Harry Potter Non-Canon Ships Comment Ficathon

THE RULES ARE THUS:

1. WHAT MAKES A NON-CANON SHIP? Anything that is not at least one-sided in the books. This means that Snape/Lily is canon, even if she may (or may not) have ever reciprocated. Bellatrix/Voldemort is canon. Lavendar/Ron is canon. Obviously everyone who's married and/or dates is canon. OBHWF is canon, Harry/Cho is canon. Ships that are not stated as fact in the books are not canon. That means UC ships are good, slash is good, femslash is good. For our purposes, we are not counting JKR's interviews as canon. That means that if you wanted to prompt, say, who knows, Hannah/Neville, you could, because it's not in the text itself.

2. You leave a comment with a pairing and a prompt. You respond to prompts that you like. Your prompt must pertain to a non-canon ship. You may specify a character within that ship if you want the fic written from that characters perspective. You may also specify a timeline if you'd like, or if you want it to take place in the movie!verse.

3. When writing fic, put in your title SHIP - TITLE OF FIC (rating optional). This will help us archive if we later archive things. I don't have time to archive anything right now, but if someone wants to volunteer, we can make that happen.

4. LEAVE FEEDBACK. Comments are the lifeblood of the internet.

5. NO WANK. I'll delete your ass. And we're dealing with ships and I am deletion happy, so watch yourself.

6. There will be spoilers for the movie all over this post, I am sure. You have been warned.

7. Promote this if you please. You can use this code:

For text link:

In the image code box, you can use any of the banners below or the lead banner at the top of the post.

They're all uploaded to tinypic, so you can just copy/paste the source code:

My heart has just broken in two and I cannot put it back together. :((( Oh my word. I feel like crying.

Great writing! ♥

Don't cry! Work your way through the ficathon and find some sweet H/Hr to put your heart back together. <3

Thanks so much for reading and for commenting. <3333

Oh, this is exactly the story I hoped someone would write. I love both Hermione's realization that she doesn't associate Percy with Ron (because he and Ron really are starkly different) and the second realization that Percy is who she sees herself in. I also love that they started out very similar but that Hermione had Ron & Harry and the war to pull her out of herself, but Percy has always turned inward.

and she stares at him, beaming, and can almost like the way that Percy doesn't notice her staring.

This part in particular was soft and lovely and quiet, but so them. Thank you.

wow, this is gorgeous. fantastic characterization of regulus and so many beautiful lyrical moments. i would start quoting but i'd just do the whole thing! the diamonds, digging your own grave and then lying in it... and i love his delivery of "mercifully so." amazing piece.

Yeah, a lot.

probably the biggest missed opportunity in the entire series

He wonders, when they first get into this mess, if they're out of their minds for bringing her along. He, Harry, and Hermione? They're used to this sort of thing by now. He honestly has trouble remembering a time when he wasn't constantly running headfirst into danger. And Neville and Ginny? Neville has turned out to be braver than anyone thought and Ginny's been holding her own in a house full of boys (two of which were Fred and George) for fourteen years. Add onto that, they're Gryffindors. If Gryffindors aren't able to risk life and limb, who will?

But she's different. She's Loony Lovegood-a thin collection of skin and bones (and scraggly hair and bug-eyes) that has been the laughingstock of the school since she first arrived. Loony Lovegood is not the first name suggested for a perilous mission to save the Wizarding World from You-Know-Who; he doubts she's even the last (why would her name be brought up in the first place?). She's a Ravenclaw, the strangest Ravenclaw ever, and looks frail enough to snap completely in between two moderately strong hands.

But she shows up, calm and in good spirits, when they give out the call. She handles herself with grace while riding on top of those . . . things. She's serene while in the Department of Mysteries, firing off hexes and dodging falling objects. She's practically non-reactive when being held hostage, a Dark Wizard aiming his wand at her throat. And when the cavalry arrives, when they're under fire like never before, she holds her wand, blood dripping from a cut on her lip, smiles dreamily and Stupifies Death Eater after Death Eater.

