In some fanfictions, their relationship could become more complex. They might have seen sides of each other in Tartarus that they didn't expect, and it could cause some friction. But at the same time, they also have this unbreakable connection because of what they've been through. They might argue more about how to deal with the after - effects of Tartarus, like Percy wanting to just forget and move on while Annabeth wants to analyze and learn from it. However, in the end, they still love each other deeply.
Well, they would probably communicate better. In Tartarus, they had to rely on clear communication to survive. So, back in the normal world, this would carry over. They'd be more open about their feelings, fears, and plans, which would strengthen their relationship in a more emotional way.
Well, it completely shatters their trust. Percy would be devastated and feel extremely betrayed. He would question all their past interactions and wonder if Annabeth ever really cared about him.
At first, it might become strained. Annabeth could be hurt and pull away from Percy. She might not want to be around him as much.
In fanfiction, after Tartarus, Percy and Annabeth could be on a journey of self - discovery together. They've seen the darkest parts of themselves and each other in Tartarus. So they might be exploring who they are now, how they've changed, and how their relationship has evolved as a result. Maybe they take some time away from the chaos of their demigod duties to really understand their feelings for each other.
When Annabeth is mad, Percy will likely try to make it up to her. He might start doing all kinds of things like bringing her favorite foods, trying to help her with her projects. But Annabeth might not be so easily swayed. She'll be looking for a real apology and for Percy to show that he's learned his lesson. So the relationship becomes a bit of a power struggle, with Percy trying to regain her favor and Annabeth deciding whether he's worthy of it.
Often, their relationship is shown as deeper and more unbreakable. They've been through Tartarus together, which is like the ultimate test. So in fanfiction, they trust each other completely and are always there for one another.
Their relationship could become more intense. The hickeys might be a sign that they are moving to a more physical and passionate stage. Percy might become more protective of Annabeth as well, seeing how she's so openly showing her affection in this way.
By showing them relying on each other's strengths more. For instance, Percy's water - related powers could be used in unique ways to protect Annabeth from the hellish fires of Tartarus, while Annabeth's strategic mind could help them navigate the complex and ever - changing landscape.
The relationship will likely grow stronger. They'll have to rely on each other more for daily tasks and support. For example, if Percy has a bad day at work or school, Annabeth will be there to comfort him right away, and vice versa. However, it could also be a bit strained at times. There might be moments when they feel suffocated by each other's presence, but they'll have to work through those feelings to keep their relationship healthy.
It might become strained at first. Percy could be hurt by Annabeth's yelling and withdraw a bit. He might feel like he can't do anything right in her eyes. However, it could also lead to better communication in the long run. For instance, if Percy realizes why Annabeth was so angry, he might be more careful in the future, and they could grow closer as a result of this conflict.
