* FamilyRelationshipSwitcheroo
FamilyRelationshipSwitcheroo: Magnus sometimes is mistaken for Annabeth's brother instead of her paternal cousin, likely because of the StrongFamilyResemblance and their good relationship.
*EntertaininglyWrong
EntertaininglyWrong: Being aware of the Olympian pantheon's existence, Frederick doesn't bother looking further when he realizes his nephew is a demigod, casually assuming that Magnus cannot be anything than Greek.
*GreenEyedMonster
GreenEyedMonster:
** Annabeth feels pretty furious and envious of her cousin's easy bond with Percy.
** Magnus notes Nico is "glaring daggers" at him while enjoying a hug from Percy.
*HeterosexualLifePartners
HeterosexualLifePartners: WordOfGod preemptively sank any ship as the story's main focus isn't romance, so Percy and Magnus' friendship will remain such in spite of Magnus' canon pansexuality.
*JuridictionFriction
JurisdictionFriction: Asgard is understandably unhappy about Olympus "poaching" their demigods, with the assimilated souls' afterlife being a huge point of contention.
*LockedOutOfTheLoop
LockedOutOfTheLoop: Deconstructed -- Annabeth ''knows'' her cousin is hiding something and it drives her slightly crazy, alongside making her feel hurt.
*ParentalNeglectParentalNeglect: Gods as a rule aren't invested in their half-mortal offspring. Everyone at Camp Half-Blood is appaled by Magnus' father refusing to claim him -- it's actually more complicated -- and Asgardians outright ignore their kids until they die in glory and ascend to Valhalla.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13702050/1/The-Varangian-Guard The Varangian Guard]]'' is an AU ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'' fanfic, with prominent ''Literature/MagnusChaseAndTheGodsOfAsgard'' parts, written by shanodarkwing.
[[ForWantOfANail The point of divergence]] happens when a Natalie Chase dying well before her hour entrusts her brother Frederick with the care of her young son Magnus. Frederick decides to accept -- he's already raising one demigod, his own daughter Annabeth, so it shouldn't be that different, right?
Unless Magnus reveals himself to be another kind of demigod entirely...
!This fanfic contains the following tropes
* AngstWhatAngst: InUniverse, Magnus is surprisingly cool with his divine father refusing to claim him, something that amazes more than one Greek demigod, and this is well before suspecting he wasn't Greek himself.
* AwfulTruth: How Magnus first reacts when he starts to suspect he might not be a demigod from the Olympian pantheon.
* ChildOfTwoWorlds: Magnus, as a Norse demigod raised and trained among the Greek heroes.
