One common theme is the exploration of power dynamics. Given their different positions in the original story, fanfics often play with how they interact in terms of power.
There's 'The Unlikely Bond' in which the relationship between Ned and Cersei is depicted in a very complex and interesting way. The author delves deep into their personalities and how they might interact given their different backgrounds and motives. It's a really engaging read if you like exploring different character dynamics.
Well, if Ned married Cersei, it might have changed the course of many events. Their opposing natures and loyalties could have caused chaos within the realm. It could also have affected the relationships of other characters in unexpected ways.
The challenges would be many. Politically, their marriage would be a strange alliance. The Starks and Lannisters have different agendas. Ned would want to rule justly and fairly, while Cersei is only interested in power for herself and her family. Emotionally, they are polar opposites. Ned is a loving father and a man of principle. Cersei is a complex character, often driven by jealousy and greed. Her relationship with Jaime is a major hurdle. And Ned would have a hard time trusting Cersei, given her reputation for underhandedness. Their marriage would be like mixing oil and water in the world of fanfiction.
Well, it would be a very different story. Their marriage might force the Starks and Lannisters to work together more closely. But Ned would be constantly aware of Cersei's true nature. He might try to keep her in check, which would make her resent him. And the whole Robert's Rebellion backstory would have a different feel. Since Ned was so close to Robert, his marriage to Cersei would add a strange layer of complexity to that relationship. It could also potentially change the fates of their children, as they would be part of a combined Stark - Lannister family.
Power dynamics is a very common theme. Since Cersei is a powerful figure in the Game of Thrones universe, seeing how an OC interacts with her in terms of power - whether they are trying to gain it from her, share it, or undermine it is often explored.
Well, it can be seen as such. Naruto is all about friendship, growth, and achieving one's dreams through hard work, while Cersei is more about political intrigue and power - grabbing. In a fanfiction, it could be interesting to see how Naruto's positive values might clash or perhaps influence Cersei's more self - serving nature. Maybe Naruto could teach her about loyalty and self - lessness in a way that changes her character arc.
Perhaps a plot where Cersei, in a moment of desperation, summons Naruto using some dark magic. She hopes he can help her against her enemies. Naruto, being Naruto, wants to find a more peaceful solution. This leads to a series of events where Naruto has to navigate the political minefield of Westeros while also trying to reform Cersei's ways.
Power is a common theme. Cersei is all about power, and when an OC is introduced, the power dynamic becomes a central focus. Whether the OC is trying to gain power through Cersei or is a threat to her power, it drives the story. Another theme is loyalty. Cersei values loyalty, but also has a hard time trusting. So, the OC's loyalty or lack thereof can create a lot of tension. Love can also be a theme, though it might be a twisted form of love, given Cersei's nature.
