You’re not annoying me at all, Anon! 😀
Thought I’m super frustrated because I’ve read one very long fic that
has Ron searching for Harry, who has amnesia and ran away to America
(and is gay but nobody knew that) and Ron realizes he’s in love with
Harry and the fic has about 30 chapters and it’s on FFN but I can’t find
it!! x_x
Sooo… I didn’t find that many long fics but I can give you a long list of them if you want?
Beautiful Friend
It took six years for Harry to learn something in History of Magic. This one. Oh my lord this one… it’s short, but it’s amazing. It’s full of lovely lively details and Harry’s description of Ron is… aaaww.
Life Drawing
Dean watches, and sees something unexpected. Again, the descriptions! My lord the descriptions, and also you will relate very much to Dean if you’ve ever worked with pencils.
Harry has no idea how to tell his best friend he wants more that
friendship. He’s pretty sure this would be hell of a lot easier if he
knew for sure how Ron felt about him. This one is plenty cute. Ron is adorable and Harry… Harry’s trying his best. :’D
Our Inner Beasts Later, Madam Pomfrey would tell them that both Bill and Ron were going
to survive. But she had no idea what the effects of a werewolf bite,
when the werewolf was still in human form, could do to their behavior. Okay, who’s up for writing more Creature!Ron fics? Seriously. Someone do some more of those. Here we have Ron as a werewolf, aggressive, feral, self-loathing… doesn’t matter, Harry loves him.
Running with the Wolf, Loving the Man snapshots of Harry Potter’s life with a werewolf boyfriend Follow-up of Our Inner Beasts. Someone heard our prayers and gave us more Werewolf!Ron, and it’s as wonderful as it sounds.
What Happened That’s just the thing, though. He doesn’t know what happened. He
can’t pinpoint a single event where everything suddenly made sense.
There was no epiphany or choir of angels or aligning of stars, or any of
the other rubbish Parvarti goes on about in the Great Hall. There’s no
one moment when he realized, “Oh.” Ron and Harry’s friendship, only it’s not just friendship. The last line will make you want to put on some epic music.
Follow The Butterflies “Why did it have to be spiders?” Ron moaned. “Why couldn’t we follow the butterflies?” Harry
privately agreed with his best friend, but if there was anything
Hogwarts had taught him, then that if he didn’t do something, no one
would. “I promise the next time we have to follow anything, it will be
butterflies.” Harry and Ron’s friendship again, with more butterflies thrown in the mix. It’s just as perfect as it sounds. If you don’t ship Harry/Ron, this fanfic might just change your mind.
Sonnets of Magical Interference Harry receives some strange notes about his love life, or lack thereof. By the end of that fic, you might just cheer for a very controversial character.
Heaven Harry’s heaven includes Ron. Features Ron being emotional over a movie, Chinese takeout, and Harry being a sap. What more could you ask for?
Harry Potter And The World That Went Bloody Insane “I know something you don’t know” is, apparently, the essence of Harry
Potter’s love life. Harry’s certain that the world has been reading one
too many romance novels, but then, Harry’s always been a bit oblivious.
Featuring Protective!Attentive!Caring!Ron and Oblivious!Harry in their stinky flat and everyone shipping Harry/Ron. It’s awesome.
Check Mate Harry questions his dreams, Ron has a scary one of his own, Hermione and Cho plot, and Seamus and Dean obsess.
Harry’s subconscious has lots of funny ideas. Ron is ridiculously cute. Might be a bit difficult to read because of FFN’s shitty formating for line breaks.
On The Outside Harry doesn’t think there’s much point to his being gay. He can’t have
regular sex, he can’t have children, and he can’t tell his best friend
he’s in love with him. Ron is utterly adorable, do I really have to say it? Why, yes, yes I do.
Newton’s Law For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
Check out this author’s other Harry/Ron fics. I especially like Brass Ring; in the meantime, have a rather in-character reaction of Hermione and Ginny finding out about their ex-boyfriends dating. Hey, not my fault if JKR doesn’t know how to write strong female characters without making them abusive.
Sleeping Beauty The most gen ever retelling of Sleeping Beauty. Who cares if it’s gen, it’s amazing. Harry sleeps, Ron is wonderful, and ants get colorful.
The Complexities Of Muggle Machinery Harry bought a refrigerator. Then it was a microwave. Then a blender.
Thursday was the coffee brewer. Ron really liked that last one. Ron is absolutely, heart-stoppingly, adorably cute and pretty much just like I imagine him to be around Muggle things. Harry’s lucky.
After the cupcakes They never really talked about it but they are each other’s world. And
perhaps a lazy Sunday morning is as good a time as any to finally say
something. Utterly sappy and fluffy and you know me, I was mostly there for Harry’s description of Ron. It didn’t disappoint.
Sing Your Love Throughout the years they’ve lived together, Harry has always enjoyed
Ron’s singing but lately he’s been picking up hidden messages in his
flatmate’s song choices. Do you like Ron singing? Do you like Ron dancing? Do you like Ron crying his heart out over an emotionally oblivious Harry? Well in that case you’ve found the perfect fic!
