Albus/Gellert Fic Recs
Since a lot of new fans are seeking fics… here are several different kinds! Not comprehensive by any means; just a few of my bookmarked personal favorites all in one place.
EPISTOLARY
Thirty-Five Owls – The Grindeldore fic that all others can only aspire to. Read it first, read it last, read it again and again and find new things to love about it each time. Perfection.
Ad Familiares – A late-night conversation in letters.
SUMMER OF 1899
Let Perpetual Light – A complete narrative of their summer together that may be my favorite take on it. Its use of Ariana’s perspective and deconstruction of the Hallows mythology are simply brilliant.
Golden, Ripe, and Rotten – Three glimpses into that summer in Godric’s Hollow, from its beginning to its end.
The Motion of Mutable Things – Absolutely beautiful lyrical language; a poem in prose.
Those Faded Old Glimmers – The course of the Albus/Gellert relationship split into five movements.
Order of the Parrot – Five times Albus and Gellert tried to predict the future, and the one time Gellert did.
Every Shining Moment – “Here are three stories,” Gellert says, holding up his fingers. “Which one is the prophecy?”
Spring Cleaning – As Dumbledore prepares for his death, he has to make sure that some memories die with him. 
Light Bringer – Self-promo ;) Those two months of insanity from Albus’s POV.
POST-1899
Living On – Ariana doesn’t die, and history… shifts. A spectacular, dark glimpse of what might have been.
The Prisoner’s Remorse – After Sirius Black’s betrayal, Professor Dumbledore finds work for Remus Lupin as a prison guard in Nurmengard, where there are quite a few things to be learned.
same apartment, roommate’s gone – Gellert disguises himself as a certain Hogwarts professor. Utterly delightful.
Nemesis – Three times that Grindelwald as Graves ranted about Dumbledore and made someone feel uncomfortable.
Relationship Counseling – Grindelwald wants to win Dumbledore’s heart back, and keeps asking a captive Graves for love advice.
In Motion – A Yule Ball is being held at Hogwarts. MACUSA’s best auror is invited, and can’t resist asking the Transfiguration professor to dance.
nobody else but me – Albus Dumbledore discovers that no matter how hard you try and move on, you can never really escape your past mistakes.
A Confederacy of Deceivers – Albus Dumbledore stops deceiving himself, 45 years too late.
Beautiful Nightmare – Albus Dumbledore wakes up with his partner, Gellert Grindelwald, in a world that they rule together for the greater good.
Strange Comfort – Gellert needs a distraction. The memories, he finds, don’t die so easily.
dear forgiveness, i saved a plate for you – Almost thirty years after Ariana’s death, a stagnant and repressed Albus Dumbledore decides he could use some counseling.
Time Parts the Hearts of Men – Gellert arrives in the afterlife to find Albus already there.
Happily Ever After, Being an Account of a Victorian Fairy Tale in Five Parts – In an alternate universe in which Ariana wasn’t killed, Albus and Gellert attempt to track down the Hallows. Pure, wonderful fluff.
MULTIPLE TIMEFRAMES
Fortress: An Anatomy – There is a fortress in the mountains and it watches the world. It watches its beloved Master and it watches itself. Nurmengard is the name of that place.
Love Letters – A love story in reverse.
there are many names in history and two of them are(n’t) ours – A character piece about truth, love, history, family, and the life and lies of Albus Dumbledore.
The clarity of destruction – Gellert is a Seer, but some things are better left unseen.
in ourselves – Four times Gellert Grindelwald couldn’t predict the future, and one time that he could.
Changing Seasons – Elphias loves Albus. Albus loves Gellert.
Pieces of Times Long Past – A collection of Albus/Gellert oneshots, ranging from their one summer to Grindelwald’s downfall and beyond.
EXPLICIT
Flash and Circle (Part I + Part II + Epilogue) – Alternate universe in which Albus and Gellert reign as co-rulers of the wizarding world, featuring… Tom Riddle. Extremely explicit (and also extremely delightful).
As Schoolboys From Their Books – Expelled Durmstrang student and former Hogwarts Head Boy form unlikely friendship. Hijinx of the sexy variety ensue.
Hair of the Dog That Bit You – Albus and Gellert cross paths in Vienna ten years after Godric’s Hollow.
Suppliance of a Minute – A wicked, wild version of their first meeting. 
Hallowing Lions – Albus, Gellert, and magic tricks. The kind they don’t teach at Hogwarts, of course. (By the author of Thirty-Five Owls, which is recommendation enough.)

