A/N: I apologize, the story hasn't started yet. I've never written a fanfiction, so I'm going to give a brief synopsis of the plot, if you will, because I had no room in that little box to say thus. And the idea literally came to me five minutes ago, so I'm going to need time to illustrate this story in my wee old brain. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Disclaimer: I do not own either 'The Phantom of the Opera' or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'. Thank you.
First of all, if you haven't seen 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind', it's about a man who attempts to erase his former girlfriend from his memory, after she had just done the same to him. As all the memories are being erased, however, he soon realizes how much they meant to him, and fights to keep them with him.
Okay, NOW for the plot summary that will enable us to understand:
We all know Christine and Erik had some good times, yes. I'm afraid, however, their relationship ultimately ended in tragedy, what with Christine leaving with Raoul and Erik being left in his solitude, with nothing but the painful memories of his tainted love.
But what if he could be rid of those memories of Christine?
What if he could begin his life anew as tough she never existed?
What was life before Christine?
What would become of Erik?
Better yet, what would become of the infamous Phantom of the Opera?
Would he be a happier man?
And how is he so sure that Christine is now a happier woman?
Despite the pain, the rage, the hate, and the tears between two people,
Remember,
"You can erase someone from your memory, but you can't erase them from your heart."
