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.
They're all uploaded to tinypic, so you can just copy/paste the source code:

james/narcissa; turn me into somebody loved (3/3)
Date: 2010-12-15 02:17 am (UTC)“narcissist.”
“i thought i told you not to call me that. i mean, it’s the end of sixth year. really, james?”
(but in truth –)
“it’s catchy.”
“it’s immature.”
“ciss. cissa,” he tries out. she wrinkles her nose.
“that’s what bella calls me.”
“oh. uh.” pause. “it isn’t my fault your name has too many syllables.”
“too hard for you, potter?”
he stops, grabbing her elbow and bringing her to a stop. she stumbles. “what –” she begins, scowling, but suddenly he is very, very close, so close that she can feel his breath fanning over her cheek.
(– she doesn’t want him to stop.)
“tell me to give up on you.”
she tries to break away, but he won’t let her. it’s the first time she hasn’t been able to walk away. (he’d said he loved her, but she knew – she knew by the look in his eyes that he didn’t, not in the way she wanted him to. not in the way he loved her.) narcissa turns her head sharply, long blonde hair falling over her shoulders. her book bag falls to her feet. “why?”
his fingers tighten. “because you’re – you’re getting married. after grad.”
she tries to jerk her arm back, twice.
“and you’re in love with –” he lets her go before she can say the name.
.
seventh year.
he has not visited their place in a long, long time now. she gave up after two weeks.
(and maybe the looks he gave her across the great hall had meant something. maybe the times he kissed her might have meant more than just a flimsy, not-relationship. maybe he did – does – love her, in his own way. because she was first.)
.
“i miss you,” her breath is harsh, eyes squeezed shut, and it is very, very unlike her to be so disorganised and without composure but – but she cannot move on without him knowing this.
(it is not love. no; but it is a visceral ache in the depths of her ribs, running along her veins and shattering her bones, and she misses him – the boy with the beautiful smile; the boy that taught her how to laugh; the boy that called her narcissist; the boy that loved her.
but he is long gone.)
he stares at her. “black,” he begins, but the girl with red hair calls his name from around the corner and he is gone.
.
“tell me to give up on you,” she says later, in the hallway when it’s just him and her. narcissa tips her chin up, the very image of composure, and waits to see if he plays along.
he does. “why?”
“because there’s been talk of a war.” she exhales, a shaky gust of air that rattles her. her fingers tremble. “because i’m getting married.” takes a step forward. “because i’m scared.”
he kisses her, then, as if they were hidden away from the world, his knuckles trailing along her jaw, and she can’t help but smirk a little, because she’s taught him well. “give up on me,” he breathes, and releases her.
.
later, she will marry a man she does not quite love and give her firstborn child a name that means nothing to her.
(but she still breaks at the thought of metaphorical apples.)
