The theme of redemption can also be found in some Homura x Kyubey fanfiction. Even though Kyubey has caused a lot of harm, some stories might explore the possibility of his redemption. Maybe through Homura's influence, Kyubey starts to see the error of his ways. Or perhaps Homura realizes that Kyubey is just a product of his species' nature and tries to find a way to change that nature, which could be seen as a form of redemption for both of them in a way.
One interesting Homura x Kyubey fanfiction could be where Homura tries to understand Kyubey's true motives in a more in - depth way. Maybe she discovers some secrets about the Incubators that no one else knew before. For example, she might find out that Kyubey has a different side to his cold - hearted, utilitarian nature.
A common theme is the exploration of their emotional bond. This can include their trust in each other, their shared experiences, and how they grow together. The theme of hope also comes up a lot. Despite the difficulties they face, they often find hope in each other. Additionally, the theme of identity is sometimes explored, especially how their relationship affects who they are as individuals.
One common theme is redemption. Given the often tragic arcs of both characters in the original series, fanfiction might explore how they can find redemption through their relationship. For instance, Sayaka, who had a downfall in the anime, could be redeemed through Homura's unwavering support and belief in her.
Another theme is self - discovery. As they interact, they might learn more about themselves. For example, Hitomi could discover a more confident side of herself through her relationship with Homura. And Homura might find a softer side to her own personality. In some fanfictions, they help each other grow as individuals.
One common theme is deception. Since Kyubey is known for being manipulative in the original series, in human form he often uses his appearance to deceive others, especially when it comes to recruiting magical girls.
One common theme is sacrifice. Homura often sacrifices a great deal for Madoka in many fanfics. For example, she might sacrifice her own well - being or her place in the normal world.
Another theme is friendship and alliances. Since it's a crossover, often the fanfics explore how Homura can form new friendships or alliances with the characters in Bleach. For example, she might team up with Ichigo and his friends to face a common enemy. It shows how characters from different universes can come together and support each other.
Love is also a prevalent theme. Whether it's platonic or romantic love, it's a major aspect. For example, some fanfics show how their love for each other can overcome great obstacles. And there's often a theme of redemption as well, especially for Homura who has made some morally complex decisions.
Another theme is time - related. Since Homura has the ability to manipulate time in the show, many fanfictions play with this concept in relation to her relationship with Madoka. For example, stories might involve Homura going back in time to save Madoka in different ways or dealing with the consequences of her time - traveling on their relationship.
The theme of resistance is also seen. Since the Puella Magi world can be quite harsh, a male Homura might resist the system in different ways. He could use his male perspective to find loopholes or form alliances that a female Homura might not have considered. This can add a new layer of complexity and intrigue to the fanfiction stories.
