"What would you do if you were trapped in your favourite musical?"

***

Annika Knight has a relatively normal life in the twenty-first century - she goes to college, has two crazy friends, and has enough family drama to occupy her nights. However, this soon changes one night when she is drawn to a disembodied voice calling to her from behind the old mirror in her bedroom. 

Now in nineteenth-century Paris at the height of the Phantom of the Opera's antics, Annika is forced to navigate an unfamiliar world as she carves out her own narrative alongside the original story of her favourite musical. But as her love for the mysterious masked Phantom blossoms, she is forced with an impossible choice: allow the original story to play out as she has always known it, or divert the story in her favour?

***

A Phantom of the Opera fanfiction set in the world of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical of the classic French tale by Gaston Leroux.

Phantom Child by Nice_Cream

Maya (OC) is an orphan living on the streets of Paris. One day she hides underneath the opera house and meets The Phantom, who suprisingly doesn't kill her and they soon start to get on. How will a 13-year-old handle being a wittness of Erik's moral decay? So trying to fill the void that the musical had created I accidentally came up with teenage Daroga... Enjoy! This is NOT an ErikxOC and NOT ErikxReader story. The story is almost fully pre-written as I start posting this (I have two last chapters to write) so I will not leave it unfinished.

Her Innocence || Phantom of the Opera by SimpleSav

"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!

Hunter in the Dark by Rose-de-Noire

Raoul's older sibling returns to Paris and is instantly fascinated by the Phantom, Erik in turn is just annoyed to have one more de Chagny in the picture. So they go for a hunt, each with their own motives. It turns out differently as each of them expected. This story begins at the end, kinda. ------------------ This is an older story of mine I overhauled and therefore already finished! Rating: NC-17 hetero Genre: Romance Pairing: E/OC Words: around 10'000 Status: Complete Warnings: Wild mix of all the phantom-verses, mainly Kay and definitely AU A lot of OOC'ness from Raoul's and Philippe's part (even if we never see him in persona). The Persian too and Erik... Oh heck, Erik... Erik is just my version Erik. Means, he's a medley of all the Eriks/Phantoms I know in literature, films, musicals mixed with a good brush of my own dirty, insane, phantasies and memories. But, he always looks like Leroux/Kay Erik, only his eyes just reflect in the dusty light of darkness and seem to be yellow-cattish; in peaceful daylight they're from the color like of the midnight-sky, with golden sparkles, like falling stardust... With this I bid you goodbye and let you read...

Unconditional Love || A Phantom of the Opera Fanfiction || by Phantom_Christine_5

One event changed everything in Christine Daae's life. Erik Destlar fell in love with her and decided to take her to live with him. Will she ever love him back? Modern day, E/C... COMPLETED ___________________________________________________________ I do NOT claim the original work of Gaston Leroux "The Phantom of the Opera." I also do NOT condone things discussed, written, or otherwise made known through my work such as stalking, kidnapping, marrying kidnappers/stalkers, or the like. My only wish is to make Leroux's book accessible to modern readers with a few plot twists here and there. I can only hope I have done his acclaimed work justice with my retelling.

To Outwit an Angel by LatestParis_Style

[COMPLETE] Sure, best friends Loretta and Sharlene always dreamed of escaping their hometown, but they found it coming much sooner than expected... in the form of Victorian Paris. The catch? They landed in the bodies of rival opera singers. As they balance free will and destiny, the Phantom prowls in every corner of the Paris opera. In this dark spiral of secrets, their biggest mistake was thinking they might outwit the mastermind who pulls the strings in this parallel universe. With everything at stake, will their friendship survive the twists of fate--and the soft, beckoning voice of the Phantom, which haunts the opera's very bones?

The Underground Music (Phantom of the Opera Fanfic) by MusicotheNight

Seal My Fate•Phantom of the Opera Fanfiction by -Ange-de-la-Musique-

*OLD STORY* As a writer, Emma knows better than anyone that characters exist to suffer. Her motto has always been "Help the plot, hurt the characters." That changes when, after being knocked unconscious in a dreadful car accident, she wakes up in a world that's not her own; a world where all her dreams come true. 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. Tied for 1st place in the Erik x OC section of @BrendaDaaeDestler's Phantom's Rose Awards
