Another notable one is 'Beyond the Wall'. It delves into the mysteries and adventures that could have happened beyond the Wall. The author creates a vivid and dangerous world filled with new creatures and challenges, while still maintaining the essence of the original Game of Thrones setting. It has a great mix of action, mystery, and character development.
One of the great ones could be 'A Song of Ice and Fire: The Lost Chapters'. It fills in some of the gaps in the original story in a really engaging way. It has well - developed characters and a plot that weaves in and out of the existing lore seamlessly.
The 'forbidden love' trope can be really engaging. Imagine a love story between a character from 'Game of Thrones' and one from 'Lord of the Rings' in a crossover fanfiction. This trope can create a lot of conflict and emotional depth. And the 'rag - to - riches' or 'rise to power' trope is also seen a lot, as it shows the character's growth and transformation.
A unique plot that either fills in gaps or takes the story in a new direction. Like exploring what would have happened if a certain character didn't die. It has to be something that the original series didn't cover but still feels like it could be part of the same universe. It should also have a good flow and pacing, not be too rushed or too slow.
Redemption is also a theme that pops up a lot. Some characters in fanfic might be seeking redemption for their past wrongs. This could be a knight who has killed innocents in the past trying to make amends, or a lord who has betrayed his people and now wants to set things right. It's an interesting way to explore the moral grey areas of the 'Game of Thrones' universe.
One common trope is the 'fish out of water' scenario. RWBY characters in the unfamiliar and often cutthroat world of Westeros. Another is the power struggle trope. Since both universes have elements of power - seeking characters. A third trope could be the 'unlikely alliance'. For example, a RWBY character teaming up with an underdog in Game of Thrones against a common enemy.
One popular trope is the 'fish out of water' story. For example, a Viking suddenly finding themselves in the complex political world of Game of Thrones. Another is the power - hungry character from one universe trying to take over in the other. It adds an element of conflict and drama.
One popular trope is the 'fish out of water' story. For example, a character from Game of Thrones suddenly appears in the Warcraft world and has to adapt to its strange new rules, magic, and races. Another is the 'power - up' trope. A relatively weak character from either universe gains extraordinary power in the other universe's context. For instance, a peasant from Game of Thrones might discover they have a natural affinity for Warcraft's shamanistic magic and become a powerful force.
One popular trope is the 'fish out of water' scenario. A character from one universe suddenly finds themselves in the other and has to adapt quickly. For example, a Warhammer dwarf in Westeros might be shocked by the lack of mountains and underground cities. Another trope is the 'power - up' where a character gains new abilities or weapons from the other universe. A knight in Game of Thrones might get a powerful Warhammer - style weapon and become nearly invincible.
A less common but still present trope is the 'Mentor - Student' relationship. An elf, with their long - lived wisdom and magical knowledge, could become a mentor to a young character in Game of Thrones, like Arya Stark. The elf teaches the human skills, whether it's combat - related magic or a different way of thinking, which then helps the human character in their own journey and development within the story.
In this kind of fanfiction, a common trope is the 'power transfer'. This could be a magical item from The Hobbit having an impact on the power dynamics in Game of Thrones. Also, the 'lost heir' trope is popular. Maybe a character in Middle - earth is revealed to be related to a noble house in Westeros. There are also 'redemption arcs' where a villainous character from one universe gets a chance to redeem themselves in the other universe's setting.
The 'romance' trope is also quite common. Fans often create stories that focus on romantic relationships between characters that were not explored in the show, or they expand on the hinted romances. For instance, there could be a detailed story about Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen's relationship if you're into that pairing.
