One common theme could be the allure of the vampire. Their mysterious nature, with their immortality and otherworldly powers, can be an element of attraction. For example, in many vampire stories, humans are drawn to them despite the danger. Another theme might be the struggle between love and the vampire's dark nature. Even in non - erotic stories, there is often a conflict between the vampire's need for blood and their feelings for a human.
Often, the theme of forbidden love is present. Vampires are typically seen as outsiders, and a relationship with a human is against the natural order in many of these stories. There is also the theme of transformation. The idea of becoming a vampire, whether through a love - related bite or some other means, can be a central theme. It represents a change from the ordinary human life to something more, well, vampiric. This transformation can bring with it new powers, but also new challenges and moral dilemmas.
The theme of power dynamics is common. Vampires are often depicted as powerful beings, and in a relationship (even non - erotic ones), there are power imbalances. In vampire stories, this can play out in interesting ways. For instance, a vampire may use their power to protect a human they care about, or the power struggle between two vampires over a human can be a source of conflict. Additionally, the nocturnal nature of vampires and the contrast with the human day - to - day world can be a theme, creating a sense of mystery and separation.
Even if we exclude the inappropriate part, common themes could be courtly love. In medieval times, courtly love was a complex set of ideals and behaviors. It often involved knights pining for noble ladies from afar, with themes of loyalty, admiration, and a certain level of chaste love.
If we assume it's not about inappropriate content but just the word 'boobs' as a misnomer for something else, a common theme could be about nurturing. Just like a mother's bosom is associated with nurturing a child, stories might revolve around caregiving and motherly love.
Another theme could be the power dynamics in history. This can be seen in how different classes or genders interacted in historical times. It's like in many stories where the social hierarchy affects the relationships and the plot development.
Since we are excluding inappropriate content, we could perhaps consider themes of anticipation, psychological play in a more abstract sense. For example, the idea of building up and withholding something in a non - sexual context, like a mystery or a surprise.
Well, even if we exclude inappropriate content, some common themes could be the complex love triangles that are so central to the Vampire Diaries. Fanfiction might explore different outcomes for the relationships between Elena, Stefan, and Damon. Another theme could be the power dynamics among the vampires, werewolves, and witches. Writers might play with how these different supernatural beings interact and compete with each other in new and interesting ways.
One common theme is the search for identity. Gay characters in these stories often struggle to find their place in society, whether it's within their families or in the broader community. Another theme is love. It can be the first love, unrequited love, or the love that overcomes all obstacles.
If we exclude the inappropriate aspects, prison stories might often deal with themes of redemption. A character in prison could be on a journey to redeem themselves, to make up for past wrongs.
Love and friendship are also prevalent themes. Pinay stories may tell of deep friendships that last a lifetime or of romantic love stories. These stories can show different aspects of how Pinays form and maintain relationships, whether it's the loyalty in friendship or the passion in love.
Another theme is acceptance. There are stories of crossdressers finding acceptance from their friends and family. For example, a crossdresser might initially be afraid to show their true self but then is met with love and support. This journey of being accepted can be very inspiring.
If we exclude the inappropriate aspects, an erotic short novel might still have some characteristics like intense emotional descriptions. It could explore complex relationships and the power dynamics within them in a more extreme way compared to regular novels.
