Linny

Linny is the femslash ship between Luna and Ginny from the Harry Potter fandom.

Canon
Luna and Ginny are in the same year at Hogwarts and become friends when Ginny stands up for Luna to people who bully her because she's different than most people. They're quite opposites in that Ginny is an in-your-face, temperamental quidditch player and Luna is a quiet, contemplative and openminded girl. Along with Harry, Ron, Hermione and Neville, the girls endure many challenges together as Voldemort returns and attempts to terrorise the world once more.

Ginny and Luna grew especially close as they remained at Hogwarts with Neville while Harry, Ron and Hermione searched for the Horcruxes. Together, the trio encouraged the remaining students to retain hope, despite the cruelty of the new Headmasters - the Deatheater Carrow siblings.

Many years later, Harry and Ginny use Luna's first name as their only daughter's middle name - Lily Luna Potter, indicating that Luna remains close friends with the pair.

Fanon
Due to them being the same age and in the same school year, as well as their close friendship during the turbulent events which unfold at Hogwarts following Voldemort's uprising, many fans have paired Ginny and Luna together as a romantic/sexual couple. Many perceive Ginny as being the more dominant person in the relationship, due to her headstrong and impulsive nature as well as her protectiveness over Luna. On the other hand, others see Luna being a leader in their relationship, with her eccentric and curious but calm and innovative personality inspiring Ginny to be more reflective and relaxed in various situations, allowing her to develop and mature.

On AO3 it is the second most written ship for Ginny and the most written for Luna. It is also the twenty fifth most written ship in the Harry Potter tag.
