One common theme is adventure combination. For example, when crossing with other adventure - based series like 'Uncharted', the focus is on the two protagonists having an epic adventure together. Another theme is the clash of different universes. When 'Tomb Raider' crosses with 'Resident Evil', it's about two very different worlds colliding.
Another theme is the exploration of different cultures. Since Tomb Raider involves a lot of exploration of ancient sites around the world, and Buffy has her own lore, fanfics often blend these elements. They might explore how Buffy's slayer powers interact with the magic and mysteries associated with different cultures that Lara Croft uncovers.
Adventure is a common theme. Both Naruto and Tomb Raider are known for their adventure - filled stories. In fanfiction, this often means the characters from both universes go on quests together or find themselves in unfamiliar and dangerous situations. For example, exploring ancient ruins in the Naruto world.
One common theme is the clash and combination of different worlds. The magical world of Harry Potter and the adventurous, archaeological world of Tomb Raider.
Another great 'Tomb Raider crossover fanfic' is the one that crosses with 'The Witcher'. Here, Lara could meet Geralt. It's interesting to think about how Lara's modern - day adventuring and combat knowledge would blend with Geralt's medieval - like world of magic and monsters.
One common theme is the male OC being a foil to Lara Croft. For example, he might have different skills like being more of a tech expert while Lara is the adventurer. Another theme is the male OC having a personal vendetta or quest that intersects with Lara's archaeological pursuits. It could be something related to a lost family member in a dangerous location that Lara is also exploring.
A Tomb Raider and Uncharted crossover fanfiction could be about Lara Croft and Nathan Drake teaming up. Maybe they start off as rivals, both after the same ancient artifact. But as they face various traps and enemies, they realize they need to work together. They could share their skills, with Lara's survival skills and Nathan's sense of adventure complementing each other.
Well, one possibility could be that Naruto, with his ninja skills, teams up with Lara Croft in a tomb raiding adventure. Maybe they are searching for a powerful artifact that has ties to both their worlds. Naruto could use his shadow clones to help in exploring different areas of the tomb at the same time, while Lara uses her knowledge of ancient languages and traps.
A crossover with the Assassin's Creed series could also work well. Lara Croft might find herself in the middle of the conflict between the Assassins and the Templars. She could learn about their hidden history and use their ancient techniques while still relying on her own methods of survival and discovery.
Well, in these fanfics, the theme of freedom is quite prominent. Female raiders may be seeking freedom from the constraints of their raider groups or from the overall oppressive nature of the Fallout world. Another common theme is the search for purpose. They might be wandering aimlessly at first but then start to look for something more meaningful in their lives. And of course, the theme of conflict is always there. Whether it's internal conflict within themselves about their actions or external conflict with other groups in the Fallout setting.
Well, perhaps in the fanfiction, Lara Croft is exploring an uncharted planet when she stumbles upon a Halo ring. This attracts the attention of the Covenant, and Master Chief arrives to deal with the situation. At first, there's some tension between them as they come from different worlds and ways of doing things. But as they start to understand each other's motives and skills, they combine Lara's knowledge of ancient mysteries and Master Chief's combat expertise to fight the Covenant and figure out the secrets of the Halo ring.
