operatingroomHarry 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:
For text link:
In the image code box, you can use any of the banners below or the lead banner at the top of the post.

Harry/Hermione - Choices - Part 1/2
Date: 2010-12-06 06:28 pm (UTC)He’d long ago given that up.
He wasn’t expecting the lunch crowd for another half hour, so he was surprised that only minutes after he opened the pub, a young woman walked in. She paused just inside the door, staring at him.
“Of all the gin joints in all the cities of the world, she walks into mine,” he said softly, quoting one of her favorite movies. Her lips quirked, though she still seemed slightly hesitant.
“Hermione,” he whispered. “What are you doing here?”
“Did you think I’d never come to find you, Harry?” she asked, finally moving through the room. She slid onto the stool across the bar from him.
“It’s been three years,” he pointed out, but then he smiled at her. “It’s really good to see you,” he said, really meaning it.
“I’ve missed you.” She reached across the bar, laid her hand over his. “How have you been, and how did you end up in Canada?”
Harry chuckled. “That’s a long story. Let me make a call, see if I can get someone in to cover the day shift for me, and I’ll tell you all about it.”
With Marie covering for him, Harry donned his winter coat and scarf and left his pub with Hermione.
“I don’t live far from here,” he commented. “Unless you’d rather go somewhere else.”
“Oh, no, your place is fine. I’m just really glad I found you. I hope you’re not upset.” Hermione glanced up sideways at him as they walked.
“Of course I’m not mad,” he said, grinning at her and slinging an arm over her shoulders. He squeezed her lightly in a sideways hug. “I’m honestly surprised it took you so long.”
“It wouldn’t have,” she admitted as they reached his building. As he led her up two flights of stairs to the floor his flat was on, she continued, “After a couple months, I did start looking for you. I couldn’t stay away long, though, because of my job.”
Harry opened his door and led her into his small, sparse flat. “Understandable. Would you like something to drink?” he offered.
“Harry, you don’t need to be so…” she trailed off, seemed to reconsider what she was going to say. “No, thank you.”
“Ah, all right,” he murmured as he pulled off his scarf and coat, hanging them on the hook next to the door. He shoved his hands in the pockets of his jeans, feeling slightly awkward for the first time since seeing her in his pub. “I suppose we should sit, catch up, then.”
“Right, yes,” Hermione agreed. She smiled reassuringly at him as she moved to sit on one of his couches. “As I was saying, I did start looking for you. Not long after that, we all started receiving your letters. As happy as I was to hear from you, I was still so angry with you for being silent for so long.”
Harry ducked his head. “I’m sorry for that. I just… I needed to get away, from everything, everyone. I needed to put that life behind me, try to start new.”
“I understand that now. Ginny was the one who convinced me to stop looking for a while, to give you the space you needed. She married Neville last year, did you hear?” Hermione asked.
“I did,” Harry told her. “She sent me a picture.” He motioned to a wall, where there was a collage of pictures, including one of Ginny and Neville’s wedding pictures.
Her eyes were drawn to another picture, one of her, Harry, and Ron taken at the beginning of their second year at Hogwarts. Things had been complicated even back then, even if they hadn’t realized it yet, but they’d managed to get through it all. Together. She couldn’t understand what changed.
Harry/Hermione - Choices - Part 2/2
Date: 2010-12-06 06:28 pm (UTC)“You needed to leave it all behind, I understand that, Harry,” she whispered, her arms wrapping around her middle, not looking away from the pictures. “But how could you leave everyone - how could you leave me? I needed you.”
“You had Ron,” Harry whispered, as though that explained everything.
Her eyes filled with tears, and she shook her head. “No, I didn’t. I thought I did for about a minute, but I didn’t.”
“But… You kissed him. You chose him,” Harry insisted, as though that fact were vital.
“There was a time,” she whispered, “when I thought Ron and I were bound to end up together. We gave a relationship a try, but it never felt right. And then you left, and it hurt us both, Harry. Our already strained relationship fell apart then, and it was better that it did. I think he knew that without you, I couldn’t be happy.”
“Hermione.” She felt his breath, the whisper of it against her ear. He turned her around, lifted a hand, brushing his fingertips over her cheek. “I’m sorry I hurt you.” He leaned down, brushed his lips against her forehead, kissed her eyelids when they slipped closed, trailed his lips over her face in a series of light kisses. Finally, his lips swept over hers, lightly, testing.
“It was easy to convince myself that you and Ron would be happier without me around,” he admitted. “And as time passed and neither of you came after me, it was too easy to stay away.”
Hermione let out a choked laugh. “Oh Harry! You don’t always have to be the hero,” she said. She framed his face and kissed him, then, showing him how very much she wanted him in her life, telling him without words that she needed him. He kissed her back, so giving and generous as she’d somehow always known he would be.
“Harry,” she breathed when his lips broke away from hers, moved down her neck.
“Yes, Hermione?” he murmured against the tender skin where neck met shoulder.
“I choose you,” she whispered, pressing against him intimately.
He pulled back to look at her, grinning. “Well, then, I’d say that makes me a very lucky man.”
