin line between the living and the dead, as seen in 'The Tell - Tale Heart' where the narrator seems haunted by the old man even after his death. Also, moral and ethical dilemmas often play a role, like in 'The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' where the use of the potion to transform creates all sorts of moral questions.

One common theme is transformation. For example, in werewolf stories, humans transform into wolves. Another theme is the supernatural power these animals possess. Like how dragons can breathe fire. And often there's a theme of mystery. Supernatural animals are not fully understood by humans in the stories.

Another theme is the power of love in the face of supernatural threats. Their love becomes a weapon or a shield against dark magic, demons, or otherworldly entities. For instance, in some stories, their combined love energy can defeat a powerful dark lord who is using supernatural powers. It's like their love is stronger than the darkest magic. And also, the exploration of alternate realities is a theme. They might find themselves in a parallel magical universe where their love is the key to saving both worlds.

Since these types of stories are not appropriate, we should look at common themes in proper supernatural transformation stories. One common theme is the struggle between the human and the supernatural side. For example, in stories about werewolves, the character often struggles with their animal instincts.
