The Phantom of Elm Street

A Nightmare on Elm Street and Phantom of the Opera Crossover

A/N: Taking a break from the other slash fics I've been doing for the past year or so, I thought I'd look to see if anyone else had the bright idea to pair Freddy Krueger with Erik Destler. Shockingly, no one has (at least on this site), so I thought "what the hell, why not give this a shot". So here all of you lovely people are. I hope you enjoy! And this is NOT the Andrew Lloyd Webber "Phantom"; this is based off of Robert Englund's portrayal of Erik from the '80s.

WARNING: CONTAINS SLASH AND IS SET IN AU…..I OWN DIDDLEY-ASS-SQUAT!

Chapter 1: An Explanation

After Christine had "destroyed" Don Juan Triumphant Erik Destler awoke in his apartment with a massive headache and a bleeding face. He knew better than to try to put his hand on his face to stop the bleeding, so he headed towards his bedroom for the next best thing: a new face. "But first," he thought "I need to stop this bleeding." He found a clean towel, ran some warm water and after twenty minutes of gently cleaning off his face he was finally able to apply his new face. As Erik glanced at himself in the mirror, he decided that even though love and music are forever, Christine was not his love. With a heavy heart he sat down with a map and a pen and paper and began to write to realty agencies in the Midwest area of the United States. He had decided that either Indiana or Ohio would be a suitable choice to live, away from London and New York City. Somewhere he could start over and not think about Christine or the memories that came with her.

`A few weeks later Erik received a reply from a realtor in a town called Springwood, Ohio. Erik packed up his belongings into his Ford pickup truck and headed to Springwood to check out the address the realtor had told him to meet at: 1428 Elm Street.
