In the summer of 1884, Christine Daaé leaves New Orleans for Wyoming, to marry Erik, a man she knows only through letters. Together they must navigate the waters of a relationship with a stranger, while the town of Contention lives up to its troubled name.

It is simple, really. Something was stolen from Erik. He wants it back. And he will stop at nothing until he gets it. EC. Eventually Modern.

He never wanted it. Them. He never wanted one… much less two of them. It wasn’t fair, Erik decided. He had only just gotten Christine all to himself and now… this.

Christine has chosen Erik instead of Raoul. Now two fragile, emotional people must resolve their differences, work through their problems and learn to live and love together while escaping from Paris. ALW with Kay and Leroux detail.

This is a completed, novella length fic. What if ALW misinterpreted Christine during the 'Twisted Every Way' scene in Act II?
