Everything was normal, but then, two years ago, the toxic rain fell and everything went wrong from there. Paint dripping off buildings, power lines melting, and people turning into monsters. Gray's just a normal guy living in apocalyptic times trying to get by. But when a supply run goes bad he's left stranded with his worst nightmare. Creature Feature! Slash.

***NOTE: This book is the third and final of this series. If you would like to make sense of this book, please refer back to books one and two. After your opera ghost's grand escape, things- ironically- get more difficult. You try your best given the circumstances... however, considering that the love of your life is on the run, your best doesn't seem to be enough. You wish that you could live life with Erik as you had before, when your little secret resided in the Opera Populaire- but the both of you do your best to continue your lives with one another, even though there'll be hell to pay... and it doesn't help that there's a baby on the way.

After Christine makes her disappearance, you and many other people strive to bring the Opera Populaire back to its former glory... That involves you having to climb your way up the social latter, deal with an investigation on your beloved opera ghost, and make many more relationships with those around you.

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.

'Greywake, where your love of lakes blossom.' You've never been to a lake, as far as you remember. And you've never really liked the idea of being in deep, dark water, especially when you're unsure of what's down there. Alas, your father decides to take you to his expensive lake house that's in the middle of nowhere. Your father isn't even going because he wants to. He's going because someone from his work suddenly quit, and he is hoping to be given the job. So, you're going to be stuck at his lake house for a bit, being by yourself the majority of the time. And if he does get the job, you're going to be stuck at his lake house for quite a while. But, while you're here, you might as well get over your fear of deep water. (This takes place in the same world as my Forest Creature x Reader fanfic) ( if you haven't read the Forest Creature x Reader yet, it's called Heartwood, and I suggest you check it out because it's my favorite work so far!)

Heartwood, Noun: The dense inner part of a tree trunk, yielding the hardest timber. After your mother got a divorce, the both of you moved to a large one story house. It was in the middle of nowhere, and your entire backyard was just one giant forest. While your mother was weaving her Easter basket, you decided to follow a path of flowers into the woods. That was ten years ago. Now, as an eighteen year old, you still have dreams of that moment; following the white flowers into the dense forest ahead. And as your mother takes a business trip to Toronto, Canada, leaving you home alone, you will figure out if that dream truly is just a dream. Started around July 10th, 2020.
