Peter might also change his daily routine to avoid running into certain people. He could choose different places to hang out or different times to be out and about.
He could start by reducing his communication. For example, not answering calls or texts from other characters as often.
Another way is that he could be more reserved when he is around others. Instead of being his usual open self, he becomes quiet and less involved in conversations and group activities in the fanfiction.
Perhaps there is a misunderstanding. In the fanfiction, other characters might have misinterpreted Peter's actions or words, and this has led to an uncomfortable situation for him. As a result, he chooses to distance himself to avoid further conflict.
In some fanfictions, Naruto might distance himself because he discovers some dark secrets about the ninja world or his own past. These revelations could shock him so much that he needs time alone to process and figure out how to deal with them.
There are also fanfictions where his attempt is not successful, but it has consequences. He might end up in a hospital, and then have to deal with the fallout of his actions. People around him might be angry, sad, or confused, and he has to face their reactions while also trying to figure out how to move forward and get better.
One way is through internal monologues. Peter can have long internal conversations with himself, debating where to go on the 'date', what to wear, etc. This would show his different aspects interacting.
In many Naruto fanfictions, Naruto might push himself by over - training. He could be constantly trying to master new jutsus at a faster pace. For example, he might practice a new Rasengan variation until he's completely exhausted, not giving himself a break. He may also push himself in terms of physical endurance, like running long distances with heavy weights.
Well, his friends could find out. For example, Ned or MJ might stumble upon him in a vulnerable state. This would then lead to a deepening of their relationships as they try to help him. They could encourage him to seek professional help or just be there for him emotionally.
Peter could sacrifice himself to stop a deadly virus from spreading. He might be a scientist who discovers that his own body can be used to create a cure, but it will cost him his life. So, he decides to go ahead with it to save the world.
Another theme could be pain and endurance. Stitching oneself is a painful process, so the fanfiction might explore how Peter endures this pain and what it says about his character. It could also show his determination to keep going despite the injury. Usually, in these stories, there's also a sense of secrecy or isolation, as he might be stitching himself up alone, away from others for some reason.
Well, in certain fanfiction stories, Naruto realizes that he has to depend solely on his inner strength. So, he delves deep into his own chakra reserves and tries to understand and control it better. He could also study old scrolls by himself, learning forgotten techniques and using his own determination and willpower to adapt them to his fighting style, which gradually makes him stronger on his own.
In some fanfictions, Percy might use his water - controlling abilities in unique ways. He could manipulate the rivers of Tartarus, like the Phlegethon, to create distractions or even use the power of the water to propel himself out. Maybe he also forms alliances with some minor creatures in Tartarus that are not as hostile as the main threats and they help him find a hidden passage.
