In fanfiction where mortals find out Percy is a demigod, how do Percy's friends react to the mortals' discovery?

One interesting plot development could be that the mortals either try to use Percy's demigod status for their own gain, like getting him to solve their problems. For example, they might ask him to find lost treasures thinking his powers would make it easy. Another could be that the mortals are initially in disbelief and Percy has to constantly prove himself, which leads to some comical situations as he shows off his abilities in modern day settings. And some might fear him and try to drive him out of town, creating a conflict for Percy to deal with.

In fanfiction, mortals might react with shock. They may be curious about how Percy got those scars. Some might be sympathetic, while others could be fearful, thinking Percy has been through some really dangerous situations.

They interact cautiously. Since they are demigods and their world is full of secrets, they don't want to expose themselves. Percy might be a bit more laid - back in his interactions, cracking jokes with mortals while still being vigilant. Annabeth, on the other hand, is more calculating. She'll study the mortals first to see if they can be trusted.

In some fanfictions, mortals might see Percy's scars as marks of a troubled past. They could be curious about how he got them, but Percy would likely be cautious about revealing the truth, which often involves his demigod adventures and battles. For example, a mortal might notice a long, thin scar on his arm and assume it was from a fight, not realizing it was from a monster encounter.

The Olympians' reactions would be quite diverse. Some might be angry that one of their heroes, a son of a major god like Percy, has been reduced to homelessness. Zeus could be one of those who is initially angry, thinking it's a sign of disorder in the world he rules. However, as they start to understand the reasons behind Percy's homelessness, they would probably soften. Hermes, being the messenger god, might be the first to actually go and talk to Percy, trying to find out exactly what he needs. And Aphrodite, with her soft heart for love and beauty, might be among the first to offer him a place to stay, perhaps in one of her many beautiful abodes.

The others in the seven, like Jason, would probably feel a sense of guilt for not noticing earlier. They would come together as a group to support Percy. Jason might offer his friendship and strength to Percy, telling him he doesn't have to face it alone anymore. They would also likely start to investigate who was responsible for the abuse.

They might be shocked at first. They probably didn't expect Percy, who is usually so strong and brave, to be dealing with depression.

Maybe they misunderstand his character. In some fanfictions, the writer might not portray him accurately, leading to this perception. Also, if the fanfiction takes Percy in a very different direction from the original source, mortals who are used to the 'canon' Percy might think he's bad.

Well, it's quite possible. Consider that mortals often enjoy delving deeper into fictional universes they love through fanfiction. For Percy Jackson, it's a rich world full of interesting characters and stories. As for demigods, if we think about it in a fun, fictional sense, they could be curious about how mortals imagine their lives and relationships. Fanfiction offers a platform for exploring new ideas that might not be in the original books, so both mortals and, hypothetically, demigods could be drawn to it.

Yes, mortals do read Percy Jackson fanfiction. Fanfiction offers a unique and often creative take on the Percy Jackson universe. It allows readers to explore different scenarios, relationships, and adventures that might not be part of the original books. Many people, whether they are die - hard fans of the series or just casual readers, are drawn to fanfiction for its fresh perspectives and the ability to see the characters in new lights.
