Another theme is the power struggle. Both characters are leaders in their own right, with Thranduil ruling the Woodland Realm and Thorin leading the dwarves. Stories may delve into how they balance their leadership roles and power dynamics within their relationship. For example, some fanfictions might show them learning to respect each other's authority and decision - making processes.
One common theme is the 'enemies to lovers' trope. Given that Thranduil and Thorin have had their differences in the original stories, many fanfictions explore how they might overcome those differences and fall in love. Another theme is the exploration of their different cultures. Thranduil is an elf - king and Thorin is a dwarf - prince, so their cultural differences add an interesting layer to the relationship.
One common theme is the overcoming of differences. Since Thranduil is an elf and Bard is a human, there are cultural, racial, and lifespan differences. Fanfictions often focus on how they bridge these gaps to be together.
One common theme is the forbidden love aspect. Since Thranduil is the king and Tauriel is a lower - ranked elf, there's often a sense of their relationship being against the norms. Another theme is adventure. Their love might be intertwined with the perils they face in Mirkwood, like fighting off orcs or dealing with the dark magic in the forest.
Another theme is redemption. Given his flaws and the mistakes he made in the original story, a lot of fanfictions focus on his path to redemption. They show him trying to make up for his past actions, whether it's towards his comrades or his own sense of honor.
Another theme is the reimagining of relationships. With Thorin being female, the relationships with the other dwarves, Bilbo, and even elves can change significantly. Her interactions with male characters might have a different dynamic, like a potential romantic angle with some characters that wasn't there before.
One common theme is the clash and eventual harmony of different cultures. Hermione comes from the wizarding world in Harry Potter, and Thorin is from Middle - earth. Their different backgrounds, values, and ways of life often collide at first but then find a way to coexist. For example, Hermione's magic might be seen as strange by the dwarves at first, but then they come to rely on it.
Love is also a prevalent theme. Whether it's a platonic love or a romantic one, many fanfictions play with the idea of their feelings for each other. Some explore how their different backgrounds, Thorin as a dwarf king and Bilbo as a hobbit, influence the way they express their love and care for one another. It can be a very interesting exploration of their characters' emotions.
Redemption can also be a theme. Thorin's pride and how he might overcome it with Bilbo's help is something seen in some fanfictions. And loyalty, both to each other and to the company they are part of, is frequently a central theme as well. For example, in some stories, they are tested in terms of their loyalty to one another during difficult situations.
One common theme is the clash of different worlds. Since Bella is from a different universe and Thorin is from Middle - earth, their different cultures and ways of life often create interesting situations and conflicts.
One common theme is the struggle between Thorin's humanity (or dwarven nature) and his vampiric side. For example, in many fics, he has to fight the urge to feed on his friends.
