A prevalent theme is growth. Both Ciel and Elizabeth grow as individuals and as a couple in these fanfictions. They learn to understand each other better. Also, the theme of mystery is there sometimes. For example, there could be a mystery surrounding Ciel's past that Elizabeth helps him uncover, strengthening their bond.
One common theme is love against all odds. Their different social standings and the situations Ciel is often in make their relationship a struggle, but love perseveres. Another is the theme of loyalty. Elizabeth's loyalty to Ciel and vice versa is often explored.
Common themes include family influence. Their families play a role in their relationship, either supporting or opposing it. Additionally, the theme of sacrifice is often present. One of them may have to sacrifice something for the sake of their relationship, like Ciel sacrificing some of his duties or Elizabeth sacrificing her own desires for a while.
