Panville Recs

@scullymurphy asked me to name stories that brought me aboard a new ship! I have several to make lots of recommendations for, and the first one is Pansy and Neville.

My Panville love began with... A Dress with Pockets, by @pacific-rimbaud (E, 25k). I read this as a work in progress and fell in love with Pansy, Neville, and PR's style. Pansy Parkinson needed a drink. And a shag. She didn't care in which order. Enter: Neville fucking Longbottom and his rolled up sleeves.

If you love these two, here are many more enjoyable adventures of Pansy and Neville:

Doomed by @ambpersand. E, 1k. There was a reason she had chosen Longbottom. A reason she had slipped into the marriage council offices at the Ministry under the guise of updating her own paperwork, and slipped both of their files into the “matched” bin. Together.

Wine and Ice Cream by @indreamsink. M, 1.7k. After several glasses of impeccable wine, Pansy slips away from Draco's engagement dinner and into the wine cellar, where she stumbles across the magical grape-grower himself: Neville Longbottom. Only he's nothing like she remembers.

Deprivation by @dreamsofdramione and @inadaze22. E, 2k. Pansy gets a very special birthday present.

Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) by @artofcrumbs and @tumblintofu. E, 2k. Pansy has a sex dream. Neville makes it come true.

Unconventional Courting Methods by @graceful-lioness. M, 2.1k. Sick of being shot down, Neville gives up on asking for anything more from his casual, no-strings-attached partner, Pansy. So when she decides she wants more than that, he thinks it's only fair that she should court him properly.

Young Volcanoes by dreamsofdramione. E, 2.3k. Instead of studying the subject of marriage, as her parents had so ardently wished, Pansy had taken a keen interest in something else entirely.

By My Side Tonight by @anniebibananie. T, 2.3k. Pansy Parkinson doesn’t date nice boys. Neville Longbottom was without question a nice boy.

How to Make Pavlova by zorak23. T, 2.4k. When Neville is summoned to be married, he recognises the girl in the chair. Upon bringing her home, though, he realises she is no longer the Pansy Parkinson he once knew. Maybe all it takes to get her out of her shell is a little pavlova, some understanding, and an outspoken Master Gardener.

The Set Up by @catmintandthyme and dreamsofdramione. E, 3k. If the mere thought of him wasn’t so bloody distracting, she wouldn’t have changed three times, and she would have had time to read between the lines of Granger’s rushed apology about not being able to make it. No matter. Pansy purses her lips and lets her eyes drag over every inch of Neville until she catches his gaze. She crosses her arms and taps her finger once, twice against the bend of her elbow. What ever shall they do?

A Little Less Conversation by artofcrumbs and inadaze22. E, 3.2k. Pansy was just a fleeting thought over the years, called forth whenever he saw her. But in the nine months since things ended with Hannah, who wanted to explore her options, he's been thinking more and more about doing the same.

Noted by atlantieislander. E, 3.2k. In which Pansy runs into Neville and it goes very well for both of them.

Ten Year by @ravenpufflove. G, 3.3k. Reunions are full of surprises.

Falling Into Place by @mrsren. M, 3.5k. Following the war, he knows the world is still shite. He accepts that. Only Neville doesn't expect the unrealistic friendship he finds in Pansy Parkinson. He doesn't really expect anything that happens after either.

One Day / The Day by @icepower55. NR, 3.8k. Despite his sense of humor, he hates cliches. He promised never to make her one.

safe hands / gentle touch by viridianatnight. T, 3.8k. Theodore Nott was handed to her when she was nine years old. Betrothed. The date had been set for their marriage since before she was born.

Neville is different. He is his own obstacle, a new challenge. One with great, soft hands and chocolate eyes that don’t frighten her.

