One common trope is the outcast status. Since Hera is not the most liked among the gods in the Percy Jackson universe, her son is often made an outcast among the demigods. Another is the special powers. He might have some unique abilities related to Hera's domain, like control over family bonds or something similar.
A lot of these fanfics play with the trope of a hidden heritage. The son of Hera might not know about his true parentage at first and then discovers it in a dramatic way. Also, there's the trope of having to prove himself. Because of his connection to Hera, he has to constantly show that he's not like his mother in the negative ways people perceive her.
In many of these fanfictions, there's a trope of an uneasy alliance. The son of Hera has to form alliances with the other demigods who are initially skeptical of him. For example, in some stories, he has to work with the children of Zeus, which is quite difficult considering the enmity between Zeus and Hera. This creates a lot of tension and interesting plotlines.
Well, family drama is a big one. With Hera and Hades as his parents, there would be a lot of tension. Hera is often seen as a difficult goddess, and Hades has his own dark domain. Percy would have to deal with their different natures. Also, themes of acceptance among the demigods and gods would be common, as his new identity might not be easily accepted.
One great Percy Jackson OC son of Hera fanfiction is 'The Hera - Bound Hero'. It has an interesting take on how a son of Hera would interact with the existing demigods. The story is full of action and the character development is really well - done.
One common theme is power struggles. Since Hera is a powerful goddess and Percy has his own unique powers, there are often stories about who has more power or how they balance their powers when working together. Another theme is redemption. Some fanfictions explore whether Hera can redeem herself in Percy's eyes after all the things she has done in the original mythology.
One common theme is identity. Percy has to re - define who he is as Hera's adopted son. Another theme is family. He has to navigate his new family relationship with Hera and how that affects his relationship with his old friends and family. Power is also a theme. With his new connection to Hera, he may gain new powers or face challenges related to power struggles among the gods.
One possible plot could be Percy discovering his new parentage of being the son of Zeus and Hera. He might struggle with the new identity as it goes against what he previously knew. For example, he could face challenges from the other demigods who are suspicious or jealous of his new status. He then has to prove himself worthy of this new heritage while also dealing with the complex politics among the gods.
One common theme is self - discovery. Since the OC is a son of Hephaestus, they often have to figure out their unique powers and how to use them. Another theme is acceptance, both within the Hephaestus cabin and among the other demigods at Camp Half - Blood.
Common themes include acceptance. The OC has to find a way to be accepted by the other demigods who may be wary of him because of his father. Redemption is another theme sometimes. Maybe the OC has made mistakes or has been associated with 'evil' because of Hades, and they strive to prove themselves. And the theme of fate also pops up often. They wonder if their destiny is set because of being the son of Hades or if they can change it.
Another theme is the exploration of forbidden love. Hera is a married goddess in the original mythology, so a relationship with Percy would be considered taboo. Fanfictions often play with this idea, creating a sense of danger and excitement. The lemon aspect usually comes in to heighten the emotional and physical connection between them within this forbidden context.
One common theme is redemption. Hera has made some not - so - great decisions in the original stories, and in fanfiction, her relationship with Percy can be a way for her to redeem herself. For example, she might help Percy in a way that shows she's changing for the better.
Often, she is strong - willed. As the daughter of Hera, she has a sense of pride and determination. She may be very protective of family, which could extend to the demigods she befriends. In many fanfics, she also has a certain grace about her, almost regal, similar to how Hera is often depicted.
