Love and romance are very common themes. Since their relationship on the show had so much potential, fanfiction often explores their romantic feelings for each other more deeply.
Another common theme is friendship. Even before any romantic undertones, they were friends and comrades at NCIS. Fanfictions often build on that foundation of friendship and how it transitions into something more. For example, in some stories, they start as friends who support each other through tough cases and gradually realize they have deeper feelings. This exploration of the friendship - to - love dynamic is quite popular. Also, the theme of family can be found in some fanfictions. Given their own complex family backgrounds on the show, in fanfiction they might create a family unit of their own, with their relationship at the center, and deal with the challenges and joys that come with it.
Adventure is also a theme in some fanfictions. They go on missions together outside of the NCIS framework. These adventures not only test their relationship but also allow them to grow closer. In these stories, they might be on a quest to solve a mystery or stop a threat, and during this process, their relationship deepens.
