    Summary

    Gustave's life couldn't get much better. He had loving parents, an entire opera house to play around in, free access to operas whenever he wanted, and a life cut off from the rest of the world. He loves to play around the opera house, and he loves his parents, but above all, he loves music. Until the very sounds that once brought him comfort are screaming in his ears, refusing to quiet, refusing to return to their normal volume and intensity, and his parents decide the only way to fix it is to take away music entirely.

    So he keeps breaking rules, desperate to show his parents he doesn't need to be babied.

    Aimee's life couldn't get much worse. Her grandmother had beaten her and deprived her all her life simply because of her face. A devil's face. But she deserved it. She really did. That's what she's always thought. It took running away, getting kidnapped by a freak show, mastering fire illusions, and escaping just to turn back and burn the place down to teach her otherwise. Now, she is never going to feel ashamed of her face again.

    And she'll never give up her search for her uncle, the only one with a devil's face like hers.

    Mostly 2004 with Kay's backstory and some of my own creation.
