What are the common themes in Buffy Lord of the Rings crossover fanfiction?

One common theme is the clash of different cultures. For example, when Middle - earth characters meet those from other fictional worlds, there are often misunderstandings at first due to different values and ways of life.

There's also 'Buffy and the Fellowship'. In this fanfic, Buffy somehow gets involved with the Fellowship of the Ring. It's really interesting to see how her modern - day sensibilities and combat skills interact with the more medieval and magical world of Middle - earth. For example, her reaction to the elves and their magic is quite different from what the Fellowship members are used to.

A common theme is the rekindling of their relationship. Whether it's a romantic or a platonic bond, it often focuses on how they reconnect. Another theme is the fight against a greater evil. Since both are from the Buffyverse which is full of demons and dark forces, this is a natural theme.

Love and sacrifice are common themes. Their relationship has always been about love in different forms and often one has to sacrifice for the other. So in crossovers, this is often explored further.

One common theme is the clash of different worlds. Buffy's world of demons and magic and Stargate's world of aliens and advanced technology. Another theme could be the exploration of power. How the powers of the Buffy characters like slayers compare to the military might and technology in Stargate.

A common theme is the clash of two different worlds. Smallville is more of a small - town superhero origin story, while Buffy deals with the supernatural in a more urban and 'chosen one' kind of way. So, the fanfics often explore how these two concepts collide.

One common theme is the clash of different cultures. Buffy's world has a lot of supernatural elements and a modern - day Earth - like setting in some ways, while Firefly has a more space - western feel. So when the two worlds collide, there's often exploration of how these different cultures interact.

One common theme is self - discovery. Many original characters in the fanfiction are on a journey to find out who they are in the context of Middle - earth. For example, an OC might be a human with some elven blood and they are trying to understand both parts of their heritage.

One common theme is the clash of different powers. The high - tech powers of the Avengers against the magic in Middle - earth.

One common theme is the clash of different natures. Vampires, with their need for blood and immortality, are different from the races in Middle - earth. So, there's often a theme of how they are accepted or rejected. For example, elves might view them as abominations while humans might be more divided.
