One common theme is the exploration of power. Both Buffy and River have their own forms of power. Buffy has her slayer strength and River has her psychic abilities. Fanfics often explore how these powers interact and can be used in combination.
One popular Buffy Vampire Slayer River Tam fanfiction is 'The Crossover Chronicles'. It weaves an interesting story where the two worlds collide in unexpected ways. The characters are well - written and it keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Love and relationships are common themes. Many fanfictions explore Buffy's love for Angel or Spike further. Another theme is the struggle between good and evil. Since the show is about slaying vampires, this is often explored in new ways in fanfiction. And there's also the theme of self - discovery as the characters, especially Buffy, are constantly evolving.
In this type of fanfiction, a frequent theme is the re - evaluation of the vampire slayer mythology. Maybe the slayer line is seen as something that is more of a curse than a gift. Also, relationships might be re - imagined. For instance, Buffy's relationships with her friends or lovers could be presented in a much darker or more complex way than in the original series. It's all about taking the established Buffy world and turning it on its head to explore different ideas.
Love and acceptance are common themes. Since the characters are often in a world that may not fully understand their relationships, the fanfiction explores how they find love and acceptance within themselves and with their friends. Another theme is the struggle against the forces of evil while being in a lesbian relationship. It shows that love doesn't stop them from being strong slayers or witches.
One common theme is the clash of two different worlds. Buffy's world of slaying vampires and the WWE world of wrestling are so different, so when combined, it creates a lot of interesting situations. For example, Buffy has to deal with the over - the - top personalities in the WWE while still maintaining her slayer duties.
One common theme is the struggle for acceptance. In the Buffyverse, which is often full of danger and traditional norms, gay characters face challenges in having their relationships recognized and accepted. For example, they might have to hide their love from their friends who are busy fighting vampires.
The theme of cultural differences is quite prevalent. Buffy's world is based on a more modern - day Earth with a hidden supernatural side, while Stargate involves different planets and cultures. Fanfictions play with how the characters from Buffy would adapt to the alien cultures in Stargate and vice versa. Additionally, the theme of friendship and loyalty is strong. We see how the characters from both shows build new relationships or strengthen existing ones when they cross over. For instance, Willow could form a bond with Samantha Carter as they both are intelligent and resourceful women in their respective shows.
Love and attraction can also be a theme. Dracula has a certain allure, and in some fanfictions, Buffy or other characters might find themselves drawn to him in unexpected ways. This can create a lot of interesting drama and conflict, especially when combined with the fact that he's a vampire and she's the slayer.
Another theme is the expansion of the Buffyverse. Writers often create new storylines that are set in the same world but add new elements. This could be new villains or new powers for the characters. They might also explore different time periods or alternate universes within the Buffy the vampire slayer framework.
One common theme is identity exploration. Since Buffy already deals with a lot about self - discovery in the original show, in trans fanfiction, it often focuses on the character's journey in terms of their gender identity. Another theme is acceptance, both self - acceptance and acceptance from the other characters in the Buffyverse.
