When struggling actress Marianna Harper finally catches her big break in a new, filmed-for-DVD production of "The Phantom of the Opera," she believes life couldn't be better. But when the part proves to be more challenging than she expected and the fans begin questioning her abilities, the pressure begins to overwhelm her. She begins to doubt herself and makes an innocent wish for help to be as good as the character she portrays... And little does she know that wish will change her life forever.

We all know that Erik and Eponine were generations apart, never meant to meet, never meant to know each other's sorrows. But what if things were different? What if the Phantom's story had occurred years earlier, in 1832? Could things have been different if the paths of the angel in Hell and the girl on her own had crossed? Could their sad fates have been changed? Could they have seen the beauty underneath?

|| Book 1 of The Shadow's Melody || As a maid here at the new Opéra Populaire I can certainly sense something different. Something missing. It lacked him. The Opera Ghost who disappeared. I know I should let it go. I know I shouldn't constantly think about a dead man. A murderer. But I simply can't. I can't forget about that man I fell in love with those many years ago. I yearned to hear his angelic voice again. I begged for it. Hoped for it. Prayed for it. I called for him in my dreams. The man they called The Phantom of the Opera. I would never have guessed that my hopes and prayers would soon be answered.

There are some things in this world that just can't be explained, like falling through a mirror, for example. Or ending up in your favorite movie because you fell through 'said' mirror. It may sound a bit, extensive, but it happens. Katerina was a normal eighteen year old girl until she, well, fell through her mirror. Now she's stuck in a film she knows all too well, The Phantom of the Opera. Will she be able to re-write a timeless tale, or will she ruin the one thing she has cherished for so long? Because in this world of unending night, anything is possible.

Erik thought he had seen all weirdness and cruelty of the world. Well until he meets a chorus member who changes everything with an odd twist. She will change Erik's fate if he so chooses. I DO NOT OWN THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

Raeann knew it wasn't wise. She wasn't being rational. But one day, she decides to pack up what little is important to her and run. Erik had never known kindness. Recently heartbroken over a young girl named Christine, he trudges through life with his head low. Everybody flees from his face, but will he find somebody who excepts him? Erik finds an injured girl in the woods surrounding his secluded home and takes her with him. Raeann knows that Erik has his flaws, but, as her father once told her, everybody has small anomalies. It starts as a friendship, but once Erik hears her voice, he won't let her leave. What happens when an act of kindness turns into a nightmare? (Modern Day)

You might know the story of the infamous Phantom of the Opera. How he was banished from society, and doomed to forever be alone, and how he loved the rising Prima Donna, Christine Daae. But what if there was someone who saw him? What happens when a curious little ballet rat named Isa wanders to the depths of the Populaire and finds the opera ghost? Will he be saved? or is it too late? (I do not own The Phantom of the Opera, or the characters, or the songs. I only own Isa.) Mostly Andrew Lloyd Webber version, but I might add touches of Leroux. Also the title might change. ENJOY! :)

~ Sequel to In My Darkness: La Chatte Noire ~ She had listened. She had heard the music, she had loved him. Then all her beautiful dreams turned to nightmares, and the flames took her love from her. He was gone, yet he was still there. In her dreams, in her mind. He haunted her every breath. She saw him in the shadows everywhere she went. And she pined for him. When by his memory, Camillé was lost, La Chatte arose to save her.

Adeline Laurent is a girl, scared of the world. Erik Destler is the Phantom of the Opera, and learning to be lonely. When they meet on the most unlikely of circumstances, they discover that sometimes all you can ask of someone is to love you unconditionally. But when the Vicomte tries to come between them, will Adeline ask all of Raoul, or will she listen to the Music of the Night?

The authorities always spin the story so the person who did the actual killing is on the bad end of the argument, she's noticed that. They never even stop to wonder whether or not the person who did the killing was, oh... trying to save their own life, perhaps? She doesn't understand why they always make her out to be the bad guy. Yes, she's stolen a few things, and yes, she's killed a few people, but she always had a reason. The people she's killed are worse than she is. La Chatte Noire never kills without reasoning, without justice. Unfortunately, the authorities don't like vigilantes so much, and her reputation of thieving precedes her. But for some reason she doesn't understand, he doesn't care. Book One in the In My Darkness series. A Phantom of the Opera fiction.
