Ficlet: Sunday Morning News

[hazel_wand]

birdsofshore is unwittingly to blame for this. She wrote a fab little reaction to the recent JKR news. Anyway, I started wondering what Ron might think of it all, and this is what happened.

Warning: this is epilogue compliant, R/Hr and mentions of H/G.
Warning the second: this was typed into my phone and has not been beta read.

Ah, this is amazing! I think JKR may have lost sight of her characters, to be honest. It's been seven years since she finished them, maybe she should reread the series ;)

I love your Ron <3

Thanks, lovey. It was nice to write Ron again. It's been a while. He's such a great character and with lots of potential to mature into such a spectacular human being. I don't think he deserves any of the bashing. I urge you to google Sideick from A Very Potter Senior Year by StarKid.

Awwww. I love your Ron. He shines here! <333

Thanks. I love Ron - it always saddens me to see him badmouthed. I really like that there is a lot of supportive!Ron in the newer H/D fics.

[capitu]

Me too! One of the things that this whole thing brought up from my flist was their love for Ron. <3

[birdsofshore]

YES! I LOVE THIS! ALL THE YES!

This is everything that I have been thinking since Saturday. Hermione and Ron are love. I notice no-one has been questioning whether SHE would make RON happy? GAH. So annoyed at the Ron bashing. Thank you for this. And yay for unbetaed fics written on phones, LOL.

Thanks! I love Ron - always have. He's the most real of the trio in my eyes. It's true, most people seem to love Hermione and think that Ron isn't good enough for her - although I think Ron probably feels the same! But I love their relationship - It's the best-crafted romantic relationship of the stories. I think people don't see past the bickering, which I always read as being a teenager and also being affected more by the person you like/fancy/love than you are by others. I love the number of nature, developed, supportive Ron side characters there are in more recent H/D stories.

Lol, this was a wonderful little companion piece to the fic Birds wrote. Like, these fics should be BFFs and go skipping off into the sunset together. I love Ron and Hermione so much, and your portrayal of them made me laugh. Oh, and the last line about the Howler Ginny will send... She grew up with six older brothers. That's one girl I really wouldn't want to mess with.

Oh thank you! Lol at the image of skipping sunset ficlets. I love Ron and Hermione - they were my first ship PURELY because the groundwork for their relationship was being laid in canon. Glad I could make you laugh.
