Banner by operatingroom

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:

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:

He takes off his glasses and presses his fingertips to the bridge of his nose. “We can’t --”

“I know we can’t,” she cuts him off sharply. They never could. Not then and certainly not now. “I know that,” Hermione says again, more quietly this time.

“What does it matter, then?” Harry murmurs. Without warning a sliver of sunlight rises out of the horizon, cutting a streak of orange across his face and for a moment Hermione thinks of the boy she met on the train all those years ago. Apprehensive. Overwhelmed. Impossibly young.

They are still so impossibly young.

“It matters,” she says. It will be a miracle if they all come out of this alive. None of them say it, but they know it all the same. The whole world is their deathbed, and Hermione knows that people do not -- should not -- tell lies on their deathbed. Not even to themselves.

“Harry…” She whispers his name like a caress and he finally turns to look at her. Wordlessly, he lifts his hand tentatively up to her cheek. She can feel his fingers trembling as he brushes the pad of his thumb against her skin. Hermione brings her hand up to his and they hold each other’s gaze for a long time, the moment heavy with a finality that takes her breath away.

I could have loved you, she wants to tell him. If given half the chance.

But instead she says, “You should get some rest, Harry.”

He pulls his hand away slowly, the moment broken. “Yeah,” he nods, brushing the snow off of his clothes as he moves to stand up. “You’re right.” He takes a few steps towards the tent, the turns back towards her abruptly. “Hermione?”

She knows that her voice will betray her, so she wordlessly turns to meet his eyes.

“Thank you. For everything.” Harry says simply, but somehow it sounds a little like goodbye to her. Then he parts the heavy canvas flaps and disappears inside the tent.

Hermione stares after him for a moment, then turns back to watch the sun begin to bathe the cold earth in its fiery orange light. Her tears glow like embers as they silently streak down her cheeks.

This is so wonderfully, beautifully heartbreaking.

Thank you so much. <3

I've been trying to express how wonderful this story was for a while. I can't. It was so simple yet so perfectly heartbreaking.

Awwww, thank you so much. I really appreciate it. <3

tears in my eyes. this is stunning.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

;__; This is beautiful. So beautiful and heartbreaking and ugh. I love it.

Thank you. <3

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

... i ... can't good god, my fandom is so incredibly talented! I want to quote the whole thing.

“I know we can’t,” she cuts him off sharply. They never could. Not then and certainly not now.

BREAK MY HEART ALL OVER AGAIN, WON'T YOU?

Her tears glow like embers as they silently streak down her cheeks.

... I can't. This is just so tragic, and at the same time so incredibly stunning your words paint this vivid, harsh, beautiful picture and I'm sucked into this world that you have brought to life. gorgeous.
