I kind of have to criticize your little note at the top lol I think instead of saying that "we will all need some chocolate after this one" at the end of reading i though to myself rather than chocolate, I need a cigarette lmao

Very emotional chapter especially for Christien

After the hole Raoul phone call i could kind of see where it was going but i still absolutely loved every word, i especially love how you literally paint pictures in my head of what is happening,
but what i love most is how you portrayed Eric's emotions/reactions (in my opinion heavily referencing karimloo's heavy emotions and he is my favorite phantom for that very reason,

I have been in love with the phantom of the opera since I was young and this new more modern extremely detailed adaptation is absolutely amazing! And i can't get enough, when I first clicked on the link to this story I wasn't expecting much, but I was clearly unprepared for what I was about to read. Please don't stop! Keep going with this story i need to see how this story ends

Stars, this is PERFECT! Why is this not a published work, it's definitely marketable! So real, so raw, the story we love but so relatably modern and uniquely presented, a thriller and a drama, and yet all still perfectly balanced, seamless, captivating and evocative! Seriously, if you ever decide to publish this, please drop me a message, I want to buy a copy! You're insanely talented, this was an almost overwhelming experience, several times I had to put it down and take a break because it was so intense, other times I drew it out because I couldn't bear to see it end - and yet the way it ended was so perfect, promising more drama and thrills in their future as fire for the imagination, but still coming together in the perfect, fulfilling happy ending for such a tale. Thank you for your hard work! Seriously, consider publishing this!

Oh. My. Stars! I'm overwhelmed! I would have left reviews on previous chapters so far to express my delight, but I could scarcely breath, much less type! All I could do upon reaching the end of a chapter was paw desperately at the "next" button! Lol, anyway, this is just a non-stop thrill ride! I really cannot put it down! I'm going to dive back in now, but while I had surfaced, I just had to let you know that I'm eyeball deep in obsession with this read! So good! Now then, onward!

Oh, I am deeply intrigued! What a fantastic start, I just know I am going to enjoy this immensely!

(yes, I'm jumping a bit around)
Loving this chapter so much! And Meg's interest in Nadir. I think it might have been reading this phic that made me ship them.

Such. A. Great. Kiss!
And I simply love the whole scene with the Daroga!

Reading this when you have a sprained ankle is torture. Why can't I have an Erik to help me heal?
Love your writing.

This is one of the best Phantom fics I've ever read! Please write more and finish your other stories please!

Ahhh, I finally got back into my FFN account! I just wanted to leave a quick little note to say I read this phic back in August while my family was at the beach and I was glued to the couch for like, two days reading the whole thing. I keep coming back to it over and over again because I just adore this version of Erik and Christine where they both have such vulnerabilities that they expose to each other. I also love their fights. lol This story wouldn't be the same without that element.

That's was so incredibly beautiful you're amazing

589 reviews are SO not enough for this work. really, it was amazing.

there was no slowburn here, it was all so immediate and passionate, but you pulled it out perfectly, and thats a difficult task, in my opinion. and then, we have that they are already... not together, but... well, aware of their feelings? or something like that, and still, i couldnt leave the fic. i find that sometimes, some stories suddenly dont have any plot, or just become boring when we see that EC are coming together. but not here! this was absolute perfection. i needed to keep reading. in fact, just a few days i re read my favorite scenes.
thanks for sharing such a good work!

This is so, so good
