One common theme is the protection of the baby. Given their supernatural world, there are always threats, and Elena and Elijah have to use their powers and wits to keep the baby safe. For example, in many stories, they face off against other vampires or witches who might want to harm the baby.
The baby could have a really interesting relationship with Klaus. Since Elijah is Klaus's brother, Klaus might be both protective and a bit jealous of the baby. He could see it as a new addition to the family that he needs to look out for, but also as someone who might take away some of the attention from him.
Well, it could have super strength. Since Elijah is a powerful vampire and Elena has her own special traits from being a doppelganger, their baby might inherit enhanced physical abilities. Maybe it could move at super - speed like vampires do, but also have some kind of mental power from Elena's side, like being able to sense danger in a different way than normal vampires.
Another interesting one is 'Our Little Miracle'. This fanfiction focuses on the unique experiences of Elena and Elijah as new parents. It shows their love for each other growing even stronger as they take care of their baby. There are some really sweet scenes where they both learn how to be parents and deal with the joys and difficulties that come with it.
Well, first of all, Elijah would be by Elena's side all the time. He would help her with her daily needs, like getting things she needs or helping her move around when she becomes less mobile during the pregnancy. He would also share his knowledge of the supernatural world with her, so she can better understand what might be happening to her and the baby, and together they can prepare for any challenges that might come their way.
I really like 'Elena and Elijah's Uncharted Journey'. This fanfic takes them on an adventure outside of Mystic Falls. It has a lot of great dialogue that makes their connection seem very real and deep. The author does a wonderful job of building the story around their relationship.
Love is a very common theme. Their relationship, whether it's a budding romance or a deep platonic love, is often explored. Another theme is the idea of sacrifice. Given the complex situations they are often in, one or both may have to sacrifice something for the other.
Well, it could go either way. They could become closer as they both have a stake in the baby's future. Maybe they start to see each other in a new light, as co - fathers. But there's also a chance that their old rivalries resurface. For example, if there are decisions to be made about the baby's upbringing or training in the supernatural arts. Klaus might want to raise the baby to be more aggressive and powerful, while Elijah might prefer a more diplomatic and refined approach. This could lead to arguments and a strain on their relationship again.
A fanfiction could explore the idea that Elijah's desire for Elena is part of a bigger prophecy. Maybe there's a hidden message that says if Elijah and Elena are together, it will bring peace to the vampire and human world. So he's driven by this sense of duty as well as his personal feelings for her. This would lead to a lot of internal conflict for Elijah as he tries to balance his feelings with the potential consequences of their relationship.
One idea could be that Elijah tries to court Elena in a very old - fashioned and gentlemanly way. He might take her on trips to historical places he has known over the centuries, sharing his stories and knowledge with her. This would be a contrast to the other vampires' more aggressive approaches towards Elena.
