Well, power dynamics is a common theme. Sometimes, one character may have more power in the relationship, which can fuel the hate. But the love is still there. And the theme of self - discovery is also important. Through their love - hate relationship, the characters often discover more about themselves, their insecurities, and what they really want in a relationship.
One common theme is conflict. The characters are in a state of internal conflict because they have these opposing feelings of love and hate. Another theme is growth. They often have to grow and change in order to resolve their love - hate relationship.
The theme of redemption could also be present. If one of the characters has done something wrong in the past that led to the 'hate' from the other, the story could be about that character's journey to redeem themselves and win back the love. It's all speculation without actually reading the fanfic, but these are common themes in stories with a 'hate - love' relationship.
In many works with such a title, the story might revolve around two characters who have a love - hate relationship. Maybe there are misunderstandings, past hurts that lead to the 'hate' part, while the underlying connection or attraction gives rise to the 'love'. For this Ellenphant fanfic, it could be unique in its own way, perhaps set in a particular fictional universe or with characters that bring new perspectives to this common theme.
One of the main themes could be the complexity of love. It might explore how love can be both a wonderful and a tormenting feeling at the same time, as the title 'I Hate That I Love You' implies. Another theme could be self - discovery within a relationship. The characters might be learning about themselves through their conflicting emotions towards the person they love.
The theme of forbidden love is quite common in this type of fanfic. Characters may hate each other at first because their relationship is not allowed in their society or world. For example, in a dystopian world where different factions are not supposed to interact, two people from opposing factions start off hating each other because of the rules. But as they defy the norms and get to know each other, they fall in love. Another common theme is the role of fate. It seems like fate keeps bringing the two characters together despite their initial hatred, and gradually they can't resist the pull towards love.
The theme of redemption often plays a role in Sasusaku love - hate fanfic. Sasuke's past actions, which may have caused Sakura pain, can be a source of the 'hate' element. As he tries to redeem himself and win back Sakura's love, it creates a complex interplay between love and hate. Also, jealousy can be a common theme. If other characters show interest in either Sasuke or Sakura, it can stir up feelings of jealousy and further complicate their relationship.
The theme of sacrifice can also be present. The main character may have to sacrifice something they hold dear, like a job opportunity in another city, in order to stay close to Katherine and pursue their love. Or they might sacrifice their own pride to admit their feelings to her.
One common theme is unrequited love. Hinata is often depicted as a shy character, so there might be stories where someone loves her from afar for a long time before expressing 'I love you'.
Yan Bingyun and Shen Wan 'er were characters from the novel " Celebrating Years." Yan Bingyun was a spy sent by the Qing Kingdom to Northern Qi, and Shen Wan 'er was the eldest daughter of Northern Qi. Shen Wan 'er did not know Yan Bingyun's true identity at first, but she gradually fell in love with him. However, Yan Bingyun did not have any sincere feelings for Shen Wan 'er. He was only using her to obtain information about Northern Qi. Even so, Shen Wan 'er's feelings for Yan Bingyun were very deep. There was no clear description of their ending in the literature.
One way to avoid 'love you' fanfic is to join fanfic communities that are more focused on the aspects of the story you like, such as a mystery - based or action - based community. They are less likely to promote or feature love - centric fanfic. Also, when searching for fanfic, be specific with your search terms to exclude any love - related ones.

The author does a great job of building the tension between them and then gradually resolving it into a beautiful love story.
