[Meme] Dysfunctional shipping.

So, so bored. So writer blocked. So sleepy.

Give me a pairing and I'll give you a way it could be spectacularly dysfunctional.

Ron/Hermione. Or Remus/Sirius.

For OTPs, they're surprisingly easy to twist. Particularly Remus/Sirius. Not sure what that says about me.

Ron/Hermione:

No, it's not that he doesn't trust her. Maybe he doesn't trust himself. Because, well, yes, maybe she is too good for him.

Maybe someday she's going to realise that and move on, and Ron will be standing there gaping like a big lump.

The only person Ron could talk about it and who would understand is Neville, because Harry still thinks when he said 'she's like a sister to me' he put all of Ron's worries to sleep, Ginny wouldn't get it, and Luna is nice and all, but... And it's not like Ron can ask his brothers. Not about Hermione.

So that'd leave Neville, except Ron is uneasy telling him about that, because - he'd have burst something laughing when he was eleven if someone had told him that, but Neville has grown up good. He's a hero now. He has admirers.

And Ron isn't sure Neville doesn't like Hermione. Didn't like her once, at least.

And Hermione?

Well, Hermione is bound to get more annoyed than usual at his foolishness, someday.


Remus/Sirius:

Sirius picks up fights about any little thing, except that which he really means.

Remus only retreats into himself, and at some point he might just up and leave.

So Sirius continues. If Remus lashed out, at least he'd have a warning.
