One common theme is self - discovery. Since Kurt is in a new family situation, he often has to figure out who he is in this new context. For example, in many fanfics, he discovers new aspects of his personality while interacting with his new family members.
One common theme is friendship. Since Kurt often faces challenges in the show, the OC usually comes in as a friend to support him. For example, they might help him deal with bullies or his struggles in the glee club.
Another one could be 'Cross - World Connections'. This fanfiction focuses on how Kurt, with his fashion - forward and confident nature, and Harry, with his heroic and determined self, interact and form a bond that changes both of their worlds in different ways.

A Hummel music box love story could involve a family heirloom. Suppose a music box has been passed down through generations. It might hold the memories of the loves and lives of those who once owned it. For example, a grandmother might have received it as a love gift from her husband. And as she played it for her grandchildren, she told them stories of true love, with the music box's melody as a backdrop.
The history of the park might be a factor. Maybe there were some bad events in the past that people don't really know about, but they can feel the unease when they're there. Also, the old trees and the dim lighting at night add to the overall spooky atmosphere. It's like nature itself is trying to tell you that something is not quite right.
