It had been years since such a heavy snowfall was bestowed upon the city.

Christmas is approaching, and Christine takes one last attempt to call forth her silent Angel.

Three years have gone by since the fire at the Paris Opera Populaire and Christine Daae is now married to Raoul. Life is far from the marital bliss she expected. Meanwhile, Erik is finally starting to live again after his friend Nadir revived him and gave him the courage to live. A surprise meeting between Christine and her Angel, however, could change everything...

It was dark. And small and filthy… nothing like the opera house.

Years after the tragic events in the opera house people still remember who was the main cause of them - and gendarmes didn't forget, either.

With all the warmth of her life gone, Christine tries desperately to get it back. Heavily edited and rewritten in 2025.

Christine wants to dance with her husband, but sadly that would mean he has to give up his seclusion.

Kay AUs. Now showing: Erik proposes to Christine, and she surprises him. Fluffy, angsty, sometimes humorous smut. You're warned.

My first one shot phic! Erik leaves a note for Christine saying that he wants to "show her something" ... Really cute in my opinion . Please read and review! Happy reading!

E&C, eventual Meg&Raoul, based on the 2004 movie. This is an AU, diverging from canon at the scene on the roof. How might the story have gone if Christine was just a little more self aware?

Bound by a promise, Christine returns to a dying Erik's lair to see him one last time. But what exactly happens behind the closed door? COMPLETED!

It had nearly killed her but, if she was forced to be perfectly honest, it was not like the torture she had imagined. Lighter oneshot.

Christine’s attendance at her first bal masque, a year before the “strange events of the Phantom of the Opera,” results in curious encounters, as her “Angel of Music” becomes her guardian angel for the night and something far more unbelievable—a man.

What if the beautiful princess was uncertain of who she loved? What if her captor, the evil monster, had a heart to be broken? And what if grey existed between black and white in the fairytale of life?

Erik is beautiful. Just ask Christine.

[COMPLETED!] When a mysterious stranger intrudes on Christine's life, she finds herself thrown into a mad world of hidden desires and dark emotions. A modernization of our beloved story. Please R&R.

A bit of pure Erik and Christine fluff. A year after the events in Phantom, Christine meets with her Angel once again . . .

...The first raindrops plunged to the roof, and Christine fell violently into a chaise and wept... The soon to be Madame de Chagny realizes what she must do. Christine's heart is still in the Opera Basement, but is Erik?

When Christine ventures to an opera for the first time in five years after the chandelier falls, she encounters an old ghost who causes her to rethink her decision to live the life of a Comtesse. Lots of fluff, some angst. Take it as you will.

Some messages are not meant to be received... some prayers are meant to be answered. What if Christine would appear on the rooftop to hear Erik pray to God for her love? Oneshot, Kay based, completely EC

Little blurb I wrote a few nights ago while I couldn't sleep. Erik is sick, Nadir wants to help, Christine saves her beloved Angel!

Christine, now Erik’s wife, requests to see Erik’s childhood home. Upon reaching the place, they find Erik’s mother still alive, and Erik is about to receive all the love he ever wished he could have.

*COMPLETE* A unexpected reunion jolts Christine and Erik. Fluffy but fun! This story began as PG13 but rapidly escalated into an R rating. It is not possible to accurately portray such a passionate character as Erik in muted terms.

It is Valentine's Day, and although Christine has made plans with Raoul, something draws her back to the Opera. What ensues is pure E/C fluff for everyone's favourite couple :)

What begins as a pleasant evening out leaves Christine mildly injured. This is the latest in the Night Encounters series, and is another Red Rose "prequel." Please read and review.

In Susan Kay's novel "Phantom" Erik tells Christine the story of the Rose who loved a Nightingale. Kay tells us that Christine went to bed after the story. I'd like to believe something else may have happened, which would have changed the whole story.

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 ...
