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:

She apparates here even when he isn’t home. She’ll escape to the vast library, a place he rarely, if ever, enters. Or, she’ll cook him dinner, a dinner made with no magic, always handmade, always leaving just before he arrives home. Sometimes, very rarely, she’ll wait for him in the living room, curled up in a big armchair, her legs tucked under her, by a fire she’s lit with matches and kindling. And sometimes, only sometimes, the flames will dance as they lick the air. Then, and only then, will she see them as they draw figures onto the bricks behind them. And they dance.

He’ll see, no, feel the glow of the fire before he unlocks the door to Number 12 Grimmauld Place. He’ll secretly hope that she’s still there. She’s always there. He won’t see her curled on the armchair as its back hides her figure. But he knows. Sometimes he’ll sit next to her, in the other chair and look for the figures he knows she’s watching. Most of the time he’ll sit in front of her. He does this because she likes to soften his raven hair through her fingers. He lets her because it’s a comfort to her, to know he’s there. It comforts him too.

It’s only when he can no longer feel the softness of her touch or hear the steady breathing of her lungs that he knows she’s gone back to their best friend, giving the excuses of too much work or coworkers coercing her into drinks. He won’t believe her but he’ll let it go. He’s always letting it go.

And one time, only one time, she stays in his bed, falling asleep before he arrives to find her tousled in the sheets, whimpering in a dream of long ago. Long ago really wasn’t that long ago. He joins her, laying beside her in the dark, soothing her hair down her back, something he found to relax her sleep. But it’s when he hears

“Life’s too short to live it as a bad person Harry,” that he stops and turns on his back to stare at the ceiling.

“If anyone would know that, Hermione, it would be us. All of us.” She turns to look at him then. “And I think we’ve lived enough to know how fragile it all is, how fleeting this all is.” She buries her head in the crook of his neck, letting her hand rest over his heart. He holds her there and lets out a sigh.

“The forest is pretty this time of year,” she confesses, confessing more than just the desire to be there but the desire to be there with him.

“Do you go often?” She pulls her head back to look at him.

“Every day.” And her stare is so fierce that even without his glasses, it’s the clearest sight of her he’s ever seen.

“Take me with you.” He feels her shudder at his request. There is nothing more that she could want. “And we’ll grow old.” His grip tightens around her shoulders.

“And we’ll dance.” She smoothes back a lock of his hair that’s fallen into his eyes. Her eyes glisten with the threat of tears.

“Always.” And it’s a promise he wants to keep but a promise she won’t let him. She leans her face towards his close enough to feel his short breaths. She let’s her lips linger over his before she dares to leave one searing kiss that locks their desires away forever.

“If only…” And with a pop of lightning, she’s gone.

He’ll feel the glow of the fire before he enters his house but she won’t be there. He’ll sit in front of her chair, the phantom feeling of fingers playing in his hair lingering. He’ll watch the figures she’s been watching for years dance against the brick until the fire dies. If only…

Poignant and achingly reaching for that potential, and then it's gone too soon for our hero. Very well captured.

That hit all the achey buttons so good.

Ouch! In a good way.

it’s a promise he wants to keep but a promise she won’t let him.

She should.
