The main theme could be about hope. It often shows how characters find their way out of difficult or dark situations, which implies that there is always hope even in the toughest times.
Often, there will be some sort of antagonist or opposing force. It could be an internal force within the main character, like their own negative thoughts or habits. Or it could be an external factor, such as a difficult person in their life, a harsh social environment, or a challenging situation that they need to overcome in order to get 'out of the darkness'.
It could be centered around survival. Turtledove is known for creating detailed worlds where characters face various challenges. In 'Out of the Darkness', perhaps the characters are striving to survive in a world filled with obstacles, and their journey of survival is what the novel is mainly about.
I'm not entirely sure as I haven't read the specific novel. But in Turtledove's works, he often has a diverse set of characters. There might be a protagonist who is leading the journey out of the darkness. It could be a regular person who finds themselves in extraordinary circumstances.
The story 'The Darkness Out There' by Penelope Lively is a thought - provoking piece. It often explores themes of perception, the unknown, and the duality of human nature. For example, the setting in the story, which may seem ordinary at first, gradually reveals hidden depths and a sense of unease as the plot unfolds.
The story focuses on Sandra, a young girl, and her encounter with Mrs. Rutter. Sandra initially has a rather naive view of the older woman. As the story progresses, through their interactions and the revelations about Mrs. Rutter's past, Sandra's perception of her changes dramatically.
I'm not sure specifically as there could be many different versions of such a fanfiction. It might be about a sakura (cherry blossom) symbolically emerging from a state of darkness, perhaps representing a character's journey from a difficult situation to a better one.
It's hard to say exactly without reading it, but often in such fanfictions, there are characters that are either from the original source material it's based on or new characters created specifically for the fanfiction. They could be heroes with special abilities trying to fight against an evil force.
Well, without more context, it's hard to be specific. But generally in fanfiction, 'came out of darkness' could mean a character breaking free from an oppressive force, like a character in a fantasy story escaping from the control of an evil sorcerer. It can also be a psychological journey, such as a character dealing with trauma and finally emerging from the mental 'darkness'.
