One common theme is the exploration of their dark and twisted relationship. Given their nature as rather menacing characters, fanfics often look at how they interact in a world full of horror. Another theme is loyalty or the lack thereof. Sometimes they are portrayed as loyal to each other against common enemies, while other times they might betray one another.
Survival is also a theme. In many of these fanfics, they are in a dangerous world where they have to fight for their own survival. Their relationship then becomes a factor in whether they succeed or not. For example, in some stories, they might have to rely on each other's unique abilities to stay alive. And of course, the theme of the supernatural is always present, as both characters have supernatural elements to them.
