keep going, it's beautiful. :D

Love your writing style! Want more!

;)

I hope you haven't abandoned this, it's very good... and I like the absence of Raoul. >:) If you are ever going to update again, pray do so quickly, because a) I am dying to know what happens and b) I will set the Weru on you if you don't.

Oh! That is lovely! Please update?

You've got high quality writing throughout this piece, and some fantastic turns of phrase. ("Struggle of fragrences", for example, is great.) I'm interested to see where you're going with the story -- and interested to see more from Erik's point of view. I think there's a great cohesion to that chapter, I really could feel what he was feeling. Well done! I'm adding this story to my favorites.

Tres Bien, my dear. Quite satisfying really. I'm not bothered by the piecy texture of this latest chapter. It just works. I didn't know Erik wore a black mask, and I've read as many books as I can get my hands on. Is it in the Leroux version? Well, i haven't read that one in a while. I liked the erik POV chapter, seeing how I'm not crazy about Christine. What a joy, he is, my little masked psychopath. Your Erik is a wee bit more emotional than I'm used to, but then I love the Kay Erik, who is in fact a sociopath and egotist. But I like yours too. Please update. Ma life, she depends on it, non?

Damn, I regret that I was not able to read everything sooner! I am hoping that you understand that I did not abandon you. I promise I am still with you, though I am lost in my musical endevors. I am very much looking forward to your next chapter, and ask that you lease not wait too long. Fics, at the moment, are my source of entertainment, during what little spare time I have mannaged to procure.

I realize that I have not updated NATR lately, but I've had writer's block for longer than you can imagine. I was just about to write a new fic based on my own image of the Phantom and life experiences, but just as I finished the author's note, my computer froze and I was unable to save it. Hense, I lost the inspiration as quickly as it had come. Damn technology!

Well, I shall part with you now, seeing as I have no more to say on this matter. I leave you with my best wishes.

Most Sincerely,

Christine Elestor

Yay for your update! :) I love the way you describe everything so well, from Erik's home to his gestures. And I still like how you keep your Christine more mature but still in character. She's a little frightened, as she should be, but she's not acting like a child. I think it helps that she knew he was not an angel before he brought her down.

I'm glad you decided to make this story longer. Although, I'm a bit nervous about Raoul coming in. I rather enjoy the E/C ;) I look forward to future chapters! Lovely job.

Yes, I'm still here. Glad to learn you are not abandoning this story. I think it is very well written, and it would be a shame if it were left to die on the vine. Thank you for returning to it.

This was a beautiful chapter. Thank you so very much for posting it.

I didn't realize I had missed chapter 5. When I received the alert for chapter 6 earlier today, the site would not let me access 5. Kept telling me that I was trying to access an out-dated URL. I am happy to report that am now able to read the missing chapter, and was very impressed with it.

I loved reading Erik's first person POV. You did a splendid job with it. If you periodically include Erik's chapters with Christine's, the would provide a nice counterpoint to each other.

Ah yes, I know my Greek mythology. Is that a hint as to how this story will go? Well, it's on to chapter 6. Thanks for the lovely chapter.

AW! I could NEVER forget about this phic! Shame on you for the long wait tho. ^_~ j/k
Kinda depressed bout the shortness of the chapter...but I'll get over it.
Cant wait to see what happens next tho, with, or without Raoul. Actually, as long as it ends up E/C, I dont mind the fop so much.
Just plz plz PLZ dont forget to update ASAP! I'll give u a cookie...

Thank you so much for updating!
Just last week I sent a list of stories to my friend for her to read-and I included this one. I had to say "I think it's dead though...it's a real shame" at the end...I'm so glad I was wrong! This is by far one of the best fics out there...so please don't keep us waiting so long again!

I GOT TO READ THIS ONE FIRST!
i feel like i'm on the inside. *gets sunglasses and suit*
this is definitely my favorite chapter so far.
WRITE MORE. i'm frightened that you'll forget about this in college and i- along with the rest of your adoring fans- will be left with a sad, half-finished story...left with merely our thoughts pondering what might have been. *cries*the fact that we already know vaguely what happens DOES NOT MATTER. you could've changed it...yes.
you should get online more often, i never talk to you anymore. it makes me weep in desolation. *weeps in desolation* YOU SEE??
*sniffs into dainty hankerchief*

I just found this, and I think it is absolutely lovely! Very, very nice work. Please update again soon, for I cant wait to see what happens!

And I love the chapter in Erik's POV, I almost cried at the part with "Haphaestus"...

Intriguing story. I love the parallels to Greek mythology, and especially the misidentification between Christine's calling out of Hephaestus and Erik's reaction. Great job. Can't wait to read more.
