Love and romance are also prevalent. The male OC could fall in love with one of the Sohma family members or another character from the story. This can add a new layer of drama and emotion to the fanfiction. It might involve a slow - burn relationship or a love triangle. In some cases, the love story is intertwined with the Sohma family's curse, making it more complex.
Another theme is self - discovery. The male OC usually has his own journey of self - discovery. He may learn about his own abilities, his place in the world of 'Fruits Basket', and how he can contribute to the lives of the characters around him. This often involves facing his own fears and insecurities, just like the original characters in 'Fruits Basket' do.
One common theme is friendship. The male OC often forms deep friendships with the characters from the original 'Fruits Basket' story. For example, he might befriend Tohru and help her understand the Sohma family better.
Love and acceptance are common themes. The OC usually has to accept Kyo's curse and he has to accept her into his life. Their relationship grows as they learn to accept each other's flaws.
One common theme is Hatori's struggle with his past traumas. Since he has a lot of painful memories in the original 'Fruits Basket' story, fanfictions often explore how he copes with them. For example, some stories might have him finally coming to terms with things he couldn't before.
Family acceptance in the context of love is another theme. Characters may face challenges in getting their families to accept their relationships. For instance, a Sohma falling in love with someone outside the family and having to deal with the family's initial resistance while still holding onto their love.
One common theme is the exploration of friendship. Just as in both 'fruits basket' and the pokemon world, friendship is highly valued. In the fanfiction, characters from 'fruits basket' might form strong bonds with trainers or pokemon in the pokemon world based on mutual understanding and support.
It often explores themes like friendship and sharing. The characters might bond over the variety of fruits and the experiences they bring.
Often, the theme of growth and change is central. Tohru's pregnancy would bring about significant changes not just in her life, but also in the lives of those around her. There could be themes of anticipation and fear, as pregnancy is a big life change. Additionally, themes related to family values and the importance of love and support in such a situation might be prevalent. The fanfiction might also explore how the pregnancy affects Tohru's dreams and goals, as she has always been someone with a lot of hope and determination in the original story.
Another theme is friendship and acceptance. In both original works, friendship plays a crucial role. In fanfictions, characters from Harry Potter and Fruits Basket often form unlikely friendships. For example, Ron might befriend Momiji, and they learn to accept each other's differences, whether it's Ron's wizarding quirks or Momiji's animal - human transformation. It's about breaking barriers and finding common ground.
A common theme is the struggle with the supernatural elements of the Fruits Basket world. Shigure is part of the zodiac, and in fanfictions, this can create challenges in the relationship with the reader. The reader might have to come to terms with the fact that Shigure is not an ordinary human. Also, the theme of personal growth is often there. Both Shigure and the reader may grow as individuals as their relationship progresses, learning from each other and becoming better versions of themselves.
One idea could be creating an OC who is a long - lost relative of one of the main characters. For example, an OC who is a cousin of Tohru. This OC could bring new family secrets and dynamics to the story.
Friendship is another theme. The reader often becomes friends with the various members of the Sohma family. In some fics, it's about the reader bringing the family closer together through their friendship, like in 'The Reader's Bond with the Sohmas' where the reader helps heal some of the family rifts through their genuine friendship.
