One common theme is the clash of different power systems. Harry Potter has magic based on spells and potions, while Sans has his own unique set of abilities like bone attacks and teleportation. So, fics often explore how these powers interact.
Friendship is also a common theme. You might see Sans befriending Harry or other Hogwarts students. They could team up to face a common enemy, whether it's a dark wizard from the Harry Potter world or some new threat that emerges from the combination of the two universes. Another theme could be discovery. Sans exploring the magical world of Harry Potter and vice versa, learning about new things and cultures in each other's worlds.
A very prevalent theme is adaptation. How does Sans adapt to the rules and social structures of the wizarding world? And how do the wizards react to Sans' presence? Some fics also touch on the theme of identity. Is Sans still the same 'person' in the Harry Potter universe? Does his role change? And for Harry Potter characters, how does interacting with Sans change their perception of themselves and their own magic?
