In some fanfictions, it might be a plot device to create drama and tension. The author may want to explore how Percy and their child will cope without Annabeth, or how she will come to terms with her decision later. It could also be related to some hidden secrets or past traumas that resurface and make Annabeth believe she's not a fit mother or partner.
On an emotional level, it can engage the readers more deeply. They will be curious to see how the characters heal or if they can reconcile. It can also change the overall tone of the fanfiction. If it was a light - hearted story before, this event can turn it into a more serious and emotional one, exploring themes like loss, love, and family in a different way.
This is a very disturbing and unethical concept. In the Percy Jackson series, Annabeth and Percy are friends and equals. Turning one into the other's slave in fanfiction goes against the positive values of friendship, respect and equality that the original work promotes.
They could have an honest conversation. Just sit down and talk about their feelings and misunderstandings. This simple act can clear the air and resolve the hatred.
One common theme is the discovery of identity. Percy's child often has to figure out who they are in relation to their famous parent. Another theme is the inheritance of powers or abilities. Usually, they inherit some of Percy's powers and have to learn how to control them.
One possible reason could be jealousy. Maybe Percy gets more attention or recognition in their fictional world that makes Annabeth envious and thus appear to hate him.
In some fanfictions, the world - building or the plot might force a rift between them. If the story is set in a situation where resources are scarce and they have different ways of handling it. Hermione's more logical and rule - based approach might clash with Annabeth's more instinct - based approach, leading to Hermione hating her.
There is a 'percys child fanfiction' called 'Percy's Heir'. In this story, the child of Percy faces many challenges that are both internal and external. It's really interesting to see how they inherit some of Percy's traits while also developing their own unique personality. It also has some great action scenes.
A better rewrite could be a story of them working side by side on a big project. Maybe they are building a new safe haven for demigods. Annabeth is in charge of the design and Percy uses his powers to gather the necessary resources. They are partners, not master and slave, and their individual strengths contribute to the success of the common goal.
It's Annabeth and Percy. Their relationship is being highlighted through this physical closeness. They may have different personalities and backstories within the original story that the fanfic is based on, and this moment of Annabeth sitting on Percy's lap can bring out different aspects of their relationship, like their protectiveness of each other or their mutual understanding.