At the end of it, he's shakily getting to his feet and she's practically skipping over to check on her schoolmates. He shakes his head at her composure, unable to rectify this image with his conception of Loony Lovegood. "Weren't you afraid?" he asks, in a tone far more accusatory than intentioned.

She blinks those bug-eyes at him, the red trail of blood on her face a sharp contrast to the paleness of her skin. "I was terrified," she returns in that same airy sort of voice she always uses. She blinks a few more times and then smiles softly and makes to move away.

"Are you making fun of me?" he has to ask, not sure what to make of a girl who can skip and hum like a child when they've been through Hell, when someone has died right in front of them. He can still hear Harry screaming for Sirius, the sounds echo in his ears and batter against his brain. He wants to cry, just thinking of it, but can't because this silly girl with her stupid eyes and inappropriate smile.

When she turns back around, she's wearing the closest thing he's ever seen to a frown on her face. "Why would I be making fun of you?"

He shakes his head, anger ready to pour of his mouth in a steady stream. But he checks himself at the last second, already sees Ginny and Hermione giving him strange looks. "You're smiling, like this was fun."

"Oh," she steps back towards him, a trembling around her lips as she tries to keep her face neutral, for him he supposes. "I'm sorry if that offended you. I just find it's easier to smile than to cry. You can stop smiling a lot quicker than you can stop crying."

He has no words to say, can't think of a single retort for such an innocently stated opinion. She looks at him unblinkingly, standing disconcertingly close to him. He can only shake his head, rub at his tired eyes, and give up because encounters with Luna Lovegood are sometimes too complicated for him to follow. "Never mind, I-never mind."

He turns away, blinking back tears that she's strong enough to keep at bay. She puts her hand on his shoulder, a light touch from a tiny little thing, and moves so she's standing in front of him again. "But crying is okay too," she tells him. "Neither way is wrong-it's just what you feel, Ronald."

She drops her hand and moves away, taking care not to skip. He feels bad as he watches her go, sees herself holding back for his sake and the sake of others. He'll never truly understand that girl, but there are times when she makes so much sense it's like it's everyone else who's off their nutter and she's the only sane one left.

He's still not sure what she's doing here, but for the first time, he's glad she came.

Do it! I'd love to see what you come up with!

Beautiful, and totally heartbreaking. *tear* I love the way you wrote it - simple, quiet, yet so full of love and hopes long lost that I thought my heart would burst.

Thank you so much. ♥

Love this prompt.

Everything is different in the aftermath, when they are no longer an army, when the dust finally settles and it comes with the realization that now they are friends – just friends – and the only goal to work towards is happiness.

His memory gets a little blurry. There were too many things – too many silent, cold nights in the woods, too many difficult conversations, too many Horcruxes to find, too many obstacles to overcome –

She says it’s a coping mechanism. That’s how the brain works, Harry, it protects you from too much trauma all at once. I, for one, am surprised you haven’t felt like this before… Psychology textbook, the Muggle kind, open on her knees and her hair loose around her face, cleverest girl he’s even known and it makes him feel eleven years old just to look at her.

Now they’re older and the war has made them men and women. He winds a curl of her hair around his index finger and smiles. It’s almost nice, the way there’s nothing to do now and he has all the time in the world to watch the slow way she comes to smile back at him.

For a while, he goes away. He travels, tries to have a vacation, leaves half of his heart behind and waits for the other shoe to drop.

Ginny writes to him occasionally, scribbles on paper that start off as love letters and fade into updates. It’s from her words, loopy writing that he used to love, that he finds out that Ron asked Hermione to marry him and she said no.

War changes people.

He scowls. No shit, ’Mione.

The way her eyelashes flutter, heavy over her eyes, and the way her body shifts against his – her thigh, and her knee, and the muscles of her calf and then her ankle, hooked over his; those are the signs that she’s waiting for him to kiss her.

