Grindelwald is the first one to tell Queenie that her powers are a gift, something to be proud of. She totally succumbs to his cause and becomes his most eager follower. She uses legilimency to interrogate and torture their prisoners, because only a person who is very emphatic and can dive in other people’s minds knows exactly how to really hurt someone.

This is exactly the sort of thing that makes me think it’s really not so far fetched that Queenie would join Grindelwald.  He knows how to make his cause sounds incredibly appealing.  Queenie’s been told her whole life not to use her ability or if she can’t manage that then to hide it, but Grindelwald tells her it’s beautiful.  That in his world she’d be celebrated for it.

I can definitely see her interrogating and manipulating people – she already supplied Grindelwald info about Credence’s thoughts, after all – and I think as time goes on she’d be more and more comfortable with it.  I don’t picture her torturing people directly, but I do love the image of her standing there watching while someone else gets their hands dirty, constantly telling Gellert or one of his followers whether the victim is lying, what they’re most afraid of, how close they are to breaking, and maybe even feeling powerful for using her gift to help make the world better.  Remember – it’s all for the greater good.

Ur blog is amazing 💗 can I ask: if Grindelwald watches the sisters in queenie’s bed, why do you think would he do that? Does he miss Albus and his touch? Or does he like to see Tina being so torn and eventually give in? Does he enjoy seeing someone so good fall for the “evil” side? Would he join them in bed? (Sorry for mistakes, I’m not a native speaker)

Hmm… I do think Grindelwald misses Albus, but I don’t think watching the two sisters would fill that need for him. I’d more picture him going to Credence or one of his male followers in that case.

Mostly I just think that Gellert has no concept of boundaries. Queenie brings Tina back to Nurmengard, and OF COURSE Gellert is going to watch them when they think they’re in private to make sure he knows what’s up. And he’s not going to just STOP when their touches start to linger, when they lean in close, when their lips meet and clothes start coming off. He’s going to slowly smirk and go oh, that’s how it is. And two women having such caring, intimate sex is certainly nice to watch, so when his trousers get tight he’s going to stroke himself to the sight of them. And yeah, I do think he’d enjoy seeing Tina’s slow and torturous fall, knowing how she’ll always be tied to his cause after this, and seeing two such “good” and “moral” people succumb to something so taboo.

Personally I don’t think he’d join them though. I think he’d treat it like a porno he was mildly interested in, lazily getting off while it played in the background. He’s not particularly attracted to either of them, but watching sex is arousing anyway. He might watch them again if he was in the mood for something visual when he wanted to get off and they happened to be going at it. He’d probably enjoy talking to Tina later on though, and seeing the blush spread over her cheeks whenever she looks at Queenie.

But mostly – no boundaries. There’s no privacy in Nurmengard. He probably watches Credence jerk himself off too, and I picture him enjoying that quite a bit, and seeking out opportunities to watch more than he would with the Goldsteins.

I never enjoyed reading fanfictions involving incest, buuuut something in me wants to see Queenie seducing Tina to come with her and join Grindelwald. I mean they are so close, and they always only had each other. Tina refuses at first, but somehow they end up in Queenie’s huge bed at Nurmendgard. I think Grindelwald would watch them

300% Gellert would absolutely watch them.  They’re so soft with each other, so gentle in how they explore each other’s bodies, so familiar even though the situation is so new.  Light kisses turning deep, hands stroking soft curves, holding each other and murmuring loving reassurances.  They’re in this together, they always have been, nothing’s changed.  Tina hides her face in Queenie’s shoulder – it’s hard for her, making this choice, but she knows she can’t abandon her sister.  Queenie strokes her hair and kisses her brow, telling her how happy she is that Tina’s here and pressing their bodies closer together.

And Gellert watches all of it.

When I saw CoG my first thought was “omg Albus could do a lot of kinky things with that magic glove”. Was I the only one thinking that? 😂 I mean…poor smol soft Newt being teased into heaven and hell by this leather glove and Dumbledore smirking somewhere in the distance 😏🔥

That glove has a lot of potential tbh.  So many possibilities… does Newt know it’s Dumbledore?  In the film it seemed like he did, but as far as smut goes I think I like to image he doesn’t.  I can’t help picturing Newt like, on a crowded subway or something, and he feels someone touching him – a hand sliding down his hip to squeeze and grope his arse.  He wheels around all pink and flustered, trying to see who it was, but no one is paying any attention to him?  And the touches don’t stop, no matter which way he turns??

And when he realizes it’s the glove, he can’t get rid of it.  He can’t bat it away or hex it or find any escape, he just has to stand there being fondled and teased and try not to make a sound.

Eventually he flees the subway to find some semi-private corner where he can let himself moan and sob, falling apart at the seams with all the things that glove makes him feel.

