Another theme is the struggle between good and evil. Soldier 76 represents the more heroic side while Reaper has a darker nature, and fanfictions often play with this dynamic, showing how they influence each other's views on morality. For example, in some stories, Reaper starts to question his actions because of Soldier 76's unwavering sense of justice. And in others, Soldier 76 realizes that there are more shades of gray than he initially thought because of Reaper's situation.
One common theme is redemption. Since both characters have complex pasts, many fanfictions explore how they can find redemption through their relationship with each other.
The theme of hidden feelings is also quite prevalent. Given their past history and current situations, they might not be able to openly express their feelings for each other. So, a lot of fanfictions explore the unspoken emotions between them, like longing looks and small acts of kindness that betray their true feelings, which adds a lot of emotional depth to the stories.
