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:

Neville/Ginny - Speak Now

[identity profile] loupooh.livejournal.com 2010-11-26 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
I don't usually write, but this prompt just spoke to me. I hope you like it!

The aisle was covered in flower petals and the end of each row was draped in satin and bows. The church was the picture of a perfect wedding. Neville had been there for nearly 2 hours, sitting around with Harry and the other groomsmen, pretending to be excited.

In the chaos and excitement of the wedding, no one had bothered to notice that Neville's smile was any less real than normal. He stood next to Ron as the wedding march began to play. Glancing at Harry, his smile wider than a first-year at Honeydukes, Neville looked at the doors of the church anticipating their opening.

Ginny walked through the doors, and Neville's eyes widened, taking in her beauty. His heart dropped at the sight of her radiant smile, but lifted when her eyes flitted from Harry to himself. He smiled at her, hoping it looked reassuring, rather than uncertain and hopeful. Ginny reached the altar, turned, and smiled at the preacher, nervousness shining in her eyes.

Neville stared at Ginny, tuning out the ceremony to lose himself in her eyes. Suddenly his eyes snapped back to the preacher as he heard the words that were his undoing.

“Speak now or forever hold your peace” in pieces Neville thought spitefully. This was his chance, his last chance to let the girl of his dreams know what he thought of her. The obligatory silence seemed to stretch on forever, and he couldn't help himself.

“No!” He heard the word a second before he realized it had come out of his mouth. Harry and Ron pivoted in their spots, staring at him incredulously, and he could feel his face begin to heat up. He shot Harry an apologetic look and turned to Ginny, wincing at the tears brimming in her eyes.

“I-I-I'm sorry, but I c-c-can't let you marry him without t-telling you.” Neville took a deep breath before he continued.

“Ginny, I love you. I've loved you since you danced with me at the Yule Ball, I was just too afraid to tell you. Watching you walk down that aisle almost killed me, and I had to tell you, you needed to know.” He heard Harry suck in a big breath and Neville turned to him, sporting a second apologetic look.

“I'm s-sorry Harry, I really am. But-”

“Neville, don't. You don't have to apologize for your feelings. Could you have told us before our wedding day? Yes, but that is beside the point now.” Harry faced the pews and addressed the rest of the church.

“Obviously we need to take a day or two to work this through, please feel free to enjoy the reception, we will let you all know what we have decided in a few days. Thank you all for coming.”

People began to leave, whispering to each other, some stopping to glance back at the Alter. Harry, Neville and Ginny quietly slipped into a room in the back, the two men on either side of the woman, both wishing they could dry her tears.

Aww, this was quite sweet, but also a little sad. I love Neville trying to hold it all in, but then his objections bursting out. Harry was a nice touch. I love that he wasn't really mad, but wanted them to work this out.

Awww! He spoke up! That's my little Gryffindor woobie! I love Neville. And I hope Ginny picks him. And then Hermione can console Harry, and all will be as it should be.
