    Summary

    “Would you still love me if I was... different?”

    “You’re growing up, Jinx. It’s natural to change,” He watched her scrunch her nose. “You’re my daughter, I’ll always love you.”

    “And what if I don’t want to be that anymore? What if I’m not that?”

    Summary

    His body didn’t twitch like it had the first time. The real time.

    Luigi Lucheni, anarchist, watched as blood dripped down from his hand. Her blood. He swung his body in an attempt to see where the blood would land, but everything was so dark he wasn’t even sure there was a ground underneath him anymore.

    He waited for the judge to say something. He waited to her the verdict. But there was only silence.

    Summary

    "How dare you?!" All those awful feeling were bubbling up his throat now and burning on his tongue and in his lungs and he stopped trying to hide them because what was the point anymore. "How dare you come along and save me? How dare you come along with your soft words and your kindness and honesty? Was that all a charade? Making me think that someone could possibly care about me? That you cared about me? I could have accept death when I arrived here, and then you had to come along and you..."

    He had to stop, panting to catch his breath and tears burnt hot on his cheeks.

    "How dare you make me want to live?"

    Summary

    Wolfgang Mozart has just been re-hired as a violinist in the Opera Garnier in light of his father's death, after being fired for being to scandalous and unruly. In older, happier times Wolfgang used to creep back to a old, forgotten dressing room to play and compose in secret, but now when he returns he finds a fortepiano in the middle of the room, and a voice... He swears he can he a voice from behind he antique mirror.

    A retelling of The Phantom of the Opera mostly inspired by Mozart L’Opéra Rock, with other influences drawn from the BUCK-TICK album Darker Than Darkness -style 93-, and the lives of various historical figures. It’s not necessary to be at all familiar with Mozart L’Opéra Rock or any of the real life versions of those characters to understand or enjoy this story.

    Summary

    "Well, what do we have here?" The man had to bend considerably to fit through the doorway of the carriage, neck bending harshly against the ceiling as he towered over Raoul. "Such a pretty little thing all alone so late at night. Some little lord? Surely nothing more important with no one here to protect you-"

    "A Vicomte, thank you very much. And I need no one's protection other than my own," Raoul was retorting before he could stop himself.

    "Someone with some spirit. How... refreshing. Well, little Vicomte. What do you have for me?"

    (Alternate title: 5 times Erik robbed Raoul's carriage, and 1 time he got more than he intended to steal.)

    Summary

    Even with the last warm rays of the sun streaming in, the room still seemed so dark. It suited her, though. I'd never seen her in anything other than black or dark blue. It did also make her seem all the more imposing.

    I was aware that she may have still been trying to toy with me but... something in what she had said to me about her and Rebecca seemed genuine. And Maxim must have kept her on for a reason. Clearly she must be good at her job. It seemed pretty foolish now that I had never asked for her to go over how the household worked with me. I just had wanted to seem as though I already knew, so she wouldn't think me more of a naive little girl than she already did.

    "Have you grown so tired of intruding in Rebecca's rooms you've had to intrude in my own now?"

    Summary

    "Be still, so I do not hurt you. I'm afraid I may startle you, but you should have no fear of me..."

    The body swung a little violently to the side, as if it had over-estimated the amount of force it would need to sit up, and it rocked back and forth for a moment before going completely still. The mannequin, it... she... Christine?

    "You did make me after all."

    Summary

    "Ladies and gentlemen, the performance will continue in ten minutes' time when the role of the Countess will be sung by Miss Christine Daaé." He was panting, struggling to catch his breath. He must have run all the way down from his box. "In the meantime, ladies and gentlemen, we shall be giving you the ballet from... Act three of tonight's opera!"

    He could do this. He'd danced the Dance of the Country Nymphs so many times by now. Just put on a smile and convince the audience that everything is fine. Let them have something to enjoy.

    Summary

    When the boy turned around to stare at the mirror he tilted his head as if he hadn't even noticed it had been there before. His fingers seemed to twitch as if wanting to reach out before he started taking tentative steps towards the mirror.

    Christine's pretty pink lipstick twinkled against the glass.

    Summary

    “It’s alright,” Mozart all but cooed at him. “It feels like a lot the first time, I know, but you’re doing so well. You’re being so good, so good for me”

    Salieri's elbows squeezed down over his head as he felt his eyes prickle at the soft words of praise. Something inside him cried out at the words and started to curl itself around his thoughts. That something inside so desperately wanted to keep hearing those words. He wanted to believe they were true.

    Summary

    “Easy, Carter. I’ve got you,” Benton pressed his forehead against the back of John’s hair and pulled his thigh up higher, his other hand steady on John’s hip.

    The warm water from the shower only added an extra sensation on his skin.

    Summary

    "Did you...? I uh... You know there was this one person, that I liked, that I still like... Nothing ever happened, I didn't even ever tell them I liked them that way, and I was pretty definitely sure they wouldn't like me that way...

    "And it's been like, a while since I've even... I wasn't even sure if he'd- they'd remember me, or care, and I... I'm sorry I'm rambling... But...

    "You know... You have to know... Oh god I might be more embarrassed if you didn't notice."

    Summary

    My god he’s beautiful. I could look at him and never tire of it. If I were holding him in my arms for every night I have left on this Earth I think I’d be…

    I’d be content.

     Content. A word he didn’t think he’d ever reach.

    He felt there was a rushing past his ears but the curtains stayed still and the rush turned to a pulsing beat. His hands gripped the book a little tighter.

    Oh fuck, I’m in love with him.

    Summary

    Silk covered hands tightened around his own. Those gloves had been a gift from Raoul. After feeling the quality of the fabric of Erik's own gloves he'd been so appalled at the quality he all but demanded that he'd buy Erik a new pair and immediately discovered that he liked buying things for Erik. He'd become too fond with the idea of spoiling him. But regardless, those hands tightened and he looked up at Erik to find his face equally as flushed as his own.

    "Is that... too much? What do you think?" Raoul asked tentatively, suddenly feeling like the floating feeling was twisted in on itself and suffocating him.

    Erik sucked in a shuddering breath. "I think..." He seemed to remember himself, smoothing a hand down over his wig. "I think, dear boy, that you should go and stand in front of the mirror."

    Summary

    He'd done it. He'd finally cracked and done it.

    Grantaire had kissed Enjolras.

    He couldn't even remember moving forwards. He remembered what happened once he did, though. How could he not? Enjolras' lips had been so soft against his own. Soft, but unmoving.

    What had he been thinking?

    Summary

    Everything runs red. Red, our desire and our love now running and trodden through in the gutter, between the cobblestones. Red, the flag is torn to shreds. Red, the blood sweeps through our waistcoats. Red, Enjorlas topples lifelessly over the barricade. Once so full of life, glory and determination never leaving his eyes as his hair bounced in the wind and his smile was wild and inspired every one of us. Enjorlas, my dear friend... my friend... my friends...

    My fingers clutch at the sheets and pull them to my chest, against my skin and ribs and my heart beating out of my chest. And I curl in on myself. My legs thrash. The sheets are too white, too clean. Everything is too clean. Too clean and too soft.
