One common theme is the contrast between the cute and colorful world of MLP and the dark, violent world of Hotline Miami. Writers often explore how the characters from MLP would react in such a different and dangerous environment. For example, they might show how Twilight Sparkle's intelligence could be used to strategize in the dangerous situations of Hotline Miami.
Survival is also a big theme. Given the dangerous nature of the Hotline Miami world, the ponies have to find ways to survive. This can lead to some intense and action - packed scenes. They might have to use their friendship and magic in new and creative ways to stay alive. And it often makes for a really thrilling read as you root for the ponies to make it through the challenges.
