Christine's Christmas Present (Phantom of the Opera phan fic)

Two years have passed since the burning of the Opera Populaire and Raoul and Christine have since exchanged vows, but all is not well. The vicomte's love for his bedridden wife compels him on a quest to restore her passion for life and music, even if it leads him to butt heads again with an old rival. Meanwhile, old enemies are gathering. A tale of love and redemption.

Author's Note: This story follows the 2004 movie version of Phantom of the Opera. There are some elements inspired by Leroux's original work, the 1990 novel Phantom by Susan Kay, the 1999 novel The Phantom of Manhattan by Frederick Forsyth, and from the original musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber as well as its little-known sequel Love Never Dies, but none of those works are treated as canon in this story. I encourage you, the reader, to imagine Erik's singing as your favorite Phantom voice. I'm particularly fond of John Owen-Jones.
