Growth and self - discovery are also common. The characters might discover new things about themselves as they experience love. For example, a pony might learn to be more confident or more giving when in love. And this all ties into the overarching theme of 'Love is in Bloom'.
The beauty of nature is sometimes a theme as well. Given that ponies are often associated with nature in the MLP world, love can be shown as something that is as natural and beautiful as the meadows and forests they inhabit. For instance, a love story might be set in a beautiful garden, symbolizing the growth and beauty of love.
There's also 'Love in Bloom: The Garden of Friendship'. In this fanfiction, it focuses on how love can grow and strengthen the bonds of friendship among the ponies. It has some really heartwarming scenes that fans of MLP would enjoy.
The power of love itself is a very prominent theme. Love is shown to be able to break down barriers between different species in the MLP universe. In these fanfictions, love can change the way the changelings interact with the ponies, and it can create a new world of harmony and understanding that was previously thought impossible.
One common theme is their relationship development. Writers often explore how Bloom and Sky's love grows and faces challenges. Another theme is adventure. Since they are part of the Winx Club world, they might go on quests together in fanfictions.
Another theme is discovery. Apple Bloom could be discovering new places in Equestria, new types of magic, or even new things about herself. For instance, she might find out that she has a special talent for a type of magic she didn't know existed before, which then leads to an exciting adventure.
One common theme is the exploration of different relationships. Joseph and Brooklyn might be depicted in various kinds of relationships within the fanfic. It could be a mentor - mentee relationship, where one character teaches the other valuable lessons. Another theme could be the struggle against evil. They could be teaming up to fight against a dark force that is threatening their world, which often involves themes of courage and loyalty.
One interesting Bloom and Riven love fanfiction could be 'Bloom's Hidden Affection for Riven'. In this story, Bloom discovers a new side of Riven that she's attracted to. It might explore how they overcome their initial differences and develop a deep emotional bond.
One common theme is friendship. Just like in the original MLP series, the male reader often forms deep friendships with the pony characters. For example, he might help Twilight Sparkle with her magic studies and in return, learn valuable life lessons about loyalty and kindness.
One common theme is the struggle between good and evil, as Bloom represents good and Darkar is evil. Another is the power dynamic, like how Bloom's magic might interact with Darkar's dark powers.
One common theme is the power struggle. Since both Bloom and Valtor are powerful in their own ways, many fanfictions explore how they interact in terms of power. For example, who is stronger in different situations.
Fashion can be a theme as well, considering Stella's love for it. In some fanfics, they use fashion as a form of magic or as a way to express themselves. And of course, the theme of loyalty. Their loyalty to each other is often tested in various situations in fanfics, and it shows how strong their bond really is.