It doesn’t stop until it makes him come in his pants.

Any inspiration for touch-starved Theseus and alpha!Newt/omega!Theseusalpha!Leta?

Ooooh well there is now!  Maybe Theseus has always had something to prove?  He’s an omega, yeah, but that doesn’t mean he’s soft.  He always keeps himself just a little distant from other people, afraid to look like he’s weak, even though he’s fucking miserable and okay, maybe it would be nice to just… let go with someone.  But he can’t.

Until Leta and Newt notice, and decide to show him just how much he needs it.  Which is a lot.

Just saw the new fantastic beasts; Jude Law must now be banned for making Dumbledore so damned attractive. Its not allowed. (did any one get any Young!Newt/TeacherAlbus inspiration? Dumbledore always seemd very morally ambigious to me–he wanted what Gellert wanted right up until it threatend his own family. He changed later, but only because he felt guilty?)

Ooooh boy.  Idk about Dumbledore’s morality in canon, but I can totally see a dark!AU in which he takes advantage of young Newt.  Invites him to his office for tea one day maybe, and Newt is overwhelmed by the offer.  The whole school has a crush on him, and Newt is no exception.  They talk for a while, but Newt starts to feel drowsy and he doesn’t quite remember how he ended up in Professor Dumbledore’s lap?  But there are hands roaming over him, lips and the scratch of a beard against his cheek, and he feels really good.  He nuzzles in against Dumbledore’s shoulder and lets himself be swept away.

I love your idea of Graves and Grindelwald working together to break Credence down, especially if one of them is kinder and one is more brutal. But I guess that’s kind of the whole plot of Cruel World… any ideas for that one? Can’t wait to read more!!

I suppose it is lol. I can imagine a tcog version where Credence isn’t a prisoner and is actually seduced into joining the cause through the manipulations of Gellert + Graves, but yeah, I guess I just love that premise 😀

As for Cruel World, oh boy, I have so many ideas. I have character arcs and plot points. It’s gonna be great. I don’t want to spoil too much, but Graves’ current direction will continue (though in some unorthodox ways), Gellert will find he’s not satisfied with certain things (and start take some action on it), and Credence will have some hard choices to make (which is saying a lot, considering he isn’t usually allowed any choices at all).

In the immediate future the fic I was brainstorming with an anon a few weeks back is probably the installment I’ll write next, but be assured I have big plans for this series.

And I mean, as much as I say I don’t want to spoil it, I’m also itching to talk about it so gah writer’s dilemma :’)

What do you think about omega!Theseus or submissive!Theseus after watching second movie? Do you have any interest in continuing kink prompt with him and Grindelwald? In the movie Theuseus looks more like soft and sweet cookie than auror, determined and extremely emotional, but still… Soft. What is your opinion about him? Possible interaction with Grindelwald in your fiction?

I don’t know tbh. Theseus in the movie was just so smol and soft like what?? The actor did a fine job, but not how I picture him tbh. He looked so out of place next to the other three ministry men in Newt’s hearing.

That said, I definitely intend to continue the thesewald kinktober ficlet, and I could definitely see writing more with that pairing.

I can absolutely see movie!Theseus as a sweet, soft omega, but I’m not sure how that meshes with my vision of fanon!Theseus yet? Definitely not opposed to it on priciple and certainly wouldn’t mind reading it, but not sure about writing it. I could probably be persuaded by the right prompt though. Imagine if Theseus and Newt were both omegas… I’m sure there are quite a few alphas who would love to own that pair. I actually like that quite a bit… XD

I would loooove to see Grindelwald slowly, deliciously and underhandedly, seducing Credence back into his arms, and to his cause, at Nurmengard.

It’s the touch that gets to him, really. Grindelwald is patient with him for the first few weeks, answering his questions and reassuring him and never, ever pushing him. It’s nice, but strange, to have someone care about /him/ for once instead of what he can be used for. As much as it hurts to think about, he isn’t sure Mr. Graves ever cared about him that way. Ma certainly didn’t.

But Grindelwald – Gellert, as he’d asked Credence to call him, as though they were equals – gives him guidance and safety and answers to question burned deep into his soul without asking for anything at all in return. It’s heady, dizzying.

But it’s the touches that truly make his head spin. Gellert lays a hand on his arm and it makes the skin prickle, that single point of contact suddenly taking up his entire focus. He folds Credence into his arms, holds him close, and Credence melts in his embrace. He doesn’t mean to but his muscles go loose and he can’t help it, mind falling blissfully blank while Gellert caresses his cheek and whispers in his ear.

And when Gellert’s lips brush his own, it lights him up more powerfully than magic ever could.
