In such fanfiction, the lemon part usually implies a more adult - themed or steamy relationship exploration. However, it's important to note that this often goes beyond the boundaries of the original children - friendly Adventure Time series. Some writers might use it as a way to add a new dimension to their relationship, perhaps showing how they overcome challenges not just as friends but as lovers in a more intense setting.
The appeal might be the forbidden - like nature of their relationship in the original show. Fans are drawn to the idea of seeing what could happen if they had a more intimate relationship. It's like exploring uncharted territory.
Well, one of the popular themes is love. Their relationship has romantic undertones in the show, and in fanfiction, it's often explored more deeply. There's also the theme of power. Princess Bubblegum with her scientific and ruling power, and Marceline with her vampire powers can have stories where they deal with power imbalances or combine their powers for a common good. And of course, there's the theme of redemption. If there were past wrongs in their relationship, fanfictions might explore how they can redeem themselves in each other's eyes.
One common theme is the exploration of their contrasting personalities. Marceline is often seen as the cool, edgy vampire while Princess Bubblegum is the more scientific and orderly ruler. Their differences create interesting dynamics in the fanfic.
One idea could be a time - travel plot. Marceline accidentally sends herself and Princess Bubblegum back in time to when Ooo was first being formed. They have to work together to find a way back to their own time while also dealing with the primitive versions of their friends. Another could be a body - swap story. They wake up one day in each other's bodies and have to navigate each other's lives for a day, which leads to a lot of humorous and heartwarming moments as they understand each other better. A third plot could be a mystery where something strange is happening in the Candy Kingdom and Marceline teams up with Princess Bubblegum to solve it, and during the process, they discover hidden feelings for each other.
There's a fanfic called 'Candy and Rock'. In this story, Princess Bubblegum and Marceline go on an adventure together. It shows how their different personalities, with Bubblegum's scientific and organized side and Marceline's carefree and edgy side, complement each other. And then there's 'The Moonlit Meeting', which focuses on a more emotional side of their relationship, especially during a full moon in the Land of Ooo.
Sure. There are fanfictions that explore their backstories and how they became friends. Maybe Marceline teaching Princess Bubblegum about the vampire world in a platonic way, or Princess Bubblegum showing Marceline some new scientific discovery in the Candy Kingdom. It's all about building on their unique bond without any sexual undertones.
One highly regarded story is 'The Longest Night'. It beautifully explores their relationship with great character development. Another good one is 'A Shared Melody' which delves deep into their shared history and how it affects their love for each other.
The Ice King could be an antagonist. He might be jealous of their relationship and the new baby. He could try to kidnap the baby to have someone to care for him. Another potential antagonist could be some of the more traditional Candy People who don't approve of Marceline being with Princess Bubblegum and having a baby together. They might try to separate the family.
Redemption can also be a theme. Maybe Marceline has some past actions she wants to make up for, or Bubblegum has to deal with some mistakes she's made in her rule, and they help each other through that. Also, acceptance is common, like accepting each other's flaws and differences, whether it's Marceline's vampiric nature or Bubblegum's sometimes over - controlling side.
