The theme of family also pops up. Sly has his own family history and Carmelita has her own set of values influenced by her family or her role as a law enforcer. In fanfiction, their different family backgrounds can be used to create conflict or to bring them closer together. For example, Sly's family of thieves might be at odds with Carmelita's sense of justice, but they could also find common ground through understanding each other's family values.
One common theme is the struggle between their two worlds. Sly being a thief and Carmelita being a law enforcer. Their love has to overcome this huge obstacle.
One common theme is the idea of redemption. Since Sly is a thief and Carmelita is a cop, sometimes fanfictions explore how Sly might redeem himself in Carmelita's eyes. Another theme is forbidden love, as their different standings in society make their relationship a bit of a taboo in the context of the story world.
One of the main themes is the struggle between duty and love. Carmelita has a duty to uphold the law, but she's falling for Sly. And for Sly, he has to decide if he's willing to give up his life of crime for Carmelita. Also, the theme of trust is big. They have to learn to trust each other despite their differences.
Adventure is also a big theme. They often go on adventures together in the fanfics. Maybe they team up to stop a bigger villain that threatens both of them. This combines the action - packed nature of the Sly Cooper games with the relationship aspect between the two characters.
A fanfiction of Sly Cooper and Carmelita getting married could be full of twists and turns. For example, just as they are about to say their vows, one of Sly's old foes could show up with a plan to disrupt the wedding. But Sly and Carmelita, being the strong characters they are, team up to defeat the foe and then continue with their wedding. Their relationship has always been complex, with Carmelita chasing Sly in the past. Now, as they get married, it symbolizes a new chapter where they are on the same side, facing the future together, and their love overcomes all the past differences and challenges.
One common theme is the 'forbidden love' aspect. Since they are often on opposite sides in the game, their love in fanfiction can be seen as something that goes against the norm of their world. Another theme is redemption, like Carmelita seeing Sly in a new light and him trying to change for her.
One common theme is the 'opposites attract' dynamic. Sly is a thief and Carmelita is a cop, so their relationship in fanfics often plays on this conflict while also exploring their underlying attraction. Another theme is redemption. Sometimes Sly is on a path to change his ways, and Carmelita's presence in his life is a factor in that journey.
A less common but still present theme is the idea of changing for the better. Sly might be inspired by Carmelita to become a better person, not just in terms of his thieving ways but also in his general outlook on life. Similarly, Carmelita could learn to be more open - minded from Sly. These themes make the Sly and Carmelita fanfictions really interesting to read.
Redemption could also be a theme. Maybe Sly Lemon has done something wrong in the past and through his interactions with Carmelita Fox, he tries to redeem himself. Or perhaps Carmelita Fox has some prejudices that she overcomes through her relationship with Sly Lemon. These themes can make the fanfic more interesting and engaging as they explore deeper aspects of the characters.
There's a fanfiction called 'A New Understanding'. It takes place in an alternate universe where Sly and Carmelita meet under different circumstances. Instead of starting as enemies, they meet as allies against a greater threat. The story slowly builds their relationship, and it's interesting to see how their personalities mesh in this new scenario.
