REC: If I Wrote You (Dumbledore, Gen)
Title: If I Wrote You
Author: googlebrat
Rating: G
Characters/Pairings: Albus Dumbledore, Severus Snape, Gellert Grindelwald, Tom Riddle, Gen
Fandom: Harry Potter
Summary: (none given) Dumbledore and two boys that remind him of Grindelwald.
Why you should read this ...
The author ties this together very well, drawing very well-reasoned similarities between Snape, Riddle, and Grindelwald. Shown through Dumbledore's perspective, you can really see how each of his 'failures' weighed him down and how he came to be the man he was in the books. The author has depicted a Dumbledore who cares, but is inevitably a fallible human who can repeat mistakes but also learn from them, which I think is the true essence of what JKR wanted to do with Dumbledore.
