Yes, 'embedded narrative' is a relevant example. In some works, like 'Heart of Darkness', Marlow's story is embedded within the frame of the narrator on the ship listening to Marlow's account. This creates a layered effect, with the outer frame providing a context for the inner, more intense and complex story. Another example could be in some of Edgar Allan Poe's works where he often uses a story within a story to build suspense and mystery, such as in 'The Fall of the House of Usher' where the narrator's visit to the Usher house frames the strange and disturbing events that unfold within the house.

As I mentioned before, 'The Canterbury Tales' is a great example of a frame story. The main story of the pilgrims' journey frames all the individual tales that each pilgrim tells. Also, 'One Thousand and One Nights' is another classic example where the frame is Scheherazade's nightly storytelling to the king, and within that frame are numerous other stories. And then there's 'Wuthering Heights' which has a story within a story structure as well, where Lockwood's experiences at Wuthering Heights frame the story of Heathcliff and Cathy.

The original series had a somewhat romanticized view of vampires, but fanfiction might strip away that romance and show the true, dark nature of their existence, with all the violence and moral ambiguity that comes with being a blood - sucking creature.

Definitely. For instance, the name 'Robin'. It could be related to the story of Robin Hood, the legendary outlaw who stole from the rich to give to the poor. So the name Robin might be associated with a sense of justice and helping the underprivileged. And 'Juliet'. From Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet', the name Juliet often brings to mind the tragic love story. Naming a girl Juliet could be a way to evoke that sense of deep, passionate love and the idea of a fateful love story.