Snakes & Ladders After the
final battle with Voldemort, Harry intends to get on with his life.
There’s just one problem; he was supposed to have died when he
confronted Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest and now the Other Side is
trying to collect him. But in the space between his ‘death’ and the
victory celebrations, Harry’s fallen in love… and he’s not going to
give up his second chance without a fight. A complicated premise, a complicated tale, a very worried Ron, a very determined Harry, an entirely unwelcome Severus Snape coming from beyond the Veil, all leading up to an epic confrontation in the Other Side. Who knew the afterlife had a court?
Now, it’s time for… TEH SMUT! D: Every story below this text will have MATURE CONTENT. Shoo, children, shoo!
Partners (last chapter gets NSFW) What if the girls hadn’t come in just then? What course of action would
Harry, in his desperate frame of mind, have latched onto instead? This fanfic made one of my most desperate wishes come true. For those who don’t know me, I’ll just tell you that Cinderella isn’t a matter of gender.
Scars (warning: mentions of self-harm) Ron is embarrassed of his scars, and Harry might be able to help. Ron
is his terribly self-loathing self, but at least Harry is there to
remind him of what we Ron-lovers know: that he’s loved and beautiful.
The Matchmaker (contains sexual mention) Sir Nicholas has never had a couple like these two…
Nearly-Headless Nick ships Harry and Ron. So does the entire Gryffindor House. All in all, just what we need.
Exploring The Spectrum (NSFW at the end) Ron wakes up to find he can only see in a single colour.
Very interesting mystery and clever use of a forgotten plot point. The resolution is basically “sex solves everything” but otherwise it’s a great story.
Hug! Hug! Kiss! (second-to-last drabble is NSFW) Ron loses Harry in a foreign land. In other words, Harry accidentally joins a Japanese boy band. This story is ridiculous, confusing, crazy, and absolutely hilarious. No existing celebrities were harmed.
Just Another Teenage Epoch – Ron Weasley, 1999 (NSFW at the end) Ron wants to be an Auror, and he wants to not grow up, and he really wants other people to stop kissing Harry. The classic mistletoe tale! Ron is not amused at all. It’s okay, we’re rooting for him (and Harry is, too).
Trapped in Winter(NSFW at the end) Harry and Ron have an argument. When Ron goes to storm out of the room,
he’s frozen in time, and when Harry touches him to see what’s the
matter, they’re both transported to a snowy winter wonderland. A surprising premise that leads to a confused, hurt Ron and a tight-lipped Harry, and of course, to Harry/Ron. Pretty nice!
That We Might Be Exactly Like We Were (warning: graphic self-harm, realistic depression, themes of suicide) ‘Everything just takes me back, to when you were there…’ This author pretty much nails what depression is like. She also has several other Harry/Ron fanfics that are written just as expertly as this one, but be forewarned, they tend to deal with very upsetting topics as well. Sadly, I could see her version of Ron existing in the canon we know.
Slow Slide (get out) to a Better Place (warning: abuse and r*pe) Harry told himself that everything was fine in his relationship with
Ginny, at least until he couldn’t lie to himself anymore. And by then,
he thought it might be too late. Fortunately, he has two very good
friends who will always be there for him, one of whom might eventually
be something more. Downside: Ginny fans should NOT read this story. Upside: contains Vivi’s most beloved ship, Romione + Ronarry.
Prelude and Fugue (NSFW in the middle) It took over an hour, from the time Harry arrived at work, for him to realise just how different today actually was.
The “Groundhog Day” loop is wonderfully done, you can actually feel the weariness building as Harry wakes up and notices it’s still Monday, bloody Monday.
And Ron is absolutely adorable – yes, I’ll say it every time!
Princes of Maine (NSFW at the end) Harry wakes one morning to find an abandoned baby on his doorstep.
Little does he know that this is only the beginning of his most
challenging adventure yet: parenthood. You want Harry as a single parent and not knowing anything about babies? You have it. You want Ron as a competent Healer who’s sick of Harry’s shit and determined to get answers as to why his best mate is a wreck? You have it. You want Harry/Ron? What are you waiting for, dive in!
