A theme of growth is also present. Through his mother's death, Percy has to grow up faster and become more independent. He has to make decisions on his own without his mother's guidance. Also, the theme of family is redefined. With his mother gone, Percy's concept of family expands to include his friends at Camp Half - Blood more deeply.
There can be a theme of discovery as well. In the wake of his mother's death, Percy might discover new powers or aspects of himself. He may also discover more about the world of the gods and monsters, as he's forced to navigate it without his mother's protection.
Well, in some fanfictions, Percy might go on a dark and brooding path. He could isolate himself from his friends at Camp Half - Blood, feeling like he's alone in the world now that his mother is gone. He might throw himself into more dangerous quests, almost with a sense of self - destruction, believing that he has nothing left to lose.
There are also fanfictions where Percy's mother's death causes him to question his whole existence. He wonders why the gods let such a thing happen to a good person like his mother. This internal struggle could lead him to have some tense interactions with the gods. He might even consider rebelling against them in some way, feeling that they are partly responsible for his mother's death.
Morality is also a big theme. The power of the primordial of death can be used for good or evil. So, the fanfictions often show characters struggling with the moral implications of using or being associated with such a powerful and potentially dangerous force. For example, a character may have to decide whether to use the power of death to save their friends but at the cost of innocent lives.
Another theme is the power of friendship. His friends' loyalty and love are usually what drive the resurrection. They might use their combined powers or their knowledge to find a way to bring Percy back. It shows that in the Percy Jackson universe, friendship is a powerful force that can even overcome death. It's like in the original series where they all rely on each other so much. In these fanfics, that bond is further explored in the context of death and resurrection.
One common plot twist is that Percy discovers his mother isn't really dead. Maybe she was taken by a powerful being and is being held captive in some hidden realm. Percy then embarks on a secret quest to rescue her, which could involve making deals with some very dangerous entities.
Love and relationships are quite prevalent in Percy Jackson fanfiction as well. This can range from Percy's romantic relationships, like his relationship with Annabeth, to more platonic relationships with his friends. There's also the theme of discovery, both self - discovery and discovery of new places or secrets in the mythological realm. Some fanfictions focus on Percy learning more about his own abilities or finding out hidden aspects of the gods' powers. Another common theme is the struggle between good and evil. Authors often create new villains or expand on existing ones, and show how Percy and his friends fight against the forces of evil.
One common theme is adventure. Just like in the original books, the fanfictions often send the characters on new quests. Another theme is friendship, as Percy and his friends' relationships are further explored. For instance, how they support each other during tough times.
Another theme is the mystery of Sally's past. Since she has some connection to the demigod world, fanfictions often explore what she might have been through before Percy was born. This could include her own encounters with gods or other demigods, which adds depth to her character.
Another common opponent could be other demigods from different cabins. For instance, a child of Ares who might have a more aggressive and straightforward fighting style compared to Percy. This would create an interesting dynamic as they have different powers and personalities but are still on the same side in the general scheme of things.
One common theme is the struggle against chaos. Since the cataclyst brings a lot of disorder, the characters often have to fight to restore some sort of balance. For example, in many fanfictions, Percy has to lead the demigods in battles against the strange and powerful forces unleashed by the cataclyst.
