A Phantom of the Opera retelling that deals with unhealthy relationships, the ability to heal and change, and learning when to say goodbye.
A year ago, Christine was captured by her music teacher in New York and held underground for weeks. A kiss freed her body, but not her mind.
Not long after he let her go, Erik made a resolution: become worthy of Christine's love. After intensive surgery, he now looks like any other man, free to walk out of the shadows - if he can bring himself to do so.
Now, as Christine starts life anew in Minnesota to attend college, he finds her again. However, a changed face can not erase the scars of the mind or spirit. Somehow, the two must heal - together or apart.

Come into the Light
"I have realized... it is better to be alone, Meg. The people I love won't get hurt." He whispered to me and then I saw him. The man I know and love; the man torn between wanting to love and scared of it; the man wanting to feel but runs away from everything that makes him feel because he is afraid of losing it. "I learned with Christine that I cannot love, Meg. I cannot love anyone...I only hurt them. And no one can love me. Who could?" "I could." I couldn't believe I just said it. He froze and I just kept talking, afraid the words would stop coming out of my mouth. "That's where you're wrong, Erik. You've always believed that no one could ever love you, all of you, even with your deformity. And yet, I have loved you since I was seventeen years old. You hid yourself behind the "Phantom of the Opera" but I never saw a Phantom. I saw a man desperate to be loved, to be loved not only for his music but for himself. I thought Christine could be the one to finally show you that love since I was so afraid to do so. But not afraid of you but what I know you would say. Christine chose wrong, Erik. I would've chosen you in a heartbeat... I do choose you."Complete

The Phantom's Admirer
“Why doesn’t she just love me back? I’ve given her everything!” Erik was almost in tears in front of me. I bent down next to him and wiped away a stray tear. He looked up into my eyes. “Nobody can choose who they love. Love is a gift, but it is also a curse. It either makes you, or breaks you.” He then brushed back a piece of my hair from my face and gave me a confused look. “How do you know this, Alice?” I looked down and took a breath. “Because it broke me.” Alice has been in love with the Phantom of the Opera since she read the book in her freshman year of high school. When her graduating class of high school goes to Paris, she can’t help but go along. One night, she sneaks out to find the man she loves she realizes she needs to go back in time to find him. When she arrives, she sees that the only way to win over his heart, is to make him fall for her, instead of Christine. So, with her trusty copy of the Phantom of the Opera, will she be able to make him love her too? I do not own the Phantom or any other character from the Phantom of the Opera. I only own Alice and her new adventures.Complete
Her Innocence || Phantom of the Opera
"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!Complete

The Treasure *Phantom of the Opera* (sequel to The Quest)
1871- Two lost souls found their dreams in Seville, but the dangers are far from eliminated, while in France a new terror has arisen. *some fantasy* based on 2004 movie- STRONG sexual situations E/C, R/M. All usual disclaimers apply; I don't own the PotO characters or music, but the original songs and characters are mine. Based solely on the Erik/Christine of 2004 movie (how I perceived them)- but still a high fantasy with Erik as a King of Music and Christine his Queen. Please note the M/MA rating - it's there for a reason. This story is very explicit at times as far as sex goes, increasing as story progresses- no-holds-barred- so please be warned. There are also other adult situations that warrant the M... All pictures/ book covers shown are my creation - E/C manips I made to go with scenes in my story.Complete
