    Summary

    Erik flirts with madness after he is captured in the graveyard and thrown back into a cage. Believing Christine has betrayed him, he vows never to meddle in the world of men again.

    After Christine witnesses something gruesome at the hands of her beloved teacher, she chooses herself and disappears for good.

    Seven years later, an unexpected reunion between a reclusive composer and a world-famous diva leaves them questioning whether they might find peace in each other after all.

    Inspired by that old joke of the ultimate ships: Christine/career; Erik/therapy; Raoul/north pole. Eventual Erik/Christine.

    Summary

    A prostitute takes on a strange new client: masked, severe, meticulous, and deeply lonely. He pays for her company one night a week and asks for less than any man she’s ever met—conversation, supper, music, a hand to hold, someone to stay with him for just a few hours. It would all be simpler if neither of them began to need Thursday nights quite so much.

    Kay's Erik I had in mind for this one, although really any Erik you want works!

    Summary

    This was an ask I answered on Tumblr in two parts. The prompt was flustering Erik during a lesson and the the good ol' One Bed trope.

    Just to be clear. I. would. DIE. for. the. one. bed. trope.

    In this little thing, Christine never existed, and we are the leading soprano of Erik's obsession. I went with ALW Erik for this one, but I guess if you squint you could get 2004 Erik out of it as well? Anyway I tagged it with the 2004 tag to get more hits because I'm evil.

    Summary

    There was nothing left to do but put this strange woman from his mind. She was, after all, nothing more than another pretty woman in Paris, doing what all Parisians of a more attractive build did: forget they were dying slow, happy lives at the expense of others’ misfortune. He told himself that he would not fall vulnerable to the whims of such creatures. Not when they served no purpose in a monster’s life, save to bring him false hope.

    But Erik was always horrible at keeping promises—especially the ones made to himself.
