    Summary

    There was nothing left to do but put this strange woman from his mind. She was, after all, nothing more than another pretty woman in Paris, doing what all Parisians of a more attractive build did: forget they were dying slow, happy lives at the expense of others’ misfortune. He told himself that he would not fall vulnerable to the whims of such creatures. Not when they served no purpose in a monster’s life, save to bring him false hope.

    But Erik was always horrible at keeping promises—especially the ones made to himself.

    Summary

    It's her first masked ball at the Opera, and it may very well be her last when she accidentally acquires one of the Opera Ghost's personal effects. Leroux-ish, post-canon, E/OC. First posted to FFN in 2016. Complete, but chapter uploads will be staggered.

    Summary

    Several failed business ventures later, a music school dropout found himself with his mother's meager inheritance and the chance to stop the city from bulldozing the whole thing. That was the early 2000s, and now he sat on a park that threatened to turn a profit...any day now.

    Only, of course, if people did not stop trying to break in.
