One common theme is the exploration of gender roles. Since Shoto is typically male in the original, making her female in fanfiction often leads to an examination of how she navigates a world where male heroes are more common. For example, she might face different expectations or challenges.
Love and romance can also be a theme, although not always in a straightforward way. Sometimes it's a slow - burn romance where they gradually realize their feelings for each other. Additionally, the theme of growth is prevalent. They grow as heroes and as individuals because of their connection. This can include things like improving their combat skills, learning new strategies, and becoming more confident in themselves.
There's also 'The Girl with Dual Powers'. In this fanfiction, fem Shoto has to deal with the unique challenges of having her two different quirks as a girl in a male - dominated hero world. It has great character development and some really exciting plot twists.
Well, 'United Hearts' is a great one too. In this fanfiction, fem shoto has a unique quirk that complements izuku's in unexpected ways during battles. Their interactions outside of combat are also very well - written, with a slow - burn kind of relationship that builds up over time as they get to know each other better. It's full of action, emotion, and some really cool hero - related scenarios.
Often, there is the theme of inspiration. Deku is very inspiring in the original story, and in fanfiction, he can inspire Shoto to be a better hero. Also, self - discovery. They both are on a journey to discover more about themselves, their powers, and their place in the hero world. In fanfiction, this journey can be elaborated on in different and interesting ways.
One common theme is redemption. Dabi, with his troubled past, often has a journey towards redemption, and Shoto can play a part in that. Another theme is family. Given their complex family relationships in the original story, fanfics often explore how they deal with family issues together.
