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:

our lives run parallel (impossible without each other but useless if we merge) | hermione/luna | g

[identity profile] immortality.livejournal.com 2010-11-30 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
it starts like this: walking back from the library, hermione finds luna on the bridge, watching it rain. i like the rain; it's like each time it's washing away all the bad parts of the earth so that the good parts can shine through. and hermione stands there for a bit and watches with her, because really, she hasn't got anything better to do, she's already completed all her assignments for this week and next.




somewhere in the middle, hermione realizes that she still finds luna ridiculous and nonsensical, but it doesn't bother her anymore, like it used to. now, she just rolls her eyes at every mention of a wrackspurt or crumble-horned whatever and every and any other made-up creature luna's chosen to believe in on any given day. now, despite the eye-rolling, she's actually come to enjoy luna's, at times, slightly incoherent and often dreamy rambling.

(even if she still thinks luna may be possibly mad)




nearer to the end, when hermione's gone back to hogwarts to finish out her seventh year, she finds that, despite everything, she's an outsider. so she sits by herself in the library or sometimes just in the main hall and does work, but can't shake the feeling that she just doesn't belong here, even if books and logic are her forte and really, her academic achievements are one of her proudest qualities.

but then luna comes and sits with her, and they don't really talk and it's a bit strange, now that she and luna are both in year seven, but it's nice anyway. at least with luna, she doesn't have to talk, not like with ginny. they can have silences between them that don't feel heavy and expectant. they can just be.




you're thinking.

yes, of course.

harder than usual, i mean. i can see it, in your eyes. a deep thought.

it just feels so strange here now, after all that's happened. don't you feel it? it's like -- i can't explain it. i've changed, but everything else, the school has stayed the same.

it was strange with you gone. but it feels right again, now that you're back.




in the end, it is simply: one hand settling on top of another. a slight, simple gesture. it is them simply leaning in and pressing their lips together. it is simply luna's fingers tangling in hermione's hair to pull her in closer and hermione's fingers knitting into the front of luna's school sweater, holding onto her like a lifeline. i missed you. i didn't think i would, but i did. it feels, simply, like coming home.

And this is my favourite of all of them. I do like a sweet, romantic, happy ending ♥
You may have gathered that my main HP ship is Ginny/Luna, but the way you paint these two, they're simply perfect, so different, and yet so wonderfully complementary.
I love them, really. Write more! (Pretty please? :D )

I think this may be my favorite too, I really, really liked writing it.

If you request, I may write. :3

i love the simplicity of the ending, it fits so well with the rest. and I quite enjoyed the happy ending, and it felt so natural how it was written.
you really should write more.

This is beautiful as well hun. ♥ I do like a sort of fairytale version of them. :) They've got such the interesting dynamic.

I really like this. I like the tone; I like how real this is, and I like how Hermione - though she feels like an outsider (and understandably so), feels less so with Luna. Very nicely done.

I just love how simple this is, yet incredibly lovely and romantic. I think you've just convinced me of Luna/Hermione (though I do think that Luna/Anyone has potential, just that I've never seen this particular pairing work well before). This may be one of my favs for the entire meme ♥
