#grindeldore holiday exchange

[finitepeace]

my favorite grindeldore, read in 2022

last year we got divorced grindeldore so it isn’t really a surprise for me to immediately dove into grindeldore tag in ao3. here are some of my favorites (9 fics): 

Beautiful Nightmare by occamybite (words: 4540) 

Albus Dumbledore wakes up with his partner, Gellert Grindelwald, in a world that they rule together For the Greater Good.

And in their triumph die, like fire and powder by ambivalens (mads999) (words:4878) 

 On the eve of his death, Albus Dumbledore goes to Nurmengard.

Most Desperate Desire by malfoytheunanxious (words:  2,299) 

[MINOR CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD SPOILERS] "What do you see when you look in the mirror, Professor?" How could he explain to an 11-year-old boy that he saw someone who once was closer than a brother to him, and now was his biggest regret? (Grindeldore)

Till Death Do Us Part by Ascel, The_Marron (words: 5259)

 Or Five Times Albus Dumbledore Divorced Gellert Grindelwald and One Time He Actually, Legally Could.

in ourselves by Roflskate (words: 2k) 

"The vision only confirms what he’s always known. He is destined to do great things."

-

Four times Gellert Grindelwald couldn't predict the future, and one time that he could. 2k

Lines We've Crossed by Ascel (WIP, 34k) 

In another world, when a niffler slips free in a catacombs of Père Lachaise, he finds his way to a silver pendant hanging from a coat of a strange looking man. It's not particularly shiny, but he niffs it anyway, and then goes on his way, until Newt Scamander catches him again. In this world, he doesn't, and so things change.

---

Or: Albus Dumbledore tries to fight a war without fighting at all, and then has to decide what cause is truly worth fighting for. 

Grey house by Spellbound_by_moon 

"You can never feel at home when a bigger, better home awaits you elsewhere."

Gellert is devastated by sorrow after the destruction of the blood pact.

_____ Set during and just after the finale scene in The Secrets of Dumbledore.

Their Effect by NiciLupin for azurish (words:6965) 

n which history takes a different course of events and Albus and Gellert live decidedly less lonely lives. (Written for the Grindeldore Holiday Exchange 2016.)

Phoenix Tears by PrincessElectra (46739 words) 

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. 

“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.”

Last Song: A Little Priest from Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2023 Broadway Cast Recording) (Josh Groban and Annaleigh Ashford my parentsss) (technically not last song cuz I’m listening to it now but ya know)

Favorite colors: Red (the blood of angry men) and Black (the dark of ages past) (no seriously those are my favorite colors the Les Mis reference just happens to work)

Last book: Dracula by Bram Stoker

Last movie: Labyrinth (1986)

Last TV show: Will (2017) (genuinely such a good show and nobody knows about it cuz it’s on no streaming services but agh I love it and JAMIE CAMPBELL BOWER MY BELOVED)

Sweet/spicy/savory: Sweet

Relationship status: Turning 22 in less than a week and has never even had a crush on anyone

Last thing I googled: Mary Jane Kelly funeral (Mary Jane Kelly was the fifth and final victim of Jack the Ripper and is the inspiration for a musical I’m writing. I try to take a moment on the anniversaries of her death and her funeral to privately honor her memory. I know her funeral was either the day before or after my birthday, but I can never remember which, so I looked it up)

Current obsession: (This is the part where I look like a lunatic oops…) This one show a nearby theme park does at Halloween (I wish I was joking but it occupies my every thought), high key falling back into my Grindeldore obsession (fuck JKR! fortunately the fan content for this ship is 10x better than anything canon can offer so I don’t have to engage with any of her content to engage with the ship, also JAMIE CAMPBELL BOWER MY BELOVED), and ngl feeling sort of drained of my JD obsession but hoping that the fic exchange will fix it (fingers crossed)

Looking forward to: A Friendsgiving party, my birthday (sort of, but also scared to turn 22 lol), doing holiday season things with friends, PowerPoint night with friends in January 😈 (also seeing aforementioned theme park Halloween show again next year and Halloween next year in general)

Tagging- you all know the drill, hop in if you wanna, I love reading people’s answers to these :)

ten people i'd like to get to know better

tagged by: @megkuna thanks <333

last song: the phantom of the opera

favorite color: muted green

last book: uhhhhhh oh man i really need to start reading books

last movie: phantom of the opera which i watched with a friend

last tv show: the original star trek which i also watched with a friend

sweet/spicy/savory: sweet, i love sugar too much

relationship status: single and not looking, i'd rather just have more friends

last thing i googled: "how to know if skincare routine is too harsh" my pimples hurt in a Different way now :(

current obsession: probably still mob psycho 100 but it's not what it used to be. yay depression

looking forward to: when my family finally moves into the new house

This is my gift for @yumbledore for the The 2020 Grindeldore Holiday Exchange! The prompt was Either one of them has a fever dream about the other... which I loosely followed. Happy Holidays! Hope you like it.

You don’t have to read the 1st page to understand the story, but it gives some back story. Also, I had too much fun making a fake magical medical journal page.

Random rambling, I was happy with how the colors turned out. So rarely does something in my head come out the same on paper. Also, I enjoyed drawing  Albus with a fever a little too much lol. I based the scene of them on the roof on @yumbledore fic Speech Prompts https://archiveofourown.org/works/15943181/chapters/37321772#workskin

[duskyincantations]

[theartbluebox]

Grindeldore Holiday Exchange gift for @queenoftheimps Happy Holidays!

I don’t do angst well, but I hope Albus lamenting lost years in the front of the Mirror of Erised is sad enough.

[schursch]

@thesmartbluebox, here’s a more canon-compliant moodboard for Albus and Gellert, and the seasons and elements of their relationship.

Happy Grindeldormas!
