Another theme is the idea of partnership. Fanfics often explore how Buffy and Dean can work together. Given their skills - Buffy's slayer strength and agility, and Dean's hunting knowledge and weaponry expertise - they make a great team. And stories show how they combine their strengths to take on bigger threats.
One common theme is the combination of their hunting/slaying skills. Since both are used to fighting the supernatural, fanfics often explore how they work together to take on bigger threats.
A common theme is the crossover of their two worlds. Since they both deal with the supernatural, fanfictions often explore how the Buffyverse and the Supernatural world can interact. Another theme is the building of a partnership. Given their skills in fighting evil, they usually end up working together in these stories.
One common theme is the struggle between Buffy's slayer duties and her new role as a mother - to - be. For example, in many fanfics, she has to figure out how to keep fighting evil while protecting her unborn child. Another theme is the reaction of her friends and family. They might be shocked, supportive, or even worried about how this will change Buffy and their group dynamic.
Another theme is the battle between good and evil within Spike. Given that he's a vampire, there's always that struggle, and Buffy's influence on his choices is a big part of many fanfics. For example, some fanfics might show how Spike's love for Buffy makes him question his vampiric nature and strive to be more 'human' in his actions.
Romance can also be a common theme. Some fanfics develop a romantic relationship between Buffy and Willow, exploring how their dynamic could change in a romantic context. This can involve dealing with the reactions of other characters in the Buffy world.
Friendship is a very common theme. Their deep bond as friends is often explored further, showing how they rely on each other. For example, in many fanfics, they are there for each other during emotional breakdowns.
One common theme is love and relationships. Buffy has a complex love life, and fanfics often explore her relationships with Angel, Spike, and other characters in more depth. For example, some fanfics might focus on the what - ifs of her relationships, like what if Buffy had chosen Spike over Angel.
Love and relationships also feature prominently. This could be an unexpected romantic relationship between Buffy and Warren, or it could be about the relationships they have with other characters in the context of a story. For example, how Warren's actions affect his relationships with his own group of friends and how Buffy's friends react to her dealing with Warren.
One common theme is friendship. Their long - standing friendship is often explored more deeply, like how they support each other through all the chaos in Sunnydale. Another theme is unrequited love. Sometimes Xander has feelings for Buffy that she may or may not return in the fanfic. And of course, the theme of fighting together against evil. They are part of the Scooby Gang and their teamwork in battling vampires and demons is always a part of these stories.
Love and friendship are common themes as well. Whether it's platonic love between the two of them, or how their relationships with others are affected by their bond. In some fanfics, they learn to truly care for each other through difficult situations, which shows the power of friendship.
