Hi, I saw one of your posts where you said people could submit prompts. Could you write a fic where Grindelwald drunk floos Albus or some equivalent? Thank you.
Out of every way Vinda thought this night would go, she hadn’t expected to cut her date with Queenie short to drag her drunk as hell boss back to their temporary HQ in Paris.
The French woman and the American had been enjoying a light dinner in a café off the Seine, she was about to try kissing the sweet blonde when she glanced outside the restaurant to see a stranger supporting Gellert. The stranger, a red haired wizard, seemed to be looking for someone as he tried to keep Gellert steady.
“Qu’cest-ce qui se passe?!”
Queenie gasped a bit when she saw it in Vinda’s head. The two of them rushed outside where the Stranger was gently trying to drop Gellert onto a bench. He ended up falling in a tangle of limbs that made the stranger sigh.
“Qui êtes-vous?” Vinda asked, her wand out and pointed at the stranger.
“Vindaaa!” Gellert slurred, grinning at Queenie who gaped at Gellert.
“Albus Dumbledore?”
The stranger gave a small embarrassed smile as he moved to sit down next to Gellert, moving the German to rest his blonde head on Albus’ lap.
“Why are you with him?” Vinda asked, wand still out. Gellert had spoken to her about Albus, about their relationship. It was initially what brought Vinda to his side- to be able to love who she wished without persecution.
Before the Englishman could answer, Queenie tried to stifle a laugh.
She waved off her questioning gaze, telling Mr. Dumbledore to explain.
“I’m not sure how but Gellert managed to apparate inside Hogwarts and he was already like this.” This being completely shitfaced drunk.
“Allll,” Gellert tried to say, reaching up to clumsily grasp at Albus’ face. Albus sighed, gently taking Gellert’s hand off his face.
“Yes, Gellert?”
“You- mmm du liebst mich, ja?” Vinda and Queenie froze, even if the blonde woman didn’t understand German the power and meaning of the question was clear through the language gap.
Dumbledore sighed, brushing his thumb over Gellert’s cheek. Vinda didn’t think she’d ever seen a man look so distraught, so wanting but lost.
“Yes, you insufferable siren of a man, I do.”
-
If, the next day, when Gellert woke up with a pounding headache and a hangover potion with a note underneath it- the German was left wondering exactly what the hell he did.
Picking up the note, he scanned the context and felt more confused.
‘Gellert,
You should come by for Tea soon. Bring Aurelius, whom you would not shut up about last night despite your Lieutenant and the Legilimens pleas. -Albus.’
The ‘A’ Gellert noted was in the familiar symbol of the Hallows. Something he hadn’t seen Albus do since their…estrangement.
Taking the Hangover potion, he noted just how strong it was. By Merlin and Morgana, how drunk had he been last night?!
Apparently drunk enough to seduce Albus, again. Which, while Gellert had no complaints about this development, the German was a little concerned he’d gotten carried away that much. The big question was, how much did he tell Albus about Aurelius?
That could make things exceeding difficult.
(This was a lot of fun to write, thank you for the prompt! Also shout out to @chalenmimi-frenchtoast for help with French

So. That pendant. The one forming between Dumbledore and Grindelwald after their bloodpact. That pendant.
I may or may not have ordered a replica. I may or may not just have received confirmation that it is being shipped.
And I. AM. EXCITED.

I’m freaking out about the implications of the ending of the new Fantastic Beasts film, and I’ve developed a somewhat far-fetched theory
WARNING: SPOILERS, SPOILERS, SPOILERS. It’s like a three-year-old gallon of milk around here. Beware.
Do NOT click the link below if you haven’t seen The Crimes of Grindelwald film.
So Credence is supposedly a brother of Albus Dumbledore named Aurelius Dumbledore. We’re all still reeling from that one, but I think I may have an idea of how Jo’s going to make something that, timeline-wise, doesn’t really make sense, actually work out to be true.
But first, let’s lay out the possibilities with respect to this revelation.
1. Credence is indeed Albus Dumbledore’s younger brother.
Issues: if he is a Dumbledore and is related to Albus through the blood of their father (which we will assume, since Kendra Dumbledore wasn’t born into, but married into, the Dumbledore family), then he would have had to have been conceived after their (and Aberforth and Ariana’s) father was already arrested and locked up in Azkaban for attacking the muggle boys who attacked Ariana. But Albus’ father supposedly died in Azkaban when he was young, and so by that timeline, Aurelius would be much older than Credence is.
2. Credence is a relative of Albus Dumbledore, but not his brother.
This seems the most likely case? After all, he does have the phoenix talent-connection-thingy, but then why would Grindelwald have told a little white lie in calling him Albus’ brother? It seems to me that Grindelwald tells big lies big time, but doesn’t waste energy on little ones. After all, why would calling him Albus’ long-lost brother make a particular difference to Credence than just calling him his long-lost uncle or cousin or what have you?? The emotional push Credence needs to follow Grindelwald (and remain in constant meltdown mode) is just to believe that his own blood family doesn’t love him and is trying to kill him (which, Albus isn’t, but Credence doesn’t know that).
