What are the common themes in 'Star Trek Romance Fanfiction'?

Common themes in 'Star Trek Worf' romance fanfiction include cultural differences. Given Worf's Klingon background, his romances often explore how his culture and the more diverse Starfleet cultures interact. There's also the theme of emotional growth.

His struggle with the ethical dilemmas of medical practice in space is also a common theme. Since he has to deal with different alien physiologies, he often faces tough decisions. In some fanfictions, this is shown through his internal monologues as he tries to figure out the best course of action.

Or could a Star Trek phaser be modified with ninja knowledge? It's all about the combination of the two power systems.
