Like. Neville/Luna/Lavender are a thing and accidentally adopt Percy and in their eyes, Percy is their partner, but to Percy he's just like "my roommates are so affectionate. Pity they don't like me back"

Am I going mad or am I on to something lol

When it comes to fun Percy ship combo's I'm always down for it so i think you're on to something.

That is such a funny concept

They think he agreed to join the polycule while he's under the impression that they're all just living together to save money and in his case get his family off his back about not being social.

They all think he's just a little uptight or just wanting to go slowly that it's just new for him and he's just not there yet for a heavy level of affection. Not helped at all by him practically still showing all three of them affection in a way that they immediately take as romantic.

While he doesn't question at all when Luna's room doesn't even have a bed in it because from his perspective she's not home very often anyway so why wouldn't she just sleep in someone else's bed. So it's like why not use the extra space for something else since she has a lot of random stuff anyway.

I think Luna gets away with a lot of affection without him questioning it too much because he thinks that she's always been a little odd like that and just goes with it. Because that's my favorite breed of Luna/Percy anyway.

So to him her crawling into bed with him after coming home from a week long trip following a tip about some creature is no different to that time she swung a lemon slice over his head and tried to make him drink straight lemon juice as a first year while claiming it would get rid of the creatures causing him to be upset.

Like he's just like "She's just always been like that-"

Then of course with Lavender from his perspective she's just huggy and affectionate with everyone even though that's mostly just from who he sees her interact with the most aka her best friends and then her partners. Also again i think it's clouded a bit from remembering her a little from school because i do love paperseer with a Lavender one side crush that happened during her third year when she found out Percy likes divination and was willing to help her with stuff relating to it if she got stuck. So alot of the ways she's shows affection go over his head a bit.

I think she could say she loves him and kiss him and he'd still not think she was serious about it.

Neville to me feels very low key in general when it comes to affection (to be fair though like i said he's a character i have a hard time like getting from a writing standpoint so i might be way off) so he's not likely to be loud and bombastic about it. It's a lot more like little things that can very easily be misread as nothing.

Though I do think out of all of them if he did come out and just say it or try to kiss him then he'd be the only one that Percy would immediately like believe it and understand what's going on without him having to explain Vs thinking it's more of a lighthearted like joke when Lavender does it or just thinking it's Luna being Luna when Luna does it.

I also think Percy is very used to him blushing and stuttering around him because he used to do that all the time at Hogwarts so he just doesn't question why that is. (I'm thinking about that one deleted movie scene where Percy just has Trevor in his pocket but also how Neville always had like something happening to him and how i think it's pretty reasonable that Percy would try to check up on him from time to time and that maybe causing a bit of an effect on Neville)

(i used the first image that came up for each character)

(rules and submitted characters)

so she just looks really pretty next to Percy who tends to wear a lot of well fitted suits/robes and more old school preppy stuff over all

I was mostly looking for more stuff that was like realistic to find imo so more simplistic

so the last two are a bit of a stretch but I thought they were really really cute and they almost almost give of the vibe of Ron's dress robes in Gof to me so maybe since magic does make things easier it's not actually that difficult to get ahold of due to upcycling?

but like with the more popular options for each character im assuming im not very familiar with next-gen shipping

But every time I i see them my brains like

i wanna see what people say on Percy c: sounds fun

but like not the popular ones because Perciver would just zoom past everything else

so I thought it would be neat to do one with some of my Percy ships c: So then I decided to just exclude anything that I like that has more then 100 fics on ao3 because that made sense to me

So these 12 were the ones I came up with

out of these what do you consider the most interesting c:

I've been meaning to post all the propaganda i did for them for that Ship Battle separately because I want it be in it's own thing vs hiding in the rbs

None of this is new if you were following those but I like having it all in one place

It's just a bunch of fun concepts or reasons i think they would be cute

Ex-boyfriends older brother? Ex-BFs Older brother!! because that's always so fun and adds some cool drama

OR

on the other hand Dating your crushes little brother specifically because they are related and you have little chance with the older one

They could bond over divination, which has the added effect of Lavender probably not expecting him to like it at all so it's a nice surprise for her when he does.

Could also be used to make a Mentor/Mentee relationship that changes as the years pass

Lavender sending him letters all the time in that first year after he graduates under the guise of wanting help when in reality the poor girl just has a crush.

And Percy is Percy so having someone just want his help with something is just such an easy way for him to become fond of someone.

Something about Lavender I've begun to notice makes me want to pair her with people older than her and while Percy is still close-ish in age his personality would most likely emphasize that gap a bit which is a plus to me

I'm a firm believer in the Percy was very lost after the war concept and in a world where Lavender lives she would be too which also gives them a good jumping point

Like Lavender stays with the Weasley's after the war but with so many people in the burrow there's just too much noise for her because trauma from the war so Percy ends up inviting her to stay with him instead. Which has the added benefit of being good for both of them.

