    Summary

    Wealthy Opera Populaire patron Raoul de Chagny has been kidnapped and the Opera managers have been receiving threatening letters regarding emerging star Christine Daaé. Private Investigators Erik and Antoinette have been called in to get to the bottom of what's going on, which means they'll have to be keeping a close eye on the safety of the young soprano. It really is a shame, then, that Erik seems to hate Christine who in turn seems horrified of Erik - but things aren't always what they seem.

    Summary

    Loki had been dying; Thanos's fingers around his neck, squeezing, snapping. The world spun, he gasped, wished he had had longer with his brother-

    -and the next thing he knew he was waking up in bed, lost, disoriented, and not understanding what was going on.

    In one universe, Loki Laufeyson took his last breath when Thanos used the gauntlet to crush his neck. And in another, Lukas Sigurd awoke in the Gentlemen's Society Asylum, told that he had succumbed to another episode of his delusion disorder. Now, Loki as Lukas must figure out what exactly has happened, what is truly real, and most importantly, if there's a way back to his own universe. But nothing is truly as it seems, and between the horde of other patients, the terrifying Dr. Goode in charge of the asylum, and Loki's own faulty memory, his chances of getting home are slim to nil.

    But then again, he's Loki Laufeyson. If anyone can cheat the universe, it's him.

    Summary

    “You’ve no idea how you bewitch me, do you?” neither of them processed the staggering honesty of what he’d just said, the implications of it. They were one being, blurred at the edges and blissfully numb to the world. Christine turned to her left, reaching a hand over the side of the boat and through the mist, dipping the tips of her slender fingers into the frigid waters below.

    “I don’t,” she said simply, slowly retreating from the water and looking back up to Erik, who seemed impossibly tall at the angle from which she sat. “In fairness, I hardly think you realize how spellbound I am by you.” He offered her the ghost of a smile at that, turning from her to gauge where on the lake they were in relation to his home.

    “I don’t,” his eyes were on her again and she gladly sank into them, held whole by their all-encompassing warmth and depth. She pulled his tailcoat tighter around herself, as though it would further envelope her in that heady sense of him.

    (First few chapters are under some relatively heavy re-writing as of now)
