Relationships in a non - sexual and positive way. Such as the friendship between Buffy and her Scooby Gang members. How they support each other through tough times in the fight against evil.
Topics like Buffy's battles against new and powerful vampires or demons. For example, exploring how she would deal with a vampire that has a unique power that she has never faced before.
One unique concept is time - travel fanfics. For example, some fics send Buffy back in time to the days when the first Slayer was alive. It changes the whole dynamic as she has to deal with the ancient vampire - slaying traditions and different versions of vampires.
A really good starting point could be 'Once More, with Feeling' by various authors. This fanfic collection is inspired by the musical episode of the show. It has a lot of creativity in terms of how the characters are developed further in the musical - themed stories. There are different takes on the relationships and the overall Buffy - verse, which makes it an interesting read.
One interesting aspect of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer Earshot' fanfic could be the exploration of Buffy's character in a more in - depth way. In the original episode, we see her struggle with her slayer duties and personal relationships. Fanfic might expand on how she deals with the knowledge she gains in 'Earshot', like her thoughts on the secrets she overheard. It could also delve into her relationships with her friends, perhaps showing a different side of her interactions with Xander, Willow or Giles.
For a Buffy the Vampire Slayer OC fanfic, an interesting OC could be a time - traveler. This character could come from the future to prevent a major catastrophe in the Buffyverse. They might have knowledge of future events and technologies that could either help or hinder Buffy's fight against evil. Another option is an OC who is an artist. But their art has a magical quality to it. When they draw something, it can come to life or have an effect on the real world. For example, if they draw a cage, it can trap a vampire. And an OC who is a shapeshifter, able to take on the forms of various mythical creatures to aid in battles.
In some Wishverse fanfics, there could be a plotline about the Scooby Gang trying to reverse the wishes that created the Wishverse. They might have to face their darkest selves or deal with versions of themselves that are very different. There could also be a plot where a new villain emerges specifically because of the instability of the Wishverse, and the gang has to figure out how to defeat this new threat while also fixing the Wishverse.
Another good topic could be Buffy's relationships with her friends in a more in - depth way. Maybe exploring how her friendship with Willow evolves as they face new challenges together, like dealing with a new type of dark magic that affects their friendship.
Yes, there are plenty of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fanfics that focus on other aspects such as the battles against vampires, the character development of the Scooby Gang, or different plotlines not related to sexual content. You can find them on various fanfic websites by using filters or by simply looking for tags like 'action' or 'friendship' related to the Buffyverse.
One common theme is power and responsibility. Just like in the original show, the self - insert characters often have to grapple with newfound powers and the weight of using them correctly. For example, they might have to decide whether to use their powers for personal gain or to protect the town like Buffy does.
Power dynamics is another theme. There's usually a struggle for power between the hybrids and the regular characters. Buffy has to use her slayer powers to keep the hybrids in check if they pose a threat, and this creates an interesting power play. Also, some hybrids may try to gain more power over the others or over the humans in Sunnydale. This theme adds a lot of drama and action to the stories.
One common theme is the exploration of forbidden love. Since the show itself doesn't really have much in terms of gay relationships in the main plot, fanfics often play with the idea of characters falling in love against the odds. Another theme is the re - imagining of character dynamics. For instance, two characters who were just friends in the show might be in a romantic relationship in the fanfic. And self - discovery is also a theme, as characters come to terms with their new - found feelings in these alternative storylines.
