Grindeldore Big Bang - Only You by Oshun, Chapter 3 - The Tales of Beedle the Bard
Please check out the artwork of ghostangel and the fanmix for this work by queenofthebobs linked below. Thank you both for your lovely contributions. Also, want to thank the grindeldorebb moderator sphynxle for organizing this Big Bang.
Title: Only You, Chapter 3 - The Tales of Beedle the Bard
Author: Oshun (heartofoshun)
Rating: Eventually reaches an R (this chapter still PG-13)
Word Count: Total approximate length 14-15,000 in five chapters; this chapter 3,350.
Artists: fabledtruant, ghostangel; see ghostangel's art work here: http://grindeldorebb.livejournal.com/6777.html [Will include other links to artwork when I receive them.]
Fanmixer: queenofthebobs Find the the mix here.
Extraordinary Beta: ignoblebard; he is my "go to" man! Thank you so much, my friend!
Summary: This is the story of how Dumbledore meets, falls in love with and loses Grindelwald. Pure canon (very close anyway, if one includes book verse, JKR interviews and my own relentless extrapolation!), which means it cannot have a happy ending. All and all I hope it projects the old adage that it is better to have loved and lost than never loved at all. Teaser: ”Magic like his is a marvel that I have only encountered a few times in my life and that was my first experience. I had no defense against it. My own magic strained and buzzed beneath my skin in a barely controllable response.”
[Apologies in advance that this thing is taking forever to post. Will fill in links to future chapters as I post.]
