Flame and Shadow
Characters/Pairings: Ron/Pansy, past Ron/Hermione, past Ron/OC, past Pansy/Draco, Harry/male!OC
Warnings: Non-romantic het sex. One night stands. Swearing. I wouldn’t rec this for anyone under 18.
Summary: Sometimes, the best relationships come from one that was never romantic.
Comments: I saw the pairings, and kind of boggled (only kind of, because let’s face it. In a fandom where I personally have read Harry/Giant squid and Draco/Giant Squid in the same fic, Ron/Pansy is nothing.) But I gave it a chance because god knows I haven’t been finding much in my other fandoms lately, and it was well-written and interesting. I like the continual contrast between Hermione, who’s everything Ron expected a girlfriend to be - prim, proper, organized - and, well, Pansy. Pansy, who gets drunk, has one-night stands, swears, is messier than Ron. Ron doesn’t have any illusions about Pansy, nor her about him, and it’s just an oddly well-balanced relationship that I enjoyed.
One-shot, complete.
