❝ my darling , you are more than enough than the world that has handicapped you . " it wasn't more than a simple whisper, but it was ringing and pure , and the horrifying man sank to his knees , fingers shaking and eyes bleeding unspoken emotion , now no more coherent than the boy he once was , long ago . ❞

O F A L L P E O P L E , it was meg giry who'd found the mask . and of all people , it'd be meg giry to find the man beneath it . after the events of the phantom of the opera , an odd trio sails across the atlantic towards a new start , away from crime and punishment and what meg so dearly holds as her home . but when murderous trouble follows them to new york city , they suddenly find themselves in a web of death and lies , orchestrated by a man only known as 'jack' . who is this man ? what is the motive behind this murderous spree ? and how is he connected to meg ? together , meg and erik will be faced with a mystery - one much closer to their hearts than they might have ever bargained for .

━━ an lnd retelling , meg-centric with a side of merik and a murder mystery for dessert 🪄
