One common theme is love and relationships. Since the original story has a strong focus on the complex relationships between characters, fanfictions often explore different romantic pairings involving Rose or expand on her friendships.
Obviously, Rose is one of the main characters. She's likely to be at the center of the story, driving the plot forward with her actions and decisions. Dimitri might also be a key character. His relationship with Rose, whether it's a romantic one or a mentor - mentee relationship, can play a big role in the fanfiction.
One great 'Rose Leaves Vampire Academy' fanfiction is 'The Lost Bond'. It explores the relationship between Rose and other characters in a new and exciting way, with some interesting twists on the original plot.
Well, perhaps there's a plotline where the court is in danger and Rose has to use her wits and skills to save it. She might have to form alliances with unlikely characters. Or there could be a love triangle situation where Rose is caught between two characters, which adds a whole new layer of drama to the story. This could also lead to her having to make difficult choices that shape the future of the court.
Perhaps a fanfiction where Rose leaves the academy due to a misunderstanding with Lissa. In this story, she has to find her own path while still maintaining her loyalty to her friend from afar. It could show her struggle between independence and friendship.
A fanfiction could involve Rose being captured by Strigoi. She then has to use her wits and combat skills to escape. Along the way, she discovers some secrets about the Strigoi that could change the way the dhampirs and Moroi view them. For example, she might find out that some Strigoi were forced into their state against their will in some strange, dark ritual.
Sure. There might be a fanfiction where Rose leaves the academy for a while but keeps in touch with her friends through letters. It could show how their friendship endures despite the distance.
I really liked 'Lissa and Rose: The Unseen Adventures'. This fanfic takes the two on a journey outside of the normal Vampire Academy setting. They face new challenges together, which makes their friendship even stronger. The writing is quite engaging and it's easy to get lost in the story.
Love is a very common theme. Many fanfictions focus on the romantic relationships between the characters, like Rose and Dimitri. Their love story is often explored in different ways, sometimes with added drama or new challenges.
I really like 'A Rose and Adrian Adventure'. It takes them on a new quest outside of the typical Vampire Academy scenarios. It's full of action and also shows their romantic side. They face new enemies together and in the process, their relationship becomes even stronger.
