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.
One common theme is the exploration of their complex relationships. Given that Sookie is a human and Eric and Godric are vampires, there's a lot to unpack in terms of power dynamics, loyalty, and love. For example, in many stories, Sookie has to deal with the possessiveness of Eric and the more reserved nature of Godric.
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.
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.
A theme that frequently shows up is the power struggle. Eric is a powerful vampire and Sookie has her own special abilities. How they deal with power differences and how it affects their relationship is often explored. Also, themes of loyalty and betrayal are common. Their friends and enemies play roles in testing their loyalty to each other.
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.
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.
