What are the common themes in Buffy x oc fanfic?

One common theme is redemption. Many fanfics explore how an OC vampire can find redemption in a world full of slayers like Faith. It's about breaking free from the typical vampire - evil stereotype.

One of the main themes is the exploration of power. As Slayers, they both have power, and fanfics often deal with how they handle it, whether they compete or collaborate. Also, self - discovery is a big theme. They both are on a journey to figure out who they are, especially in relation to each other. For example, Faith might be trying to find out if she can be more like Buffy in some good ways, and Buffy might be learning from Faith's more reckless nature at times. It's a complex interplay of identities.

One common theme is the exploration of an unexpected relationship. Since Buffy and Marty are from different 'worlds' in a sense, their relationship is full of surprises.

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.

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.
