[the-greater-good-1899]

The dawn of November 1, 1945.

With the chaos of a recently graduated Tom Riddle sent out into the world, and the ministry breathing that much more down Albus Dumbledore's neck for the last few weeks after he'd been forced on "administrative leave" by the ministry while he was in their custody for the last several weeks, beaten and tortured until he gave into their demands to duel Gellert Grindelwald once more. He knew his husband's actions had grown more horrific over the years that even he could not ignore, and between that, the torture...

He had accepted.

The ministry was unaware of his possession of the resurrection stone, given to him by Flamel in case things turn for the worst in that duel. He's made enough potion to live out the next fifty years with himself and his wife- Should Albus not come home from this. Days before, he had sent out a letter. Part of him hoped it did not make it to him, or he would simply ignore his ridiculous quest for a final duel, to see who would finally come out on top. Or, in the ministries eyes.. If good would triumph over evil.

For the greater good.

Days later, he had anxiously arrived at that location, dressed in his usual attire. His wand was grasped tightly in his hand, other shoved in his pocket, wrapped tightly around the stone in his pocket. He had used illusion charms to hide what a wreck he really looked like, after what the ministry had put him through for the last several weeks. In his weakened state he might've still been quite the formidable opponent- But the ministries underestimated Grindelwald when it came to Dumbledore. He truly didn't know who would triumph this time. He hoped so desperately that the letter had not made it, or he would refuse.

But when was luck ever on Albus Dumbledore's side? @magicblooms

" the sound of your voice is the only lullaby that works on me "

The words are spoken softly in the night, as if he isn't expecting anyone to be there. There were plenty of times he would stand upon the balcony at Hogwarts looking out over the castle grounds. Thoughts running wild, but speaking into the night almost guaranteed that his secrets would be kept. The night was a keeper of secrets and this was but another on a restless night where heart and mind continued to do battle. It was exhausting to say the least. ( @magicblooms )

send ◘ to grab my muse’s jaw, forcing them to look at yours. - @magicblooms

The younger felt pain as his jaw was grabbed and he was forced to look into the other's eyes. He should be used to this treatment from anyone, but he was not, as he looked in growing fear that he did something wrong.

What did he do wrong? His thoughts raced. Did he fail at something else? Did he scare Queenie and she told him something? To many what ifs and he was afraid to ask, "si-sir" he whispered with some pain from his jaw hurting.

There were few people in Godric's Hollow who knew that there was a third Dumbledore sibling.

Of course, everyone knew the eldest, Albus, a very intelligent and polite young man by all means. And everyone also knew the younger, Ariana, a sweet young girl seldom seen without a smile, a few years younger than her brother. They both went off to a fancy school every September, and as far as most were aware, had left their mother Kendra home alone until the holidays rolled around.

Almost nobody knew about Aberforth. And now Kendra was gone.

Middle child, he'd never been to school, spent most of his time either inside or curled among the goats, the darkness that curled inside him soothed a little by their gentle presence, by the familiarity of nature. Though since Kendra's death, he'd spent more time hiding away in his room, only seldomly coaxed out by Ariana. Today though, the house quiet, he had ventured out, padding down the stairs in bare feet to seek out something to eat.

Except there was somebody in the kitchen. Albus' new friend, the boy who had been staying with Miss Bagshot. Miss Bagshot knew about Aberforth. She was nice, if a little odd. One hand gripping the banister, Aberforth paused on the bottom step, clearly torn on whether to flee back upstairs or continue.

------------------------------ 7 June, 1927

Gellert,

You certainly have the Wizarding World in quite an uproar. This is the eighth day consecutively that you have been the headliner of the Daily Prophet. That was quite the escape. I would tell you that your actions in the Americas as a whole were foolish, if they weren't so entirely amusing. The scarf was a nice touch, my but you did look dashing in newsprint. Tell me, how did you manage the American accent? I've heard that it's something to do with the mouth, it just sounds like they're attacking their words to me. They may have won the war, but they lost their ability to articulate without committing linguistic violence.

In his latest efforts to staunch global uprising, Travers has put me under a curfew, and has had my international travel rights not just restricted, but suspended. I have never sympathized more strongly with the third years who are denied permission to leave the grounds to go to Hogsmeade, at this rate I may never use the restriction as a punishment again and plan to actively protest it at our next staff meeting.

They haven't realized it yet, but the closer that the Ministry presses to me the further they find themselves from you.

