aeron + another royal / political figure plot idea:
they were set up by their parents when they were younger. maybe it was a romance thing, maybe it was just platonic. either way, the two have a friendship now in a way that culminates in aeron sending ym random voice memos. they bounce speech ideas off each other. they're a shoulder to lean on whenever the pressure of being a public figure gets too much.
whether aeron is still a demigod for this connection can be decided on a case by case basis.
thread ideas for this plot:
bouncing from a gala.
binging food their parents wouldn't let them.
"oh shit the press caught us hugging & now everyone thinks we're dating (we're not)."
"oh shit the press caught us hugging & now everyone thinks we're dating (we are, but we hadn't planned on telling)."
likes poesidon kids more than zeus kids. blame percy. aeron loves not being the center of attention while at camp & percy takes all of that attention.
during the summer of heroes of olympus, with jason taking the attention, aeron favored cabin one kids.
it's all about perspective.
is willing to help his "cousins" more frequently than other campers. he's not who they should be going to for help (aeron was raised in a palace; he will not provide quality help), but he is willing to provide it if asked more willingly.
gets snippy with them.
is not immune to the trap of thinking he's better than them just because of his royal heritage.
is insecure about his godly heritage. he's not going to tell every camper who his dad is. 1) because he's this way with everyone, he has a public image to keep up—can't let people know the crown princess had an affair long after she had married. 2) because hades was known for being the only one to keep the big3's promise, aeron doesn't want to be the one to reveal he broke it as well.

unclean weapons.
boring meetings.
What’s their opinion on pineapple on pizza?
aeron had no opinion until someone on twitter asked and he got caught up in a tweet storm when both sides gave evidence to join their side. he trended for a few hours. by the end, he heard out the evidence, tried a slice, and decided that it “wasn’t the worst thing i could have put in my mouth. 3/10.”

his precious metal summoning works on common metals and they don’t carry curses, but he has to pray to hades beforehand as pluto is the more metal-y version of hades. and his shadow travel works like shadow travel: teleportation through shadows & exhaustion afterwards. the general demigod abilities of super: strength, agility, speed, & healing are always on.

How long would they last in a zombie apocalypse?
long enough thanks to already being used to avoiding people and having combat experience, but not to the end. aeron would probably die of a betrayal somewhere in the final act, just before reaching the cure.
