SymphonyinAhide bio
 Author has written 18 stories for Phantom of the Opera. I'm SymphonyinA. I love to write, always have, and my poto obsession helps fuel it and develop it further. Maybe one day I'll publish a book of my own! Because of this, I love to be bothered by constructive criticism, so critique away! Opinion-wise, I'm very pro-Christine and pro-Raoul. I do ship E/C, but with a few changes to Erik’s character and a lot of growth. Christine is my favorite character, with the Persian in a close second. I also like to write dark stories and explore the crazier parts of these characters, in addition to a few fluffy fics. My favorite quote ever: "I am no bird, and no net ensnares me; I am a free being with an independent will." - from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë (please be correct because I did that from memory) Fluffy/Romantic E/C *Touch: In this Leroux one-shot, Christine and Erik have married under uncertain terms. They share a very large bed, and she always seems to roll to his side in the night. *Grace Note: In this ALW musical-based fic with Kay influences, Raoul is abducted under strange circumstances, and Erik has to return him to Christine. This leads to unforeseen trials as Christine finds herself tangled up in Erik’s past. Secrets and a Bottle of Sauvignon: In this Leroux three-part fic, Christine is hiding a secret as Erik tries to make her birthday perfect. Dark/Realistic non-E/C *Lilacs in the Louis-Philippe Room: In this Leroux fic (my very first), Raoul leaves on his expedition, leaving Christine to cope with Erik on her own. She overcomes all odds to find happiness while living with a madman. An Angel in the Abyss: In this ALW musical-based fic, Christine wakes up in the phantom’s lair after pouring her heart out on her father’s grave. Only time will tell if he will ever release her. *Toile de Jouy: In this dark Leroux-based fic, no one comes to Christine’s aid when she must turn the scorpion, or the grasshopper. Clarity and Insanity: In this very dark Leroux-based one-shot, Erik and Christine are married, but he always craves more from her. His requests push her to the breaking point. Persephone: In this Leroux-based short fic, Erik reveals his thoughts over the course of meeting Christine, falling in love, and attempting to blow up the opera house. Family E/C and R/C A Little Night Music: In this fluffy one-shot based on Lilacs in the Louis-Philippe room, Erik bonds with his daughter. *Eko: In this Leroux-based fic, Raoul and Christine are happily married in Scandinavia. Their past, however, refuses to let them go. Random Boredom Beneath the Opera House: In this joke of a fic, based on Kay and Leroux, Christine becomes very bored beneath, well, the opera house. Cheesy chaos ensues. |
