#Fic Compendium (Ella)

[apicelladonna]

In my heart, Gellert and Albus are bickering happily married and then Albus tries to cancel their evening dinner because he is grading papers saying "This is the greater good" so Gellert has to pull out "I'm the greatest good you are ever gonna get!" card that shuts him up.

They end up reheating left overs.

Theather Club AU

Anyone who has known me since I originally got into EAH may know that I had a theater club au with @gender-snatched that centered around Apple/Daring/Lizzie as they formed a theater club (and, later, a troupe) and performed a bunch of musicals. We posted entries into the AU as individual fics in 2022, and by the time we were done, there were 30~ fics total in the universe.

Until today! I went back and combined the old au into 2 fics (though I kept the Halloween special separate since it was part of a special thing I did in October 2022). In the process of corralling them into two works, I also went through and re-edited, added/changed author's notes, and added a forward from yours truly. I also backdated each chapter so you can see the original post dates, as the original works are no longer available.

The new release of this series can be found here! Happy reading <3

Midnight thinkings of just... Credence passing away peacefully after everything.

Not on a bed that is too small and creaking because he had outgrown it and it will be used by another orphan found by Mary Lou Barebone..

Not on hay because the circus of freaks needs to move fast and clean up fast to go another city...

Nor on a grand four poster golden cage out of a bargain because he needs to prove himself as equals to Albus Dumbledore in the greater scheme of a war..

Just this bed by the window overseeing winter and light, and yes it is quite noisy downstairs with the regular bar customers because life continues after the fiasco in Bhutan.

But it was warm and his.

Because he is someone that is loved and found.

And he thinks, he can rest here without another worry evermore. Under the soft sheets, a roaring fire and a lovely girl with blonde hair smiling at him as he closes his eyes for good.

[apicelladonna]

“Dear diary, my teen angst has a body count now” and it’s Gellert Grindelwald in 1899, Godric’s Hollow–nearly tripping over the Dumbledore’s entry way as he stared at the lifeless body of Ariana then never looking back at those horrified blue eyes of Albus.

He sees them again in 1932...1945...then nevermore.

[apicelladonna]

“It’s for the better (good)…trust me, Ari.”

In another version of that summer, Bathilda Bagshot buried her great nephew in another country...

Far from the corpse of Abeforth and Ariana's older brother who lay waste in the goats' feeding pen.

[apicelladonna]

late post about how Mads and Jamie have the same bdays (Nov. 22) so I'm hc-ing Gellert's bday on the same day.

Meaning he could have asked Albus jokingly/sarcastically on the fateful day of their duel (nov 2, 1945) an advance birthday gift and Albus gives him a Judas's kiss before he surrenders Grindelwald to the ICW.

Silence through the smoke of the battle. It was still as warm as he remembers Albus's lips. "Send me off with a hex instead. A curse! Anything but that," he laughed as they both watched the fog lift and the aurors come close. "Anything but this." Grindelwald would probably chose a Dementor's kiss instead of this humiliation of the loser's walk.

My favorite horror has got to be fourteen year old Ariana being so confused in meeting two wrinkly old men instead of her big brothers in the afterlife when their times came.

[apicelladonna]

Why does this Mads' photoshoot look like a photoshoot in Nurmengard?

Exclusive coverage and commentary!!

The Continental Wizard's own Rosalind Skeeter's interview with wild card candidate for ICW Supreme Mugwump Gellert Grindelwald....

Nurmengard, The Ancestral Stronghold of the Grindelwald lineage, traced to whom? Skeeter's testimony and exclusive photos.

Grindelwald, 1946, Nurmengard Prison.

Letters to one Professor Albus Dumbledore denied. Again.

For safety reasons of the ordained ser of the order of Merlin, all letters are returned to the receiver. As per request of the minister of magic.

Refused the visitation of one distant relative.

1950, Warden has been changed for the sixth time this year for the prisoner's unruly behavior.

Prisoner went into hunger strike.

Prisoner is revoked of his priviledges of one hour yard time during the summer season.

"Albus, meine Schatz. Your student is here. The Salamander fella-"

"Newt?"

"Yes, and he has his gang with him," Gellert says lazily as he watched Scamander go through his gates at this view of the tower. "I think they're going to rescue you."

Albus looked owlish as he placed the bookmark on the page he was reading, his tea and sweets left forgotten at the moment.

"Well tell him I'm not here!"

"Oh sure let the dark wizard just waltz out of his castle and say 'Get off my porch you verdammte Kinder!'."

[apicelladonna]

How do you comfort your own child that has killed you?

Ease her tears and shaking arms that held you limp while she shouted for her brothers or her father? To tell her that it wasn't her fault and never was.

She hopes by humming the same lullaby she has sang for all three of her darlings will help her calm down again, it has to wor—

[apicelladonna]

He paused outside her little sister’s bedroom, noticing the door was slightly ajar. A faint, cool draft slipped through the gap, and a shiver ran down his spine.

"Ari?" he called softly, pushing the door open further.

The room was bathed in the silvery light of the full moon, casting elongated shadows across the floor. Ariana sat up in her bed, her eyes wide with fear, clutching her blanket tightly. Her gaze was fixed on the doorway, and when she saw Albus, a flicker of relief crossed her face.

