Poor poor (Y/n) doesn't know what she's getting into when a strange cat starts to follow her relentlessly around the opera house......

2022 Update! (Previously titled Second Before the Sound ) "But just imagine-!" A loud shout is barked up at us, interrupting him. The source of the disturbance is from a stout, heavyweight man - my supervisor this time instead of me being his - four stories below. "Vincent! Elodie! Get down here and do your jobs!" I felt the blisters on my feet ache from the order. I couldn't help but to let a brief groan roll over my vocal chords, a little too loudly, because Vin's fiery glance catches me. "The man's right, you know. We do have jobs, why are you complaining?" "Because I want to only sit here and watch from above, not work- not dance." Vincent had already risen from where he sat with me on the edge of a wooden walkway, hovering above the bustle. It isn't as crowded up here as it is down there, although I love the hustle and bustle, I hate being in it. It's noisy and cramped and there's always human contact. Up on the catwalk, you can actually breathe for a minute. The ropes that dance around us aren't as nosy either. "You can do that when you're dead." - And dead she shall be. In 1877, six years before the fire, Elodie Benóit is a backstage hand and stage manager of the Paris Opera House. She hasn't performed in years, and intends to keep it that way. She adores being the silent creator of the backstage world. No one knew her by name, but instead knew her by her art. One day, an opera ghost threatens the very balance of Elodie's theater. He's made Elodie a subject of his attention. Although she may hide from the audience, no matter where she goes, she can't hide from this phantom. When he begins to send Elodie orders, she begins to disobey him. Thus the beginning of her haunting-

Erik X reader You met once, long ago. Ever since that, you have felt a feeling of being watched. It isn't creepy though, it's almost reassuring in a way. One day, you meet again... *for girls* (Obviously, I don't own POTO, and, not as obviously, the art for the cover isn't mine) ☆彡

Ever since Christine left, the Phantom is heartbroken. Y/N is, also, for she cannot bear to ever see Erik damaged, hurt, or heartbroken. Erik just thinks Y/N is overprotective of her first and only friend, but little does Erik know that Y/N is actually in love with Erik. A few weeks later, when Y/N's childhood friend, Philippe, comes along, everything, even Erik's rising love for Y/N, crumbles. Find out what happens in this story filled with adventure, romance, masquerades, and evil people. (By the way, this is my first online story, so sorry if it's really bad! Enjoy!) Also, I do not own The Phantom of the Opera or most of the pictures.

(Y/n), adopted daughter of Madame Giry was a ballet dancer at the Opera Populaire. She had been abandoned at the age of 5 years old. She had a beautiful singing voice that is said to be able to hypnotize those who are listening. Although her curiosity, and craving for adventure gets her into trouble.

The life of an ordinary girl is turned upside down when she is transported into her favorite musical, "The Phantom of the Opera," in the place of the elegant heroine. Negotiating life in 19th-century Paris is challenging enough without a diva scheming for leads, a sarcastic Persian's input, and two very different men battling for her affections! Should she stay faithful to the plot of the story or rewrite history? Should she choose a safe path with a reliable husband or risk her future following her mysterious Phantom? Told from the points of view of Erik - the Phantom - and the newly-made Christine, this story follows them both as they work through their respective demons to find love in the person that is a little different from all their imaginings. "A really well-written Erik/OC, with a lovely, smart, likable heroine. If you ever fantasized about taking Christine's place in POTO, read this." - @olivesky "I am literally crying right now. That was so good!" - @musicalsnmarkiplier "One of the best fan fictions I have ever read" - @elephant_hugger "I just discovered this today and finished it in one go. This is an extraordinary work, Erik deserves you to portray him 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻" - @Myatnoe123 "Sacrificing a few hours of sleep was worth finishing this." - @LiberDose "I must confess you've ruined all other Phantom of the Opera fanfictions" - @LilRed315 "Thank you for the 2-in-the-morning giggles, the falling-out-of-the-bed-blushing phangirl moments, and just writing this book in general! You are the best author!" - @ThatBabyQuinnDoh *Now available to read on archiveofourown.org* Disclaimer: I do not own The Phantom of the Opera or its characters.