Long Grindeldore Fics
Here’s a list of Grindeldore Fics that are longer. I tried to pick only fics over 10k or are going to be over 10k in the future.
Zwischen Immer und Nie (Between Always and Never) by sudowoodo
Words: 38563
Albus smiled and tossed the manuscript back on the table. “It’s the rest I don’t agree with. I simply cannot get behind that American rule.”
Gellert laughed loudly. “You wish to marry a Muggle, Albus? There is something you’re not telling me, yes?”
Albus tipped his head sideways, growing weary of his friend always missing the point. “Oh, I don’t know. I feel some sympathy with those who are not allowed to love freely.” Gellert’s gaze became fixed on the floor before his eyes roamed up to take in Albus’ face. Albus placed his hands on his stomach and sighed gently. “I can only imagine what it’s like not having the freedom to walk hand in hand with my love, or marry them, or kiss them in the street.”
There was a long pause. Then, seriously, “What are you talking about, Albus?”
“I think you know.”
-A summer of 1899. Has  a Victorian feel with themes of homophobia. There’s a cry scene that got to me. I like how Ariana and Alberforth are written.-
Hold on by OUATgirl
Words: 26,631
After their famous duel in 1945, Albus Dumbledore decides to give his old friend another chance. Instead of being held in Nurmengard, Gellert Grindelwald will serve his time under the watchful eyes of the new hero of the wizarding world. But Albus cannot plan everything, and things might be more difficult than he anticipated
-I like how Dumbledore was written. Very cute and slow. Writer is currently working on a sequel-
same apartment, roommate’s gone by Anonymous
Words: 10,176
After nearly five decades of imprisonment, Gellert Grindelwald was ready to break free.
-Very funny, but it is serious too. Gellert takes over the mind of Lockhart because there ain’t nothing there.-
Defence Professor Wohl by DarthKrande, NeverBeyondRedemption
Words: 54,421
Gilderoy Lockhart landed himself in St Mungo’s after his ‘Cornish Pixies’ class. Where can a headmaster now find another Defence teacher, one who’s knowledgeable beyond doubt, willing to face the curse on the position, and available to start in a few days? In Nurmengard, that’s where.
-I really like the beginning of this fic, the ending dragged after chapter 18, but that’s probably because the later chapters focus on Harry.-
rummaging for answers in the pages by kittysorceress
Words: 37,620
It is the summer of 1899 and Albus Dumbledore is ready to venture into the great wizarding unknown. Instead, he finds himself at a dead end, keeping house for his siblings in Godric’s Hollow. Bored. Lonely. Wasted.
That is, until he meets his equal.
-A collection of Albus’s journal entries from the summer of 1899, detailing his adventures and the innermost workings of his mind, from the mundane to the sublime.-
So Many Chances Unseen by The_Marron
Words : 32,043
Dumbledore wants to die, Severus Snape doesn’t want him to, and there is also an ex-Dark Lord trying to get his ex back. Maybe.
-This is broken up into 5 parts that total the word count. Is completed. Albus is an ass and I loved it! Slow burn with old men. Loved the ending! Wish this is how the books ended.-
Thirty-Five Owls by Letterblade
Words:11,284
Being a correspondence between Albus P.W.B. Dumbledore, Grand Sorcerer, Supreme Mugwump, etc., and the prisoner Gellert Grindelwald, of some decades in length.
-Gellert and Ablus are penpals? Kinda. It’s sweet, it’s angry and it’s sad. It’s Grindeldore in a nutshell.-
Extreme Incantations by meanwhiletimely
Words: 10,043
Gellert makes a discovery in Albus’s bookshelves that results in a revelation.
-Very much smut, but with a plot… no maybe just a point? Dark magic sex during 1899. Bottom Gellert.-
My hands in yours by FrozenBrownie
Words: 21,452
A student of Hogwarts, died in Albus Dumbledore’s arms. What impact this unnecessary death of a child (again) would have on him, on England, on Hogwarts, neither the watching centaurs nor that desperate wizard with his wrists in unconnected metal chains could have foreseen. There was a man, of course, who did, roused in his sleep from the agitation of his husband over a thousand miles away. And thus, a story different from the one that could have come to pass began.
