    Summary

    ‘May I ask why you’ve chosen now of all times to return?’ he had asked, eying his friend and roommate as though he’d sprouted a second head.  It had been nearly three years since Erik had moved in, the longest he’d lived anywhere since leaving home just before his eighteenth birthday.  That January had been bitterly cold, but that had been the extent of his teenage self’s surprises; he had seen first hand just how unkind the world could be.  It was never very cold in Persia, and he liked to think that maybe that was why he had stayed for so long.

    It was a simple enough reply, two facts that were relatedly unrelated.  ‘The Palais Garnier put out a job listing for a new director the same day I received notice that my mother had passed.  I don’t typically indulge the idea of divine intervention…but, then again, I hardly believe in coincidences, either.’

    Summary

    ***ANNOUCEMENT COMING SOON***

    He had been an admirer of hers for a long time; watching her perform every Friday night at the club during the open mic night hours when he was there for drinks with his coworkers. She always felt his eyes on her but so was the rest of the audience.

    Christine closed her eyes at the memory, thinking how she could have missed all the signs.

    Summary

    The arrangement was blighted to begin with.  Christine could hardly even remember how it had come to be– some impassioned, impulsive, romantic night down below that felt more like a memory from another lifetime than it did a real event that had transpired only five months prior.  While details of how she had been brought to his bed were scant, she remembered vividly the way that the candlelight had caught Erik’s frame above her, the feeling of her legs wrapped around his narrow waist as he set to pressing fervent kisses to her neck and collarbone and lower, the electricity that shot through her veins at the first brush of his deft fingers to her clit, the way he laced their fingers atop of his soft silk sheets and whispered praises and endearments against her cheek as he sank into her.  Their first coupling was burned into the back of her mind, but the events leading up to it and shortly thereafter might as well have been wholly lost on her.  All that she could say with certainty was that he had not been so gentle with her since.  This thing between them had quickly devolved into an affair of sharp teeth and stolen, scorching stares.

    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.

    Summary

    Oh, she was foolish. She was so, so foolish. Why had she done it? There’d been no need, no need at all. He’d let her go, he’d chosen to let her leave with a man he knew could give her the life she deserved. And yet, she’d found herself going back to find him. Only a week after everything happened, she found herself traveling back to that damp, dark lair, in the vain hopes of finding him there and sorting out the conflicting emotions she felt in her heart.

    Christine had thought that she’d hated him. She had, but then…that kiss. That damned kiss had changed everything, and suddenly, she wasn’t sure anymore.
    --
    They'd both done it. Without still really understanding why they had or where they currently stood, Christine and Erik had committed a most unforgivable act together, and now, they had to do something about it. Despite the one conclusion that they're able to agree on, they both know that the road ahead will surely not be an easy one. Can these two, at last, make sense of their complex feelings for one another and get things sorted? If not solely for their sakes, then their child deserves that much, right?
    --
    Aka the author isn't a huge fan of LND and wanted a proper redo.

    Summary

    “The sound of her sobs echoed through the silence, carrying through the thin walls to the hollow space beyond. Her voice and all its sorrow was heard, but not by an angel. That night, while the rest of Paris celebrated, two souls broken by the world wept together.”

    A retelling of the classic tale, in which Christine and the Phantom end up together, but it works. Original work but with elements of Leroux, Kay, ALW, and 2004 movie blended in.
