A frequent theme is self - discovery. The reader, through their interactions with Shrek, discovers more about themselves. For example, they might find out that they are braver than they thought. Also, friendship is a big theme. Even if it can turn into a romantic relationship, the foundation is often a strong friendship between the two characters.
Some common themes include trust and transformation. Trust is important as the male reader has to trust the dragon not to harm him, and vice versa. The dragon may also be portrayed as a being that can transform, not just physically but also in terms of her personality. This transformation can be influenced by the male reader. For instance, if the male reader shows her kindness, she might become more gentle. There can also be a theme of mystery, as the dragon has her own backstory and secrets that the male reader gradually uncovers as the story progresses.
Friendship or a unique bond could also be a major theme. Maybe they start off as strangers but through various events, they form a deep and unbreakable bond. The fanfiction could show how they support each other, face challenges together, and how this relationship changes them both for the better.

A sense of belonging is another big theme. The reader, who may feel like an outsider in the real world, finds a place where they belong among the mutants. There are also themes related to fighting for justice, just like the X - Men do in the original stories.
