If Ash is in a position of power in a fandom, they could hold back fanfic that they perceive as low - quality or not in line with the 'spirit' of the original. They might want to maintain a certain standard for the fan - created works. Maybe they think some fanfics are too self - indulgent or don't contribute positively to the overall fandom experience.
Another possibility is that in the fanfic's unique plot, there could be some sort of magical influence or dark magic at play. Perhaps a spell was cast on Ron that made him act out of character and punch Harry. It could also be part of a complex plot where Ron is being controlled by an outside force to create drama between him and Harry in the context of the Drarry relationship.
It could also lead to a divide within their group of friends. Hermione, for instance, might be caught in the middle, not knowing who to side with. This could create a lot of tension and conflict among the characters, adding more drama to the fanfic. If the punch was public, it could also damage Ron's reputation among their peers, as punching a friend is not an acceptable behavior in most cases.
It could be a misunderstanding. For example, Ron might think Harry did something really bad to Hermione or their other friends. Without proper communication, his anger could lead him to punch Harry. Also, if there was some sort of magical influence or dark magic at play that affected Ron's judgment, that could be a reason too.
Harry might be really angry with Ron and it could damage their friendship. They've been through a lot together, and stealing something as important as the cloak is a big betrayal.
Well, 'harry doesn't hold back' might imply that Harry in the fanfiction is not shy or cautious. He might be very open in expressing his views, whether it's about his feelings towards other characters, his magical abilities, or his desires. For example, if it's a story about Harry at Hogwarts, he could be more upfront about his thoughts on certain spells or his relationships with Ron and Hermione without any hesitation.
Maybe Ron is jealous of Harry and wants to have something that belongs to him for a change. The cloak gives Harry a certain freedom and mystery, and Ron might be longing for that kind of experience.
There could be a 'Harry punches Ron' fanfic to explore different character interpretations. Maybe the writer wants to show a more impulsive and hot - headed Harry, or a Ron who has done something really wrong that would push Harry to such an extreme. It can also be a way to break away from the typical, harmonious view of their relationship and see how they would deal with such a violent rupture in their friendship.
I really like 'The Trio and the Slytherin'. It delves into how Harry, Ron and Draco might interact in different situations, especially in dealing with Hogwarts' secrets. The character development in this fanfic is quite good as it makes Draco more than just a typical antagonist, and Harry and Ron also have to adapt their views of him. It's a great read if you want to see these characters in a new light.
One great Ron and Harry friendship fanfic is 'The Marauders' Map Adventure'. It delves into their Hogwarts years and shows how they use the map to get into all sorts of mischief together. Another good one is 'Bond Beyond Quidditch' which focuses on their relationship strengthening through their love for the sport. And 'The Secret Roommates' is also a fun read where they share a lot of late - night conversations and secrets.
