Some fanfictions focus on the relationship between Sebastian and Claude outside of their duties. Maybe they form an unlikely alliance for a short time to achieve a common goal. This could be due to a threat that is bigger than their rivalry. Or it could be about the mystery surrounding their pasts. Writers might create stories that dig into their origins as demons, how they became the butlers they are, and if there are any past connections between them.
One popular theme is the power struggle between Sebastian and Claude. Since they are both highly capable butlers with their own motives, their clashes over protecting their masters or achieving their own goals make for exciting storylines. Another theme could be loyalty. Despite their devious natures, they show a form of loyalty to their respective masters, and exploring the limits and true nature of that loyalty in fanfiction can be really interesting.
Well, a common theme is the supernatural elements. In the 'Black Butler' universe, both Sebastian and Claude are demons, so fanfictions often play around with their demonic powers, like how they use them in different situations or how they hide them from the human characters. Also, there's the theme of temptation. They are always trying to tempt their masters or other characters, and fanfictions might explore what happens when those temptations go too far or are resisted.
