GOLDEN, RIPE AND ROTTEN
A short series chronicling the rise, height and fall of the summer young Dumbledore and Grindelwald met in Godric's Hollow.

Sharp and Bright against a Golden Sky
Gellert was gilded, aureate, bedazzling, resplendent; he was aureolin pigment on a blinding canvas, rays of light through beads of amber, stalks of goldenrod against a sunlit sky. And Albus Dumbledore had never before thought he needed a thesaurus just to talk about the evidence of his own eyes.
Characters: Albus, Gellert
Words: ~750

Ripe as Summer Quinces
“Albus, my white knight,” Gellert said, and something in Albus’ chest loosened and blossomed, as it always did when Gellert spoke those words. “What shall we do today, with all the world at our feet?”
Characters: Albus, Gellert, Aberforth, Ariana
Words: ~2,700

The Rotten Core
And still, for one endless second, Albus thinks Gellert might say, I’ll stay.

La Ronde Noire:

What began as simply a remix of stereolightning's Andromeda-and-Narcissa story "The Chimes at Midnight" showing the other perspective from the same scene (Narcissa-and-Andromeda in "The Landlord's Other Daughter") quickly spilled over into some related thoughts about Narcissa-and-Regulus ("Tea, No Sympathy").

Another inspired suggestion from stereolightning got me wondering whether it would be possible to write a La Ronde (a format in which each subsequent story follows one character from the previous scene into a new scene with another character, until it eventually circles around to the first pair of characters again). By then I was already thinking that an Andromeda-and-Narcissa story I'd already written ("Two Sisters Take Tea," formerly titled "A Visit") could actually bookend such a set of stories quite well. The rest – Regulus-and-Sirius ("Two Brothers Down a Dark Alley Sometime in 1979"), then Sirius-and-Andromeda ("Forget This Tapestry") – fell into place from there!

Here's the whole set:

1. The Landlord's Other Daughter (remix of The Chimes at Midnight by stereolightning) – Narcissa and Andromeda, circa 1971

2. Tea, No Sympathy – Narcissa and Regulus, circa 1976

3. Two Brothers Down a Dark Alley Sometime in 1979 – Regulus and Sirius, 1979

4. Forget This Tapestry – Sirius and Andromeda, 1995

5. Two Sisters Take Tea – Andromeda and Narcissa, 1998
