    Summary

    Christine leaves Raoul to return to the Opera. Not because she's in love with her maestro, but for the music, and seeking her own freedom for once in her life.
    At least, that's how it starts.

    Summary

    Ten years have passed since the scandalous affair of the Opera Ghost. Christine Daae's courtship with Raoul de Chagny has crumbled, and she is living in relative obscurity under an assumed name. When a series of murders reiminiscent of the Phantom of the Opera sweeps through prominent European theaters, Christine is forced to confront her past choices and decide whether she is finally ready to embrace the music of the night.

    This fic is based primarily on the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, with some of the pacing elements from the 2004 film. Love Never Dies does not exist in this universe.

    Summary

    ALW ending rewrite.

    What if in the end, Raoul didn't pull Christine away?

    Christine, wracked with guilt, runs back to the Phantom to return his ring. Horrified by the mob that quickly approaches, Christine insists that the Phantom save himself from the violence of the masses. Little does she know of the life-altering consequences this choice will bring her – a choice which will entwine her life with the Phantom's ever more tightly, just as she thought she had finally escaped him.

    The story follows the ending of the musical, and thus mostly abides by musical canon, with some details & characterization pulled from Leroux and Kay. Christine is in her early twenties, Erik in his mid-thirties – aka both are consenting adults!
