The Red Curtains Trilogy

The Red Curtains Trilogy is a series of stories in three arcs ("In The Beginning", "The Long Game" and "End Game", though the names are not final at the moment), that tell the life story of Albus Dumbledore, through his eyes, the eyes of a character named Selenes and through the eyes of Tom Riddle.

However, it is also a cross-over with the world of Twin Peaks. (Though obviously only the spiritual part of that world, since for most of Dumbledore's life, almost all the characters in Twin Peaks hadn't been born).

The stories don't cover all of Albus' life, but instead moves to the important parts (his early home life, until he finishes Hogwarts, then Tom Riddle's time at school and the first of the dark wars until the first fall of Voldemort, then the second dark war from Harry's return to the world until the end of the war.

Unusually, these stories won't focus on Harry or the other main characters - instead it will be Dumbledore, Selenes (who is Selenes? Well - you'll figure it out eventually) and Tom.

Currently the second arc is being plotted out, and I have more or less reached the point where Dumbledore and Grindlewald are fighting.

So - this is a huge, long term story that will not be done any time soon, but should be fun.
