In Thranduil x OC fanfiction, the theme of transformation is often present. The OC might transform Thranduil in some way, making him more open - minded perhaps, and Thranduil can also transform the OC, giving them a new sense of purpose or identity. Another theme is the exploration of power dynamics. Thranduil is a king, so there are power differences between him and the OC, and how they navigate this in their relationship is an interesting aspect.
One common theme is the 'outsider' aspect. Since the OC is not part of the original lore, they are often an outsider coming into Thranduil's world, like a human or an elf from a different region. Another is the theme of discovery. The OC and Thranduil discover each other's personalities, secrets, and values as their relationship progresses.
The theme of self - discovery is also prevalent. The OC, being in a new and magical world, often has to learn about their own strengths and weaknesses. In a story where an OC is a human in Thranduil's realm, they might discover a new side of themselves as they interact with the elves and face the challenges of the elven world.
One common theme is adventure. OCs often embark on quests or face challenges in Thranduil's realm. For example, they might go on a journey to find a lost elven artifact.
One common theme is the clash and then the melding of different cultures. Bilbo is a hobbit from a simple, home - loving society, while Thranduil is an elvenking from a more refined and ancient culture. Another theme is the idea of unexpected friendship or even love that blossoms between two very different individuals.
One common theme is the allure of the elven world. Fanfictions often explore the beauty and mystery of Thranduil's realm, with the reader being drawn into it. Another theme is the power dynamic. Thranduil is a king, so there's often a play between his authority and the reader's more ordinary or unique position. Love against odds is also a big theme. Since they come from different worlds or statuses, their relationship has to overcome various obstacles.
One common theme is friendship turned into something more. Given their different kingdoms and roles in Middle - earth, their initial interactions might be formal, but in fanfiction, it often evolves into a deeper emotional bond.
A prevalent theme is the exploration of their personalities. Loki's cunning and Thranduil's pride are often put to the test in these stories. They might start as adversaries but then find common ground. Also, themes of redemption can be found. Loki, with his often - controversial past, might seek redemption through his interactions with Thranduil, who has his own set of values and moral code.
Love against all odds is a very common theme. Since Thranduil is the king and Tauriel is a captain, there are social and status differences that they have to overcome in many of these stories. Another common theme is the forbidden nature of their relationship, as there are often political and traditional barriers.
A prevalent theme is the discovery of new emotions. Thranduil, being an ancient and somewhat aloof elf - king, discovers new depths of love and passion through his relationship with the reader. The fanfictions also often have the theme of protection. Thranduil wants to protect the reader from the dangers of his world, and the reader may also have a desire to protect Thranduil's heart and his kingdom in some way.
A prevalent theme is the exploration of different worlds. The human reader enters the elven realm and has to adapt to its beauty and mystery. There's also the theme of sacrifice. Sometimes the human might sacrifice their own world or future for Thranduil, or vice versa. And of course, there's always the theme of love's power to bridge the gap between two very different beings.
Family is a common theme. Given their father - son relationship, many fanfics explore how they interact as family members, the love, respect, and sometimes the misunderstandings within the family.
