Flora Grayhide bio
 Author has written 8 stories for Phantom of the Opera. Hiya! I have never once been chill about something I've loved, and there's never been something I've loved for as long and as consistently as I've loved Phantom of the Opera. I got into it when I was a preteen, which is a magical age for it, I think. As an official grown-up, my appreciation for it has changed, expanding and deepening, and I'm forever fascinated by all the ways to interpret this story and its characters. I have one long WIP fic with slow, but steady updates, (which I promise I won't abandon), one finished multi-chapter, and the occasional oneshot. I am on AO3 as well (where I have a few things I have deemed too weird for here), plus on Tumblr @flora-gray |

A Solo For The Living by Tango1 reviews
The first kiss turned a ghost into a man. The second turned a girl into a woman. Two kisses, a ring, a backward glance: on such things do lives turn.
