I'm not even trying to get you to ship Luke/Percy, because it isn't even my main ship. If I was going to go into full-on persuasion mode, I'd go after you for Percy/Nico. I know Percy doesn't angst. But I think overhearing Annabeth's angst plays into the dynamic. And it may be my like for the pairing and for Luke that makes me object to the thought of him killing Percy without regret. I've been a bit corrupted by fanon at this point, and part of it might be main character bias. But I still can't see a universe where he kills Percy like swatting a fly.
And yeah, I am a lot less requiring of this "bond." I think Percy at least had some respect for Luke initially, and I kind of believe we don't know quite how Luke felt, with events through Percy's eyes. Consider Percy and Luke's swordfighting match. I think that alone would make Luke interested -- in a "I'm curious" sense, not "I want to have sex with that" sense. I also think a son of one of the big three by itself would catch his curiosity. He might not be having positive thoughts, but there are thoughts.
I just think there is enough to play with there, and that it isn't one of those "these may be the two hottest guy characters so they should bang" phenomena. And I don't need to see them go through some of the sequences of events that I know you really enjoy. I wonder if that's part of the reason for the disinterest, because some of the things you like to see just wouldn't realistically happen.
I still prefer Nico over Luke. :P Percy and Nico are actually totally my favorite characters. ^^;; Even if I have a huge soft spot for Annabeth.
I know some pairings, you just can't be won over to. I think Zuko/Jet will never do it for me, no matter what fanfic people could show me.
Not that surprised about Travis and Connor, really. xD I'm sure it's the interactions more than the biology, so there would be no need to point out the "two different mothers; gods don't have DNA" thing, especially since couples with the same godly parent is considered to be, you know, kind of fucked up.

But you don't have to apologize. xD <3
