    Summary

    "The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war."

    In Soviet Russia, the year 1980, renowned opera singer Christine Daae learns just how painfully, horribly true those words could be when her husband Erik, a discharged KGB spy returns from his commission to Afghanistan shattered beyond repair. In their world of tragic love and dauntless devotion, where nothing is as it seems and all is so easily torn apart, these fragile and lost souls must learn each other once more, to mend what has been broken before everything is lost forever.

    —A tale of love, loss and healing. Set in late 1970s to early 1980s, centring around the Soviet Union's war with Afghanistan.

    Summary

    After a successful night at the Opera, Christine's Angel is well determined to congratulate her... in the most passionate way. And that is the best moment Raoul found to go ask Christine out.

    Or, in other words, Erik is too horny to wait for a bed and Raoul accidently meddles once again with the Phantom's plans.

    Summary

    Set before and during the 2004 movie. My origin story for 2004 movie-specific Erik, who never left the Opera House once rescued and hidden by Mme. Giry. This is my version of how he and Christine met and fell in love (NOT when she was a child) and tumbled headlong into the inevitable tragedy of Final Lair. This has no script/libretto (apart from maybe one or two absolutely necessary words). This explores the motivations and emotions BEHIND what happened. The scenes around what was on screen. There may be a few nods to Leroux and Kay, but my Erik is Gerik – 100%, blue eyes and all. But I couldn’t resist resurrecting Philippe, because he practically writes himself and never shuts up in my head (he’s also my Beta’s favourite character, which he would adore). Plus he makes Raoul seem like less of a dick. Sorry Patrick - love you, truly - but movie Raoul makes me want to beat his oblivious, arrogant, dismissive head against the nearest brick wall!
