Friendship and teamwork are also common themes. Characters who are used to operating in their own groups in their respective shows have to learn to work with new people from the other show. It's not always easy as they have different methods and beliefs. But through this process, they form strong bonds of friendship. For instance, Clary might initially be skeptical of the Winchesters' rough - around - the - edges approach, but eventually, they become a great team fighting side by side.
Another theme is the discovery of new powers and abilities. When the characters from the two universes meet, they might learn new things about their own powers or discover new abilities altogether. Like a Shadowhunter might learn some unique ways of banishing spirits from the Winchester brothers. This theme of self - discovery through interaction with a different world is quite prevalent.
Love and relationships are also a big theme. When different universes collide in these crossovers, new love interests can be formed. It might be between a Shadowhunter and a character from another world, and this creates all kinds of drama and tension. It's not just about romantic love, but also friendship and loyalty among characters from different backgrounds. Another common theme is the fight against a common evil. Characters from different worlds might have to team up to defeat a powerful foe that threatens both of their universes.
One popular theme is the crossover between the two universes. Fans like to imagine how the characters from Shadowhunters and Supernatural would interact. Another theme is the exploration of different relationships. For example, romantic relationships between characters that might not be canon in the original shows. Also, there are often themes of adventure and fighting against greater evil, as both shows have elements of that.
One main theme is the clash of different belief systems. Lucifer represents a very different view of good and evil compared to the Shadowhunters. Another theme is power dynamics. The powers that Lucifer has and the powers of the Shadowhunters are very different, and when they come together, there's a lot to explore about who has more power in different situations.
Another common theme is the clash of different mythologies. The show Xander is from might have its own set of supernatural rules and creatures, and when combined with the Supernatural world, there are a lot of interesting interactions. This can lead to stories where the characters have to figure out how to deal with new and unexpected threats that come from the combination of these two different mythologies.
Family and friendship is also a big theme. In 'Supernatural', the Winchester brothers' bond is central, and in 'Btvs', Buffy has her group of friends, her 'Scooby Gang'. In crossover fanfiction, these relationships are often put to the test and developed further. The characters from both shows form new friendships or rivalries, which adds depth to the story. It can be really heartwarming or full of tension depending on how the author writes it.
Family is a big theme. Both shows have strong family bonds. In 'Supernatural', it's the Winchester brothers, and in 'Charmed' it's the sisters. In the crossover fanfiction, these family units often have to work together or face challenges related to protecting their families in the new combined world.
One common theme is the clash of two different worlds. Arrow is mainly about a city full of crime and vigilantes, while Supernatural is all about the supernatural world. So, when they cross over, there's often a struggle to understand each other's ways. For example, Oliver might be skeptical of the existence of demons at first, while Sam and Dean might not be used to dealing with high - tech security systems in Star City.
Redemption is often explored. In Supernatural, many characters are on a journey of redemption, and when Lucifer is added to the mix, the idea of whether he can be redeemed or not becomes an interesting plot point. For example, some fanfictions show Lucifer being influenced by the Winchesters' sense of justice. Another common theme is the disruption of the natural order. Lucifer's presence in the Supernatural universe throws a wrench into the already complex balance of good and evil, heaven and hell, that exists in the series. This can lead to all sorts of chaos and interesting story developments.
A common theme is the exploration of power. Sherlock has his mental power and deductive abilities, while the Supernatural characters have powers like magic and the ability to fight demons. In fanfiction, they might combine their powers to face a greater threat. For example, Sherlock's ability to analyze a situation could help the Winchesters in a battle against a powerful supernatural entity, and the Winchesters' knowledge of the supernatural could help Sherlock understand things he couldn't before.
One common theme is the clash of powers. Lucifer has his own set of demonic powers and in the Supernatural world, there are various powers like the Winchester brothers' hunting skills and the angels' powers. So, how these powers interact is often explored.
