*WIP* LAST UPDATED 022619. My apologies to everyone for not updating sooner. I appreciate your patience.

COMPLETE! The story begins when Meg follows Erik underneath the Paris Opera House. She can't explain why, but she feels drawn to him. Erik, on the other hand, doesn't want the ballerina in his life. Can he move past the hurt?

“From time to time certain bone structures are repeated without a blood tie. No human face is entirely unique, my dear. I daresay somewhere in the world there may be another poor devil who looks like me,” says Erik to Christine. How right he is.

UPDATE: Ch.11 uploaded, minor revisions of each chapter so far made. Erik finds comfort in little Meg Giry, and eventually finds himself in very nearly the same position he had once placed Christine in! Further chapters upcoming.

It's time for Christine to return to the Opera, and an encounter with Erik would seem to mend the past - but the managers have a plan of their own.

In Susan Kay's novel "Phantom" Erik asks Christine to marry him, and she could not find the courage within her to answer. And then the wheels in my mind started turning, what if she had found the courage to say yes? *Complete!*

Set directly after Susan Kay's Phantom ... Raoul begins to show his true colours, Christine wonders whether she's made the right decision, and Erik? Well ...

Erik discovers a waif on his doorstep and tries to figure out what on earth to do with her. Based more on Webber's musical and Susan Kay's book than on Leroux's book. Also... be sure to read the sequel... Candlelight Carol.

What if Raoul decided to go in search of Christine without the Persian's help?
