    Summary

    "Though, there were times—when she was all alone—when the thought of him still didn't frighten the way it should. And that, perhaps, terrified her more..."

    Christine visits her father’s grave, and the Phantom appears; but Raoul doesn’t arrive to interrupt their reunion, and Christine makes a choice.

     

    I hope you'll all stick with me. This is my first fic, and I'm writing as I go, so I crave your indulgence and your patience on this journey. But no matter how long this takes, THIS FIC IS NOT ABANDONED 🙏🏻💗

    I can't guarantee an upload schedule; the Muse is a fickle mistress and she alights as she will. I may go 9 months without updating, but don't assume that I've abandoned or even put this on the back burner. I haven't. I'm always working on it, it's just slow going sometimes.

    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)

    Summary

    Erik pays an unexpected visit to Christine the evening before the premiere of "Don Juan Triumphant." Uncertainties abound. What confessions will pass between them? Will honesty shift the tide of events? It's time for our lovers to breathe and be with one another. ALW-Based, E/C).

    ""The little sounds, Erik?" She pressed him onwards, coming to stand beside him once more. "What do I not hear?" Christine reached for him blindly, her hands trembling as she scraped at the ebony lapels of his coat.

    "Oh, my innocent, little dove, you've never heard the sounds of true suffering, of utter and miserable loneliness; the choking sense of isolation that one can only recognize unless one has been completely alone." He covered her fingers with his hand, cherishing the delicate and sweet feeling of her skin against his palm. "My love…you are far too beautiful to ever fear knowing such misery. You will never hear those sounds. One as precious as yourself will…will never be alone." At that, Erik brought his other hand up to her face, the backs of his knuckles leaving a cold caress against her cheek. Christine came alive at his touch, helpless to deny the desire he brought forth within her."

    Summary

    Just a silly little meet-cute. To begin. Started as a one-shot, but the wheels keep turning.
    Mid-late 1870s. After the commune, but before Leroux things happen, and taking lots of liberty with those Leroux things. And with the geography of Paris. Erik is living underground, but he hasn't become completely unhinged. Christine and her Dad have just arrived in France. I sent them to Paris instead of the coast. (Sorry, imaginary baby Raoul!) But, there are scarves a-plenty!
    No reason. It started as something happy. Things may take a turn.
    Inspired by the time I tried to go on a romantic springtime in Paris trip and it friggin hailed. Not cool, Springtime in Paris.
