One great 'Dumbledore Grindelwald fanfic' is 'The Greater Good'. It delves deep into their complex relationship, exploring how their ideologies diverged. It has well - written dialogues that really bring out the essence of their characters.
There's also 'Grindelwald's Influence'. This fanfic focuses on how Grindelwald's ideas might have affected Dumbledore in their younger days. It has some interesting plot twists that keep you engaged throughout.
One great piece of Grindelwald and Dumbledore love fanfiction is 'The Lost Years'. It delves deep into their relationship during their younger days. The author beautifully portrays the complex emotions between them, from the initial attraction to the later rift. Another is 'Eternal Bond' which focuses on how their love endures through all the challenges and battles they face. It's a heart - warming read.
I really like 'Shadows of the Past'. This fanfic explores the emotional turmoil that Dumbledore must have felt when facing Grindelwald. It's well - written, with vivid descriptions that make you feel as if you're right there in the wizarding world with them.
One common theme is the struggle between good and evil. Their relationship is at the center of this, as Dumbledore represents good and Grindelwald represents a more complex form of evil. Another theme is the power of friendship and how it can turn sour.
Aberforth Dumbledore can be a very important character in these fanfictions. He is Albus Dumbledore's brother and has his own feelings and history related to his brother and Grindelwald. He might be the one who tries to bring his brother back from the brink when Dumbledore is too involved with Grindelwald. Also, Leta Lestrange could be popular. Her family's dark reputation and her own complex relationship with Newt and the wizarding world in general can add an extra layer of drama to the fanfictions involving Dumbledore and Grindelwald.
Another factor is the lack of in - depth exploration of their relationship in the official books and movies. Fanfic provides a platform for fans to fill in those gaps. Writers can create scenarios that show their relationship from different angles, be it romantic, platonic or a complex mix of both, which appeals to a wide range of readers.
Well, Dumbledore and Grindelwald's relationship was quite nuanced. In their youth, they were drawn to each other, not just as friends but with a deeper, more passionate connection that could be considered love. They planned great things together, but Grindelwald's vision turned towards domination and darkness. Dumbledore was torn between his feelings for Grindelwald and his sense of justice. Their story is a tragic one of love that was lost in the face of opposing values and the battle between good and evil in the wizarding world.
Their story is complex and involves a deep friendship that turned sour due to their different beliefs about magic and its use.
Well, it could be that Dumbledore has some sort of hidden device or spell that he activates when kidnapped. For example, he could have a charmed object that sends a signal to his allies, like the Order of the Phoenix. His allies then come to his rescue and he manages to escape during the chaos. Also, Dumbledore is extremely intelligent. He might outwit Grindelwald by engaging him in a complex conversation full of riddles and misdirections, which gives him an opportunity to break free.
One interesting plotline could be exploring their early days at Hogwarts together. Maybe they were both brilliant students with different outlooks that gradually diverged. Another could be a story where they meet again after Dumbledore defeats Grindelwald, and there are still unresolved feelings and thoughts between them. A third one might be a fanfiction that delves into an alternate universe where they actually work together to achieve some 'greater good' that they both misinterpreted in different ways.
There's also 'Fate's Twist' which is really interesting. In this fanfic, fem Harry's character development is intertwined with Grindelwald's. The author does a great job of showing how their encounters change both of them. It delves deep into their personalities and how they interact with the wizarding world around them. The story also has some great plot twists that keep you on the edge of your seat. For example, there are moments where fem Harry has to choose between her loyalty to her friends and her growing fascination with Grindelwald's ideas.
