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:

There's a box.

It starts with photos from Hogwarts - Sirius's arm slung over Remus's shoulder, his lips brushing his ear, his hair tickling the curves of his neck. There's letters from summers apart - the kind where i miss you and i wish you were here were hidden between rambles of over-the-top humor and accounts of intricate pranks on James' neighbors. Short notes sent during classes, some dirty enough that they still made Remus blush. There's a scarf that Sirius gave him for their first Christmas together, the one Remus is sure he stole from a bothersome fourth year because he couldn't stand to spend his parents money. Other things, trinkets that hold their own value - tiny pensives full of memories.

All of these are covered with newspaper clippings about the arrest. Piles of papers detailing the life of Sirius Black. Discussing his decent into madness. Wondering with both disgust and awe at how deeply undercover he managed to get under the nose of Albus Dumbledore. The headlines all read the same to Remus - You Are a Fool. He uses them as blankets in his box.

The world stops talking about Sirius soon enough. The box stops filling up. Remus finds work here and there. Goes through the motions. The box moves from apartment to apartment. Stays under beds and in the backs of closets. Sometimes when Remus has a bad day and a little too much to drink, it sees the light of day. Those days he thinks of burning it. He's never drunk enough to actually go through with it.

Word breaks of the escape and Remus takes the box with him to Hogwarts. There, Harry Potter trusts him with his life. Remus thinks, you shouldn't. your parents made this same mistake because he knows. Knows there is a box that tells two stories and after 13 years, Remus still can't decide which one he likes best.

This is a memory too.

There's a box.

There's always a box, Sirius would say, bottle half way to his lips and a smile curling around it. He'd mumbled cliche against the top. And Remus wouldn't know whether to be offended or amused. Sirius would keep him from thinking too long on the matter, curl his hands into the lapels of his coat and tell him to stop thinking so much. Press a kiss to his forehead and whisper I love you like it meant too much and not enough.

Remus knows this feeling all too well now.

you break my heart in the most wonderful ways. such beautiful images and they stand out so starkly - drunk remus, I'd love to see that :) and the little trinkets he carries with him but never lets go, of all the memories they had. oh, ship <3

They are like...my OTP of OTPs for HP. My love for them is only rivaled by Harry/Luna, and it's just barely.

I'm really late to the comment party, but this is fantastic. <3

Short but beautiful. Very well done.
