People like it because it's a different take on the relationships in the Percy Jackson universe. It offers a new pairing that brings out different aspects of the characters. Percy and Reyna are both strong characters, and seeing them in a romantic moment adds an interesting layer to their personalities.
One popular one might be 'A Moment of Clarity' where their kiss is a culmination of a long - standing mutual respect and unexpected attraction that develops during a dangerous quest. The story builds up their relationship really well before that moment.
In a fanfiction, their friendship could start with a simple act of kindness. Percy could save Reyna from a minor accident. Reyna, being grateful, starts to see Percy in a different light. They begin to have small conversations, getting to know each other's likes and dislikes. Over time, they realize they have more in common than they thought. They support each other in their personal goals, like Percy helping Reyna with a project for the Roman camp and Reyna helping Percy with his relationships at Camp Half - Blood. This mutual support cements their friendship.
In 'Percy and Reyna: A New Bond', the author explores what would happen if Percy and Reyna were forced to work together on a long - term project in Camp Jupiter. This fanfiction delves deep into their personalities and how they overcome their differences. For example, Percy's laid - back nature clashes with Reyna's strict leadership style at first, but as the story progresses, they find common ground and form a strong bond that is both heartwarming and exciting to read about.
In fanfiction, the idea of Percy Jackson and Reyna being siblings is a concept that some writers like to play with. It can add an interesting twist to the story. Maybe they create a backstory where they are siblings separated at birth or something similar. But remember, this is just in the realm of fan - created stories and not part of the original mythology or the main series. Fanfiction gives fans the chance to explore relationships in new and unexpected ways.
Percy might feel a deep sense of hurt. He values friendship highly, and this betrayal would make him question who he can trust. He could become more guarded and less likely to trust new people easily. Reyna would be more focused on the bigger picture. She would see the betrayal as a threat not just to herself but to the stability of the demigod world. So she would start gathering her allies, those who still believe in her, and form a strategy to counter the false accusations and the forces behind the betrayal. She would be determined to prove that she and Percy are not the traitors they are made out to be.
Jason is another good choice. He has a history with both Percy and Reyna. His leadership skills and his connection to the Roman side of the demigod world could bring in new plotlines. For example, he could help Percy and Reyna understand some of the more complex Roman demigod politics that they need to navigate.
Among certain groups of Percy Jackson fans, this type of fanfiction can be fairly popular. Those who like to explore different relationship dynamics and are open to non - canonical pairings might be drawn to it. They enjoy imagining different scenarios for the characters. But it's not as mainstream as the fanfiction that sticks closer to the main storylines and relationships presented in the books. There are also fans who might not approve of such pairings and so it doesn't have universal popularity.
Yes, there are quite a few. You can find some on fanfiction.net. Some of them are really well - written, exploring their relationship in different and interesting ways.
One idea could be that Percy is under a spell or some kind of mind control when he kidnaps Reyna. Maybe a new villain has emerged and is using Percy as a tool. In the fanfiction, Percy might be fighting against this internal force while Reyna is trying to figure out how to break the spell on him.