3. Credence is no relative of Albus Dumbledore at all, and Grindelwald is lying.
A few things seem to support this.1) Timing. Credence is too young to have been born to either of Albus’ parents before they died. 2) What proof do we really have that Grindelwald isn’t lying, save for the phoenix bit? 3) On some level, it just seems TOO ironic and intertwined to believe that Dumbledore’s sibling was swapped with the Lestrange child who was Newt’s friend/childhood love’s brother. Too many coincidences here.
4. Credence is Aurelius, but somehow Aurelius was born into the Dumbledore family before Ariana’s abuse by the muggle boys when she was small. Potentially, Aurelius was sent away (maybe even without Albus or Aberforth knowing about him), but for some reason didn’t grow up in real time.
What could Jo cook up to make this happen? Initially, I thought “no idea”, but she’s already challenged what we think we know about the rules of magic PLENTY of times in these two movies--think obscurus for one, Nagini being a real person (!!) under a blood curse for two, and then the new development with Dumbledore and Grindelwald having taken a blood oath, which seems to be akin to an unbreakable vow, though possibly and probably deadlier, for three. (More on how she might achieve this later.)
But let me take a little detour to note a few interesting clues or holes that might be important in this discussion before I propose my (very untidy and underdeveloped) theory.
Who was Credence with on the ship before it sank? (And also, what was the ship that sank? Was this the Titanic or Lusitania or some other real-world sinking that Jo has appropriated, or is it just a generic ship that we can’t attach to real history?) We know that Leta had swapped her real genetic half-brother, Corvus Lestrange, an infant, with another baby (who turns out to be Credence). So when the ship sinks, the family that was in possession of Credence (whether actually his relatives or not) drowns with fake-Credence-who-is-actually-real-Corvus-Lestrange when their lifeboat capsizes. SO WHO ARE THEY? It looked like a black (??) woman in the brief shot that picked him up to take him from the crib, and then the woman (the same?? I don’t recall) swimming toward him when they’re drowning, and that’s pretty much all we know.
Related to the Previous Thought:
Why does Corvus Lestrange (Leta and baby Corvus’ father--yes, they have the same name just to make things difficult) play a role in this film in supporting Grindelwald? We see him in the ministry at the beginning, taking the “job” that Newt won’t (i.e. going after Credence to kill him in Paris), but then later, he has a nice little chat with Grindelwald under a bridge where he informs Grindelwald that he killed the Lestrange nurse (WHY?), and that he is going to have a tough time with the Ministry officials for letting Credence “get away”. If, presumably, Corvus believed that the obscurial, Credence, was his son (we don’t, but it’s possibly a safe assumption), why would he be trying to help get him to Grindelwald? Maybe because he saw Grindelwald as a way to save his (or who he believes is) his child that he had adored? The important question, though, is: Does Corvus Lestrange (the father) know anything about Aurelius Dumbledore, and what role (if any) will he play for Grindelwald’s rise to power in the coming films?
This one’s a bit of a tangent, but I think it’s worth considering and investigating: I’m curious where Bathilda Bagshot is in all of this Dumbledore/Grindelwald business. We know that she introduced the two teenagers to each other all those years ago in Godric’s Hollow, and that Grindelwald was there because she was his great-aunt, whom he was visiting. Is it possible that Credence is actually part of Grindelwald’s family, not Dumbledore’s, and that Grindelwald lied to him because he’s going to use Credence against Dumbledore somehow in the midst of this shifty blood oath business? I don’t know if this question goes anywhere, but I think it’s worth asking if our favorite wizarding author (okay, maybe Hermione’s and mine, at least) and magical historian will make an appearance.
Grindelwald and Dumbledore’s blood oath seems to be waving a red flag in our faces when it’s announced at the very end of the film, in literally the exact same scene, as Credence’s blood relation to Dumbledore is revealed. Somehow, Credence--or Aurelius, I should say, since none of us is convinced that they ARE, in fact, the same person--seems like he’s going to play a HUGE PART in Dumbledore figuring out how to break that blood oath, or in how Grindelwald is able to break it (OR maybe protect it in order to protect himself from Dumbledore??).
And lastly:
Aurelius is a Latin/Roman name, taken most famously from Marcus Aurelius, a Roman emperor and philosopher. It means “golden” or “gilded”--and this got me thinking. Maybe it isn’t significant, but Jo does love to play with names and she doesn’t pick them willy-nilly. Of course, the name fits with all the other ‘A’ Dumbledore siblings (Albus, Aberforth, Ariana), so that does suggest a hint of authenticity (or at least plausibility) to the existence of such a brother, but if he DOES exist--is that even Credence?
