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:

Poison Heart; horcrux!Harry/horcrux!Hermione
--
He is rage. He is pain. He is everything that turns people against one another. He is everything that ends all hope. He is everything that kills.
She is fear. She is hate. She is everything that one wishes to hide from. She is everything that one will never escape. She is everything that destroys.
(They emerge newly born from the darkness with their fingers entwined.)
Ronald Weasley, small and weak and oh so frightened, cowers on the ground before them. They have seen his heart and they know all that dwells there—all the hopes and dreams and furies and fears, buried deep (but not deep enough).
They show him what he dreads most.
Harry Potter loves Hermione Granger. Hermione Granger loves Harry Potter. They are the whole world, and there is no room for someone lesser, someone forgotten, someone unwanted.
A hindrance.
A burden.
A nothing.
She deserves the best. He is the best. They could hardly be anything else.
(They are only what the fickle Fates have made them.)
Denial expels from the mouth of their helpless spectator—denial, always denial, of what stands so clearly before him. The Other Harry says, it’s a lie. Don’t listen. It isn’t the truth.
They are still very very real.
There is doubt, so much doubt, in Ronald Weasley’s eyes (in his mind, in his heart).
He sees it.
He knows it.
He tastes it.
Reality tastes like the echoes of dead dreams and the dust of broken hearts. He breathes in everything that she is, and she has never been more brilliant. Like fire she consumes his entire being, and in return he devours her whole. He slides gladly along that sweet razor’s edge, falling towards eternity with fervent, intoxicating abandon.
They are everything. She is everything.
(He could stay there forever, he thinks.)
But Ronald Weasley (the hindrance, the burden, the nothing) thrusts that bright, wicked sword between them—always coming between them, always—straight through their stone heart like a burning curse.
It is the end, but for an instant his eyes cut away to the Other Harry (no one sees it). Just as his heart breaks and they are torn apart, a smile stretches his lips against hers, like a secret whispered in deep dark places.
They are still the truth, after all.
(They’d slipped and slid and slithered through more than one heart these past weeks.)

Love the symbolism
Re: Poison Heart; horcrux!Harry/horcrux!Hermione
And lol I am all about the symbolism like whoa.PS your icon is hilarious. X)
Re: Poison Heart; horcrux!Harry/horcrux!Hermione
AND THE LAST LINE.
THISISPERFECTION. I am choosing to believe that this is EXACTLY what happened and Harry spent ages trying to understand that smile and knowing what it was. AND THE SWORD. Guh. Imagery. I loved it. This is amazing!
Re: Poison Heart; horcrux!Harry/horcrux!Hermione
I imagine that, in my version of events, Harry is both very confused and very not confused, but mostly I wanted to leave it open to interpretation. Poor boy, don't you know the heart doesn't lie? X)
Re: Poison Heart; horcrux!Harry/horcrux!Hermione
Re: Poison Heart; horcrux!Harry/horcrux!Hermione
I love the implication that they reveal Harry's (and Hermione's?) desires as well as Ron's fears.
That's pretty much exactly what I was going for lol. I'm glad it came across well. :)
