Another theme is the exploration of their relationship. Even when they are against each other, their underlying friendship or potential romantic relationship is often a part of the story. It could be about how they overcome their differences and grow closer through the conflict.
One great Percy vs Annabeth fanfic is 'The Rivalry Renewed'. It really dives into their competitive sides while still maintaining the essence of their friendship. The author does a wonderful job of creating intense scenarios where they compete in various challenges within the Camp Half - Blood setting.
Percy might be a bit flustered and embarrassed. He's protective of his relationship with Annabeth, so having Magnus walk in might make him feel like their privacy has been invaded. He could quickly try to shield Annabeth or just look really shocked.
Their shared experiences play a big role. They've been through so much together, like countless battles and adventures. Percy has seen Annabeth in tough situations and he knows how strong she is, but also how vulnerable. So he feels the need to protect her. For instance, they might have had a close call in a previous adventure where Annabeth was nearly killed, and that memory makes Percy extra vigilant.
Their relationship is likely to be complex. They are friends and comrades who have fought side by side many times. So, there's a strong bond of loyalty between them.
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.
Aphrodite could also be one of the spying gods. Since she loves meddling in love affairs, and Percy and Annabeth's relationship is quite famous among the demigods. She might be spying to see how their relationship develops and perhaps add a little nudge here and there if she feels like it.
In this kind of fanfiction, they might have an adventure together. Maybe they'll face a new monster that they haven't encountered before. For example, a mythical creature from a less - known part of Greek mythology.
They might become more protective. Since they are dreaming of having a daughter, they would start to think about all the potential dangers she could face. Their relationship could grow deeper as they bond over their shared hopes and fears for their future child.
