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:

Forgive me? I just saw the movie so this came out like ANGST CITY but um, the general idea is there? And to think! This prompt immediately made me think of affair fic! DAMN YOU DAVID YATES! But enough preamble.

---------------

He doesn't remember how, but somehow they're both yelling across the distance of her living room and she's crying and no one's home and it's like that damn locket is on his neck all over again.

She collapses on a stool in the kitchen, exhausted, hair settling in a mass, shielding her eyes. Closed fists against her eyes, she starts -

"Why are we still doing this?"

He unclenches his hands, rubs his scar, unconsciously.

She turns to look at him.

"Harry?"

He can't look, can't breathe, it's always the same.

So he lies.

"I don't know."

She stands up, ever Hermione, ever in-charge, always knowing.

"Harry."

She holds his face, leaning her forehead against his.

"We weren't always like this."

It's true and it's stupid but ever since the hunt, since the wedding, since their first child and everything on top, he hasn't been able to act like anything but a fifteen year-old git.

"I'm sorry, Hermione."

She sighs, still holding his face and his hands come up to cup her elbows. He can almost smile when he asks,

"Why are you always right?"

Her smile back is broken like she knows he's avoiding the subject but she rests her head in his shoulder and for moments he just breathes. Nothing but their lungs expanding and collapsing and his eyes close, just for a second.

"Remember when we danced?"

It's a whisper in her ear and slowly, just a shuffle, he sways her weight once left, then right.

"Harry..." and her voice is warning, don't remember, and this is the fight all over again. Whatever happened without Ron didn't happen at all - the underlying currents of jealousy and a Pandora's Box that they've told themselves wasn't worth the trouble of opening.

"Harry..."

He's pulling away and smiling, almost, shaking his head and adjusting his glasses.

"You're right, of course... again."

She looks lost, hopeless, staring because again they're in the same room and lightyears apart.

"Tell Ron I say hi."

She turns back toward the living room, almost whispering her canned response,

"Tell him yourself."

GAH. This just KILLED me. I can truly imagine this exact scene taking place somewhere in their future. Lovely work. <3

Ugh, I adore your writing, every line screams perfection. I adore how you write them, muted and yet undeniable. This was gutting and gorgeous and so very inevitable!

Thank you for writing this. <3

I love how you paint such a... complete picture with so few words. Also it is a painful picture, thanks for that.
