The theme of jealousy often appears. Gaara may become jealous if he sees Sakura interacting with other male characters, especially those who are also powerful or have a history with her. This jealousy can manifest in different ways, from silent brooding to more aggressive displays of his possessive nature.
A frequent theme is the exploration of their unique abilities. Sakura's medical ninjutsu and combat skills combined with Gaara's sand powers can create interesting scenarios. For example, they might work together to develop a new jutsu that combines their powers. Also, love against all odds is a common theme, as their different villages and roles in their respective communities might pose challenges to their relationship.
In fanfiction, Gaara could be possessive of Sakura due to their different upbringings. Gaara was alone and isolated for a long time, while Sakura grew up in a more normal ninja community. His possessiveness could stem from his envy of her normalcy and his desire to keep that 'light' in his life.
Common themes in such fanfictions include the idea of ownership. It's not in a literal sense, but more of an emotional ownership. Sakura might feel that Sasuke is 'hers' after waiting for him for so long. And Sasuke might have a similar feeling towards Sakura. Another theme is the struggle with independence. Their possessiveness can sometimes clash with the other's need for independence. For example, Sasuke is a very independent character, but if Sakura is too possessive, it can create a conflict. Also, there's often the theme of redemption. Sasuke might be possessive as a way to redeem himself for all the pain he has caused Sakura in the past, by making sure he is the only one in her life now.
Love and devotion are also key themes. The possessiveness is really a manifestation of their deep love. In these fanfictions, their love is so intense that it turns into possessiveness. They are devoted to each other and the fanfiction might show how they handle situations where that devotion is tested, such as when they are separated or faced with difficult choices.

Another theme is the discovery of love in unexpected places, as their relationship isn't a typical one in the original Naruto storyline.
Another theme is redemption and healing. Gaara has a troubled past, and Sakura, with her medical skills and kind heart, can be portrayed as someone who helps him heal. In turn, Gaara gives Sakura a sense of security and a different perspective on life. It's a two - way street of growth and love in these fictions.
The theme of personal growth also frequently appears. Through their encounters in fanfiction, both Sakura and Gaara often grow as characters. Sakura might become more confident in her combat abilities, and Gaara could further develop his understanding of human relationships outside of his village.