Toothpaste Kisses by @meriyart and spicytofuuuu. E, 4.4k. Everyone says bad things come in threes. If two unfortunate occurrences already happened—for example: having to travel to bumfuck nowhere with a colleague she has a crush on (a colleague who, to add insult to injury, barely acknowledges her presence) and then having to share the room with said colleague—a third one is likely to take place. Pansy doesn’t give weight to the nature of those ridiculous notions until they enter their room only to find the third bad thing. There's only one bed.

Baby, It's You by Nora_Wolfe. E, 4.5k. Pansy Parkinson is happy with her life. She has a job, a few friends, and is fine with being single. Really. Even with the feelings she has for Neville Longbottom, who is definitely not single.

That’s The Last Time You Leave Me by @ladykenz347. M, 4.7k. After two years away, Neville returns to England and to the witch he can never seem to forget.

My Chest Explodes in You by @meditationswrites. E, 4.9k. Pansy and Neville, back for the 8th year at Hogwarts, share a bathroom. Pansy's favorite hobby has become walking in on Neville while he's showering

Stroke of Luck by @malpal132. E, 5.4k. “Ouch.” He yelps involuntarily when the sharp bristles of her brush stab into the raw flesh of his cut. “Sorry,” she murmurs, smiling slightly. “Usually my clients don’t feel a thing.”

Stay by camiiie4 and inadaze22. E, 5.5k. The first time Pansy's past reared its floppy head was half a world away in her favourite Manhattan coffee shop.

Never Too Late To Bloom by maeshowers. E, 5.5k. Pansy Parkinson has a Pavlovian response to men in suspenders. Scratch that. Pansy Parkinson has a Pavlovian response to Neville Longbottom in suspenders.

Prove Me Wrong by @ada-lovelaced and @whimsymanaged. E, 5.7k. Pansy hates men. Unfortunately, she needs a date to a party. It turns out that there’s only one man for the job.

Daphne by Catmint and Thyme and dreamsofdramione. E, 5.7k. "I might have told him I was bringing someone on Saturday, and since you’ve saddled me with this stupid dying thing, it’s only fair that you should make it up to me.” The logic in Pansy's argument is all but nonexistent, yet Neville finds himself agreeing anyway.

A Different Kind of Curse by ambpersand. E, 6.1k. Pansy Parkinson, for all intents and purposes, was a lady. A pureblood witch, raised by women with the highest and finest standards in all of Britain. Trained from birth, she was everything that was expected of her—she was poised, she was polished, and more importantly, she was proper. Except for one nasty little habit.

The Relative Utility of Apricot Trees by @misdemeanor1331. E, 5.8k. Pansy Parkinson is less interested in her new apricot trees than the man who’s going to plant them. Neville Longbottom is far from her usual type, which is part of the allure. And part of the problem. Pansy has met expectations her entire life. Is dating a horticulturalist worth breaking that streak?

If the Fates Allow by spicytofuuuu. E, 6k. One train. Two strangers. A lot of snow.

On the journey to Draco and Hermione’s wedding, Pansy finds herself in the company of a charming stranger. Words are exchanged, games played, hearts ensnared. Too bad she’ll never see him again.

(or: Pansy rides the train and also rides on the train.)

Best Laid Plans by ambpersand. E, 6.3k. Pansy had it all planned out. She was tired of waiting, and it was time she did something about the annoying little crush she'd developed on Neville Longbottom. It was a foolproof plan, and it all hinged on his birthday dessert--the cake she would bake for him, and her best set of lingerie. The only problem? She didn't quite know how to bake.

Like You Say You Do by ambpersand. E, 7.4k. “Tell me, Neville… ” Pansy leaned over the table, her cleavage pressing against the low neckline of her dress. Her finger was tracing maddeningly slow circles around the top of her glass, and she paused long enough to pull the cherry from her drink. “Have you ever been dominated in bed?”

Common Things by @ravenslightwrites. E, 8.1k. Neville Longbottom escapes to Yorkshire after the war to find a peaceful respite in the countryside. However, he wasn't expecting to reconnect with someone from his past.

