The RED Opera House [Complete Lore]

The RED Opera House AU is a chaotic, hilarious, and unexpectedly heartfelt Team Fortress 2 adaptation of "The Phantom of the Opera." Set in the grand and constantly disastrous RED Opera House, the story follows Sniper as the infamous Phantom - a shadowy, sharp-tongued menace lurking in the rafters who delights in throwing piss jars and causing havoc. His target? Scout, the rising star of the stage, whose talent and stubbornness catch the Phantom's attention.

As Scout fights for his place in the spotlight, he finds himself the unlikely recipient of Sniper's strange and persistent admiration - delivered in the form of cryptic notes, perfectly placed roses, and no shortage of dramatic sabotage. Despite the Phantom's infuriating methods, his belief in Scout's potential slowly wears down Scout's defenses, leading to a complicated and undeniable tension between them.

Meanwhile, the rest of the RED team navigates the opera house's nonstop chaos: Medic's explosive diva tantrums, Heavy's patient but resigned support, Demo's drunken heroics, and Spy's constant exasperation. As performances spiral out of control and the Phantom's plans unfold, the story builds toward a high-stakes, over-the-top romantic crescendo.

The RED Opera House AU is equal parts comedy, drama, and slow-burn tension, packed with larger-than-life personalities and a surprising depth of emotion. At its heart, it's a story of ambition, obsession, and a love that blooms in the shadows.
