Summary
On the 10.02.1929, the world draws a breath when lives hangs in the balance. The vision has come to pass as Gellert Grindelwald foresaw it, though, in the after, that is of fairly little consequence. There is only Death, and his antidote, a life of torment. The spark grew to flame, and the inferno consumed it all. There is only ashes, now.
Meanwhile, two unlikely teams attempt their utmost to ensure the survival of their friends- nay, family, learning a great many things about those they love so fiercely. If all else fails, one can always rely on one's great-aunt. One's great-cousin! One's... godchild and adopted family? Or... on one's mother...? One's grandpa? Or one's... half-sibling?! Wait, we're getting ahead of ourselves.
Explore a new era between the lowest of lows and the highest of highs, spanning from Hogwarts to Nurmengard, and India to Ilvermorny, from second chances under Parisian starlight to dragonfyre in Hungary, from a crypt in Yorkshire to the bowels of Hogsmeade. After all, many mysteries await.
And, maybe, just maybe, there is something to the Dumbledore family legend, a companion coming to any member in need. And in direst need, perhaps some can simply become phoenixes themselves.

Not the Vacation Minerva Had in Mind by La_Rascasse_Volante

Summary
Professor Dumbledore used to see himself as someone with a good eye for holiday destinations. While he'd spent the last few summers decaying quietly in his office chair like a forgotten tea biscuit, he still believes he can trust his taste to pick a pleasant spot for a well-earned winter break. So when he has time away from Headmaster duties, he seizes his chance.
Minerva heartily approved his "holiday" in the Austrian Alps, insisting he'd long needed fresh air.
(He might have neglected to tell her he wasn't going to ski but meet up with a convicted criminal.)
---
"What could you possibly need to tell me that warranted such humility?"
"I've wanted to tell you for years..."
"Yes?"
"It was me. My spell killed her."
---
Instead of a reply, Albus closes the distance between them and wraps his arms around the old man he'd once defeated, once imprisoned, once broken.
The Dark Wizard stiffens and draws in a voiceless gasp, almost as though he's just been stabbed, not hugged. But he doesn't pull away.
Neither of them does. They can't.Series

Summary
Harry Potter wasn't the only person who had always expected Professor McGonagall to be there. Irascible and inflexible, perhaps, but always dependably, solidly present. With her father's cast-iron moral sense and a heart of gold buried beneath a stern exterior. This story focuses on the inner workings of the woman who was never far from Dumbledore's right hand side.

Summary
Looking up as the view over the mountainous path ahead of him finally starts to reveal those spiraling dark towers hidden amidst snowy white peaks, Harry reflects again on all the other little moments of his life that have led up to this one, and whether there was anything he could ever have done differently to end up someplace else. He wonders what awaits him in the sunless days ahead and whether all of the hardship he endured on this journey will have been worth it by the end.
What is possibly most damning of all is that he is not thinking of his parents right now as he trudges alongside his companions up to Voldemort’s eerie castle. He is thinking instead, as he often does, of a name that burns too brightly on his wrist in the pre-dawn light. He is thinking of what could have been, what has never been, what will never be.
He is wondering if somehow the fruitless tugging on his heart means that somewhere, some way, Tom is watching over him. He wonders what his faceless ghost would think of him if he could see him now.

Summary
All his life, Gellert Grindelwald had been envied for his visions of the future. ‘You’ll never be unprepared’, they joked, not knowing about the sleepless nights and the mental torment he went through, as he bargained for peace of mind and sanity alike.
When his visions revealed his personal fate, he did everything in his power to prevent it from becoming reality.
He failed.AU where the final duel between Grindelwald and Dumbledore never takes place, as tragedy befell one party much earlier, forcing the other party to resort to the darkest arts.

Summary
“It did not satisfy him to serve as a passive oracle. Where others saw prophecy as inescapable doom, he saw a weapon. The Sight, to him, was no longer merely a gift. It had become a skill.”
In the highest tower of Nurmengard, Gellert Grindelwald plays his violin, not to entertain, but to summon the future. Through its restless defiance, he reaches not for the indulgence of music, but for the discipline it demands and the visions it yields. This is not performance. This is control made absolute.
A character study in prophecy, power, and precision.

Summary
Seamus Finnegan has always loved fire, but seldom found himself able to control it. After his mother dies when he's five, Seamus learns she has arranged to have him sent to his only living magical relative — Gellert Grindelwald. In Nurmengard Castle, Seamus continued to develop his affinity for fire and explosions, to his grandfather's amusement, and when it comes time to go to Hogwarts, Grindelwald leaves him with the instruction to give Albus hell — but not to let him die unless it's from an aneurysm Seamus gives him.
(Inspired by a throwaway line from Harry Potter and the Den of Snakes in which a character reports gossip that Seamus Finnegan is actually Gellert Grindelwald's grandson. More tags will be added as the story progresses.)