Interview with a Lumberjack by @millennialgrandma. E, 8.4k. She’d known from the moment Daphne’s name flashed across her screen that this wouldn’t be an ordinary shoot–no job for Daphne ever was. And despite how it appeared at first glance, this was no ordinary celebrity home. Superior craftsmanship was evident in every exposed beam and light-drenched corner. And the craftsman was none other than today’s subject.

Neville Longbottom had built his home in the mountains.

With his own hands.

Armed with this knowledge, Pansy couldn’t help but feel it was the most intimate shoot she had ever been on.

**OR

Pansy is sent to interview sexy model-turned-lumberjack Neville and has to stay the night.

Not Falling Apart by spicytofuuuu. E, 8.7k. If Pansy was sure that he was a total stranger, she wouldn’t even have to think twice before throwing herself at him. It’s just that the more she looks at him—and she looks—the more familiar he becomes. There’s a familiar twinkle in his downturned eyes. And there’s a secret smile playing across his lips, growing wide as he catches on to her lack of recognition. “You don’t remember me, do you?”

Picked and Planted by @mightbewriting. M, 9.6k. “Pansy, we aren’t getting married.”

Pansy Mode by @izzowrites. E, 10.7k. Despite being the most sought-after bridal couturier in Wizarding Britain, Pansy has never enjoyed having to bear witness to weddings and professions of eternal love. Perhaps it was because she was forty years old and single. Perhaps it was why she was forty years old and single. But today, perhaps she was a glutton for punishment. After all, she’d slept with her partner groomsman just days before their best friends' wedding.

Pansies On My Skin by @melanoradrood. E, 12.9k. Pansy owns a Tattoo Parlour. Neville owns the Flower Shop next door.

Potions Potluck by @smokybaltic is fantastic but it's Nevmione, not Panville! Sorting fail by me. 🤡 It will show up in the right place on another list coming soon.

Sowing Seeds by melanoradrood. E, 14.4k. Pansy and Neville answer a kink questionnaire. Things happen. And then more things. And then, you know... more things.

Bright Objects by pacificrimbaud. E, 17.6k. Rare Pair Summer Camp! Her hands steal under the hem of his shirt to sweep her fingers, with bare and hesitant contact, over the small of his back. His skin is sticky and gritty with the salt of his drying sweat. It’s gross and intimate and she likes it immensely.

Love in the Time of Quarantine by melanoradrood. E, 19k. A case study on what happens when a bratty sub spends eighteen months in quarantine and gets so desperate she will have sex with the shy boy from boarding school that promises her orgasms. aka muggle panville tinder au during the great panini

Devil’s Snare All The Way Down by malpal132. E, 43k. “You and Nev did Herbology together, right?” Hannah prompts with a smile, glancing between the two of them. It’s second nature to downplay and deny it after all those years of trying to keep her interest in it under wraps. But just now, the solid warmth of Neville’s thigh presses against hers and she feels the shift beneath her ribs, like latches clicking into place and giving space for her lungs to expand normally for once.

Kiss, With Tongue by @sportivetricks. E, 59k. (Additional pairings of Dramione and Lavender/Blaise). Frustrated with the male propensity to 'shag and run,' the girls engage in a contest to see who can go the farthest by Valentine's Day without going all the way. But perhaps they should have chosen their partners more carefully…

Some side pairing Panville:

Lessons in Darkened Rooms by @raven-m-3 (E, 2.6k, main pairing Dramione)

The Scheme of Things by @fractured-fiction (E, 9.5k, main pairing Dramione)

Stag by In_Dreams (M, 16.5k, main pairing Dramione/side of NottPott, fake dating/weekend trip)

More Than One Way to Win by scullymurphy (E, 18.3k, main pairing Dramione, fake dating)

Cambridge Blue by @charlipetidei (E, 18.6k, main pairing Dramione, muggle College AU)

Watch the Castles Burn by @moonflower-rose (E, 21.3k, main pairing Drarry, excellent gryffindor-slytherin friendship ensemble)

Rose Tyler introspection in Christmas Invasion??

