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:

FROM DECADES TRAPPED | the grey lady/the bloody baron
"You know the thing they never tell you about being dead?"
He raises his eyebrows.
"Do you mean being dead or being here like this?"
"Those are different things, you know."
Her eyes roll up and around. The milky whites glow yellow in the candlelight.
"Everything is semantics with you, isn't it?"
"Is it?"
"I didn't think so."
"No."
"No?"
"Somethings are about semantics. The important ones."
"So, everything that's important must be trivialized?"
"Just go on with what you were going to say, will you?" he barks, impatient and the blood is there then, blood rough (what a strange name for a ghost, their veins run empty) and he jerks his head forward.
"They never tell you that you'll miss touch more than you'll ever miss people."
He laughs.
"That's because everyone's dead, darling."
"Everyone but us."
That's another thing they don't tell you.
Nothing that a ghost says echoes. Not even in empty halls.
-
In another age, her fondness was for quiet men.
That age is gone.
-
"I think I'll disappear someday," she says, dreamily. This is during the Christmas feast, enchanted globes floating over the heads of youth.
She says this every year. She has not disappeared.
The Baron watches a teacher drink his wine and his throat shudders at the sight of spilled drink.
(At one time, he would say "Disappear soon, I hope?" and she would huff.
Now, he says nothing.
Death does not preclude the process of aging.)
-
The war blinds a low, dark wind.
It makes her shiver without fear but he watches, he watches her and he realized on the eve of this battle (they call it the final battle, they always call it the final battle) and she says--
"I hear them saying the dead will rise from their graves."
"That worries you."
She laughs.
"Too many ex lovers, baron. Too many people I'd never want to see again."
Her face looks like stone when she throws it back.
He realizes he has been watching her for too many years.

Once again I'm amazed at how many fantastically interesting characters and stories exist within this HP world.
Wonderful work. <3333
