    Summary

    It all starts with a spell going wrong.

    Now Elphaba and Fiyero are magically bound together, they can’t stop bickering, and they may have also accidentally become the talk of the campus.

    Between awkward sleeping arrangements, one-handed duels, and Glinda’s unauthorized stage adaptation--falling in love might just be the least humiliating part.

    Main story is COMPLETE by Ch 11. Future updates will be EPILOGUES 🩵

    Summary

    Set before and during the 2004 movie. My origin story for 2004 movie-specific Erik, who never left the Opera House once rescued and hidden by Madame Giry. This is my version of how he and Christine met and fell in love (NOT when she was a child) and tumbled headlong into the inevitable tragedy of Final Lair. This has no script/libretto (apart from maybe one or two absolutely necessary words). This explores the motivations and emotions BEHIND what happened. The scenes around what was on screen. There may be a few nods to Leroux and Kay, but my Erik is Gerik – 100%, blue eyes and all. But I couldn’t resist resurrecting Philippe, because he practically writes himself and never shuts up in my head (he’s also my Beta’s favourite character, which he would adore). Plus he makes Raoul seem like less of a dick. Sorry Patrick - love you, truly - but movie Raoul makes me want to beat his oblivious, arrogant, dismissive head against the nearest brick wall!

    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.
    (The course of true love never did run smooth.)

    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.

    Updates every 2-3 weeks, sometimes faster.

    Summary

    As December rolled around, it was the same angels that led her back through the forest. They chided her gently, falling to the wind as it swept across the mountain. The same angels were hidden in the gaps of snow, wings drawn from the dirt beneath the hollows. She breathed life into the halos even as her insides bled and burned, blood coating the inside of her mouth.
