It starts with their friendship at Camp Half - Blood. They were initially rivals, but as they worked together on quests, they got to know each other better. Percy's loyalty and Annabeth's intelligence complemented each other. As they grew older, they realized that they couldn't imagine their lives without the other, and that's when the idea of marriage started to form in their minds.
Percy and Annabeth's relationship develops over time as they learn to understand and accept each other's flaws. Percy's impulsiveness sometimes gets them into trouble, but Annabeth learns to work with it. Annabeth's over - planning can be a bit much for Percy, but he comes to appreciate it. This growth in their relationship, along with their shared experiences and love, paves the way for their marriage in fanfiction.
In fanfiction, their relationship might evolve in a more spiritual way. As they travel on the Argo 2, they could visit places that are significant to the gods. These experiences could make them understand each other on a deeper level. For example, they might visit a temple dedicated to Athena, and Annabeth could share her deepest feelings about her mother with Percy, and Percy would be more understanding of her connection to her divine heritage.
Their relationship often deepens through shared hardships. In Tartarus, they rely on each other completely. For example, when facing a particularly tough monster, they have to trust each other's instincts and abilities, which brings them closer.
Their relationship in the fanfiction could develop in a more mature way. College is a time of self - discovery, and they would be no exception. Percy might become more confident in his abilities and be more assertive in the relationship. Annabeth could become more empathetic towards Percy's insecurities. They could also start planning for their future together, like thinking about post - college life and how they can continue to fight for the good of the demigod world while also having a normal life. Maybe they even consider starting a demigod training program for future generations on their own.
In a forced marriage scenario for Percy and Annabeth, at first they might be resistant. But as they start to communicate, they could discover new sides of each other. Percy might show his loyalty in a different way, and Annabeth her wisdom in dealing with the difficult situation. Eventually, they could turn the forced situation into a loving relationship based on mutual understanding.
Their relationship might develop through more in - depth conversations. Since they are engaged, they start talking about their future, like where they want to live. Maybe Percy wants to live near the ocean and Annabeth has other ideas, and they have to compromise.
It could become stronger as they support each other through college life. They'd study together, share notes, and encourage one another during exams.
It can develop through this moment of closeness. Just the act of her sleeping on him can show a level of trust, which Percy might recognize and it deepens their bond.
In this type of fanfic, the relationship might develop when Percy is put in a situation where he has to pretend to be Annabeth's boyfriend for some reason. As they play the part, Percy starts to notice little things about Annabeth, like the way she smiles when she's truly happy or how she gets excited about architecture. These small observations could start to chip away at his obliviousness and make him question his own feelings. Meanwhile, Annabeth hopes that this pretend relationship might turn into a real one, and as they go through different scenarios together, their relationship could grow from a one - sided love with Percy being oblivious to a mutual, deep - rooted love.
Percy might develop more of a steely determination. In Tartarus, he has to face extreme danger, which could make him even more resolute in protecting Annabeth and getting out. Annabeth, on the other hand, could become more resourceful. She'd have to use her wits in this strange and deadly place.
Sally would likely become a mother figure to Annabeth. She would offer her advice and support, just as she does for Percy. Percy and Annabeth's relationship would become more domestic. They'd have more time to just be together, sharing small moments like having breakfast together in the morning. Their bond would strengthen as they face the normal day - to - day challenges of living together, along with Sally.
