The bond could be portrayed uniquely by having them communicate through dreams. Every time Percy dreams, he enters a special underwater realm where he can talk to Poseidon. They discuss things like the future of the sea, Percy's relationships with other demigods, and how to maintain peace between the gods and mortals. Through these dream conversations, their bond becomes something very special and different from normal father - son relationships in fanfiction.
Their relationship could be shown as a sort of mentorship. Poseidon, as the all - powerful god of the sea, could be teaching Percy the more subtle and complex aspects of his powers. For example, how to control the tides in a way that is not just about brute force but also about finesse. This would make their relationship more than just a father - son bond but also one of teacher and student.
The relationship could be shown as a curious one. Since Percy is a baby, he might not fully understand who Poseidon is, but there could be an instinctual bond. Poseidon, on the other hand, could be filled with a sense of wonder at this small version of his son, seeing all the potential in him. He might try to communicate with Percy in gentle, non - verbal ways, like sending small ripples of water to make Percy laugh.
The relationship can also be shown as very loving. Poseidon might secretly watch over Percy and be proud of his son's achievements. He could send signs of his support during Percy's battles or quests. And Percy, in turn, is always eager to make his father proud and show that he is a worthy son of Poseidon.
Nemesis can be shown as having a sense of humor in a twisted way. For instance, when she sets up a trap for Percy, she could leave little hints that are actually funny riddles. This would make her seem less like a one - dimensional villain. Another way is to show her having a soft spot for certain things, like she might love a particular type of flower that only grows in the Underworld.
One unique way is to give them a shared hobby. Let's say they both love to paint. Hades paints the dark and gloomy landscapes of the Underworld, and Persephone paints the vibrant and colorful scenes of the mortal world. Through their art, they understand each other better. Also, you could show their relationship as a bit of a role - reversal. Maybe Persephone is the more assertive one in the relationship, and Hades is the one who is a bit shy and reserved. And for a more complex portrayal, you could make their relationship a bit of a mystery to each other. They keep secrets from each other, not out of malice, but because they are afraid of how the other will react, and as they gradually uncover these secrets, their relationship deepens.
Another way is to portray it as a complex relationship filled with envy. Poseidon might envy Zeus's position as the king of the gods, while Zeus could be envious of Poseidon's power over the vast oceans. This envy could lead to various power struggles and tense moments between them in the fanfiction.
Fem Percy is often portrayed as having different emotional responses. For example, while male Percy might react with anger or impulsiveness in a situation, Fem Percy could be more likely to show fear or vulnerability at first. Also, in terms of her powers, she might use them in a more graceful or aesthetically pleasing way compared to male Percy's more brute - force approach. For instance, when creating water barriers, male Percy might just slam up a big, rough - looking wall of water, while Fem Percy could create a beautiful, swirling pattern of water that is both functional and beautiful.
In some fanfictions, the marriage bond is shown as a way to strengthen their magical abilities. When they perform spells together, the bond enables them to do so more powerfully. It's like their magic becomes intertwined because of their marriage. This can be really interesting as it shows a new aspect of their relationship that wasn't fully explored in the original books.
In fanfiction, their relationship could be developed by having Poseidon be more involved in Percy's daily life. Instead of just popping in during big events, he could be there for the small things too. For instance, helping Percy with his schoolwork that involves marine biology. They could also have a project together like building a new safe haven for sea nymphs. Through this, they would bond over creating something positive. Also, Percy could start to take on some of Poseidon's responsibilities in the ocean, with Poseidon guiding him. This would not only strengthen their bond but also show Percy growing into his role as Poseidon's son.
One way to portray it uniquely is by having Annabeth's love for Luke be based on a shared interest in art in the mortal AU. Maybe Luke is an aspiring painter and Annabeth is drawn to his creativity. Another unique portrayal could be that Luke has a secret musical talent and Annabeth falls for him when she discovers it during a local talent show. Or, in this AU, they could be partners in a community service project and through helping others, Annabeth realizes her love for Luke.
