It's summer festival season and PHANTOM is the biggest hard rock band on Earth. Mystery surrounds the anonymous lead singer who writes every song but performs onstage only in silhouette.

All kinds of AU… and yet. Leroux/ALW

Summary
"She felt the strong impulse to look beneath his mask. She wanted to know who he truly was, and seeing only half his face felt... unsatisfying. After last night, when he had brought her here and shown her his "Music of the Night," the mask felt misplaced. As if it upheld a distance that was no longer needed. But she resisted that urge."
What if Christine hadn’t torn off the mask?
This story begins after the events of “Music of the Night” and offers a fix-it take on the original tale. Christine and Erik slowly begin to understand each other outside the shadows of the opera house. Their relationship develops step by step, shaped by trust, conflict, and growing affection. Alongside them, other key figures—Raoul, Meg, Madame Giry, Nadir, and Darius—play important roles as they each navigate the changes brought by Christine’s choice.
A character-driven exploration of love, redemption, and second chances.Smut can be skipped, I'll put it in the chapter notes.
COMPLETED
