**"The Dark Mirror"**
An obsessive gothic reimagining of The Phantom of the Opera (2004)
Phantom x Female Reader
Beneath the haunted halls of the Paris Opera, the Phantom mourns the love that spurned him-until you arrive.
A mysterious new dancer cloaked in velvet and shadow, you are calm where Christine trembled, fascinated where she feared. Pale-skinned, green-eyed, and drawn to the darker corners of beauty and madness, you catch the Phantom's eye-and then his heart.
As obsession blooms into a dangerous devotion, a gothic romance unfolds in the candlelit depths: operas written for you alone, mirrors that remember your reflection, and a kingdom of ruin ruled by two souls entwined by darkness. But the surface world does not forget-and neither does she.
**Step beyond the mirror. Become his muse. Become his madness. And never return.**

Seal My Fate•Phantom of the Opera Fanfiction
*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.

My boss secretly watches me though the mirror
It wasn't a mirror-it was a glass. And he was on the other side, watching me fall for him. When Aria Vale moves into her new apartment, she thinks the antique mirror on her bedroom wall is just another relic of the past. Until she starts feeling watched. What she doesn't know is that it isn't a mirror at all. It's glass. And behind it-someone's there. Liam Drevaux is her boss at the tech firm. Cold, brilliant, untouchable. But when she looks into that mirror, when she whispers to herself in the dark, she has no idea the man she fears and desires most is already watching... every. single. night. What starts as a reflection becomes an obsession-two lives caught between guilt and desire, glass and sin. And when the mirror finally cracks, so will everything they thought they knew about love, trust, and control. Because some secrets are much more fun when revealed.Complete
