I love Canon Ron but Fanon Ron is the worst. This is a great fanfic.

I hope you look back on this and regret it.

Couples can be broken up without bashing and shitting on the partners. Not to mention this is double-edged, because getting and staying together with people they were NEVER even attracted to and NEVER trusted (let alone the 'leading someone on while I have been pining for someone else all along'-thing) says more less than flattering things about the idealized victims' intelligence and morality than their spouses.

The characterisation is wrong, the plot was ridiculous.

Well this was godawful and made me want to stab my eyes out and I don't understand either why you would do this nor why you would go out of your way to be a dick about it when it was pointed out you were way out of character nicely the first few times.

This fic is gross and it made me need a shower.

Really, why can't people just write a positive story about their favorite ship instead of stuff like this? Is it really so hard to justify Harry x Hermione that you have to make the into monsters?

Harry Potter fanfic clichés found in this story.
1: Abusive Ron
2: Slutty Ginny
3: Meek and submissive Hermione
4: Unrealistically perfect love between Harry and Hermione
5: Any use of the endearment "'Mione"
6: Double standards for protagonists.
7: Incredibly rich Harry.
8: Pretentious main characters.
9: Sexual relationships portrayed as evil, chaste relationships portrayed as good.
10: Saintly Hermione
11: Begging for/demanding reviews
12: Insulting anyone who criticizes the story
13: Shitting on Dumbledore
14: The magical world is basically Saudi Arabia
15: Songfic
16: Purple prose
17: Not only is Harry and Hermione's love unspeakably pure, it is the greatest love ever to exist, transcending all other loves.
Did I miss anything?

On a scale of The Shadow God to Atlas Shrugged , I would give this a Mein Kampf, Or-"No loving god would ever allow it to exist. I would say may god have mercy on your soul, but that would mean this attrocity was allowed to exist without any balance."

You say they're the way there were in canon? HAHAHAHAHAHA! That's a real laugh! That is the most real, authentic, hysterical laugh of my entire life because that is not true! Guardians Of The Galaxy joke aside, maybe YOU should be the one to look back in the books because they do NOT behave like that in canon.

I don't wanna sound mean here, but when someone says something like that, it really grinds my gears. I will not say "Keep up the awesome/great/good work!" because to me, this isn't a good story. Instead, I'll say "Have a nice day" and hope you reread canon and take back that "canon whores" comment.

I really hate when a good story is never heard from again!

Pls update

Okay, I've read it all the way through, and the first three chapters, good. The only thing that puzzles me is why Hermione hadn't done something about the situation long before. Not necessarily killing Ron, biut if anyone could figure out a way of casting an undetctable compulsion spell or potioning him to neuter his anad his rages, it would be Hermione. She is somewhat out of characyter in that she should have resisted long before, and as a witch who's both more skilled and probably morepowerful, she should have been able to resist.

Ginny Weasley, like Ron, I can see her falling into the same traps, and for the same reasons. Though going to the Malfoys' party is stretching it. She is unfaithful in the books, jealous, and has a wicked temper. I can see her going to seed like Molly Weasley too.

However, the last two chapters are of decreasing quality. The reunion felt too neat. Ther should have been more made of the fact that Hermione murdered Ron. More comfort, more worrying about the consequences, possibly the Aurors hunting Hermione. But the fourth chpter workedforwhat it was, a reconciliation and renewal.

This final chapter however feels like something of a big lipped alligator moment. The yacht comes out of nowhere and does wierd things for no apparaent reason. I assume you were going for something like a sea-going Knight Bus, and in that you succeeded, but it just seems so random. But having a crew as well? Why would Harry involve other people when there's sure to be people looking for them. Do Magical France and Magcial Britain have an exteradition treaty? Hermione will be wanted for murder.

