Miss Gellert, the Love Cheat: Prequel

September 26, 2024: This story has been revised into a prequel. Reopening the comment section is a hassle, so I've started a new book in my collection. Take a look if you're interested. -- May 28, 2023: Watching Fantastic Beasts 3 a year later still makes me want to die... A villain can be stupid, evil, or nasty, but they can't be tacky... And even after changing the premise, I can't bring myself to work on this story anymore. I might as well rewrite it. Readers who followed me into this pit, follow at your own discretion. Once I've written the Moving arc of The Savior's Uncle, I'll rewrite The Love Con. Someday, maybe.jpg Fantastic Beasts 3 broke me! -- [Comments are closed on this story. The comments included unrelated remarks urging me to update other stories, and comments that caused misunderstandings between me and readers before we reconciled. There were also posts from rival shippers, and FB3 left me disappointed by the character derailment and unwilling to write... In short, all kinds of things that ruined my mood for writing kept popping up and making me feel cursed. I started this story on February 7, 2022, and managed to squeeze out three chapters in ten months.] * A shameless author, a shameless heroine, a somewhat unusual Dumbledore, and a male supporting character who is just a tool. Can be separated, but the pairing can't be reversed. Albus is the constant; the tool characters come and go. As for the pairing, the male lead, or the romance, look at the title. AD's position is unshakable! AD is the apple of GG's eye! ADGG are soulmates, made for each other! * Gellert, as a woman: My goal is to make my darling Albus unable to move whenever he sees me! Albus: Actually, I've been unable to move whenever I see Gellert for a long time. Aberforth: ...Since when? Ariana: Before Aber and Vika's sister-in-law! Aberforth: "..." * The lion from Gryffindor is bold and fierce in every way, a carnivore through and through. That midsummer in Godric's Hollow, it wasn't only the Durmstrang dark wizard who bewitched the white wizard. The Hogwarts white wizard also stole the dark wizard's soul, claiming the few emotions and the sincerity he had to spare. * Gellert: "I've been married, I've been divorced, and I have children, but I'm still the person Albus loves most. Albus is the love of my life. He only loves me, and I only love him." "It's not that I don't love the people I married, but that love was familial, friendly, or professional. Familial love, friendship, and respect aren't the true love of romance. Albus is the only one I truly love!" "Albus needs me. He can't live without me. I love him!" Aberforth angrily pulled out his wand. "That shameless woman! What a piece of trash! That's sophistry!" Albus took off his glasses and wiped the corners of his eyes. Albus was deeply moved. "Gellert says he loves me... Gellert, my love, I love you too!" Aberforth grabbed his brother by the neck and shouted, "Get a grip!" Credence fearfully hugged Nagini. Newt fearfully hugged a baby hippogriff, surrounded by his half-siblings on his mother's side. * Reader's Guide: ADGG. No matter their genders, their positions are locked. The pairing can be separated, but not reversed. Gellert in this story is not German, not German, not German! The Death Eaters call Voldemort the Dark Lord! Sons and daughters appear, but this is not a daughter-dream or son-dream story. Gellert has some maternal love, but not much. No overused jokes. [No First Dark Lord], [No Gas Stove], [No Throwing Newt Under the Bus]. Newt is GG's only legitimate child in this story. * My take on Harry Potter, with plenty of headcanons. The original is tragic enough, so the fanfic gets a happy ending. Theme: May your reason stay with you and your halo protect you!
