What If? The Phantom of the Opera (fan-fiction)

After the events of the infamous Andrew Lloyd Webber music, The Phantom of the Opera, many rabid fans are left longing to know what happens next in the story of Christine Daae and her Angel of Music. While a sequel, Love Never Dies, does exist, this is my individual interpretation of the events following the tragic downfall of the Opera Populaire.

"What If" is a thrilling take on the classic love story of the Phantom of the Opera, answering the age old question, "What if Christine and the Phantom were not truly separated?" With a flourish of colorful characters, "What If" channels the emotions of Christine, Erik, and a myriad of other characters, giving life to a new generation of Phantom fans.

After the events of "Don Juan Triumphant", Christine is left longing for her Angel, as Erik, the Phantom, begins to lose hope of ever finding his love, or his soul. When Erik is taken in by a young girl and her family, he finds himself in a new, high society world, full
deceit, lust, cruelty, and treachery. Christine finds herself struggling to adjust to a normal life, and she is terrified of the idea of raising a family, and she is waiting for the day when she will be saved from her life of normality.

For those interested in an enthralling work of Phantom of the Opera fan fiction, or a theatre lover of any sort, this fan fiction is a window into the whirlwind of events following the iconic musical.

All characters belong to Andrew Lloyd Webber and A Very Useful Theatre Company unless otherwise stated.

Events in the story are made from a combination of the Broadway musical, the 2004 Schumacher film, as well as my own imagination. Enjoy!
