Summary
Not every villain dies in vain. Some choose to lose.
When young journalist Carlotta Edgecombe is granted three interviews with the most feared prisoner in modern magical history, she doesn’t expect charm. Or laughter. Or the unbearable gravity of a man who once tried to remake the world—and did. Almost. Or more?Locked behind the enchanted walls of Nurmengard, Gellert Grindelwald sits not like a man imprisoned, but like one who allowed the world to catch him. And as Carlotta peels back the layers of his philosophy, his manipulation, and the brutal elegance of his logic, truth becomes hard to ignore.

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
“I think you have your own reasons for wanting to go to Neverland,” Belle says, her voice so soft he has to lean forward to hear it. “And if I knew what those were, maybe I could help you. I could find a way to get you exactly what you need.”
“Like magic?” he asks hoarsely.
She smiles at him, a smile so bright it lights up the whole room. “No,” she says. “Like a friend. If you want.”Rumplestiltskin went through the portal with Baelfire, and together, they fell into a Land Without Magic. But nothing ever comes easy, and when fate leads them to Neverland, Bae must find a way to save his papa from Pan's captivity--even if that means enlisting a bookish princess who asks too many questions.

Summary
When I met Neal Cassidy my mission was simple, to separate him from Emma, to take the anchor from him before he dragged his destiny down with him, but when I saw him looking at her, something inside me twisted, something selfish, something that should never have awakened
I was supposed to run away after convincing him to leave her, but I did not leave, I could not, there was something in Neal that made me stay, I wanted him to choose me.
Emma was still my responsibility and sometimes the guilt bit me harder than any damn curse, she deserved the truth, she deserved to be chosen, but I wanted that, even if only for an instant, Neal would choose me.
And I do not know what Emma would think of me if she knew this, nor what Neal would think if he found out that I never wanted to leave, that I never knew how to stop wanting him to want me.
Or also known as the Tallahassee AU, where August falls in love with Neal, and separates him from Emma not because he needs to protect her destiny but because he wants Neal to love him instead, so he decides to stay with Neal for the next 12 years until Emma breaks the Storybrooke curse.

COMPLETED.
Canon 1899 and beyond/ PREQUEL to 'Here in Today's World.

The village he believed, contained clues that would him lead towards an object. One with such unparalleled power, that could easily assist him in fulfilling his ambition. But it was within this sleepy village in South West England, that he instead came across something else. Something he was not looking for and with time and understanding, would come to realise was all he ever needed

Summary
Albus Dumbledore had met some strange and fascinating individuals in his long life, but he had never expected to discover that some of them would turn out to be the very same person. This entity appeared in his life over and over again: to help him out of scrapes, to give him strange but useful advice, to bring him on a new adventure. And sometimes, it seemed that he turned up purely for the purpose of making a nuisance of himself. Years passed before Albus finally learned his true name—a name that, like most magical children, he had heard many times before.
What happened afterwards, though, was not anything that Albus would ever have imagined.

After eight years at war, Prince Albus Dumbledore returns to a kingdom and family he no longer recognizes. The once familiar palace walls now confine him, and the demands of courtly life feel more suffocating than ever. As the eldest son of King Percival, he is under immense pressure to choose a bride and fulfill his royal duties, all while battling the haunting nightmares of war that plague his sleep.
At home, everything has changed. His sister, Princess Ariana, is preparing to make her debut at court, and his brother, Prince Aberforth, has unexpectedly matured into a responsible figure. But it’s the new court physician, Gellert Grindelwald, who truly captures Albus’s attention from the moment they meet.
After a sudden outburst during a fencing match reveals the turmoil within Albus, the king tasks Doctor Gellert with curing his son and preparing him for the throne. Despite their clashing personalities and constant verbal sparring, a magnetic attraction begins to develop, fueled by lingering touches and late-night conversations. However, their budding love will be tested by the scrutiny of the court, the pressures of the council, and even the expectations of their own families.
