While visiting your father's workplace in 19th century France, you find yourself having to rush inside in of the Opera Populaire during a stormy night, for... obvious reasons. And that seemed fine. After all- aside from the sleeping ballerinas and a few other people, there wasn't supposed to be anyone around. Much less, walking around...

However, that doesn't seem to be the case.

You are quick to be whisked away by a masked stranger. After he fixes you up and allows you to stay the night with him, a powerful friendship begins to spark between the two of you, and you soon become an apprentice to the ever-so-famous opera ghost. You seem to know more about the events in the opera house than anyone else does- Christine Daaé, Joseph Buquet, Meg Giry, and even her own mother. You seem to hold as much knowledge as the man who brought you there.

All seems well for a while. The operas, parties, drinking, and love triangles continue on as if nothing happened...

That is, until you realize that you're in love with that man clad in black.

***

Note: This story begins at around the same time that the musical does - when managers André and Firmin first take charge of the opera house. I tried to stay true to most of the story line, but there will be a few minor changes.

The Phantom of the Opera  by Gaston Leroux by Imogen742
29 parts Complete
"The Phantom of the Opera" by Gaston Leroux is a fictional novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the mysterious figure known as the Opera Ghost, who haunts the Paris Opera House and exerts influence over the opera singers, particularly the talented Christine Daaé. Central to the plot are Christine, a gifted singer sheltered by the ghost's protective presence, and Raoul, the Viscount de Chagny, who ardently loves her and becomes embroiled in the ghost's enigmatic realm. The beginning of "The Phantom of the Opera" sets up a tantalizing mystery, both through its prologue, which claims the existence of the ghost is factual, and the opening chapters that dive into the bustling environment of the opera house. As the managers are preparing for their retirement celebration, the ghost's ominous presence is felt through frightened ballet girls discussing strange happenings and a tragic death linked to the ghost, Joseph Buquet. These elements foreshadow the turmoil surrounding Christine Daaé, who after a spectacular performance, begins to withdraw from public life due to an inexplicable fear, while Raoul's affection for her fuels the narrative's tension. The stage is thus set for a Gothic tale of love, obsession, and the supernatural.

17 parts Ongoing Mature
Sophia's picture-perfect life-rife with wealth, charm, and promise-shattered in an instant when a fatal truck accident claimed her life. Yet fate, or rather the pages of her most beloved R-19 erotic romance, had a different design in store. Reborn as Avangéline De Beaumont, the breathtaking noble daughter of the Marquess of Beaumont in England, she finds herself ensnared in a treacherous narrative where her end is already scripted-a doomed chandelier accident ignited by the Phantom's fury. Determined to defy destiny and escape her fated demise as a mere side character, Avangéline embarks on a daring mission: to rewrite the Phantom's tormented future so that the story's doomed heroine-destined to fall for him-will unmake his tragic path. But as her carefully orchestrated plan begins to unravel, an unexpected passion awakens within her. The dangerous allure of the Phantom-with smoldering eyes and an enigmatic presence-sparks a forbidden desire that threatens to consume her every scheme. In a world where each whispered secret and stolen, fevered moment challenges fate itself, will Avangéline cling to her meticulously laid plans for survival? Or surrender to an all-consuming passion that might shatter the very fabric of her new life? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Note: Chapters 1 to 9 are currently under revision. I'm trying to enhance the narrative and character development to provide a richer reading experience. Thank you for your understanding and support as I refine this journey. Stay tuned for the updated chapters!
