While visiting your father's workplace in 19th century France, you find yourself having to rush inside in of the Opera Populaire during a stormy night, for... obvious reasons. And that seemed fine. After all- aside from the sleeping ballerinas and a few other people, there wasn't supposed to be anyone around. Much less, walking around... However, that doesn't seem to be the case. You are quick to be whisked away by a masked stranger. After he fixes you up and allows you to stay the night with him, a powerful friendship begins to spark between the two of you, and you soon become an apprentice to the ever-so-famous opera ghost. You seem to know more about the events in the opera house than anyone else does- Christine Daaé, Joseph Buquet, Meg Giry, and even her own mother. You seem to hold as much knowledge as the man who brought you there. All seems well for a while. The operas, parties, drinking, and love triangles continue on as if nothing happened... That is, until you realize that you're in love with that man clad in black. *** Note: This story begins at around the same time that the musical does - when managers André and Firmin first take charge of the opera house. I tried to stay true to most of the story line, but there will be a few minor changes.

You are one of many people in France who (hardly) make a living as a beggar. Street corners have become your home, kind words become a rarity, and while you have often heard talk of revolution, it wasn't until much later that you were finally able attend one of the meetings led by some freedom-thirsty schoolboys. It was only then that you officially decided to become part of this revolution... and you soon realized how great of a love you held for both a man and for France. *** Note: I do not own any of the characters from Les Misérables! They are all a part of the work by Victor Hugo (who is a really great author)... also, while I do own some portions of the plot, this is primarily based off of the order from musical.
