Fic: 'The Reluctant Phoenix', Albus/Minerva, Horace/Elphias, Albus/Horace, Albus/Elphias, NC-17
Title: The Reluctant Phoenix
Author: purplefluffycat
Pairings: Albus Dumbledore/Minerva McGonagall, Horace Slughorn/Elphias Doge, Albus Dumbledore/Horace Slughorn, Albus Dumbledore/Elphias Doge (unrequited)
Rating: Up to NC-17 (although most of the story rates lower)
Word Count: ~23,600
Warnings/Content Information: Cross-gen - teacher/student (Minerva is 18), infidelity in secondary pairing.

Summary: Albus thought that he was a non-running member of the human race when it came to romantic relationships. If pushed, he would have said that he was the kind of wizard who preferred wizards. -All that, of course, was before Minerva came along.

Author's/Artist's Notes: Thanks to dueltastic for such open-ended and thought-provoking prompts; this was written for her in the 2013 edition of the excellent hp_beholder fest. I tried to incorporate elements of the following suggestions into this story: "non-traditional relationships, things people make work in their own ways when it's not obvious how or why it does", "eras and places we see only hints of in canon", "age differences being acknowledged", "blurry definitions" and "fluidity in gender roles and sexual orientation." I hope you like the result :-)

Fic: 'Lose Yourself', Albus Dumbledore/Gellert Grindelwald, Albus Dumbledore/Elphias Doge, NC-17
Title: Lose Yourself
Author: purplefluffycat
Pairings: Albus Dumbledore/Gellert Grindelwald, Albus Dumbledore/Elphias Doge
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~1600
Warnings: mild D/s dynamic, sounding

Summary/Description: 1939: He keeps it in the corner of his room, covered by a heavy dust sheet and blocked-in by piles of parchment and books, to lessen the temptation. Many a man has gone mad gazing into the Mirror of Erised, after all - and Albus Dumbledore is too wise, too talented, and too downright important to let that happen to him...

Author's Notes: In The Philosopher's Stone Dumbledore tells Harry that men have wasted away gazing into the Mirror of Erised. Perhaps he speaks from close experience?

Fic: 'The Progress of a Tear', Dumbledore/Merfolk, Dumbledore/Grindelwald, Dumbledore/Doge
Title: The Progress of a Tear
Author: purplefluffycat
Pairings: Albus Dumbledore/Merfolk, Albus Dumbledore/Gellert Grindelwald, Albus Dumbledore/Elphias Doge (unrequited)
Rating: R
Warnings: Implied group sex, voyeurism
Words: ~1700
Summary: A distressed Albus Dumbledore is returned from the defeat of Grindelwald, August 1945. The tale of how he came to speak the language of the Merpeople.

Author's notes: Written for daily_deviant challenge, 'Coitus a unda aka undinism: sex in/under water'. I originally thought a crack!fic would be spawned from this prompt... but this one seems to have turned somewhat serious while I wasn't looking. Poor Elphias...

Fic: The Unspoken and Unsent, R
Title: The Unspoken and Unsent
Pairing: Albus Dumbledore/Elphias Doge, mentions of Albus/Gellert
Rating: R
Summary: Albus shocks Elphias with some news on the day of their graduation from Hogwarts. Elphias embarks on their planned trip around the world without Albus, and their correspondence is rather fraught.
A/N: This was my hp_spring_fling fic for miss_morland, who requested Dumbledore/Doge, so I finally had a good excuse to write this pairing that I've been interested in since book seven. Thank you to chlorate for the beta work and the thoughts on "in the manner of the Greeks," etc. ;)

(Elphias Doge had never been happier than he was on the afternoon of his last Leaving Feast at Hogwarts.)

To Steady Betrayal
Title: To Steady Betrayal
Author: Severus_Falter
Rating: PG
Characters: Albus Dumbledore, Elphias Doge, and Gellert Grindelwald
Genre: Angst-ish, Elphi really isn't an angsty person, but I don't know what else to call it.
Summary: As Jennette Mccurdy says, "How'd you get to be so close and yet so far away?" Elphi knows, but that doesn't make it easier.
Prompt: 'Disengage' from my 100 - Prompt Table
Warnings: I haven't brushed up on my Elphias/Albus + Gellert history in a while, so I'm kind of bending it to my will. Hope it doesn't offend anyone if I'm off a little. Or a lot.
Disclaimer: It will soon become very obvious that I have no affiliation with those who created Harry Potter.

(To the story!)

Got recs?
Just to let you know that the daily_snitch is working on one of their special editions all about Albus Dumbledore. There are a great many links to fanworks concerning Dumbledore/Grindelwald and Dumbledore/Snape but not much Dumbledore/Doge. Have anything that you'd like to see included? Here is the post:

Another drabble, rated G
I know this community has been rather inactive these last months, but I thought I'd post a link here nonetheless. :-)

'You'll think of me this summer, won't you?'

(Comment on this)

What if /Gellert/ was the /rebound/ guy?
Okay, so it's author approved canon that Gellert and Albus "got on like a caldron on fire", in the words of Bathilda Bagshot who was there those two months. Ms.Rowling didn't /say/ anything about Elphias, but she did write this, "I shall miss his friendship more than I can say", Elphias's words to The Public.

( and then they leftCollapse )

...and who here is writing that King's Cross fic? OMG. Threesome or fight? I do have the lovely image of both of them braiding Albus's shiny hair.

FIC: The Last Gift
OK, so it's me again, shamelessly posting Dumbledoge fic - which more people should do, IMO. Come on, fellow community members, this pairing needs more love! :-D

Title: The Last Gift
Author: Miss Morland
Rating: PG
Pairing: Albus Dumbledore/Elphias Doge (mentions of Dumbledore/Grindelwald)
Summary: Elphias and Aberforth have a conversation. Set during HBP.
Disclaimer: I did not invent the characters, Rowling did.
Warnings: None.
Author's note: I liked marauderthesn's idea about Elphias living with the Dumbledores after their sister's death, so I borrowed it. No infringement intended;-)

‘The power of love,’ Elphias said with a faint smile. ‘Stronger than anything, but its strength can be cruel. At least he used to think so.’

Wizardrock and Alphias
There's been some interesting stuff going around Grindeldore wise in the Wizardrock community, but I was just waiting for someone to pick up on the quite obvious Alphias vibe! And someone finally did! So, I today I found the band Elphias Doge HERE! (Myspace! Beware of self-loading songs!) Just an FYI from the insane wizardrock loving elf thing I am!

Current Mood: good

Christmas fluff
I have come to offer you a drabble, as is my wont. It's rated PG-13 for a joke that put rather naughty images into my mind.

Feedback is much appreciated and drooled over.

'That would be awfully nice.'

Fic: Jumpers for Goats
Title: Jumpers for Goats
Author: Marauder
Rating: PG
Summary: Aberforth Dumbledore may not have asked for Elphias Doge to come into his life, but family ties are family ties, official or not. Albus/Elphias, focus on the relationship between Aberforth and Elphias.
Notes: I wanted to do a fic involving why Dumbledore is interested in knitting patterns and I wanted to do a fic about Aberforth and Elphias. They merged together and this is the result.

When Aberforth came home for Christmas, Albus and Elphias were sleeping in the same bed and it didn’t look as though Elphias were going to leave anytime soon.
