One popular trope is the 'enemies - to - lovers' trope. Since Jane and Carlos are from different sides in the Descendants world, this can make for an interesting dynamic where they start off not getting along but gradually fall in love. Another is the 'hurt/comfort' trope, where one of them gets into trouble or is hurt, and the other comes to their rescue.
Another option is Tumblr. Although it's more of a social media platform, there are a lot of fanfiction writers who post their work there. You can search for Descendants - related tags, such as '#Jane and Carlos' or '#Descendants fanfic' to find some really cool stories. However, the content on Tumblr can be a bit scattered, so you might need to do some more digging compared to the dedicated fanfiction platforms.
I haven't come across any fanfiction about Carlos being abused in Descendants. However, the world of fanfiction is vast, and there could potentially be something out there. But it's not something that would likely be widely promoted or associated with the overall positive brand of Descendants.
Possible themes in Descendants Carlos fanfiction could include his friendship with the other characters. For example, his relationship with Mal, Evie, and Jay. Another theme might be his growth from a villain - kid to a more heroic figure. His relationship with his parents or how he adapts to life outside of the Isle of the Lost could also be common themes.
One common theme is friendship. Their bond and how they support each other through different situations. For example, in some fanfictions, they help each other deal with family issues.
In the fanfiction, a memorable moment is when Carlos is feeling homesick for the Isle of the Lost, and Jay cheers him up by reminiscing about their old times there. It's a very touching moment that shows how much they understand each other. And then there's the time when they participate in a sports event together in Auradon. They push each other to do their best, and the way they celebrate their small victories together is really heartwarming.
Overcoming insecurities is also a common theme. Carlos might be insecure about his skills compared to others in Auradon, and Evie might be insecure about her past as a villain's daughter. In fanfiction, they help each other overcome these insecurities, which deepens their bond. This makes their relationship more relatable and interesting to read about.
I really liked 'Carlos and Evie: A Royal Bond'. This fanfic delves into their backstories on the Isle of the Lost and how that shaped their personalities. It then shows how those traits play out in their relationship in Auradon. There are a lot of emotional scenes and great character development.
A popular fanfiction is 'Under the Stars with Mal and Carlos'. It's a more character - study - like story. It delves into their late - night conversations, their dreams, and how they support each other. The descriptions of their bond are so vivid, like when they share their fears about the future and how they plan to make Auradon a better place for everyone, not just the heroes but also the former villains.
A common theme is friendship development. Their relationship might start as a simple acquaintance and then grow into a deep and meaningful friendship. Another theme could be adventure. They might go on quests together and face challenges side by side, which strengthens their bond.
