In fanfiction, Ron Weasley is often depicted as a loyal friend. His character traits like his sense of humor and sometimes clumsy nature are explored in different ways.

Some fanfictions may try to redeem him in a way, while others might show his true evil nature more vividly in new scenarios.
Ron Weasley and Peter Pettigrew in fanfiction can have some really interesting interactions. Fanfiction gives the opportunity to rewrite their relationship.