TransGirl!Percy/Lavender would be so much fun I love the concept of TransGirl!Percy with the most high fem girly pop girls I can find and Lavender is no exception to that

Ok so I'm going to add on some extra thoughts to one of the more vague concepts i shared before because its been living rent free in my head

So-

the concept of Lavender ending up staying with Percy for awhile after the war

Maybe she lost everyone in the war (by death or by being abandoned by her family you know either way) Maybe she's just having strong self hatred hours over being scarred and doesn't want them to see her.

Whatever the reason she can't/won't go home.

And Percy lets her stay with him because maybe his family pushes him into it. Maybe he just feels bad about her situation.

if its a Werewolf!Lavender situation where she was abandoned by everyone because of it maybe he just relates to that feeling and invites her because of his feelings of never being able to do enough during the war regardless of how much he had done.

Point is it happens and after a few weeks their able to help each other with things they both struggle with

Percy flat that's been borderline empty since moving in starts filling up with just stuff like obviously you know the normal house stuff he hadn't bothered with.

A couch here. A table there. but also like random stuff. Lamps. Curtains that actually look nice. Rugs. Little things just start filling the place out and Percy realizes more and more that the clutter is nice and is finally making the flat that's been the place he'd slept for years at this point actually feel like a home to him.

How does Lavender get all that stuff? I was mostly thinking odd shops personally like I always envision Percy's flat as in London so despite having not checked for the time frame. I imagine there would be quite a few shops to choose from.

Also having multiple people who are bad at taking care of themselves in general but who are decent at remembering different things in the same house. Means they can help each other with the parts they struggle with more.

In their case I do think a big one would be Percy making sure she's actually eating and Lavender trying to keep him from working to much its basic but i think it works for them.

I think Lavender dives even more into divination post war and that's what she does for like work after awhile. I also think she originally had no intention of going back to Hogwarts to redo her seventh year but Percy manages to convince her too with the promise that she can still stay with him on breaks and after she graduates/

mostly because that being a big catalyst of them realizing they have like feelings feelings after being apart is cute to me

Like Percy comes home from work every day and is just like oh- right like it's for the best and he firmly believes that but he misses the company you know?

Lavender is also having a not great time. She's no coward but that doesn't make returning to Hogwarts after everything that happened in her last year not terrible regardless. She's on high alert the whole time and can barely focus on anything because of it. Even her readings are not going as well. She keeps catching herself thinking about Percy's flat as home.

In the end I think she ends up leaving the school and just like taking her owls at a later date because she just doesn't want to deal with it.

Which also means you get Percy helping her study for it which is really cute

I'll also add all my original, more diverse thoughts I added to their first round below a read more!

We are back to just random thoughts because I don't think I have enough of any specific concept to talk too long

So- Lavender while doing a divination reading seeing that her last love will have red hair and during this time she's still with Ron and as any girl her age just assumes that's who the sight is telling her about

she doesn't really think about it to to much after they break up until she's laying on the cold ground assuming she's not going to make it and then its all

ah- last love because it's my only real chance of it

But then you know in this scenario she does manage to make it somehow

maybe someone is able to stop fast enough to put a statis spell on her or something

Oh a soulmate au where you can save you're soulmate from certain death one single time even if they're technically already gone? that could be fun with them Like maybe as everyone's gathering up the rest of the dead after Voldy's gone and Percy's throwing himself into helping to try not to think about Fred too much and after carrying her for a minute she just wakes up that would really neat

Plus now all i can think about is everyone in the school touching legit everyone that died

you know just in case

just everyone going in a circle and holding every corpses hand for a few moments

could be used as a set up for a lot of interesting ships ngl

Anyway back to the topic at hand

In a scenario where most of the Weasley's hadn't seen much of Lavender after the war just imagine how funny that first time Percy brings her over would be

(I fully thought I’d already posted this, turns out my queue was paused that whole time. just a reminder that these ships are randomly generated from a pool of 64 characters and voted on by the fans. we’re not here to debate dark ships, we’re here for fun.)

Luna Lovegood x Penelope Clearwater (Lovewater)

Lavender Brown x Percy Weasley (Paperseer)

(rules and submitted characters)

(round one ships)

(round two ships)

(round three ships)

39. When and how did they admit that they loved each other? If they haven’t yet, why?

paperseer!

Oh! In the one scenario i really like them in where it's the whole she stays with Percy post war thing

I think it happened for Lavender after she tried to go back to Hogwarts for her 8th year and hated it

too much noise to many memories and no red head trying to comfort her when she wakes up in the middle of the night thinking she's under Greyback again

point is it sucks she hates it and she cries when he agrees to just tutor her at home for her newts and she stays glued to him as much as she can when he's not at work and I think it just comes out one night after he comes home they are having their millionth heart to heart emotions are high but not in a bad way and I think she goes to say thank you and ends up locking eyes with him and just says

i think i'm in love with you

without really thinking about it

and Percy doesn't take it seriously he's just kinda like

oh she is so tired she's so not thinking obviously she can't be in love with me she just enjoys the comfort and is clinging to it

its fine this is fine

I don't love her I barely know her

sure I missed having her around and sure I feel like i can finally breath again now that she's back but that doesn't mean anything
