Ginny/Pansy is a femslash ship in Harry Potter fandom. Its appeal lies in the under-written nature of both Pansy and Ginny, and the antagonistic relationship they are presumed to have with one another. Though the pairing is small overall, it is popular in femslash circles.
In 2003, Madam Hooch's Broom Closet wrote of the pairing:
"[Ginny/Pansy is] an increasingly popular ship. It makes sense, really, especially in the context of Harry/Draco -- one girl likes Harry, the other likes Draco, what are they to do when their two boys go off together? A well-known slash author, Ivy Blossom, is writing a G/P relationship into the newest segment of her Harry/Draco epic, Quiescent, and that's probably part of the reason the G/P ship is becoming more trendy."[3]
Common Tropes in Fanworks
- Enemies to lovers is the norm, though fluff can also be found.
- The pairing often appears with Draco/Harry, as a way to pair off the canon love interests of the two men.
- Post-canon fics are popular, usually with an Epilogue? What Epilogue? tag.
- Quidditch often makes an appearance, since Ginny canonically plays professionally after Hogwarts.
Example Fanworks
- Quiescent by Ivy Blossom, an abandoned WIP part of the The Cicatrix Cycle
- Unwritten by inamamagic with art by fantalf for wlw big bang 2021: In which Pansy tries to figure out whether she deserves love and forgiveness while dancing around her feelings for a certain red-headed Quidditch player.
- A Place of Learning by daisymondays: When Pansy returns to Hogwarts all she wants to do is keep her head down and pass her N.E.W.Ts. However, between drinking games and a new roommate, Pansy is reminded that nothing at Hogwarts is ever simple.
- Rendezvous by Marenke: The Astronomy Tower was neutral ground after Dumbledore’s death.
- Fortuneteller, Private I by FeelsForBreakfast: Loving someone in secret is hard, loving someone in public is harder. Loving someone at all though, that's the important part.
