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 just once. It’s the night before the fifteenth anniversary of the war and both of your families have gone to the Burrow. It’s a Weasley tradition, this gathering, but you and Harry have your own traditions as well. On the day of the anniversary you are public heroes and you make all of the proper appearances, say all of the proper things, lay all of the proper flowers on the (too) many graves. But the eve of the anniversary is just for you. Just for the two of you.

“Fifteen years,” you muse quietly as you pull down a mug from the cupboard. “It seems like only yesterday.”

When you turn around Harry is standing mere inches from you, his eyes unreadable. You open your mouth to say his name but it dies on your lips as he takes another step forward, pressing your back against the countertop. His lips hover mere inches from yours, and the world feels upside down and (finally) right-side up all at once.

“Why now?” you manage to choke out after a moment, the time for pretenses and pretending long past.

“Because we are fools, Hermione,” he whispers, his eyes pained. “Because time is making fools of us.”

Then he is crushing his lips against yours and your fingers are weaving through his hair and you are both desperate (so desperate) to claim each other’s flesh as your own that it makes your bones ache. His lips and hands are everywhere as you shudder against him, your own hands pulling him closer with every ragged breath. It is passionate and frenzied and perfect.

It is over far too soon.

As you struggle to catch your breath you find yourself wishing for some sort of evidence of his hands on your skin -- some sort of mark. Your eyes are frantically (illogically) traveling over your unblemished flesh in disbelief when Harry speaks, his voice achingly tender.

“We could have been extraordinary,” he says, pressing one last kiss against your lips.

(You’ve got scars that the whole world can see. But this one is only for the two of you.)

I'm so glad you like it! I adored the prompt -- the whole idea of scars really sort of grabbed me.

This is outstanding. Just gorgeous and wonderful.

I can see it as canon that Harry is there when Hermione first gives birth, not Ron.

My favorite line nearly stopped my heart.
You wonder if someday you will die for this boy who lived. They will bury you in satin, you think, and your scars will bear a silent witness that you were, perhaps, in love with an impossible boy who (somehow) taught you so much more than books ever could.

Thank you so much! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. I'm also pretty partial to that section that you highlighted. <33333

With every stretch of the imagination I do not like Second Person POV but this? This? THIS?! Holy... *runs out of words*
From: [identity profile] poppypickle.livejournal.com
LOL, I also generally don't care for 2nd person fic, but I figured that it was a ficathon so I might as well try something different. And the voice of Hermione Granger is a bit bossy, I suppose. ;-)

But thank you so much for reading. I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. <3

This is really, really gorgeous. Loved the second person (very difficult to pull off and you did it really well). The last 3 sentences are perfect.

I really need some tent scene icons, especially one (if such a frame exists) of Harry with his eyes closed and looking like This is how it should be as he dances with Hermione.

Thanks so much for reading and commenting! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. <333

And yes, I need tent scene icons as well. Like WHOA. Tell me if you find a tent icon bonanzo somewhere...

Guh! So beautiful.

(it feels, for a moment, as if you’ve used a time-turner to go back and right all of your life’s wrongs)

Don't you wish you could?

“We could have been extraordinary,” he says, pressing one last kiss against your lips.

They would have been.
