HARRY POTTER NON-CANON SHIPS COMMENT FICATHON
Banner by
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
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 -- tell you that the metaphor is better than yours (pg)
Sometimes, in quiet moments, he misses her so much that he imagines her there.
The quick tones of her voice, multi-syllable words flying by too fast to catch them, her messy-curly-frizzy-pretty hair and the way she’d brush it one million times before bed like a princess out of a fairytale, the comfortable way she could carry several books in the crook of her elbow, the shape (and taste and feel) of her pink mouth.
She’s excellent company and he’s probably certifiably crazy but seven years, you know? Seven years of her ideas shaping his future and her hand learning its way comfortably into his and the war to end all wars; he’ll never known another girl – woman – the way he knows her.
two.
He misses Ron, deeply and permanently, but it’s different. They are cemented: best friends, always, without question. Wherever they finish, they can begin again at that exact point.
It’s different with Hermione – or rather, it’s different without her. There are no grand gestures but there are assumptions, assumptions that everyone seems to hold, assumptions that she will marry his best friend, live her life with Ron ever after, have his children and be his wife. It will be cemented.
And Harry will be left with should’ve-been, could’ve-been, would’ve-been…
Almost was.
three.
Hermione Granger has a new last name and blonder hair the next time he sees her in the flesh. He thinks her eyes are paler and her wrists are thinner, or maybe the Hermione of his memories is always from the Hogwarts-years, a little younger and a little more certain.
“D’you know something?” she says, when they find themselves in an empty room.
The Hermione who lurks at the corners of his vision answers for him and he steals her words. “I know many things,” he teases.
She smacks him gently upside the head and he wishes she’d touch him again. Her eyebrows lift conspiratorially, “Rita Skeeter’s still convinced we’re having a mad love affair.”
He raises his eyebrows, too, and mutters, “Lunacy, eh?”
In the room’s soft light her smile looks like a secret and she leans back to sit comfortably next to him. “Something along those lines,” she whispers, and seven years, you know? Seven years. It’s so easy now to hear the words she leaves unsaid.
end.

ohmygod, this is absolutely stunning. Perfect, thank you!
(PS, I recognize you from the Gossip Girl fandom - your writing has always been brilliant, I'm so glad you're writing for these two).

That whole section is so perfect and true. I love the bit about shaping his future because it is ABSOLUTELY the case.

I love this. SO MUCH. <33333

I'm amused that Rita still gets them, almost better than they get themselves, or at least that they'll admit to.

Seven years of her ideas shaping his future and her hand learning its way comfortably into his and the war to end all wars; he’ll never known another girl – woman – the way he knows her.
^ THIS. For me, those are all the reasons that h/hr could've worked out perfectly and the rest of the fic is absolutely heartbreaking. truly fantastic job.