If you wanted to get to France under the radar, use a muggle speed boat with a few chams on it and destroy it after the crossing. Or get Potter/Black family elves to pop you straight to the mansion. It felt both rushed and at the same time like filler, not actually advancing the plot.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not ragging on you like some of the 'oh the Weasleys would never act like that, because they were no more than harmless character traits in the books, and people never change as they grow older' types I read far too many reviews from on here. I just feel you could either do much more with the situation you set up than you have, or have stopped at the resolution in chapter 4.

I did always feel that the epilogue in book 7 was a deliberate slap in the face by JKR to all the fans. It was her, 'Screw you all, I've made a huge amount of money out of you all and can do what the hell I like as I'm not writing any more books. So I'll go with the most unpopular possible pairings and even give the kids unbelievable names just because I can.' This is an exploration of the world that epilogue could have existed in, and as that, it works.

You know, I could easily see Ron becoming someone like this. And I have no doubt that the younger Ron, the one from the first three years would be just as horrified as anyone to see what he'd become. He's lazy, jealous and has a short temper (it's even his middle name), all of which he can and has overcome when he had to.

But given no challenge to his behaviours, no reason to shape up, he could easily gothe other way. A 'hero of Hogwarts', married to his childhood friend, with a job that's pretty much guarranteed for life? He as everything he ever wanted, except a Quidditch career with the Chudly Cannons, and we all know he no longer has the ability to even try for that. The one thing I'm notsure about is the whores.

He has a sense of loyalty, verging on fanatiscism at times. The only times he's betrayed his friends is turning on Harry in the Tournament, not to mention running away like a dirty coward during the Horcrux hunt, and both of those are cases of him believing they'd betrayed him first. So I suspect he would keep to his marriage vows, though if some starstruck young thing threw herself at him on Auror duty, he'd probably find it hard to say no (gluttony, after all is one of his vices). But I don't think he'ddeliberately go out and pay for it.

The other reviewers don't seem to gather that you're talking about a different Ron to the one in the books, but still canon, as people change as they grow up, or fail to.

Well, Your story ignores Canon, Characterization, and Common Sense. However, it was amusing in the same manner as a Collision of a Shipment of Nuclear warheads with a bus full of orphaned kittens(Horribly Grotesque to the point where it crosses back into Humorous), and better than a Cori Falls Fic. Keep trying.

I'm going to try and be constructive here, because you actually do have the potential to be decent writer. Just in terms of the technicalities of writing, there are published authors whose technique is much worse then yours. Just keep in mind that criticism exists so you can perfect you're writing and increase it's appeal, not to drag you down or upset you.

First off: That 'Don't Like, Don't Read' sets off a lot of alarm bells. Besides the obvious paradox (how can we know if we like it, unless we read if first?) it also implies that you have received a lot of criticism and that you refuse to improve problems. That isn't going to bring in an audience, which defeats the purpose of putting it on here in the first place. If you're writing solely for you, then you probably should have just left it on your hard-drive. If criticism hurts you that much, then that might be for the best anyway.

Second: It is horribly OOC. To quote Gene Siskel, one way to measure the 'quality' of a work is how well it achieves what it sets out to do. If you aimed to use canon characters, in a story that is explicitly fanfiction, then you haven't achieved that. Like a few others have said, if this is really the story you want to tell, then you're probably better of changing names and making it original fiction. And I also agree with another reviewer down below- if you actually do want to properly use canon characters and truly believe in a ship outside the canon pairings, then you shouldn't have to derail one half of the couples to make it believable. For an audience, doing so has the exact opposite effect of what you've intended. If you're going to turn Ron into an abusive drunkard, or change any other character, you need to attempt to do so in a believable way. Try to show how these changes happened, and attempt to convince us it's believable. Simply stating 'it was always in canon, you just didn't see it,' doesn't cut it.

A final note: You may want to label this AU. It would mean acknowledging that you're not trying to convince anyone that this is a viable sequel to the actual books/movies, but it's at least a small shield against the accusations of canon defilement. It won't fix a lot of the other problems people are pointing out, but it will also stop canon purists from reading you're work and commenting of canon deviations. It also acts as a much better filter then 'don't like, don't read.'
