Summary
Albus Dumbledore is exceptional, a child prodigy, adorned with prizes, praise, and the steady rise to fame. But he’s also lonely, now more than ever as his dreams to see the world are taken away and he's trapped in the dull, tiny town of Godric’s Hollow. His only company is the siblings in his care and the books on his shelf. Until he meets Gellert. Gellert is exceptional, a child prodigy, a genius. But he's bored and angry, kicked out of school and sent away from home in hopes his aunt will be able to coddle him back to the good boy he'd never really been.
Albus and Gellert have both spent so long living in a world no one else understood, and Gellert shows Albus how much more there is to life when that's embraced, not run from. Gellert, with his visions, his ideas of revolution, his pretty eyes, might be exactly what Albus needs to escape. And Albus, with his brilliance, sweet disposition, and maddening soul is exactly what Gellert needs to be set free.

Summary
September 1898: Gellert Grindelwald, einst Schüler auf Durmstrang, wechselt für seine letzten beiden Schuljahre an die Schule für Hexerei und Zauberei - Hogwarts. Dort ist er auf der Suche nach Antworten und nach Menschen, die bereit sind, ihm im Sinne seiner Ideen zu dienen und zu folgen.
Sein Ehrgeiz erreicht neue Ausmaße, als Schulleiter Professor Phineas Nigellus Black das Trimagische Turnier ankündigt, denn Gellert sieht darin die Möglichkeit, die Bekanntheit und Anerkennung zu erlangen, die er braucht, um seinem Ziel einer gerechteren Welt näherzukommen.
Doch dazu muss er erst einmal an Albus Dumbledore vorbei - dem beliebten Schulsprecher aus dem Siebten Jahr, den alle Welt zu bewundern scheint. Dessen Charme sieht Gellert jedoch bald als Chance, um Gefolge um sich zu scharen. Nur vergisst er dabei, dass auch er Gefühle hat, die ihm im Wege stehen könnten...--------------------------------------------------
Was wäre passiert, wenn Gellerts und Albus' Wege sich schon früher gekreuzt hätten - in Hogwarts? Was würde es am Laufe der Geschichte ändern?

Summary
Albus Dumbledore dies at 115, killed by Severus Snape as planned. He wakes up at eighteen, wrapped in Gellert Grindelwald's arms in a half-timbered house in Germany, and thinks he's been granted heaven.
Then he gets hungry.It's the summer of 1899. Ariana is still alive. Gellert hasn't yet become the darkest wizard of the age. And Albus has weeks—maybe—to change everything that went wrong the first time.

Summary
They say a burnt child dreads the fire. People naturally feared the repetition of patterns that'd once brought them pain.
What they forgot to add was that this didn't apply universally. Not everyone was so afraid of getting burnt to never approach the fire again.
The burnt child loves the fire. A paradox? Maybe. Maybe not.
---
"Are you with me, Albus? I need to hear it."
"I– Fine. For the greater good, Gellert, I'm with you."
---
"I was in your mind. You were in mine. We merged. We didn't mean to. Didn't mean to consciously."
"Does that mean we failed in what we were trying to do? Or did we succeed?"
"I'd classify it as a mutual mastery of Legilimency. And, similarly... a perfect failure of Occlumency on both sides."
"The wall cracked. Once I broke through, it didn't come back."
---
Albus Dumbledore remembered. He had felt powerful.
---
Every loss began with something precious he thought he could keep.
Back then, he didn't yet know the price, which had seemed so bearable at the time of gaining, would turn out to be far too high – and that hope would never be the feeling he would associate with the summer of 1899.Series

“Oh, wouldn't that be wonderful?”, Aziraphale asks with a dreamy expression: “I haven't danced in literal centuries!”
When Aziraphale sees a sign for classical dancing lessons, he wants to try it out. Of course he needs a partner and of course that partner is Crowley.

Summary
"I hate to think of them pining after each other and not realising. It’s the things you don’t say that you regret, isn’t it?"
Adam Young overhears a conversation and decides that, really, people making themselves miserable for no reason is completely pointless. Barbara Cartland novels, flowers and love songs can't do any harm, surely...
Aziraphale and Crowley, for their part, deal with his interference as well as you might imagine.

Summary
It's a year after the almost-apocalypse. Aziraphale makes Crowley go see a therapist.
“Have you been having any issues in particular?”
“Issues? Such as?”
“You tell me.” She could tell he had something on the tip of his tongue.
Crowley sat for a second, then blurted out, “He thinks I’ve been sleeping too much. He’s worried.”
