"Goodbye to all my darkness, there's nothing here but light
Adieu to all the faceless things that sleep with me at night
This here is not make-up, it's a porcelain tomb,
And this here is not singing I'm just screaming in tune!"
Eponine Dubois, daughter of a cellist, a dancer who doesn't enjoy the constriction of ballet, and a singer when she needs to let out the feelings she buries deep with herself.
~~~
When he joined in Eponine's music with his violin, he half-expected her to run away. But she stayed. He wanted to hear more, he wanted to be a part of her song. She continued singing, letting her heart spill out. He felt every wave that washed over him. He did not want to stay in the shadows any longer.
He wanted to prove that someone was listening.

Seal My Fate•Phantom of the Opera Fanfiction

Unfortunately, not all dreams are good ones. And the opera ghost? Well, that wasn't exactly one of her best dreams. Now that the characters are as real to her as she is, is she still willing to advance the plot at their expense? Does she even have the power to make that decision? The song says she'll live as she's never lived before; surely that's true, but is it a good thing? That's up to her.

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
