The theme of acceptance is also prevalent. He has to get those around him in Camelot, like Arthur and the knights, to accept his wings. Some stories focus on how he struggles with the fear of being rejected because of his wings, and then how he finally gains their acceptance through his heroic deeds and kind heart.
Well, themes like self - discovery are likely. Since Naruto is now a winged wolf, he has to figure out what this new form means for him. Also, the theme of friendship could be explored. How do his friends like Sasuke and Sakura react to his new form? Do they still accept him? And there could be a theme of survival, as he might face new threats because of his unique form.
A common theme is redemption. The hero with black wings may have a dark past, and through his actions in the story, he tries to atone for it.

In sub Merlin fanfiction, a major theme is secrecy. Given Merlin's sub position, he must keep his magic a secret, and this secrecy drives a lot of the plot. Another theme is growth. He grows as a person and as a magic - user while being in a sub role. It's about how he overcomes the limitations of his position. Additionally, the theme of sacrifice is common. Merlin is often in situations where, because of his sub role, he has to sacrifice something for the greater good, whether it's his own safety or his relationships.

In Merlin vampire fanfiction, the theme of acceptance is quite common. Whether it's Merlin accepting the existence of vampires or the vampires accepting Merlin's power.

And the theme of forbidden knowledge often pops up, as the vampires may possess knowledge that is both dangerous and alluring to Merlin.
Another theme is friendship. The neckerchief can be a focal point for the relationships Merlin has with Arthur, Gwen, and the other characters. For example, it might be a gift from a friend that holds special meaning.
Another theme is self - discovery. When Merlin crossdresses, he often discovers new aspects of himself or how others perceive him differently.

In these fanfictions, Merlin challenges the traditional gender roles of the Camelot society, which adds an interesting layer to the story.
One common theme is the shock and disbelief among the characters. Given Merlin is male in the original series, his pregnancy is quite unexpected, so characters often struggle to come to terms with it.
