A great way to develop their relationship is through a shared hobby. For example, if they both like gardening, they can work together in the garden. As they plant and tend to the plants, they talk, laugh, and gradually grow closer. This simple activity can be a starting point for a deeper emotional connection in the fanfiction.
Another approach could be through a crisis situation. Let's say there's a threat to Percy from an old enemy. Paul and Sally have to work together to protect him. In the process, they see each other's determination and courage. Paul might be surprised by Sally's fierce protectiveness, and Sally might be impressed by Paul's quick thinking. This shared experience can significantly enhance their relationship in the fanfiction.
In a fanfiction, Paul could be struggling with understanding the demigod world that Percy and Sally are a part of. Sally takes it upon herself to educate him. As she does so, they start to fall in love all over again, this time with a newfound understanding of each other's lives. Their relationship blossoms as Paul becomes more accepting and involved in the demigod aspects of Sally's life.
Paul might be characterized as the voice of reason. In a world full of chaos and mythical beings, he can be the one who tries to find logical solutions. He could be a bit of an amateur detective in the fanfiction, using his teaching skills to research and figure out things related to the demigod world. Also, his relationship with Sally gives him a deeper connection to Percy and a motivation to be involved in the demigod's life, so his protective side towards Percy can be emphasized.
He could interact with them in a very friendly and awestruck way at first. Like he's constantly asking questions about their powers and adventures, and the Avengers are amused by his enthusiasm. For example, he might be star - struck when he meets Iron Man and keeps asking about his latest suit upgrades.
Well, Paul might be really shocked at first. Percy could show him some of his demigod powers, like controlling water. Paul, being a normal mortal, would be super amazed and probably a bit scared too.
One idea could be that Paul discovers Percy's true identity in a really unexpected way, like during a school field trip to a museum where a mythological artifact comes to life. Another could be Paul and Percy teaming up to save Sally from a new threat that has ties to the Greek underworld. Maybe Paul gets dragged into a quest by accident and has to quickly learn about the demigod world.
It could be a new monster that is specifically targeting Percy's mortal connections, like Paul. Maybe a monster that feeds on the fear of mortals who are close to demigods.
Perhaps in this fanfiction, Paul Blofis is a scientist who has been studying the Avengers for years. One day, he discovers a connection between the Avengers' powers and a strange energy source. This discovery attracts the attention of both the Avengers and their enemies. So, the Avengers bring him into their team to help them understand and protect this energy source from falling into the wrong hands. He has to adapt to the superhero life quickly and contribute his scientific knowledge to the team's battles.
The relationship can start with Sally having a dream about Aphrodite. This initial encounter in the dream world can pique Sally's curiosity. Then, in the real world, she starts to notice small signs of Aphrodite's presence, like finding roses in unexpected places. As she starts to explore more about Aphrodite, she could visit ancient temples dedicated to the goddess. This would show her dedication and interest, and Aphrodite could start to communicate with her more directly.
In a 'Paul Blofis meets Poseidon' fanfiction, it's possible that Poseidon would appear to Paul in a dream first. He could give Paul some cryptic messages about Percy's future. Paul, being a mortal, would struggle to understand at first but then slowly start to piece things together. And when they finally meet in person, there could be a tense exchange as Paul tries to stand his ground in front of a powerful god.
Paul might be a bit intimidated at first. He's just a mortal, and Poseidon is a powerful god. But he might also be curious. After all, he loves Percy, and Poseidon is Percy's father. So he could start asking questions about Percy's heritage and what it means for Percy's future.
