Survival is a theme that pops up often. Given Kol's complex and often dangerous life, fanfics often revolve around him trying to survive in a world full of threats, be it from other supernatural beings or from his own family's internal power struggles. Fanfics also often touch on his isolation at times, as he can be an outcast even within his own family.
One common theme is his struggle with his family's legacy. Kol often has to deal with the actions and reputations of his siblings in fanfic. Another theme is his search for power and how he uses or misuses it.
One common theme is love and loyalty. Since they are married, the stories often revolve around how deeply they love each other and stay loyal through different situations, like facing enemies or family drama.
One great Kol Mikaelson fanfic is 'Kol's Redemption'. It delves deep into his character, exploring his journey towards redemption in a really engaging way. The story has some great character development and interesting plot twists.
One common theme could be the challenges they face as a couple with an unexpected pregnancy. Another might be how their relationship evolves during this time.
There's 'Kol Mikaelson: The Lost Years'. This one is about Kol's unaccounted - for years. It's full of adventure and mystery. The author has clearly done their research on Kol's character and the Vampire Diaries universe in general. It's a great read for those who want to explore more about Kol's backstory and how it might have shaped the character we know in the show.
One popular trope is the 'enemies to lovers' scenario. Kol might start off as a bit of a bad boy towards the reader, but over time, feelings develop. Another is the 'forbidden love' trope, considering Kol's complex family and vampire nature. It could be that the relationship is against some vampire rules or family wishes.
One common theme is friendship. Many fanfics explore how an original character can form a deep and meaningful friendship with Rebekah. Another theme is adventure. Since the Mikaelson world is full of danger and mystery, the oc often gets involved in adventures with Rebekah. For example, they might go on a quest to find a lost artifact or face a new supernatural threat.
One great Kol Mikaelson OC fanfiction is 'The Lost Soul'. It has a really interesting original character who gets involved in the Mikaelson family drama in a unique way. The story is full of twists and turns, and the relationship between the OC and Kol is developed very well.
You can start by looking on fanfiction platforms like Archive of Our Own (AO3). It has a large collection of Kol Mikaelson and reader fanfics. Just use the search function and type in 'Kol Mikaelson' and'reader' and you'll get a bunch of results.
I really like 'Kol's True Soulmate'. In this fanfiction, the story unfolds as the protagonist navigates the dangerous world of the Mikaelsons while being Kol's soulmate. It's full of action and romance. There's also 'The Soulmate Bond with Kol' which delves deep into the magical aspects of the soulmate bond. It shows how the bond affects not only the two soulmates but also those around them.
The relationship between the OC and Kol is crucial. It should be believable and dynamic. It could start as a rocky relationship, like in some fanfictions where the OC initially hates Kol but then gradually falls for him as they get to know each other better. The chemistry between them needs to be palpable.
