The life of an ordinary girl is turned upside down when she is transported into her favorite musical, "The Phantom of the Opera," in the place of the elegant heroine. Negotiating life in 19th-century Paris is challenging enough without a diva scheming for leads, a sarcastic Persian's input, and two very different men battling for her affections!
Should she stay faithful to the plot of the story or rewrite history? Should she choose a safe path with a reliable husband or risk her future following her mysterious Phantom?
Told from the points of view of Erik - the Phantom - and the newly-made Christine, this story follows them both as they work through their respective demons to find love in the person that is a little different from all their imaginings.

What would become of Eleanor when she finds herself transported to a different place, much so, in a different time? Strange. The last thing she remembered was receiving a music box from an unknown sender, and now, everything around her changed. "Work for an opera house?"

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."

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 Quest - *Phantom of the Opera* (a fantasy romance)
1871- It was all either of them ever wanted, to share in a life abundant with their music and love. She only hoped their chosen quest would not become their dying finale... E/C sequel story - some fantasy- sexual situations (MA) - based on 2004 movie and symbolism in it. This is a historical romance, but it is also a supernatural high fantasy. Forget everything you believe to be true about the tragic tale of the Phantom of the Opera and his Angel of Music, and, in the words of our beloved Erik - "Let your mind take you on a journey to a strange new world, leave all thoughts of this life you knew before... " It is different, it is unique - but both can be intriguing. Book cover and all pictures shown within chapters are of E/C manips that I made for this story.Complete
Her Innocence || Phantom of the Opera
"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!Complete

The Treasure *Phantom of the Opera* (sequel to The Quest)
1871- Two lost souls found their dreams in Seville, but the dangers are far from eliminated, while in France a new terror has arisen. *some fantasy* based on 2004 movie- STRONG sexual situations E/C, R/M. All usual disclaimers apply; I don't own the PotO characters or music, but the original songs and characters are mine. Based solely on the Erik/Christine of 2004 movie (how I perceived them)- but still a high fantasy with Erik as a King of Music and Christine his Queen. Please note the M/MA rating - it's there for a reason. This story is very explicit at times as far as sex goes, increasing as story progresses- no-holds-barred- so please be warned. There are also other adult situations that warrant the M... All pictures/ book covers shown are my creation - E/C manips I made to go with scenes in my story.Complete