The fact that the books has like 2944383883883 romione and rarry moments that I never got to see on screen is messed up. Where is the scene where Hermione kisses Ron’s cheek? Where is my “Hermione, I love you” scene? Where is that scene where Hermione hugs Ron while He awkwardly pats her on the head? Where is the scene where Hermione kind of asks Ron to the Slughorn party and Harry awkwardly stands there wishing he was anywhere but there. Where is the scene where Ron offers to teach Hermione his whole family tree to protect her? Where is the scene where he offers himself to one of the most dangerous deatheaters just so Hermione survives? Where is the scene where Harry says that he loves Hermione like a sister? Where are the scenes of Ron putting his arm around Hermione to comfort her? Where is the scene where Ron asks Hermione to dance with him because he learned from their fourth year? Where is all the scenes where Ron was the cutest and most supportive friend? Where is the scene where’s Ron Weasley helps Harry to dress? Where is the scene where Ron stands up on his broken leg to protect his best friend? Where’s my Rarry hug after Ron came back? Where are all the scenes where Ron was so freaking charming and so funny that I had to put the book down to take in how much I love this kid? Where is all the scenes where Ron and Harry where being the best friends they’re? Where is the scenes where Ron was the thing that Harry will miss the most? Where is the scenes of Ron being a great emotional support for Harry and knows when to tell Hermione to stop nagging Harry? Where is the scene where Ron notices the “I must not tell lies” scar then telling harry that he needs to report it?
I could go on and on about this f*ckery. Ron, Harry and Hermione deserved better than the movies. JK how could you let Steves and Yates ruin your books??? Can’t believe you even let them ruin your understanding of the characters.
After the second
Triwizard task, rumours start circulating around Hogwarts that Ron and Harry
are a couple (‘the person Harry would
miss most’…)
Hermione gets
told this rumour by Lavender and Parvati, who keep giggling whenever they see
Harry and Ron together
Hermione is a
little flustered by this, and, while she tries not to pay the rumour much
attention, she starts reading too much into little interactions between her two
friends
Like how Ron
claps Harry on the back occasionally…
Or how Harry
gives Ron a little grin after Ron tells an especially funny joke
Hermione is
confused, a little offended (why didn’t
they tell her?) and also somewhat jealous (after all, she’s fancied Ron
since she was thirteen)
She wrestles
with this jealousy for a few weeks, and can’t help but feel her stomach burn
with anger everytime Ron shows Harry some attention
Harry starts to
get concerned, and asks Ron whether he thinks Harry’s done anything to anger
Hermione
Ron is just as
baffled as Harry
However, during
a quiet evening in the Gryffindor common-room (after Harry goes up early to
bed), Ron asks Hermione why’s she so angry at Harry
Hermione
blushes, and asks Ron why neither him or Harry told her they were dating
Ron’s mouth
drops open, and he starts laughing
Hermione is
confused, and demands to know what he finds so funny (Is he messing with her?)
No, Hermione,
Ron says, his mouth still quivering with suppressed laughter, Harry’s my best mate and all, but we don’t
see each-other like THAT…
Hermione can’t
help but feel her heart grow three sizes with relief
Oh thank
goodness, she says happily
Ron stops
laughing, and raises an eyebrow
Hermione’s face
flushes again, and she looks down at her feet
Hermione,
Ron asks, moving closer to her, why does
the idea of me and Harry dating bother you so much?
She can feel the
redheads gaze upon her. Hermione’s heart begins to beat very fast
I…I….I don’t…she
stammers. Ron’s face is directly in front of her now.
Before she realises what he is doing, Ron
tucks a strand of her bushy hair behind her ear. Goosebumps appear on Hermione’s
neck
Ron cups her
face in one of his hands, and brings her lips to his
Hermione’s brain
feels like it is disintegrating. What on
earth is happening? Ron is KISSING me! Oh my…does Ron…does he feel the same-?
Ron pulls away,
and smiled at Hermione. His usual lop-sided smile that makes her heart flutter
I don’t know about me and Harry, Ron breaths, as he strokes her cheek, but I know which of my best friends I’d
rather be with…
i’ve always loved ron and harry’s friendship and I felt like it was very underappreciated in the fandom. like, remember when romione shippers loved harry and hermione’s friendship? yeah me neither. I used to get so much shit for not buying the whole “harry and hermione are bffs” nonsense so I am l i v i n g for all the ronarry love. it took me a while to start loving romantic!ronarry but right after romione, ron/harry is the relationship that I love the most so I thought, “huh…might as well start shipping it. wait, it’s going to annoy the dr*rry and h*rmione shippers? It’s my otp now.”
idk which type of romione shipper I am. maybe the “romione shipper who is critical of her ship, with a healthy dose of ronarry love and spoonfuls of hermione criticism”?? yeah that’s probably it.
my favourite golden trio moments?
When Hermione was “asking Ron out” to Slughorn’s party and Harry was being an awkward third-wheel. Hilarious.
When they became friends. So sweet.
When they worked together to escape from the Devil’s snare. Hermione knowing the theory. Harry telling her to light a fire. Ron reminding her panicking arse that she was a witch.
Thanks for the ask. 🙂
“Romione shipper who is critical of her ship, with a healthy dose of Ronarry love and spoonfuls of Hermione criticism”
Sounds like a very good description of most of the people in our corner of the HP fandom.
Honest Trailer guy (describing the eleventh doctor): Harry and Ron at the same time.
Me: AKA “Luna Lovegood’s post-Hogwarts sleeping arrangements”.
Me: …
Me: Why am I like this? I’m a Romione shipper, for goodness’ sake…
