Family is also a big theme. Since Paul is in a relationship with Percy's mom, their bond is often about building a family - like connection. They learn to protect and care for each other as family members would.
One great Percy and Paul bonding fanfiction is 'Percy and Paul's Unlikely Friendship'. It beautifully shows how they gradually understand and support each other. For example, it has scenes where Paul helps Percy with his schoolwork and Percy in turn shows Paul the ropes of the demigod world.
In a 'Percy Meets Paul' fanfiction, Percy could be a demigod, like in the Percy Jackson series. He has powers related to the Greek gods. Paul, on the other hand, could be a normal human who is very intelligent and curious. Their meeting could be a chance encounter, like Percy accidentally stumbling into Paul's life while on a mission. Or Paul could be someone who has been unknowingly drawn into Percy's world of magic and mystery.
Percy is likely a character who has a lot of knowledge about the gods, perhaps he has had direct interactions with them. Paul, on the other hand, is someone who Percy is sharing this knowledge with, maybe he is new to the whole idea of the gods.
Well, the bonding between Percy and Triton in fanfiction often involves a lot of elements. One key aspect is their family ties. Since Percy is Poseidon's son and Triton is also related to Poseidon, there's a sort of family - based connection that can be explored. Sometimes, fanfictions show them bonding over shared adventures. For example, they might team up to face a powerful sea monster. Through these experiences, they learn to respect each other's abilities. Triton may come to admire Percy's courage and Percy might respect Triton's knowledge of the sea. Their bond could also be influenced by the politics within the underwater world, which adds more depth and complexity to their relationship.
Fanfictions may also depict their bonding in the context of quests. Poseidon could be subtly helping Percy from afar during his adventures. He might send sea creatures to assist Percy or give him signs in the form of ocean - related phenomena. This kind of silent support shows their connection, as Percy starts to trust that his father has his back, no matter what.
Friendship is a very common theme. Characters like Percy, Annabeth, and Grover often have their friendships deepened in these fanfictions. For example, they might have a big fight and then reconcile in a more profound way that strengthens their bond.
One common theme is the discovery of family. Percy often gets to know more about his father, Poseidon, and they bond over shared family traits and history.
Another reason is that in the original stories, their relationship has a lot of potential for development that wasn't fully explored. So fanfiction writers take the opportunity to dig deeper into their connection. They can create scenarios where Percy and Thalia become closer friends or even like family, which fills a gap for fans who want more of their relationship.
