Okay so I saw this post by Percabeth4life, so I was wondering, if you’re still doing the relationship headcanons thing, Percy/Titans?
Sigh. This is my punishment. /j
For reference, this is the post they’re referring to from the lovely @percabeth4life where she examines the relationship dynamics of Percy/all the male Titans. TLDR, a very unhealthy relationship in general, though I think anyone writing it would be well aware of that.
Nevertheless, I’ll give some headcanons because I really do think it would be interesting. Note that this is assuming Percy with the male Titans, since that’s what Life’s was. Also, while there will be similarities in our interpretations, there are also differences.
Their wives are all well aware of this relationship and are generally the kindest ones to Percy. They’re the ones who will steal him away under the guise of fashion or the like in order to give him a moment of rest and the ability to let his guard down for a moment. Thetys is the most helpful in this regard, she’ll take him to areas of freshwater where her husband has little control and allow him to soak. It isn’t as good as saltwater, but it still helps.
They would all be incredibly controlling and demanding for Percy’s time. Kronos would get the most, seeing as he’s the king of the Titans, however that also means he’s busy and during those times Percy is taken by one of the other siblings.
Speaking of Kronos, with him Percy takes the role of some form of servant, most likely a cupbearer (a la Ganymede) so that Kronos can have him around as often as possible.
Kronos can be kind to him at times. If Percy obeys, Kronos is the type to have him sit on his lap and feed him or otherwise spoil him. However, Percy does not really have a choice in any of it.
This applies for all of the Titans. Everything is dubious consent at most. I cannot think of a way that Percy would have any sort of power in this relationship, much less be able to fully consent. However, that is the most I will say on that.
After Kronos, Okeanus/Oceanus would probably get the most time with Percy. This is because he is the King of the Seas and Percy is of the sea by nature of being a son of Poseidon. He would be far kinder than Kronos. Kronos would likely force Percy to sleep in the same room as him, however Okeanus would likely permit him his own (albeit heavily monitored) room.
As previously mentioned, Thetys steals Percy away frequently. She teaches him more about the culture of the ocean that Poseidon clearly forgot to teach him. Its his main respite and he becomes dedicated in learning the history. Ocean magic is also the only thing even slightly similar to combat he is allowed.
Despite being the nicest of the Titans to Percy, Okeanus still had a tendency of disrespecting his wishes when it comes to physical affection. He had bouts where he will just grab Percy and kiss all over his face, even when he doesn’t want it.
Of the siblings, the Titans of the four cardinal directions are best at sharing among each other, although they still don’t like sharing with Kronos, Okeanus, and Atlas. Since they get the least amount of time with Percy, they tend to spend it sharing him among each other.
Hyperion was actually the meanest to Percy at first, locking him into small spaces as revenge for being encased in a tree. However, he also softened to him the quickest and tends to spoil him with jewelry just as he would Theia, who finds it amusing.
Of course, he tends to expect Percy to wear nothing but that jewelry when with him.
Iapetus likes to watch Percy interact with his siblings and will rarely pull him away. However, when he does he demands to be the only person to have his attention for the hours he has him.
He finds amusement in making Percy do things for him, such as fetching anything he wants, but also dancing and singing.
He’s also the quickest to hurt him for doing anything wrong. Percy learns that if he is to have any disobedience, it shouldn’t be with Iapetus. He has an extremely short fuse and often Percy has at least a few bruises when he is passed to the next sibling.
Koios and Krios are fond of having Percy together. The cardinals are best at sharing, however within them these two will always have Percy together. They’re also the easiest for Percy to persuade to have a moment alone, though that moment is always just a moment.
Atlas actually knows Percy the best of all the Titans with the exception of Kronos.
While he’s an asshole, all of them are, he would also be the most likely of the male Titans to take Percy’s side in any way.
They also spend the least amount of time together doing physical acts. Instead, they often talk, although Percy still isn’t allowed to argue against him.
Instead, especially in the beginning, Atlas is particularly keen on learning about Percy’s interactions with Zoe and Calypso. He also admires Percy’s loyalty to his family and, if Sally is still alive, would actually argue with his siblings to get Percy the chance to see her again.
Despite Okeanus giving him the most freedom and him getting to be in the sea, Atlas contends with Okeanus for the spot of Percy’s (relative) favourite male Titan.
If Percy were to manage to escape, Atlas is the only one who would turn a blind eye and you can quote me on that... in this AU that is entirely in my head.
But all in all, this relationship is horrible on Percy and he would be suffering almost constantly.