That they are not having my mail searched is an oversight. Travers is hungry, but not overly bright. I have little doubt that if he wins the next election for Prime Minister, he will find that the entirety of the Commonwealth plays into your hand rather than his own. It is no secret between us that I do not agree with your plans, but it is less of a secret that I disagree with Travers'.

I thought we might meet in Paris this time around; now that you're free of your incarceration we are due for it, but if you are amenable, Hogsmeade could be our Paris. I have something to tell you about the boy you found in the Americas, and Travers is entirely convinced the only trouble I can get up to is outside of the country.

Please bring pastries, and coffee, I am gasping for it. Italian preferred. What they pass off in the village as coffee is absolute dishwater, and if we're taking my brother's attempt into account some may actually well be dishwater. There is not in all the nations a more vile and bitter drink.

Yours

Albus Dumbledore

Cozy Days Gshade Preset by Savythatsimmer

✨ It's inspired by summertime, warmer days, and coziness. ✨

I was also inspired to create a preset that was close to the main ones I used to use. I used similar elements and new shaders, I've never used before. It was really fun making my preset my own. Time consuming, but fun!

My goal was to make a preset that doesn't hurt your eyes, you can still read your UI, and take beautiful screenshots, and feel like your game colors are enhanced. I will probably make a more powerful/heavier preset in the future but this is my light version at the moment. It's important to me that simmers can be included.

✨Most importantly I really wanted to create a gshade that was amazing on all skin tones, which was vital when creating this. It has always been difficult for me to find gshades that do not make my sims that have darker skin tones have a reddish tone, that's always been frustrating for me. So i'm really hoping that I captured that here!

My hopes are that simmers that don't have the best computers can still use this preset without issues. That's why I decided to use quint mxao instead of mxao by itself. Also the magicbloom effect gives it that glowy feel, if that bothers you, you can also turn off that setting in the panel.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lastly - there are two different file versions to make it easier on you while playing and when you want to take screenshots.

[for-the-greater-good-1899]

Headcanon:

When the blood troth broke after their brief battle in Bhutan, Albus was completely devastated that it finally broke, especially right after those heartbreaking words; 'Who will love you now, Dumbledore?'. After their battle ended, Albus scooped up what was left of the blood troth he could salvage, and he carries it with him wherever he goes. It will never be the same unless a new one is ever created, but even so he used his wand to repair it to the point it could, at least, be worn again- Even if he can't feel him now, as devastating as that is. He could, and never will bare to be able to rid himself of it, even now. Because it means he is giving up on him- On them. Making the blood troth in the first place was essentially them getting married, and is practically the same symbolization as a wedding ring. They planned to run away together- They had eloped. Even in his later years, after Grindelwalds' defeat and becoming headmaster at Hogwarts, even now he carries it with him. Still sees him- Them, in the mirror of erised. No one else has and never will have Albus Dumbledore's heart besides Gellert Grindelwald.

Neither of them wanted to break the blood troth not only because they didn't want to fight one another- The breaking of a blood troth between two wizards results in it being excruciatingly emotionally/mentally painful, and the toll it leaves on both halves who make the blood troth is complete and utter agony beyond imaginable to anyone else who has not experienced it. When it broke, it was why Grindelwald's expression was twisted the way he was- He was trying to keep his calm and cool composure before he made his escape to flee the ministry. (idea credit to @magicblooms )

Electricity.

It crackled through the air, and before the spell had the chance to completely strike Credence down- They all drew their wands, just like so many decades ago back at Godric's Hollow- He'd been watching Gellert out of the corner of his eye, knowing he was prone to doing something, anything drastic when he felt he was cornered. Two brothers against Gellert Grindelwald, to protect an obscurial. If anyone was dying tonight, by Merlin's beard it would not be another obscurial he would let die by their hands, but to protect. He heard a snap as the chain on the blood troth broke, and his eyes flickered up quickly to those mismatched ones he'd fallen in love with so many years ago at Godric's Hollow, reading the look on his face.

They were suddenly surrounded in some kind of impenetrable force field, a magical fog as the blood troth hung in the air beside him. He quickly pulled out his wand, blasting spells back and fourth as the air around them crackled with electricity of the raw power between them- No holding back this time. Blasts of spells and debris and raw power crashed around them as they duelled, growing closer and closer still. Until he had his wand aimed at his lover, his best friend, his everything, his other hand resting over his heart at they stared intensely at one another.

Albus was the first to power down his wand.

