Hahah, poor Erik really gets the wrong impression easily. Oh, such drama he can create, but it isn't surprising that he thinks his wonderful life might end abruptly. To have his compositions published and being told he's going to be a father, all in one day! It's good Christine didn't reveal both things at the same time because he would definitely have had a heart attack right there!

This was such a great post-musical story, exactly what should've happened (not LND). I loved it!

I like that transitioning is proving to be difficult for Erik and that he's stubborn about it. Anything else would be too out of character.
Good thing he has a wife to get him a job and a house. Haha!

Oh, I always love a good and kind Daroga! He must have had quite a shock seeing Christine there.

Such a beautiful wedding and wedding night!

Hahah, I can just imagine Erik intimidating poor Meg!

I feel so sad for Erik, but I understand him. It must feel easier to shut down on every emotion instead of feeling so many things at once. And he has seen how fate can steal away what you treasure the most. Good thing Christine was there to comfort him.

I love how you manage with ease to make Raoul a good, not threatening presence in their lives. So well done! (Sorry for spamming you with reviews, but you deserve each one because this story is amazing)

Yes! Thank god that they spoke to each other instead of dancing around it forever.

So many feels!

Did ALW just shamelessly copy this first meeting you've written and put it in his godawful LND? The fainting, carrying her and reaching out to touch her, drawing back when she stirs... Damn, ALW could at least have asked for permission. Hahah.

How I hate that Erik reacted to her with such anger. But it is so very canon for him, isn't it?

Christine singing in memory of Erik was awfully sad and when Erik heard it... let them find each other!

Beautiful way of ending their engagement without making Raoul a bad guy.

You wicked author! "DeBecque" means "The Beast" en francais! ;-)
Anyway, I do love this story and have enjoyed it everytime I've read it. You do such a nice of portraying Raoul as well. I do feel bad for him, but I admire the grace and class he's shown through all this. However, unless I'm mistaken, I think you also gave Raoul a happy ending? Well, I'll know for sure before the story's end (*sniff!*).

Lovingly detailed, well done.

PLEEEAAAASSSEEE post the "enhanced" version for this chapter! I am dying.

Such a lovely story :)
