** {{Magitek}} and SchizoTech show up frequently in his universes. ''Nimona'' is sent in an ambiguously medieval world, but has things like flatscreen [=TVs=], electrical power, and laser weapons, as well as some recent experimentation to derive fuel from magic. In ''She-Ra'', most of the princess kingdoms are powered by runestone magic, but there's some basic tech achievements and more advanced technology derived from excavated [[{{Precursors}} First Ones]] relics, and the Horde being almost fully industrialized (admittedly, this mix of magic and technology has always been an element of He-Man and She-Ra's worlds).
** Rivals from shared backgrounds who grow up to view the world differently and fight on opposite sides of wars. Bonus points if their interactions involves BelligerentSexualTension and FoeRomanticSubtext. Examples include Ballister and Goldenloin in ''Nimona'', Jubilee and Sanna in ''Runaways'', and Adora and Catra in ''She-Ra''.
** Big muscular women, notably Sanna in ''Runaways'', Rosie in ''Lumberjanes'', Huntara, Scorpia, and Adora in She-Ra form, and sometimes Nimona herself.
** Shapeshifters, such as Nimona in her titular book and Double Trouble in ''She-Ra''. ND is also fond of mentioning that he feels [[Film/AttackOfTheClones Zam Wesell]] of ''Franchise/StarWars'' was underused.

* WriteWhatYouKnow: Stevenson grew up in a fundamentalist religious environment before moving into gay circles and coming out as lesbian, and eventually as transmasculine.
