But see, usually, when someone decides to follow up on a non-canon ship and one part of the ship, it turns into a hate fic.
For example, while Harry is defined in part by his relationship with Murphy and his need to have her in his life, Murphy isn't really defined by her relationship with Harry. Therefore, yeah, it'd be a lot easier for me to buy Murphyxnot-Harry than Harryxnot-Murphy(outside of flings) but as Harry/Murphy is obviously canon, writers have to have a WHY for Murphyxnot-Harry for it to work, and thats when we enter into the possibility of hatefic and character bashing.