-Albus is shackled and leaves his life to find Gellert.I’m a sucker for fics about magic restriction shackles. Several parts.-
Happily Ever After, Being an Account of a Victorian Fairy Tale in Five Parts by azurish
Words: 10,281
When you’re hunting down the stuff of fairy tales, you shouldn’t be surprised when your own life turns into a fairy tale. In a universe in which Ariana wasn’t killed, Albus and Gellert attempt to track down the Hallows. Gellert knows that Albus is in love with him, and it’s convenient to indulge him – but that’s all there is to it. Right?
-Albus and Gellert go on their journey for the Hallows and have been traveling for a while together. Gellet is a piece of shit and Albus is dumb (stop just putting on unknown jewelry!)-
His Majesty’s dragon by FrozenBrownie
Words: 18,369
Used in Open Combat – Dragon Corps in short. Albus’ magical power, ability and control apparently were up to the required standard to be considered for the training program for Aviators. Of course he had had no intention to go into the military whatsoever, but then, Gellert Grindelwald had stumbled into his life. Oh, how they had loved one another, fiercely, fiery, distructive -
-Dragon riders and set in 1759. Is a series. Writer working on 2nd part.-
Let Perpetual Light by tehtarik
Words: 65,726
In the village of Godric’s Hollow, the Dumbledore family is falling apart. Kendra Dumbledore is dead under mysterious circumstances, and Albus is the unwilling guardian to his wayward brother Aberforth, and Ariana, their mad sister in the attic. But everything changes with the arrival of Gellert Grindelwald, violently charming juvenile delinquent with an obsession for the fabled Deathly Hallows.
-Ariana is a main character. Summer of 1899.-
Nurmengard by red_camellia
Words: 12,002
After Grindelwald’s defeat in 1945 he is put in Nurmengard, unable to move on and haunted by memories of their past Dumbledore begins visiting Grindelwald. “But whenever Dumbledore was there, it was like looking into the Mirror. They both looked at each other and yet, did not see each other.”
-A melancholy fic. Albus keeps visiting Nurmengard years after the battle of 1945.-
Shadows Die Twice by Phytine (Taouret)
Words: 68,922
Albus Dumbledore, after having been expelled from Hogwarts, has no choice but to go to Durmstrang in order to finish his education. There, he meets a very charming boy, Gellert Grindelwald and, despite the warnings, decides to befriend him.
What Albus doesn’t know is that Durmstrang is the Devil’s territory. Before he can understand what is happening, he gets caught in a dangerous web. The unconscious prey has fallen.
But there is one thing that Grindelwald hasn’t taken into account: Dumbledore is no man to be taken down easily and, the monster is never far away in a wounded heart.
-Do you want a really fuck up Albus and just as equally fucked up Gellert? This is your fic. Warning, includes rape, abusive relationship, blood fetish, chocking. Not completed.-
Phoenix Tears by PrincessElectra
Words: 46,739
The summer of 1899 ends with less destruction and heartbreak, but love is not a victory march and the darkness is still a seductive temptress. Albus Dumbledore/Gellert Grindelwald.
“It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves. I refuse to accept that there is any future where the world is better place with us apart.”
-Gellert decides to stay with Albus but he can’t quite give up on his old goals Lots of fluff.-
liminality by verivala
Words: 7,981
Instead of killing Albus, Gellert imprisons him. Neither of them have a good time.
Grindelwald Wins AU
-Still being written. Gellert is trying to cage Albus and Albus is trying to escape, if only mentally. It does have darker themes like mind control, magic restrict, twisted love.-
The Trial of Albus Dumbledore by Aurora_xx
Words: 51,613
Albus Dumbledore has to attend a disciplinary hearing for withholding invaluable information about Gellert Grindelwald, deliberate misdirection and performing a blood pact with the person who currently represents the biggest threat to the wizard community.
Unknowingly, he takes Veritaserum before.
-Albus is held trial and forced to speak the whole truth.-
The Glass House by Skurf, TheMoonGuardian (moonchampion)
Words: 24,327
Brightest student of Hogwarts’s 1899 graduating class, Albus Dumbledore was about to set off to travel the world. He was going to revolutionize the Wizarding World. Then Ariana Dumbledore killed her mother in a fit of uncontrollable magic, and he was sent back home to be her caretaker.
He was 18, resentful, and utterly miserable. Until Bathilda Bagshot introduced him to her alluring nephew, Gellert Grindelwald.
(The one where Ariana doesn’t die, and the boys take her along on their quest to find the Elder Wand.)
