HARRY POTTER NON-CANON SHIPS COMMENT FICATHON




Banner by [livejournal.com profile] 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:

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.

"Here's hoping," he says in a voice that isn't exactly imbued with it.

"What, you think they keep better track than this?" Her throat warms when she chuckles, faintly. "I was shocked that they kept files at all, Neville. I didn't think the Carrows knew how to read."

He shoots her a sideways look and doesn't say anything at all, the corners of his mouth quirked up.

They are quiet. It is nearly morning, and they are quiet—here in the Room, they're often quiet; moreso and more often than anyone else, than she is anywhere else. Ever since they shook hands in the Gryffindor common room and vowed in short words that they'd keep this alive, they've fallen into patterns. Synchronous, she thinks. Synchronosity?

Oh, sod, she thinks, and tips the bottle between her palms.

"This wouldn't do much," she says. She gathers her legs around her, between them, and cocks her head at him, almost drowning her face in unbrushed red hair. "For wounds; we've got, you know—more stuff for that." Not much, every so often they raid the hospital wing, not that Madam Pomfrey puts up much of a fight (Neville's got a key, now), but still she thinks. "Stuff with actual—buggerall. Magic, innit. Or what's the point."

"I know," he says with a slow nod. "I just thought they'd miss it."

"Yeah."

"No."

"No?"

"No." He sits straight up—well, straighter up. "I mean—yeah, I thought they'd miss it, I bet they ruddy well will. But I took it—"

He casts a look of perplexing fixity at her face. Looks her straight in the eye, those astonishingly honest eyes of his; all she can do is stare back quizzically and wait for the sentence to end. "Because I wanted to," he said. "I took it because I wanted to take it, and that is—"

The bottle tipping back and forth ever more quickly, as if exhaustion has made her hands more restless than ever; she puts it down on the table and realizes, to her preposterous confusion, holding her breath.

"Why I took it," he concludes.

He's still looking at her. Every now and again he just—does that, looks at her like he forgets he's not not looking at her. She's used to it, very nearly. Not watching, not staring. Just that look.

"Must be nice," she says. "Wanting. The things that you want."

No one's more surprised than she is when she leans in and kisses him. No one can possibly be more surprised when he inhales swift and sharp against her lips and she presses closer—that first breath, sucking her in, his arms caught frozen by his sides. She didn't plan this. She didn't bloody plan one moment of this, not as her hand curls around the back of his neck, as her lips break free of his and she rests her tired forehead in the slope between his forehead and his nose.

"Gin," he says, "don't."

"Neville," she says, "please."

"We can't—"

"One reason why not."

His lips flatten; he's—looking again. Stubborn, and no words, and she wanted to love the silence, but not like this.

"You're the bravest bloody person I know," she says softly. "I want you to stay here tonight and be brave with me, can't we just—do that?"

His eyes drift slowly shut. "Where else am I going to go?" he asks, and she leans in. Presses her head into the crook of his neck and this time he curls back around her. His cheek against her hair. She presses a palm to his heart, fingers curling against his collar, and she finally feels his face change, smile. Her fingers move up to trace the curve of his mouth, broadening wider and wider—too wide, she thinks, for her to possibly have merited tonight. Broad hands on the blades of her shoulders, and she rests. The shallow breath in his throat a current under her lips, and she rests. He lies back, tall and comfortable, in the hammock, and in the spaces his body leaves open, she rests.

When she's drifting off, she swears to herself that she'll keep this in the morning.

I love this. Ginny/Neville makes SO MUCH SENSE to me, and all of a sudden I'm dying to read more fic about their time at Hogwarts during DH.

Great work. <3

Thank you. (And—right? I was honestly never one of those people who complained about the 500 Pages of Camping, but even so: there are big things going on at Hogwarts and as a reader I'd love to spend time there.)

Re: it's called the life effect (2/2) - ginny/neville - pg-13

[identity profile] poppypickle.livejournal.com 2010-11-24 07:36 am (UTC)(link)
I know, right?! I also had no complaints about the camping, but the idea of Ginny and Neville and everyone left to their own devices -- fighting these smaller battles and forming bonds that the Trio have no part in -- that shiz is SO FASCINATING.

They have been my Harry Potter OTP from book four (and then Book Five, during the Ministry of Magic, when he fights so hard to protect her? my heart) and this was absolutely lovely. I'm so glad you're writing them.

I love this so much! They make so much sense, don't they?

Oh, they do, so much. Greatest wartime romance JKR never wrote? I'm inclined to think so.

Okay, this is one of the most heart-breakingly perfect pieces I've ever read for these two. I love how comfortable they are with each other. The casual way that they sit on the hammock and how she's used to all of his looks.

The image of Dennis was quite gruesome and really hit me hard, poor baby.

Oh, my heart. I adore this! Neville/Ginny has been my OTP ever since the fifth book, and it's so nice to know I'm not the only one!

this is wonderful

i think the dumbledore's army resistance during DH is like, one of the most ficcable elements of the series and i think you should write more of it forever basically

i love that madam pomfrey is helping them out, little details like that are great because i want to know WHAT IS UP at that school that year. politics, etc.

i love that these two kids -- the demi-heroes, the not-chosen ones -- have taken it upon themselves to be strong. and i love that ginny is the galvanizing agent rather than the supportive partner.

*sort of ... floats in later*

So, I haven't been active in HP fandom IN YEARS but Neville/Ginny is the OTP of my HP heart and has been since I first read GoF and OH MY GOD THIS. I've been on a N/G fic bender for the past two nights and this was just gorgeous. PLEASE TELL ME THERE IS MOAR.
