Some fanfictions show that after Tartarus, Annabeth and Percy take a break from all the chaos. They go on a journey to find peace, perhaps to a place that has no connection to the demigod world. They just want to be normal for a while, enjoying simple things like watching the sunset and having picnics, away from all the danger and responsibilities.
In some fanfictions, Annabeth and Percy might struggle with PTSD. They could have nightmares about their time in Tartarus. Percy might be overly protective of Annabeth, and they may need time to heal their emotional wounds together.
In this fanfic, they might face terrifying monsters. Tartarus is full of dangerous creatures, so they could be constantly fighting for their lives, like battling against ancient Titans or monstrous beasts that are native to that hellish place.
Perhaps they go on a quest to find a way to close the gates of Tartarus permanently. This would involve traveling to different places, facing new monsters, and using their combined knowledge and skills. Along the way, their bond would be tested, and they'd have to rely on each other more than ever, making their relationship even deeper.
In fanfiction, after Tartarus, Percy and Annabeth could be on a journey of self - discovery together. They've seen the darkest parts of themselves and each other in Tartarus. So they might be exploring who they are now, how they've changed, and how their relationship has evolved as a result. Maybe they take some time away from the chaos of their demigod duties to really understand their feelings for each other.
One possibility is that they encounter other lost souls in Tartarus. These could be the souls of ancient heroes or villains. Interacting with these souls could either help them or put them in more danger. For example, some souls might offer them advice on how to navigate the treacherous terrain of Tartarus, while others might try to deceive them into making wrong decisions. And they would surely be tested both physically and mentally. The harsh environment of Tartarus would push their limits, and they would have to overcome their inner fears and doubts to have any chance of escaping.
One possible storyline could be them dealing with PTSD. Percy might have nightmares about the horrors in Tartarus, and Annabeth could struggle with sudden bouts of anxiety in seemingly safe situations. They would have to support each other through these tough times, learning to communicate better about their feelings.
Well, they would probably communicate better. In Tartarus, they had to rely on clear communication to survive. So, back in the normal world, this would carry over. They'd be more open about their feelings, fears, and plans, which would strengthen their relationship in a more emotional way.
Often, their relationship is shown as deeper and more unbreakable. They've been through Tartarus together, which is like the ultimate test. So in fanfiction, they trust each other completely and are always there for one another.
The plot could involve them losing their way in Tartarus, both literally and metaphorically. They get separated from their usual support systems and have to rely solely on each other. As they journey deeper, the darkness starts to change them. For example, Annabeth might become more aggressive in her decision - making, which is a departure from her normal self. Percy struggles to keep up with this new side of her while also fighting off the demons of Tartarus.
They might talk about the terrifying creatures they faced in Tartarus. For example, they could discuss the giant scorpions or the monstrous demons that lurked in the dark. This would add to the sense of danger and adventure in the fanfiction.
He might face numerous terrifying monsters. Tartarus is full of dangerous creatures, and without his friends, Percy would have to rely solely on his own skills and the power of his demigod abilities to fight them off.
