operatingroomHarry 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:

Date: 2010-11-25 11:09 pm (UTC)To Wish Impossible -- Minerva McGonagall/Augusta Longbottom
Date: 2010-11-25 11:24 pm (UTC)Everyone else remembered it as the day Harry Potter came to Hogwarts. Minerva McGonagall, however, remembered it as the that Neville Longbottom arrived in her school and in her House.
They all talked of Harry’s eyes, and how like his mother’s they were. They forgot to mention how Neville’s eyes were the same as his grandmother’s.
They all mentioned the great things that Potter was supposed to do, to live up to his parents’ names. They neglected to say that Augusta Longbottom had been the clumsiest girl of her year and that Neville seemed to be living up to her name.
But Minerva remembered. She knew. It ached like a bottomless pit in her heart, these reminders of things she should have forgotten by now.
The first time she was forced to Floo call Augusta about Neville, Minerva busied her mind instead with thoughts of the famous one under her care—could Harry’s family really ignore him so completely? It was better than thinking about how fierce and caring Augusta was, and how hard this meeting was going to be.
Despite the fact it had been fifty years, and that they were both much aged and worn, the moment Augusta walked in the office it was like that first day Minerva had met her, when they’d fallen down a flight of stairs. The sight of her kicked Minerva in the stomach, reminding her of all her impossible wishes and even more impossible dreams in years past.
“Professor McGonagall.” The greeting was clipped, the voice stilted. The woman’s carriage was stiff, and there was barely a glimmer of the girl Minerva had fallen in love with so very long ago.
“Madame Longbottom,” Minerva replied softly, her heartbreak braided up into her tightbun, where only Augusta could ever find it, if she ever dared to look. Her wishes stayed on her tongue, and her desires in the secret place in her heart.
You knew better, Minerva told herself as Augusta sat, than to wish impossible things.
But as she rose to leave, Augusta paused at the door. “Perhaps you would like to visit and catch up sometime?” she proposed in the same stiff voice as earlier.
“Revisit old times?” Minerva said.
“Perhaps let our hair down a little,” Augusta replied.
But sometimes, maybe, impossible wishes might come true.

Date: 2010-11-26 12:53 am (UTC)Neville Longbottom/Ginny Weasley-Keeping Quiet
Date: 2010-11-26 01:03 am (UTC)Hermione invites you to dinner at the Burrow sometimes, mostly because she thinks that you spend too much time by yourself. You prefer being alone than doing whatever this masochistic thing you're doing to yourself is, though.
Hermione is at your left and Harry is directly in front of you. Ginny, of course, is sitting to the left of him, as if all of you form two perfectly placed couples. Then again, Ron is on the other side of Hermione and you're mostly left to fend for yourself.
You're not a particularly angry or violent person, but when you catch the glint of the little diamonds on Ginny's finger--the one on her left hand between the pinkie and social finger--your own hand clenches tightly around Molly’s precious, pearl-inlaid knife. It takes too much willpower not to give into the urge to stab something with it.
Hermione gives you a look, and its one that holds knowledge that she shouldn't have. She's always been too observant for her own good.
"You didn't know?" she whispers out of the corner of her mouth, evidently surprised, "It was all over the Prophet this morning." A shrug is all you can manage. You haven’t read the Daily Prophet since fourth year, when Harry and Hermione were plastered all over the front page.
After a moment's pause, she goes on, saying, "I think you should tell her." You don't bother to say to her that you don't care what she thinks.
The little voice in your head that makes you believe that maybe the Sorting Hat was right silently agrees, but it's crushed almost immediately by a wave of pure, unadultered self-loathing. How could you even try to break them up?
Harry whispers something in his fiancée’s ear, a smile in his bottle-green eyes. Ginny just laughs, her own eyes never once leaving his face.
