The theme I write the most about is people chosing to do the right thing, because it's the right thing to do. Obviously, it's more apparent in some fics than others (In Perfect Light has the exchange “There’s a war we have to fight.” / “We don’t have to,” Steph says. She was a warrior in Gotham too. “But we will. No one dies on my watch.”, for example), either because it's a theme that's prevalent in the character already (like Stephanie Brown) or in the canon, but I'm hard-pressed to think of any fic of mine where that doesn't come up. In Punica Fides, it's also a big theme as seen with this line "Murder will not win me this war.", for example. (Although I feel like I should point out that, while Hannibal and Scipio are both good people, the difference is that Scipio is kind and Hannibal is fair.) Somewhat ironically, Strange Aeons kind of deconstructs that with "We're doing the right thing," Victor adds. / "Are we?" she asks. and They hadn’t been doing the right thing, but the necessary one., for example.

Another theme I love writing about is friendship. I fucking love frindship fic, it is my favourite kind of fic in the entire world. I love friendships, especially epic ones, or 'found family' types. I've written friendships where they're now enemies, one is immortal and the other is not and where they were both destroyed after having never really existed in the first place, for example.
