Survival is another theme. The hobbits are usually in a situation where they have to survive the ashes - like difficult times, which could be physical hardships or emotional turmoil.
The theme of hope is prevalent too. Despite their hearts being in a state of ashes, the hobbits in these fanfictions always seem to find a glimmer of hope. It could be through friendship, like in the original 'Hobbit' story, or through self - discovery. They strive to turn their desolate situations around and look towards a better future.
One common theme is redemption. Just like in many stories, the hobbits often try to redeem themselves from whatever has made their hearts full of ashes, be it a past mistake or a great loss.
One great 'hobbit heart of ashes fanfiction' could be 'The Redemption of Ash'. It focuses on a character's journey to overcome the ashes - like despair in their heart. It has a very detailed description of the hobbit's struggle with inner demons.
One common theme is time travel or alternate timelines. Since the shows deal with different time periods, fanfictions often explore more scenarios related to this.
One common theme is the clash of different cultures. For example, when characters from a modern - day or a different fictional universe enter Middle - earth in 'The Hobbit' crossovers, there's a contrast between their values and those of the hobbits, dwarves, etc. Another theme is the exploration of new powers. If a character with superpowers from another universe comes to Middle - earth, how those powers interact with the magic and skills in 'The Hobbit' world is often explored.
One common theme is self - discovery. The original characters often start off not fully knowing their place or potential, but through their adventures in Middle - earth, they learn a great deal about themselves. For example, in many stories, a hobbit oc might think they are just an ordinary hobbit until they face a great danger or task and find they have hidden strengths.
One common theme is the combination of magic and adventure. Just like in the original 'The Hobbit', there are quests and challenges, but the addition of fairies brings in a new level of magic. For instance, the fairies might use their magic to aid the characters in their travels or battles.
Identity is also a big theme. When a hobbit becomes a vampire or vice versa, or when they interact closely, they question their own identities. For example, a hobbit vampire may struggle with its newfound bloodlust while still having the hobbit's love for home and comfort. This internal conflict makes for an interesting read. It's often explored in great detail in these fanfictions.
One common theme is friendship. Female hobbits often form strong bonds with other characters in the fanfiction. Another theme is adventure. They go on quests and face challenges just like the male hobbits in the original stories. And of course, there's the theme of home. The female hobbits usually have a deep connection to the Shire and their hobbit - holes.
Well, friendship is a big theme. Despite their differences, the characters from both universes can form deep and meaningful friendships in fanfiction. There's also the theme of adventure. Combining the two worlds means there are all kinds of new adventures to be had. And the concept of heroism is often explored. Both the Avengers and the hobbits are heroes in their own ways, and fanfictions can show how they can inspire each other to be even better heroes.
A common theme is survival. Given the nature of 'wake the ashes', characters often have to fight for their lives in a desolate world. They need to find food, water, and shelter.
Power and corruption are often themes. The struggle for power and how it can corrupt individuals is a big part of the An Ember in the Ashes world, and fanfictions like to explore this further. Also, redemption is a theme. Characters may seek to atone for their past wrongs in these fan - created stories.
