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:

"Oh," she steps back towards him, a trembling around her lips as she tries to keep her face neutral, for him he supposes. "I'm sorry if that offended you. I just find it's easier to smile than to cry. You can stop smiling a lot quicker than you can stop crying."

He has no words to say, can't think of a single retort for such an innocently stated opinion. She looks at him unblinkingly, standing disconcertingly close to him. He can only shake his head, rub at his tired eyes, and give up because encounters with Luna Lovegood are sometimes too complicated for him to follow. "Never mind, I-never mind."

He turns away, blinking back tears that she's strong enough to keep at bay. She puts her hand on his shoulder, a light touch from a tiny little thing, and moves so she's standing in front of him again. "But crying is okay too," she tells him. "Neither way is wrong-it's just what you feel, Ronald."

She drops her hand and moves away, taking care not to skip. He feels bad as he watches her go, sees herself holding back for his sake and the sake of others. He'll never truly understand that girl, but there are times when she makes so much sense it's like it's everyone else who's off their nutter and she's the only sane one left.

He's still not sure what she's doing here, but for the first time, he's glad she came.

This line—it just kills me. This entire thing is just—it's perfect. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Thanks! I've been absent from the HP fandom for awhile and I'm so glad this meme is here to kickstart my muse!

First off: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

Also: I love this so very much! It's been far too long since I've read Ron/Luna in general, and even longer since I read something capturing them and the pairing so well. This fic highlights what about them makes them so OTP for me. Just everything! I got a bit misty-eyed even!

This was so good. It really captures the both of them. There just isn't enough Ron/Luna fic out there. Thanks for writing this!

OH. I've been on such a Hermione kick lately, but this fic just reminded me of how much (and why) I love Luna. Wonderful work. <3

Thanks! The more Luna love in the world, the better.

This. is. amazing. I love you for writing it. Luna is great, but so is Ron!

This is love. You wrote Luna absolutely perfectly. And it's nice to see Ron appreciating her.
