HARRY POTTER NON-CANON SHIPS COMMENT FICATHON

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:

Instinct
It was fitting that their journey on the run started at a wedding, a formal societal function filled with fancy clothing and drinks and dancing.
After living in a tent for weeks on end, polite society seems so far away that they can’t imagine being at another formal function ever again.
With the death of politeness, nerves fray. The incessant sniping begins anew, then, suddenly, Ron is at the door to leave and looks at her, asking if she is leaving with him.
Barging out isn’t part of polite society. But they are past polite society. They are on to the need to survive.
A million years of evolution drives her instinctual choice to stay with the Boy Who Lived, who survives no matter the impossible circumstance, again and again.
A million years of evolution drives her instinctual choice to remain with the one who has proven himself in battle before and surely will do so again. The one who figured out how to free her from a stone prison in her own body. The one who ensured she was rescued from the bottom of a lake.
For her it is the instinctual choice, the adaptive response. He is proven. He leads by instinct, and she follows by instinct.
She never rationalizes her choices in these terms; the response bubbles beneath the surface of her consciousness in the few crevices of her brain that she hasn’t honed through hours of study. The instinctual part. The part that knows to breathe in and out. The part that knows to send air to the lungs and water to the gut. The part that blinks thousands of times a day without a thought. The part that makes this decision in an instant and without hesitation or thought.
To even ask if she’s leaving, Ron takes on a million years of evolution and six years of loyalty and friendship and bravery and love. The question is settled before it finishes falling from Ron's lips, but the question is asked.
Perhaps niceties survive after all.
