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:

It happens two weeks and four days after Ron has left them.

There's barely any contact at all –

just her chapped lips against his,

his hands fisted in her shirt –

and then it's over, it's over, and it's nothing at all.

She pulls away first, but they don't talk about that.

They don't talk about it at all.





He's cold and drenched and she's staring at him and he just wants her to stop.

"He saw---he saw us together."

He looks away as the words leave his mouth.

The images flash through his mind again--

herandhimandkissingandkissing

--and he thinks of his best friend, his best friend who took the sword to the locket.

He looks back at her.

"We're- we're not--"

"I know."

His words ring hollow in the woods.




He lies still against the leaves.

He can hear his heartbeat, the blood rushing through his veins.

He keeps his eyes closed.

Don't check don't check--

Feels a hand near his heart.

When he is pronounced dead, all he can think of is her.

He'll see this through.




He sees them amidst the rubble.

They're kissing, a celebration for the end of the war.

He looks away.

Reminds himself they've won.




Five months after the war,

five months of a fresh start.

Five months of conversations over coffeelunchdinner,

and they're back at square one.




The air is crisp and the leaves are golden.

He sits next to her, legs stretched out on the grass.

"So," he begins.

She glances his way.

"So," he tries again, "You and Ron."

She shrugs.

Her lips curve into a smile, but her eyes remain serious.

"So," she mimics him, tone subdued, "You and Ginny."

He sighs, closes his eyes.

"Yeah."




He sees her at the wedding.

"You look--"

"Thanks."

"Hermione--"

"Harry, don't--"

He presses his lips to hers,

and suddenly he's in those woods, seventeen again,




but this time, he turns away first.




He still sees her, from time to time.

They talk about everything and nothing,

their work, their kids, Ginny, Ron.

Sometimes, he lets his hand linger a second too long.

And for a moment, he'll wonder what they could have been.

But then she smiles at him, touches his arm, and he remembers.




They're Harry and Hermione.

This is beautiful. It breaks my heart in all the right ways.

Thank you. They're such a doomed couple, in a sense, but I love them so.

I loved how spare and poetic your prose was. So poignant and lovely. <3
From: [identity profile] theagonyofblank.livejournal.com
Thank you so much. :) I'm really glad the prose worked for you, because I was a little worried about it.

Oh. Wow. This is wonderful.

My favorite is the second to last paragraph. <3
but this time, he turns away first.

Oh my god. Oh my god. This is not what I wanted, but what I needed to read. You've broken my heart, just when I thought that I could live without these two interfering. uhg. ♥

Interesting...with the format it's almost like shutter-clicks of a camera, capturing these moments. Nicely done.

Oh god, the angst, this pair is just made for angsty fics. This is so amazingly them, insanely gorgeous and heartbreaking at the same time. The last line killed me. <3

So nice! And very sad/bittersweet. They make me sad, break my heart, but I still wish they could be together.
