After Christine wakes in Erik's home, she realizes how much she needs her one real family. Erik learns what it means to love and be loved. The family goes through many trials and tribulations, but one thing is for sure: neither Erik and Christine are the same people they were ten years ago, and they are both determined to never be separated again.

On the night the Opera Populaire was consumed by fire, Erik rode into the wilderness on horseback, discovering an expansive castle that... Belonged to him? He lived there, all alone... Until Christine happened to show up at his doorstep. But why was she there? Where was Raoul? What if Erik and Christine both had... A fatal flaw? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Other Information: • In introducing Erik to Christianity in this fanfiction, I do not mean to play the part of God. "Fatal Flaw" is just a fictional story, and I really wanted to see Erik find the Light. In real life, however, only the Lord can make this happen. • The characters in this story belong to their rightful owners (such as Gaston Leroux and Victor Hugo), not to me. All I've done is taken them and written a fanfiction about them.

Face it, we all want to know what it would have been like if Christine and Erik had a daughter, so instead of Gustave, we have Gwen. This is a love never dies fanfic with an alternative ending Note: I'm setting this story 13 years later and not 10 because I want Gwen to be more mature. Christine is 29, Raoul is 31 and Erik is 37 Meg is 29 as well. As for madam Giry.. She's just old
