One thing I think we can agree is that the Heroes books didn't really do much for either, but here's an idea.

A retelling or Fix Fic that focuses on either one of the ideas, but not involving the other.

Either a Gigantomachy story where the Greeks/Romans are not aware of each other and Gaea's attempts at starting it up are avoided. You could have Seven Greeks and Seven Romans fighting different battles in the same war, with overlap only the audience picks up on. For example perhaps Nico still appears at Rome at the Ambassador of Pluto, and as one of Greece's seven heroes. Or monsters mentioning incidents from one side that confuses the other.

Or a story where the Greek versus Roman conflict is the main focus. The conflicts between the two groups occur throughout the books, with the end of the story coming with the reveal that a different antagonist than Gaea is responsible for it: be it the Triumverate or something else. Heck, a Capt Civil War moment where there is a Zemo instead of a super being doing it might be neat. I'll admit I'd also like this idea to have other groups get involved, mostly to have people like Carter, Sadie, and a non-dead Magnus and Alex balance the number difference between the Roman Legion and Camp Half Blood.
