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:

Re: harry/hermione - my heart is holding onto you

I agree. Before the epilogue Deathly Hallows was doing just fine and being absolutely wonderful and I was in love. Still am in love. But that epilogue is out of place. It shits on Harry and Hermione and the connection and relationship they have. It shits on all the characters. They are more complex than they are shown to be there. They are better than that. Why does it exist? Why? Even as a snapshot of one particular moment in their lives it does not work because it presents itself as a summary of these people's lives post-war. Which, no. No no no. I hate it so much. Kills the fandom and disrespects the readers and the characters. No no no. DO not want.

IT IS PERFECT. YOU SHOULD BE PROUD. Ginevra does not have a happy existence, there is no way. And I can see she and Ron having those conversations so clearly because while the trio is my ship numero uno, Harry/Hermione is where I (heavily heavily) lean. That article explains why so well. It is perfect. Their love, whether you want to call it platonic or romantic or whatever, really is different (which is how I see the trio functioning as a unit, too). It is greater and more real and pure and important than anything else. They are wonderful. And my mother and I had a conversation and she just kept asking what Hermione sees in Ron. And I could respond with his humor and his heart, but it doesn't really compare to what she sees in Harry. It is not the same, thus the leaning, Because she and Harry just work on this different level, as you said. And it is so obvious and what are they but their own. They put hearts in my eyes. Need to reread the books, need to reread ootp.

haha omg. That is the greatest fb default I think I have ever seen. I am glad you regret nothing.