-I almost feel bad putting this on the list, because it looks to forever be incomplete. But the bantering between Albus and Gellert is just too enjoyable not to include.-
Never Too Careful by DrSalazar2U
Words: 29,694
“So that, when my mother died, and I was left the responsibility of a damaged sister and a wayward brother, I returned to my village in anger and bitterness. Trapped and wasted, I thought! And then, of course,
he came…" 
Gellert presents a life changing opportunity, but Albus quickly learns that when it comes to eternal glory, one can never be too careful.
-Lot of smut, but there is still a plot. But lots of summer sex. I like how Ariana and Abeforth are written.-

A long overdue Grindeldore fic rec list
Because I finally figured out how links work on tumblr. A (non-comprehensive) list of my favourite stories in this fandom.
Hyperboreans by @magneto-was-left​: One-shot, Gellert centric. Lots of classics references. If you read nothing else on this list, please read this. It is beautifully intense and just perfectly atmospheric.
Time Parts the Hearts of Men by Hijja: One-shot, afterlife fic. Bittersweet in the best way.
Symphony for the Forseen by @litsetaure: One-shot, a take on the vision of an obscurial killing Albus. Really lovely writing style.
The First Time by aslytherinsukkot: One-shot AU where they stayed together. Interesting look at what their dynamic would be, plus some nice world-building.
The Trial of Albus Dumbledore by Aurora_xx: Multichapter, incomplete. The only fic that has made me really enjoy Fantastic Beasts characters that aren’t Grindelwald and Dumbledore (not to imply that those two don’t have major roles). Some great attention to detail, wonderful building of tension. Read if you want to feel a burning desire to punch Travers in the face (more so than I assume most already do).
The Devil’s Advocate by @kierkegarden: One-shot, focused on Gellert in prison. Wonderfully poetic.
And We Mend Our Broken Wings by @the-marron: Series, old Grindeldore AU where they fight Voldemort together. Have I recommended this like a hundred times before? Yes. Is it worth doing again? Absolutely.
Light Bringer by @meanwhiletimely: Summer of 1899 one-shot. One of the first fics I read in this fandom and the one which did the most to shape my views of the characters. Really captivating.
Shoot Me Down (With My Bitter Heart) by @bloodtroth: FB-era, One Shot. Jealous Albus is much sadder than jealous Gellert.​
refero by @1oveclub​: One-shot, Albus visits Gellert in prison. Feelings abound.
Until Love Do Us Part by @inessencedevided: One-shot spanning from 1899 to 1945. A very comprehensive and emotional exploration of their relationship from start to finish.

[FICS RECS] Grindelwald/Dumbledore
Thanks to the Fantastic Beasts franchise, I have more people asking me for Grindelwald/Dumbledore fanfic recommandations, and I figured it would be easier making a list. So here’s my list of recommendations of various Grindeldore fanfictions, either set during summer 1899, the Fantastic Beasts era or the Harry Potter era, on AO3 or FF.NET.
Note: This list isn’t complete, and will most likely be updated in the future!

Rage and Serenity
read it on the AO3 at https://ift.tt/38qxhy2
by Lica_K
He still remembered like it was yesterday the first time he looked into those beautiful blue eyes and his heart had broken in a way he hadn’t thought was still possible, but Erik should have known better by now that Charles would always find a way to mess with his feelings and make him as vulnerable as a mere human, even if unintentionally. No one knows exactly what happened that day when so many X-Men died and honestly Erik prefers not to think about it because that was also the day he almost lost him. It didn’t matter if Charles sometimes didn’t recognize him or his brilliant mind was destroying him bit by bit, while Erik was still breathing he would destroy the entire world first for all the suffering it had inflicted on his old friend before death tried to take away the only thing that meant everything to him.
Basically a new version of the events that took place in Logan’s movie (2017) if instead of Caliban, it was actually Erik who was protecting Charles along with Logan.

Fandoms: X-Men (Movies), X-Men: First Class (2011) - Fandom, X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) - Fandom, X-Men (Movieverse)

*Arrives at Spacedogs week 7 days late with starbucks in hand*
Everyone’s favourite headcanon AU…Nigel lives, and Gabi and Charlie don’t exist, so you have Adam nursing him back to health, and he tries to cheer up Nigel by constantly showing him his in-home-universe while he’s recovering, and they are cute, no one is looking for Nigel to kill him (for now). Harlan is super wary of Nigel, and keeps checking on them because he doesn’t trust that man, near his friend/almost-son.
