The theme of missed opportunities also runs through these fanfictions. Moments that could have changed their relationship for the better are often missed, and the stories then explore how they deal with the consequences of these missed opportunities. It's about how their relationship might have been different if Gray had been quicker to respond to Juvia's love.
Another theme is regret. Gray usually experiences regret for not seeing Juvia's love earlier. This can lead to his attempts to make things right, which adds a lot of drama to the story. For example, in many fanfictions, he tries to win her back in various ways.
