In this kind of fanfiction, a common trope is the 'power transfer'. This could be a magical item from The Hobbit having an impact on the power dynamics in Game of Thrones. Also, the 'lost heir' trope is popular. Maybe a character in Middle - earth is revealed to be related to a noble house in Westeros. There are also 'redemption arcs' where a villainous character from one universe gets a chance to redeem themselves in the other universe's setting.
One popular trope is the 'fish out of water' story. For example, a character from Game of Thrones suddenly appears in the Warcraft world and has to adapt to its strange new rules, magic, and races. Another is the 'power - up' trope. A relatively weak character from either universe gains extraordinary power in the other universe's context. For instance, a peasant from Game of Thrones might discover they have a natural affinity for Warcraft's shamanistic magic and become a powerful force.
One popular trope is the 'what if' scenarios. For example, in Game of Thrones fanfiction, 'What if Ned Stark didn't lose his head?' In Harry Potter, it could be 'What if Harry was sorted into Slytherin?' Another is the crossover trope, where characters from both universes meet. This can lead to really interesting interactions as the magic systems and cultures of both worlds collide. And of course, there are the fix - it fics, where fans rewrite parts of the story they didn't like. For instance, in Game of Thrones, giving a more satisfying end to certain characters' arcs.
The 'romance' trope is also quite common. Fans often create stories that focus on romantic relationships between characters that were not explored in the show, or they expand on the hinted romances. For instance, there could be a detailed story about Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen's relationship if you're into that pairing.
One popular trope is the 'fish out of water' story. For example, a Viking suddenly finding themselves in the complex political world of Game of Thrones. Another is the power - hungry character from one universe trying to take over in the other. It adds an element of conflict and drama.
One popular trope is the 'fish out of water' scenario. A character from one universe suddenly finds themselves in the other and has to adapt quickly. For example, a Warhammer dwarf in Westeros might be shocked by the lack of mountains and underground cities. Another trope is the 'power - up' where a character gains new abilities or weapons from the other universe. A knight in Game of Thrones might get a powerful Warhammer - style weapon and become nearly invincible.
The 'power couple' trope also exists. Two female characters coming together and using their combined wits and influence to navigate the dangerous political landscape of Westeros. For example, characters like Sansa and Margaery might be paired in fanfic in this way.
Well, a common trope is fixing the relationships that went wrong in the show. For instance, making Jaime and Brienne's relationship develop more smoothly without all the back - and - forth drama. Also, in many 'Game of Thrones Fix It Fanfic', the Night King is defeated in a more strategic and less chaotic way. And there's often the trope of giving Arya a more settled and happy life after all her adventures instead of her just disappearing into the unknown.
One challenge is world - building. Combining the Middle - earth of the Hobbits and the Westeros of Game of Thrones is tough. You need to make sure the different cultures, languages, and geographical features fit together well. For example, the hobbits' love for simple living and good food has to be reconciled with the often harsh and war - torn world of Game of Thrones.
The 'fish - out - of - water' trope is also prevalent. The male SI, coming from a modern world, has to adjust to the medieval - like setting of 'Game of Thrones'. This can result in humorous situations as they struggle with the different customs and values. But at the same time, it also allows for character growth as they learn to adapt and thrive in this new and dangerous world.
Another common trope is the 'crossover' itself. Writers like to bring characters from Walking Dead into the world of Game of Thrones or vice versa. Imagine Daryl Dixon in Westeros or Jon Snow in the zombie - filled world of Walking Dead. It creates really interesting scenarios and interactions between characters from different universes.
