Phantom Fanfiction - Modern Day - On Going
Ranked #23 in ThePhantomOfTheOpera on 7/15/18
Mature!
Operetta Krause has always been given the short end of the stick. With a past she'd rather keep hidden, she attempts to focus on her Broadway career, and her son, Andrew. She even performs in the production of The Phantom Of The Opera. Over all, everything is going fine for her, until one day after a long rehearsal, she stumbles upon a masked man who claims to be the Phantom himself.
After finding out Christine was marrying Raoul, Erik lost himself. He lacked all hope of finding happiness. Hopeless and on the run, he finds a witch who decides to help him, until feelings that shouldn't have formed came into play, making the witch, Fay, grow angry with Erik, and sending him to the future, 2017
Operetta doesn't know what to do with the 'phantom' who seems to be a big thorn in her side. All he wants is to find Christine, and all she wants is for him to get out of her hair. Sending him back seems pointless, so she decides to help him find his 'Christine'. Everyone in the cast, including Opera, is a doppelganger to the real people from Erik's time, causing more unnecessary drama for Opera.
Only one problem, she plays Carlotta. How can Erik work alongside the woman he could never stand?
I do not own the Phantom of the Opera or it's characters, yada, yada, yada. #CarlottaLivesMatter
"Christine, I love you."
The phantom's voice played a sweet tune in my mind. It was the first time he had confessed his love, but sadly, I couldn't return the favor. He had given me everything, fame, fortune, and a life of excitement and curiosity. Still, he had threatened to hang my beloved Raoul and sentence me to an eternity locked away from the world.
My clammy hands shook with emotion as I slid the beautiful, diamond ring off my finger. The disfigured man helplessly gazed into my eyes, transforming my soul. I was the only one to look past his hideous physical appearance, to know how to comfort a creature of darkness; I couldn't bare holding in my emotions any longer. Tears plunged down my pale cheeks and I looked down to take his hand. Making sure not to drop the small item, I closed his rough fingers around the ring. "Goodbye," all sadness echoing through my word. I spun around and dragged my wedding dress through the foggy water to meet Raoul's awaiting boat.

UPDATE 2020: Hello, all! I realized that this book recently gained traction in the fanfic world of Wattpad, again. Unfortunately, I wrote this back in 2014 and have yet to go through and edit.
At one point, I planned on making a sequel to this. I don't expect to do so any time soon, but I appreciate the reads and the comments!