But then I noticed something else about the meaning in the name. Gold has to do with (it’s used in) ALCHEMY. The Sorcerer’s Stone can turn any metal into pure gold à la King Midas. D’you think somehow that Albus, in his involvement/partnership with Nicholas Flamel, found a way to keep his infant brother (see possibilities #1 and #3) alive for years without him aging??
OR, maybe there were only three Dumbledore siblings after all, but after Ariana’s “death”, Dumbledore found a way with Flamel to take her obscurus, and revive it as a new person, or, at the very least, attach it to a person (to form an obscurial)? Could Aurelius be a name that Albus Dumbledore gave to this child when they brought a part of Ariana back to life as a little boy? A child who was brought back to life through alchemy would make sense to have a name having to do with gold, for sure.
In fact, it would almost make even more sense, because perhaps Dumbledore’s alchemy partnership with Flamel was born from his interest in trying to bring his sister back after her death (and his heavy guilt over it), rather than the other way around.
Finally, I have to ask a question here: Why the hell was Flamel in this movie in the first place? What real function did he serve? Jo could’ve pulled in any minor character--or made one up!--to throw in a place for a safehouse and have an extra wizard body to help stop the weird blue flames from destroying Paris in the end, so WHY PICK FLAMEL? It seems to me that he has yet to fully serve his purpose in this film series and that he will come back to haunt us (with a very old and zombie-like, and yet very real body) later in a more significant plot role.

So I watched The Crimes Of Grindelwald today and omg I'm fascinated! Could you please, please write me a soft and maybe a little angsty Grindeldore story? That would be absolutely amazing! Thank you so much, love Chrissy♡
Gellert was practically shaking with excitement. Finally, he had his son with him again- now, if only Albus were here too. He hadn’t recognized it in Aurelius, at first. Of course, the Obscurial was powerful- look at who its parents were. Albus and Gellert were in a league of their own, and so would their son.
Everything soon would be as it should be, though that required Aurelius to no longer be afraid of him.
“Is he frightened of me still?” The german whispered to the newest addition to his acolytes, Ms. Queenie Goldstein.
She eyed the young man carefully through the cracked door before looking back at Gellert,
“You need to be careful. He’s not sure he made the right choice. Be very gentle with him.”
He nodded at her, dismissing her. Once she was gone, he continued to watch his unknowing son for a moment
Aside from his dark hair and eyes, Gellert could easily see a lot of Albus in him. His desire to be loved, to be wanted were just like Albus when Gellert first met him.
The wizard had been so quiet when Gellert first met him. Tante Bathilda had been so excited to introduce them, talking on and on about how brilliant Albus was.
Gellert hadn’t believed it, this shy soft spoken man? That was until he got Albus talking and it quickly became evident how truly amazing he was. Thinking about how Albus was in their youth made Gellert’s heart ache.
The way Albus had looked at him the first time they’d laid together, how Albus would shout his name like he was worshipping ancient gods.
Albus would murmur Gellert’s name in his sleep more often than not, always rolling over in bed to search for Gellert if he woke up and the German wasn’t already holding him.
As it always did, these thoughts always led to when he last saw Albus. The rage and the tears from those sparkling blue eyes- the unfamiliar hate that shattered Gellert’s heart.
Moving away from the door for a moment, Gellert closed his eyes and leaned against the wall. He needed to be calm before talking to Aurelius.
He couldn’t think about Albus right now, even so his hand moved to grasp the vial he wore in his vest. The feeling in Gellert when he realized it was gone was indescribably awful. His heart had dropped through the floor as his horror rose.
Many would have assumed Gellert kept such a trinket to keep Albus under control. And while that aspect was incredibly helpful until he convinced Albus to return to his side, the real reason he kept it on him at all time was a bit more nostalgic.
He could still hear the soft sharp gasp that escaped Albus’ lips as he cut open his palm- could feel their magics intertwining. The moment their eyes locked as their hands met. Those wide blue eyes that held so much trust, so much love for him.
And then it all got ruined.
He bit back a sigh, his hand grasping at the loose and empty chain. As soon as he talked to Credence, he’d return to Paris. He would find their vial. Gellert couldn’t let that vial be found by anyone else. It wasn’t anyone else’s damn business.
It was between himself and Albus (and their son, by Merlin and Morgana- they had a child!) and no one else. It kept Albus from entering the fight, kept him from danger.
Though, his most loyal knew better than to hurt Albus. That idiot Krall got what he deserved- threatening Albus like that.
If he couldn’t keep Albus actively out of the fight through the vial, then other steps would have to be made. He’d do what he had to keep his foolish phoenix safe.
Until he saw the truth, saw that everything Gellert did was for the greater good, for their son and for him.
Everything was for Albus.
(A.N. I hope you like it Chrissy! Writing a love-struck Gellert is very fun
