It could also be a way to explore themes of self - esteem and acceptance. Percy may struggle with feeling less important or capable because of his size. Through his journey in the fanfiction, he could learn to accept himself and find new ways to contribute. And Annabeth could help him see that his value doesn't depend on his physical stature, strengthening their bond in the process.
It could be a symbol of vulnerability. Percy is often seen as the hero, but being smaller makes him seem more fragile. This can add depth to his character as he has to overcome not only the usual challenges but also the limitations of his new size. It also gives Annabeth a chance to be more of a protector, which is a role reversal that can be interesting to explore.
One scenario could be that Percy has some sort of magic spell cast on him that makes him smaller. Maybe a mischievous god or a powerful enemy uses a spell to shrink him for their own amusement or to gain an advantage in a battle. This would lead to some interesting situations where Annabeth has to protect him in a different way than usual.
It could be a place of refuge. In the often - dangerous world they live in, the stables might be a relatively safe haven where they can catch their breath.
Well, that could lead to a major shift in the story. Percy might be heartbroken and struggle to cope without her.
A popular one is 'Percy and Annabeth's New Quest'. In this fanfiction, the author takes the duo on a quest that wasn't in the original books. They have to solve ancient riddles and battle new mythical creatures. It stays true to the characters' personalities, making it a great read.
One possible fanfiction could be about Percy and Annabeth's struggle in Tartarus, where the darkness of that place starts to seep into their minds. Maybe Annabeth begins to have dark thoughts about using the power of Tartarus to defeat their enemies, and Percy has to pull her back from the brink. They face all kinds of terrifying monsters and challenges that test not only their physical strength but also their mental stability.
In fanfiction, their relationship is often portrayed as very strong and loving. Writers like to show how they support each other through tough times. For example, in some stories, when Percy is feeling down about his powers, Annabeth is there to cheer him up and remind him of his importance.
Another idea is a fanfiction set in a modern city where Percy and Annabeth have to blend in as normal teenagers but still deal with the occasional monster attack. It could focus on how they navigate their relationship while also trying to keep their demigod identities a secret from their new friends at school. This would add an interesting layer of drama and secrecy to their story.
It could lead to Percy going all out to protect her and show his determination.
It could lead to a major plot twist. Maybe Percy would be heartbroken and have to go on a solo adventure to find her or cope with the loss.
Perhaps Percy made a decision without consulting Annabeth. In many fanfictions, Annabeth values being part of the decision - making process, especially when it concerns their relationship or a mission they're on. If Percy went off and did something like made a deal with a potentially dangerous character on his own, Annabeth would be furious.
