Love triangles are a really common theme. There's the complex relationship between Eric, Sookie and Godric which often forms a love triangle of sorts. Also, the theme of redemption can be seen. Godric, with his long past, sometimes is on a path of redemption and this impacts how Eric and Sookie interact with him. In addition, power dynamics is a key theme. Eric's power as a vampire and Sookie's unique power as a human play important roles in the stories.
One common theme is loyalty. Eric's loyalty to Godric is often explored deeply, and how that loyalty affects his relationship with Sookie. Another theme is the struggle between different worlds. Sookie being a human with special abilities in a world dominated by vampires like Eric and Godric. For example, in many fanfictions, Sookie has to decide whether to fully embrace the vampire world or keep her distance.
The theme of immortality and mortality is also prevalent. Godric and Eric are immortal vampires, while Sookie is a mortal human. The fanfictions often play with this contrast, like how Sookie views the vampires' eternal existence, and how the vampires see the fleeting nature of Sookie's life. It adds a layer of melancholy and urgency to their relationships.
Often, themes of sacrifice and protection might be present. Godric might be portrayed as someone who wants to protect Sookie, and in doing so, he may have to make sacrifices. This can add depth to their relationship in the fanfiction. Another theme could be the discovery of each other's true selves. As they interact more, they learn more about who the other really is, which can be an interesting aspect to explore.
One common theme is self - discovery. As Sookie becomes smarter, she discovers new aspects of herself. Another theme is the evolution of her relationship with Eric. With her increased intelligence, their dynamic changes, sometimes for the better as they can communicate more effectively.
Love is a very common theme. Their relationship, whether it's a slow - burning love or a passionate one, is often explored. Another theme is the supernatural elements, as they are both part of a supernatural world. Danger also comes up a lot, like threats from other supernatural beings.
Power dynamics is another theme. Eric is a powerful vampire and Sookie has her own special abilities. Fanfictions play around with how these powers interact and affect their relationship. Sometimes it's about Eric protecting Sookie with his power, other times it's about Sookie using her gift to help Eric in some way.
One frequent theme is the exploration of the vampire culture. With Godric being an ancient vampire, the fanfiction often delves into the traditions, rules, and hierarchies of the vampire world. The OC can be a new element that either challenges or adapts to these aspects. Also, themes of loyalty and betrayal are common. The OC might have to choose between Godric and Eric, leading to situations of loyalty or betrayal.
Perhaps they travel to a future time. This could be a dystopian future where vampires are either hunted or have completely taken over. Eric and Godric would have to protect Sookie in this new and dangerous world. Sookie, on the other hand, could use her unique skills to try and find a way to restore balance. It would be a really exciting adventure full of twists and turns.
One common theme could be the challenges they face as a couple during the pregnancy. Another might be how their relationship changes and grows stronger.
Another theme is the allure of the forbidden. Their relationship is often seen as something that goes against the norms, either in the vampire - human world or within their own communities. This adds a sense of danger and excitement. For example, in many fanfictions, they have to hide their relationship from others. Also, the theme of redemption is quite prevalent. Eric's dark nature often needs to be redeemed in some way through his love for Sookie. In some stories, he has to overcome his past deeds to be worthy of Sookie's love. This makes for some really engaging character development.
One common theme could be the challenges they face as a couple during the pregnancy. Maybe dealing with how their relationship changes or how their families and friends react.
