There are several. One is the exploration of their parallel lives. Dick Grayson grew up in a different environment compared to Slade. Fanfictions can explore how these different upbringings shape their worldviews and how they interact based on that. Another storyline could be about Slade teaching Dick some skills in a non - sexual, non - malicious way, like some special combat techniques that Dick hasn't mastered yet. This creates an interesting dynamic of mentorship and learning between the two characters.
One popular storyline is their rivalry. Dick Grayson, as a hero, and Slade, as an anti - hero or villain in some cases, have a long - standing feud. Fanfictions might explore their battles, how they try to outwit each other in combat and strategy. Another is the idea of redemption. Some stories may have Slade on a path to redemption and Dick being the one who either helps or hinders that process.
Well, a common non - sexual storyline is their team - up against a greater evil. Maybe there's a new super - villain in town that is too powerful for either of them alone. So they have to put aside their differences and work together. This can lead to some interesting character development as they learn to trust each other, at least temporarily. Also, there are stories about Dick trying to understand Slade's motives and vice versa, which can be really engaging.
