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:

I don't ship Harry/Ron at all (outside of FRIENDship), but thiiiis story. You've captured all of the understated ways Ron is just so vital to Harry. That Harry relies on Ron's humour is often pointed out, but how Ron is a gateway to all these things Harry never knew before, I've never seen explored before this.

no one else will have him, you understand. (Harry understands.)

And Harry-Ron parallels are love.

But Ron is the first: the one who proves that it’s possible, even after a childhood without. Ron breaks the ice; breaks the dam. It comes pouring out.
Harry didn’t think he had it -- so much -- in him.

I love this so much. That Ron was Harry's first friend (and first time he really experienced even platonic love) is just so important.

I'd quote more lines, but then I'd just be copy-pasting the entire fic. So some other points I really loved:

- the style of the piece. This progression of what the future holds, the listing of all these impressive things and many people, and the end where Ron's is mentioned because he's the first in so many ways. I just love the beauty and simplicity in each section.

- the entire last section that made me want to hug Harry because he's alone without his Ron, because stupid boys who care so much about each other but are stupid nonetheless.

- Finally he chokes out a reply, far too inadequate to encompass the swelling inside his chest. YES, I QUOTE MORE LINES. But really, this is how I feel, because Ron hatred just makes me so sad, and the friendship of these two boys is much too under-rated in canon.

Sappiness is the BEST. And it's not really sappy, it's just lovely and poignant.

I don't really ship-ship Harry/Ron either, but this prompt was too good to resist. I'm so glad my depiction of their relationship worked for you.

That Ron was Harry's first friend (and first time he really experienced even platonic love) is just so important.

WORD. Say no to Ron hate, basically.

And thank you so much, man. Your comments always bowl me over. You are far too kind. ♥