*Deep breath*

We meet Rose as a working class girl who labours in a shop all day to earn money to take home in order to exist. She tolerates it, and even when we meet her in episode one aged 19-years-old she’s already tired of it. However, she’s clearly accepted that her life is and will always be a monotonous existence where all she does is go to work, go home, eat chips, and there’s literally nothing she can do about it. She’s not got any ambitions conducive to societal standards, she’s not got the means (ie. money, connections) to change her life, and she’s not even got any A-Levels. There’s nothing and no one to recognise her as anything but a member of the 'workforce', which is a national insurance number and threats from the Department of Work and Pensions if she doesn't stick at a job.

One day, she’s thrown into something she’s only ever seen in films and on TV - a strange man wrapped up in a weird world, which culminates in her job being blown up … and it intrigues her because 1. it's a mystery she wants to solve and 2. it's so different from her repetitive life. She pursues it - she searches up this strange, fun, exciting alien man called the Doctor, and she eventually ends up being his companion.

She goes on the absolute journey of her life across time and space. It’s anti-everything she has ever experienced before. She’s now living in a world where money doesn’t matter; where every day is new. She’s travelling with a man she has slowly but surely fallen in love with who treats her as an equal, experiencing an existence that Shareen and the girls she clubbed back in the day with will never, ever understand. There's good and there's bad, but mostly there's the threat of what life would be like without him.

Then, he dies. The strange, alluring man whom she absolutely adores who has given her so much dies. It’s easy to forget how odd the concept of regeneration is to someone who’s never seen it. Her best friend gabbled slightly about changing and went up in a whirl of gold, to be replaced by a strange thin man who claims to BE her best friend, and she has absolutely no idea what to make of it.

Either way, that new life in time and space is suddenly over. She had an escape there from her tedious existence, but suddenly it got yanked out from under her. However, before they can get any form of resolution, he falls extremely ill. There's a weird man in her mum's bed in a coma who may or may not be the man she loves, and she can't talk to ANYONE about her real feelings.

Things get worse. In the midst of Rose trying to process this utter mess of emotion, the aliens are now invading.

She decides to tackle it, but what choice does she have? She's seen enough of the Doctor’s absurd life to know how serious the Sycorax threat is, and also that she - as the Doctor's ‘apprentice’ - is the only person who can save planet Earth, because he’s dead. Staring up at the Sycorax ship in the sky, she suddenly understands that. She gets it. So she decides she’s going to fight for Earth, like she’s seen the Doctor so so many times before, mistakenly throwing out phrases she’s heard in her travels to try and sound impressive - ‘with all the authority of the Slitheen parliament of … Raxacoricofallapatorius!’

Then, she sees her best friend in the new man. She watches as he does exactly what the man she adored used to do - dispensing with the Sycorax with a few well-placed words. He’s the same man, she runs back to him because he’s the one she's loved the most and a better shout than a 'boring' life with Mickey Smith. And I'm not saying that's nice, I'm saying that's pretty human.

The truth is, Rose is ridiculously clever, but this is never, ever something that will ever come to light, purely because of where she’s from. She never had the opportunity or the encouragement to make anything of herself or do anything beyond what society expects someone of her background to do.

Rose is not perfect and that’s what makes her encapsulating. Universal travel and world destruction aside, she’s a 19-year-old girl when she starts - she’s far in advance of her age in so many ways, but she’s still got a slight twinge of the teenager about her. She’s smart, she’s good, and she’s absolutely fucking beautiful. One person, removed from human society, saw her potential - and his name is the Doctor.

In contrast, the Doctor was born into the highest possible social class of an elite alien race and he threw it all away, and ended up travelling the universe with a working class girl called Rose Tyler, because he knew and understood that she was far more brilliant than anyone appreciated.
