HARRY POTTER NON-CANON SHIPS COMMENT FICATHON

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:

harry/hermione - those who admit defeat too late
(But did it ever really begin?)
There’s an ache in her bones, creases in the corners of her eyes, moments when she stops, exhales, forgets what she’s doing.
Age comes before its time.
So much else comes after.
Too late.
For the first time the rules don’t make sense.
(She knows she’s going to break them.)
She smokes her first cigarette on a park bench, snow melting in her hair, ring cold on her finger. She can feel his eyes on her before he speaks a word.
“Congratulations.”
“It was inevitable.”
“Wasn’t it?”
“Yes.”
(No.)
Sheets do not tangle around limbs, champagne does not bubble in flutes, whispers of love do not leave lips.
Instead—as if it is some sort of alternative—they wait. Wait for phantom brushes between backs of hands, letters written in code (love your dear friend, love what could have been), dark corners smelling of dust and betrayal.
They attend family dinners at the burrow, avoiding eye contact and lingering gazes and pools of blue behind wide pupils. There is discussion of family vacations and how to use muggle appliances and all things trivial.
They have (treacherous) silent conversations: secrets clink with glasses, thighs press together on not-so-crowed couches, bodies melt together in false goodbyes.
There are some (many) words they do not (cannot) speak.
There are quiet moments (all his moments), hot breath evoking goosebumps, moans caught in her throat, fingers against her clit, eyes wide open, but all she sees is black.
Everything else is loud, thumping in her ears.
Always ready to deny, prepared to avoid, dying to run.
“You proposed.”
(The reasons are wrong.)
“I thought it was time.”
(This is what defeat feels like.)
“Ginny’s great.”
(She’ll never love you best.)
There are nights when she lays awake—Ron snoring beside her—thinking of forbidden, warm nights in a cold, damp tent. Sinful afternoons against stacks of books, legs hooked around his best friend’s waist. Wakeful dreams of running.
Farther, Farther, Farther.
Never quite away.
Never reaching her destination.
The war is over.
(Why didn’t he fight?)
Re: harry/hermione - those who admit defeat too late
I loved this so much.
Re: harry/hermione - those who admit defeat too late
I dare not describe in words, what this did to me, and how fucking perfect it is. I cant, I wont even try. Im gutted and full of flail and incoherent and broken. And a little in love with you. Thank you for writing this. ♥

“Ginny’s great.”

That section is so perfectly tragic. Such lovely work. <3333

Truer words were never spoken. Well done.

Re: harry/hermione - those who admit defeat too late
My favorite lines were: (No) and (like everyone) (She’ll never love you best.). Something so true...
