One common theme is power struggle. Since Jean Grey as Dark Phoenix has immense power, the OC often has to deal with that power dynamic, either trying to control it or being affected by it.
Love and acceptance is also a major theme. The OC might be the one to truly accept Jean Grey in her Dark Phoenix state, unlike others who fear her. This creates a special bond between them, and the story often revolves around how this bond helps them face various challenges in the X - Men universe.
Another theme is redemption. The OC might be involved in helping Jean Grey find a way to redeem herself from the dark path of the Dark Phoenix. It could be through love, friendship or shared experiences. This theme is often explored to add depth to the relationship between the two characters. The stories also usually involve a lot of self - discovery for both the OC and Jean Grey. They learn about their own limits, powers and emotions as they interact with each other in the complex world of mutants and superpowers. It makes the story more than just a simple love or friendship story but a journey of two characters growing together.
Another theme is identity. OCs in these fanfics usually have to define themselves in relation to Jean Grey's Dark Phoenix form. Are they an ally? A rival? This exploration of identity adds depth to the stories.