"Albus," she whispered, her voice trembling.

He moved to her bedside, the moonlight illuminating her pale, anxious face. She was shaking, her hands gripping the blanket as if it were her only anchor to safety. Albus reached out to smooth her hair, trying to offer some comfort.

"Someone’s below my bed," she said in a small, terrified voice.

Albus froze for a moment, his eyes darting to the dark space beneath her bed. "It's probably just a boggart, Ari. Nothing to be afraid of."

He knelt beside her bed, his wand in hand, and took another deep breath.

Slowly, he lowered himself to the floor, peering into the darkness beneath the bed. His heart pounded in his chest as he strained to see what lay hidden in the shadows.

At first, there was nothing—just darkness.

But then, as his eyes adjusted, he saw a shape. His breath caught in his throat as he recognized the figure huddled in the gloom.

It was Ariana. She was crouched under the bed, her eyes wide and filled with fear, mirroring the expression of the girl on the bed above.

The wooden frame creaks.

"Albus," Ariana whispered, "Someone is above my bed."

[apicelladonna]

"The heart of the ocean is as deep as his eyes."

aka Young Grindeldore Titanic AU series! It's the summer of 1912, Albus Dumbledore is accompanied by his mother, younger brother and sister to be wed to Percival Graves in America. By fates, he meets the stowaway Gellert Grindelwald in a week escapade in the maiden voyage of the Titanic, you know how this goes :'D

[apicelladonna]

Some your middle-aged married Albus&Gellert headcanons?

Where to begin!? These are general musings whether they stayed together in another lifetime or met in secrets during the war.

Albus-Gellert middle aged married fellas let's go

Beverage of choice: Tea and black coffee (Gellert swears that he saw Albus dump a whole sugar bowl into his tea but still frowned and say it wasn't sweet enough for his liking)

Mornings: Albus is a early riser because of his morning classes while you couldn't wake Gellert (night owl) even if it there was a raid unless a necessity.

Bookmarks: Leaf pressed personalized bookmark gift from Elphias- Doesn't or it will crease the binds so he just remembers the page.

When mad: Cold silent anger - passive aggressive temper

Perspective roles: The Sword & The Pen

Love language: Acts of service - Words of encouragement

Favorite body part of their partner:

(Albus: Gellert's hands when they swing animatedly when he is very vocal with his afternoon rants. Or choke him)

(Gellert: Albus' blue eyes that sucked him deep into its trenches and he gladly drowned in them. Albus' plump bottoms/thy lovely peaches to behold)

Endearment

(Albus to Gellert): 'Dear boy', 'Darling' 'My Cherished Stars',

(Gellert to Albus): 'Schatz' 'Sonnenschein', Any of the languages he can speak that has the endearment close to 'Precious Treasure' he's said it-

Blood troth: Albus kisses Gellert's lips first then the troth, Gellert kisses the scar on Albus' hand first then their troth.

Public Displays of Affection (Albus): Discreet pinky finger holding, the shit you see in Bridgerton and more, says I love you to Gellert with his eyebrow scrunch-

PDA (Gellert): He is a damn peacock with what we've seen in the Lestrange Mausoleum rally where he just shines their blood troth for all to see that he's taken. Basically: This is my husband, have you read his research article regarding the advantages of not eight but twelve properties of Dragon blood? Astounding man he is. Too humble for himself. Here have a copy-

Bedroom intimacies: gone were the days of fiery passion of their youth, when they are in their own little world, when they are alone in their bedroom, a hotel room in europe or where ever Gellert's rallies or Albus' conference were, it was selfishness of the two combined to think they had the time to map out each other's skin, scars, freckles, and marks..

There is no urgency to reach a state of euphoria, each kiss and touch was already bliss in borrowed time.

They will argue for hours end about the most mundane things.

Gellert: Does Albus like me?

Vinda: You do know you are married to him?

Gellert: I know but does he LIKE me?

One time, both were dead tired from their perspective ordeals that they just collapsed on their bed still wearing their coats and shoes.

Clothes: Simple sweaters - vain bastard, only the best silk shirts (Gellert gets colorbinded the minute Albus' wardrobe turned into a variety of bright plum, yellow, and blue. What a way to go-)

Pastime : Discovered a fondness for knitting - Catch up on the books he bought years ago from various old libraries he'd been to in Europe

Godric's Hollow: Will always visit Bathilda for tea if they are in the area and then end their day by visiting and cleaning up Ariana's gravestone.

Favorite color:

(Albus) Gold

(Gellert) Blue

Feel free to add your own takes! Thank you again for this question! I'm sorry it took me long but I wanted to give it my all. Cheers!

[apicelladonna]

Do you think at that split moment when Lily locked herself into the bedroom when the inevitable drew near, she begged anyone to help her baby and when no one answered, she wanted to squeeze little Harry into her own flesh, like she wants to push him back into her womb to protect him as a last resort?

Motherhood and death.

[apicelladonna]

Hair holds memories.

Maybe that's why he cut it after 1899. It was the last thing he touched.

And then Albus never did pass 1945. It was the last thing Gellert touched before he was ushered away.
