    Summary

    You're a brilliant woman, and there is no doubt about it. Your herbal skills make you the best healer a traveler can find. To others, your life is a mystery and you're nothing more than a selfless foreign witch with a thick accent and flashy clothes.

    There are also those who say that you're nothing but a charlatan.

    But when rumors about a transcontinental race with a huge reward reached your ears, you didn't hesitate and headed straight to the dusty lands of San Diego to offer your somewhat esoteric services to the runners and spectators.

    Summary

    Long ago, the Emperor of Rome crucified an oracle out of fear of her prophecies. From her mouth, it was decreed that his eldest, Giorno, was fated to be celebrated by history and loved by all but the one he loved most. Then Donatello, who would inherit his bloodlust and sadism but none of his cunning. After him, Ungalo, so hideous that his wet nurses recoiled from him. And Rikiel, doomed to a mind so fragile that his eyes would droop and he would forget to breathe. A prophecy only spoken in hushed whispers behind closed doors, one that never would have reached you in the cramped insula nestled at the foot of the Aventine Hill where you grew up.

    And then Giorno had seen you in the stands from the Imperial Box of the Colosseum, and you found yourself trapped within it.

    You could learn to love him, you decided once he had made you his wife. You could learn, if the cocky gladiator with the pretty green eyes would stop occupying your every waking thought. You could learn, if the woman he had broken his engagement to would stop staring daggers at you.

    You could learn, if you could manage to survive.

    (Or, “plebeian marries the future Emperor of Rome and instead falls in love with his gladiator bodyguard.”)

    Summary

    Born into a life characterized by a mountain of minor misfortune, you've had your eyes on the Steel Ball Run race like any other person. However, it isn't the fifty million dollar award that you're after. Rather, the opportunity to be reborn as a new man with a new name—and more importantly, answers surrounding your father.

    Of course, plans fall through and you find yourself with answers to questions you never thought possible when unwillingly wrapped in something much bigger than you could have ever imagined. Still, you won't say no to your new-found company.

    Summary

    “I'm happy for lord Poseidon's protection, you must be happy too, my son, you've such a devoted follower since you were young.” Anticlea chewed her lower lip, a wrinkle forming between her thin brows. “I'm just worried all this good fortune will come to an end. It is very easy for a human to fall out of love, for a god especially so. I don't want this love to turn into hatred.”

     

    (Or: Odysseus is a devoted follower of Poseidon. The sea god notices him and takes him as his lover. But is it enough to change Odysseus's fate? Or will he find love in another place?)

    Summary

    The confusion on Marcille's face was loud and clear. "Your brother has a... dungeon club with dragons?"

    "'Dungeons and Dragons' club," Falin corrected.

    "Dungeons and Dragons," Marcille repeated, still unsure what that meant, "And you want me to join?"

    A shy smile bloomed across Falin's face that was still stained red from her earlier rambling. Something about the setting sun's glow on her expression seemed to soften it to the point where Marcille found herself momentarily stunned. She blinked out of her stupor as Falin said, "Well, only if you want."

    There was a pause before her next words tumbled out, quieter than before. "I'd like it if you joined."

    Marcille joins a D&D club in college after being immediately swayed by the cute girl she sits next to in biology.

    Settled as the priest in a small town in the French countryside, Father Erik Cadieux lives a comfortable, if somewhat mundane life, until a woman seeks shelter from a storm one night and Christine Daae comes into his life.

    Going by a different name, concealing her identity from those who hunt for her, Christine finds herself fascinated by the mysterious masked priest. Despite the obstacles between them, Christine cannot help her growing affection for him, willing to defy God for what she wants.

    With the arrival of the antagonistic Bishop Desjardins, Father Erik's future becomes clouded and his devotion to God is challenged by his growing passion for the woman he's forbidden to love.

    Summary

    Loosely based on the 1990 Arthur Kopit play/miniseries but darker/sexier - mixing in a bit of Leroux/Kay.

    Begins when Christine sings at the bistro with the company. Takes a different turn. A whole lot of sexual tension, angst, lies, half truths... different takes on Philippe, Gerard and Raoul.

     

    Got back into the Phandom recently and fell in love all over again. This is my first fic. I hope you like it and want me to continue.

    Summary

    I watched Frith dial the number to Maxim’s office before taking the phone from him. It rang and rang, and I waited impatient and terrified. Finally I heard a click, and then, “Mrs de Winter.” Frank’s voice, dear loyal Frank.

    “What’s happened?” I asked, “Where is Maxim?”

    A pause. “I don’t think-,”

    Frank. Where is he?”

    Frank’s voice sounded tinny and far away when he answered, or maybe my ears had stopped working. “Gone, Mrs de Winter. He’s gone.”

    Rebecca’s boat and body were found; with it came an inquest, an investigation. Maxim confessed to his crime, then fled in the night.

    It’s just like a man, I thought furiously as I hung up the phone, to refuse to take responsibility for his actions and run from the consequences. Damn him, and damn Frank too; damn them all. I would not run.

    Summary

    Fanfic almost purely based on the 1990 version of Phantom by Charles Dance.

    As soon Erik died, Christine’s heart was broken, and she died too, but waked up on her bed in the day of her opening night at the opera, with the premiere of Gounod’s Faust. With a second chance, she aims to rectify past mistakes and improve the outcomes for everyone involved. Basically a retelling of the Yeston/Kopit miniseries 1990 Starring: Charles Dance as the Phantom, Teri Polo as Christine Daaé. (With fanarts and illustrations) That story has no intention to be historically accurate.

    Summary

    Her eyes were green, guarded and quiet. Every feature of her face was strong, her jaw, her nose – but her eyes… there was something within them, beneath the surface, something like reluctant curiosity. I noticed then a single red orchid – pinned to her lapel. Her eyebrow cocked slightly when she looked at me, my lips parting – and I wondered if she had felt the same chill I had when our skin had touched.

    Summary

    Her fingers brushed mine as she passed me the gloves, and I was shocked to find that her hand, somehow, was colder than my own. As I took the gloves from her I caught her gaze, and felt then with a sudden, chilling certainty--though I could not say how--that she knew exactly what I was.

    Grappling with her status as a newly-turned vampire, Mrs. de Winter hopes her marriage to Maxim can provide some security with regards to her "condition." But she quickly realizes she's out of her depth in society life—and life as a vampire—and finds herself turning to the one person she can trust for help.

    That is, provided Mrs. Danvers can keep her secret.
