Adventure is also quite common. They go on new magical adventures together in fanfiction, which is exciting. And of course, self - discovery. They learn more about themselves and their feelings for each other as the stories progress. For example, in some fictions, they realize their romantic feelings while on a dangerous quest.
Friendship is a big one. Since they start as friends, many fictions explore how that friendship can be the foundation for a deeper relationship. Another common theme is loyalty. Their loyalty to each other in the original series is often expanded upon in fanfiction.
One more theme is the struggle with identity. Given their status as wizards and their roles in the wizarding world, in fanfiction they sometimes struggle with how their relationship might be perceived. This adds an interesting layer to the stories as they have to deal with both their own feelings and the potential reactions of others.