He swallowed thickly at the feeling of Gellerts hand against his own chest, clenched there, silently begging him to stay. He lowered his wand, looking up when he saw the fog beginning to clear.. An opening. He held his mismatched gaze for a long time, before he forced himself to walk away. Every step away from him, after seeing him in person, so close like this, for the first time in a long time- Felt like complete agony.

"Who will love you now, Dumbledore?."

Crack.

As he continued to walk away from him, with the combined feeling of the blood troth breaking at those words- It felt as if he had used the Cruciatius curse on him. His entire body burned, mind and heart as if he was on fire the second it broke on the steps of the palace. Jaw tightened at the feeling of holding back the absolute agony coursing through his veins, and those words made it feel as if he had been punched in the gut. Eyes staring up at him as he watched him stumble back, staring like a trapped animal at the rest of them. @magicblooms

He  had  chalked  it  up  to  the  time  of  year.  Everyone  moved  a  lot  slower  in  the  colder  months.  Between  the  bustle  of  prepping  for  the  holidays  and  the  weather  making  it  difficult  to  do  anything  but  laze  about  a  cozy  fire,  it  wasn't  uncommon  for  Albus  to  have  less  energy  than  usual  except...

Except  there  was  pain  this  year  ---  and  a  lot  of  it.  Granted  he  was  getting  older  but  the  thing  was,  he  wasn't  THAT  old.  Certainly  not  old  enough  that  pain  should  be  nagging  at  every  inch  of  his  body  some  days.  Pompey  seemed  to  agree.  A  slew  of  testing  led  her  to  believe  that  this  ailment  he  had  wasn't  common.

❝Magical,  me  thinks,❞  she  said  after  running  numerous  tests  upon  him.  A  blood  sample  was  taken  and  after  an  hour  or  so,  she  found  Albus  within  his  office,  a  grim  look  upon  her  face.  ❝It's  poison,  sir.  In  your  blood.  Active.❞

Active?  His  puzzled  look  led  to  an  explanation  detailing  how  experimentation  concluded  that  it  would  only  worsen  in  time  if  they  didn't  find  a  solution  quickly.  He  dismissed  her  with  a  smile  then  when  he  was  certain  he  would  not  be  disturbed,  he  plopped  down  in  his  desk  chair,  a  slight  hiss  of  pain  leaving  him.  The  pain  had  worsened,  but  he'd  live.  Surely  it  would  go  away  right?

Except  it  did  not  go  away.  With  just  a  few  weeks  left  until  Christmas,  the  pain  was  becoming  unbearable.  He  got  through  his  classes  with  magical  pain  killers,  put  on  a  smile  whenever  friends  came  to  visit,  but  beneath  the  long  coats  and  robes  was  the  object  he  half  suspected  had  something  to  do  with  his  condition.  In  the  night  hours,  it  often  elicited  a  glow  he  hadn't  seen  since  the  night  he  made  the  pact.  Other  times  the  object  would  coil  about  his  wrist,  squeezing  and  reminding  him  of  the  pain  he  fought  to  ignore  from  day  to  day.  It  wasn't  until  during  one  of  his  dark  arts  lessons  that  he  realized  something  was  really  amiss.  The  simple  act  of  scaring  a  boggart   backfired  tremendously.  The  spell  'Riddikulus!'  did  not  work  and  to  save  face,  he  held  his  student's  hand,  feeding  off  of  their  magic  to  finish  the  boggart  off.  The  kids  hardly  thought  anything  of  it,  but  when  Albus  was  alone  again,  he  was  shaking.

My  magic...

Something  was  horribly  wrong.  Was  he... dying?  Quite  possibly  and  the  thing  was,  there  was     no  stopping  it.  The  troth  didn't  exactly  come  with  a  set  of  instructions  but  more  than  ever  now,  he  was  beginning  to  suspect  that  the  troth  was  doing  it.  But  why  though?  ------  And  after  all  this  time?  He  pondered  and  paced  to  no  avail.  He  simply  had  no  answer.  

Groaning  in  pain,  Albus  rolled  over  in  his  bed,  forcing  himself  into  a  magically  induced  coma.  If  he  was  asleep  the  pain  was  less  noticeable. This  didn't  solve  the  problem  but  at  the  very  least,  it  offered  temporary  relief...  (  @magicblooms​ )

Send 🏥 for your muse to visit mine in hospital.

Brown eyes slowly find their focus on the other in the room. He had overdone it this time with his Obscurus. He will recover eventually, overuse his unique and destructive power, and wind up back here, or his body finally gives up.

For now he will recover. Just a lot of rest was required. "I don't expect you brought some get well soon cards and candies?"
