Hermes might start as a mischievous and curious child. Since Percy is his father, he could inherit some of Percy's determination. As the story progresses, he could learn about loyalty from Percy, especially when dealing with other gods who might not have his best interests at heart.
One interesting aspect could be how their different personalities interact. Percy is often portrayed as brave and impulsive, while Hermes is cunning and quick - witted. In fanfiction, their love might involve a lot of banter and challenges as they try to understand each other on a deeper level.
Well, in some fanfictions, Hermes might be possessive of Percy because Percy could possess certain qualities or powers that Hermes wants to control or have an influence over. Maybe Percy has a unique connection to the world of the gods that Hermes sees as valuable.
One reason is the allure of combining different character traits. Percy's heroism and Hermes' trickery can create a very dynamic and interesting relationship in fanfiction. Also, it might be a way for fans to fill in the gaps in the original stories. If they feel there could be more to the relationship between these two characters, fanfiction allows them to explore that.
Hermes' possessiveness can be shown by his over - protectiveness. He may interfere when other gods or creatures try to harm Percy. In some fanfictions, he might even go as far as to isolate Percy from other demigods or gods to have Percy all to himself. He could also be very jealous if Percy spends time with other powerful beings and show his possessiveness through angry outbursts or manipulative actions.
One common theme is mentorship. Since Hermes is an older god and Percy is a young demigod, often fanfictions explore Hermes taking Percy under his wing in some way.
In some fanfictions, Hermes interacts with Percy as a mentor. He might offer advice on how to deal with other gods or mythical creatures. For example, he could tell Percy the weaknesses of a particular monster. In other stories, he may be more of an enigma, his actions and words being hard to decipher. Sometimes, Hermes and Percy form an alliance, like when they have to face a common threat together.
The main characters are Percy and Hermes. Percy, with his Poseidon - given powers like controlling water and communicating with sea creatures, is a key figure. Hermes, on the other hand, with his many domains including speed, thievery, and communication, adds a different flavor to the story. Their relationship, which can range from friendly rivalry to begrudging respect in the fanfiction, is what drives most of the plots.
The theme of trickery also pops up a lot. Given Hermes' nature, there are often elements of trickery and deception in the fanfiction. This could be Hermes playing a trick on Percy or Percy using Hermes - like tactics to outwit his enemies. It makes for some exciting plot twists and keeps the readers on their toes.
One possible plot could be Percy's journey in raising Hermes. He might face challenges in teaching Hermes the ways of the gods, like how to use his powers responsibly. For example, Hermes' speed could get him into trouble, and Percy would have to guide him on when to use it and when not to.
