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:

He doesn't remember what they were talking about. Something stupid, probably, because even though they somehow became the leaders of this misfit troop of fighters, they try not to be serious all the time. We need to remember how to be kids, too, he tells her once. But this time, he doesn't remember what they were talking about but they're sitting on the carpeted floor. Ginny's fingers are tangled in his and her head is on his shoulder. And Neville is saying God knows what when suddenly her lips are on his. Her warm lips are slightly parted when they meet his and Neville's so surprised that he doesn't do anything. He just stops.

But Ginny doesn't back down. She squeezes his hand and twists her body to press against his shoulder. And here Neville brings his free hand to her waist. He kisses back, it's awkward and messy. Neville hasn't had a lot of practice but the way she sucks at his lower lip reminds him that Ginny has had many boyfriends.

He pulls away. "Ginny," he half-whispers. "Don't."

And that's all it takes. She drops his hand and pushes away from him. "Fuck you, Neville," she spits, dangerous, soft but loud enough for the others to hear. She struggles to stand up, legs sore from sitting for too long. But once up, her eyes narrow and Neville is almost scared of her. She waits for him to stand up, too, before she shoves at his chest. He's taller than she remembered. "Fuck you, alright?" She's louder now and a few of the others turn to look. "All year you tell me to forget about Harry. All year you tell me to move on. You make me laugh, you talk about plants like things are normal, you- you- you hold my hand, brush my hair back." She's breathing hard, hands still on his chest. Her face has gone red. "What do you want? I've forgotten about Harry, okay? I'm done waiting for him. He'll come back and save the day but he can't have me! Isn't that what you wanted? Isn't it?!"

Everyone is looking now. Neville grabs Ginny's hand and pulls her into him. She buries her face in his chest and he feels the wetness through his robes. She's crying. He made her cry. "No, Ginny," he whispers into her ear as he smooths her hair back. "I just want you to be happy."

"I can be happy with you."

"I don't think either of us believe that."

---

No one is happier than Neville when Harry returns -- the Boy Who Lived, the Chosen One, the one who will save them all. Neville knows that without Harry, none of them would last much longer.

He catches only a moment alone with Ginny. She smiles at him weakly. "Thank you."

"I'm always here."

"I know."

Oh, I adored this. I love that you stress that their relationship isn't simply easy. They don't always get along and aren't permanently in sync. Ginny angry and frustrated and Neville says the wrong thing some of the time, but they still sit and hold hands and are there for each other. And the way they both feel reserved and guilty about all of it.

He almost misses classes and torture and in his dreams he can hear cruciocruciocrucio and echoing screams that he's sure aren't is.

Oh, Neville ♥

Wonderful work. Thank you.

*sputters* oh good god, this is heartbreaking and absolutely perfect. this is absolutely beautiful and ... i'm making this my canon now :D