She is too much memory.

Too many moments in the woods, in that tent and around it.

When he’s around her he can remember, vividly, clearly the sparkle in her eyes, the curve of her lips when she gave him those reluctant, endless smiles. He can remember her dancing – with him, that first time, her plaid shirt and crackling radio and the feel of her chin perched on his shoulder, the rumble of her laugh in his chest. And he remembers the last time, her all alone and wearing one of his jumpers, pale moonlight painted over her skin, dancing like he wasn’t even watching.

I think I might love you, Hermione. They were laughing about something beforehand and it had sounded like a joke to his own ears. He remembers the look of her bare shoulder, the line of her neck. She’d unbuttoned her own jeans but he’d been the first one to kiss her.

It hadn’t felt like a loss of anything, her shaky little gasps by his ear and scratchy wool blankets.

He stills dreams about it sometimes.

Mittens on her hands and snowflakes in her eyelashes. His glasses fogged up by his own breath and the words he never said cluttering his throat, yes, sure, please let’s stay here and grow old, you always have the best ideas…

She helps him study for his – their – Auror exam.

Flashcards and the lilt of her voice that she never lost from their Hogwarts days, studying for their OWLs. Her frown, pay attention, Harry.

She helps him – her mouth soft against his and her dress kicked aside.

The fire dies in the fireplace at the old headquarters of the Order, Hermione stretched out on the rug in front of it.

Chin tilted up, she looks oddly defiant and particularly beautiful. Tell me.

He thinks hard, back to her last flashcard, and tries to answer. The light dies in her eyes.

Ginny leans against the windowsill next to him, red hair and flowery shampoo.

I wasn’t going to come.

She shrugs. He’d never give up on her.

Pachelbel’s Canon sounds like a death march to his ears.

She dances with him, her dress ivory and her smile soft.

When she lifts a bare shoulder in what is almost a shrug it looks like an apology for something that’s hardly her fault. They’d both like to pretend that this is his choice.

He touches his nose to the side of her head, brushing against her hair. He’ll love you better.

One last dance, seared into his brain – she’s too much memory.

oh. god. my heart.

it'll never be over for them. :(

i hadn't written fic for the pairing either and now i'm sort of sold on it? i want to write one from Percy's POV, how Hermione is the only one he feels okay being around cause she is the only one around who isn't his family (hence he doesn't have to remember Fred so much). i don't know, i just think this pairing could be epic.

thanks for reading!

All the H/Hr fics I've read so far are about missed chances at happiness... all have this autumnal, longing feeling to them. No wonder. *sigh and glares at JKR* ;) We can't say that the latest film haven't been a real inspiration, though. Love it. :D

And this ficathon is such a fabulous idea! :)

Glad you liked! As I said in the other comment above now that I've written I'm sort of crazy about the pairing, ha ha. so thanks for requesting!

!!!!!!!!! This is awesome! Man, I love them. I don't care how fucked up it is.

And god, this?

Because kissing him is an extension of James, and even if it’s wrong, it’s intrinsically right.

Yep. Perfect.

oh my goodness. ♥

She kisses him back, because there’s not a part of her in denial about what he and James are, what he and Remus are, what they all somehow are, in their woven web of love and trust. Because kissing him is an extension of James, and even if it’s wrong, it’s intrinsically right.
PERFECT

RIGHT BACK AT YOU. BUT NO REALLY. REQUESTING THE TRIO EVERYWHERE

also needs moar blackcest. just saying.

GUH yes

Harry/Luna -sometimes I wonder if I made a mistake/but all of the time, I know it's too late

voldemort/bellatrix? and/or tom/bellatrix? ~~i just don't get why this ship isn't bigger in fandom~~

Tom Riddle/Harry Potter, I brought you into my dreamland, I sleepwalked you into my land of totems.

Love this

Draco/Luna- Everyone's a pacifist between wars. It's like being a vegetarian between meals.
