Any lyrics which have been changed were for the sole purpose of this story. I have nothing but ultimate respect for the artists and I thoroughly admire their work.

I had so much fun writing this story. I'd love it for everyone that reads it to leave a review. Also please tell me what you think of Ramin and Joanne- I had the idea of writing out the opera they were performing in at the end- or even a one shot just for them.

I'm afraid this is it for now. But this may not be the last we hear of Esmeralda and Erik. But tell me what you think- if you have any ideas PM me (because if I choose your idea I don't want the surprise to be given away)

I encourage everyone to listen to the music I used- I worked so hard making them fit. I've also thought of getting some of my friends that are into musical theater to record my versions. If I end up doing this I'll post on this story where to find the link.

So, I end on this final note. Literally.

My Dear Readers,

I thank you for reading my story, but these things rarely end so suddenly. They are lives after all, and when do lives simply end in the middle?

I remain your obedient servant.
