I WAKE UP BECAUSE Coffee NOT BECAUSE OF WORK

[ashadeintheshade]

Hey! Do you happen to have a masterlist of all your fics?

I do! But it never seems to load on Tumblr mobile? So here’s the list, copied and pasted, and I’ll edit/link to this post going forward. (fwiw, there are a lot of prompts here that aren’t on my FFN/AO3 accounts.)

Last updated April 11, 2024

My author accounts: AO3 | FFN 

Multichapter Fics

Erik x Christine

Red Death Riding (in progress, rated M): An ambush gone awry strands Christine Daaé with one of the most notorious highwaymen of 18th-century France.

Out of the Woods (FFN | AO3 | complete, rated T): When a canoeing mishap leaves Christine stranded, she’s forced into the wilderness for help—only to find a haunting stranger who does not want to be found. 

Love Is a Tired Symphony (ongoing, rated T): A collection of E/C vignettes culled from Tumblr writing prompts. Mostly fluff, some angst.

Unsung (FFN | AO3 | complete, rated M): Christine Daaé has spent eight months imagining what she might say to the Opera Ghost if she ever saw him again. Now he is here in her flat, quite by accident, and the fact of the matter is that she can no longer speak. 

Restoration (FFN | AO3 | complete for now, rated T): He did not expect to meet his counterpoint on a house call, and he is shaken. Modern AU. Fourshot. 

Old Haunts (complete for now, rated Explicit): Christine longs for escape from the evening’s rehearsal. A familiar figure pulls her into the walls of the opera house and offers her just that. Threeshot. 

The Ivory Tower (indefinite hiatus, rated M): There are things more dangerous than accepting lessons from a dark stranger in a bell tower, things that can destroy a man’s face and his life—and Christine Daaé is soon to become intimately acquainted with them. Modern AU.

Erik x OC

By Starlight (complete, rated T): It’s her first masked ball at the Opera, and it may very well be her last when she accidentally acquires one of the Opera Ghost’s personal effects. Leroux-ish, post-canon. 

Oneshots

Erik x Christine

Midnight on the Loggia (rated T): It was a year of new beginnings for Christine: a year of angels found and fallen, and of men redeemed. Fluff. 

Budding Flame (rated Explicit): She will chase away the shadows from their marriage and their bed. 

Turnabout (rated Explicit): Erik has evaded Christine’s touch for two weeks now, and she will not stand for it any longer. Leroux AU. Rated Explicit.

Emancipation (rated T): Christine’s angel of music wants her to join him in a sensuous world of music and darkness. Her managers want her back on stage. Her handsome childhood friend wants to court her. But what does *she* want? (Some kissing may be required to find out.) ALW Phantom, set just after Christine’s first visit to the underground lair. 

Erik x OC

The Phantom and the Fawn (rated M): The fates have conspired to separate Erik from his love at his time of greatest need—and by gods, he will finally have her if it kills him. A “bonus scene” from By Starlight. 

Other

Wedding-Night Reprise [FFN | AO3] (Raoul x Christine | rated Explicit): Nightfall drives the newlyweds to bed a second time. This time, though, will be different.

Ghost Resurrected [FFN | AO3] (Erik x the Persian | rated T): It finally hit him, days after he watched that dark and rail-thin figure step into a cab bound for the Opera: Erik fully expected to die. 

The Red Scarf (Raoul x Christine | rated Explicit): It is isolating and wearying, this new life as a vicomtesse—but Christine’s efforts have not gone unnoticed. 

Kindred Strangers (Christine x the Persian | rated K+): It was only fitting that the pair of gentle expatriates should gravitate toward each other. It was more a question of what their conviction could withstand.

All Vows Chapter 37: Sempre Libera

"She even thought she’d heard a “brava” of a familiar voice, the voices of the dead."

All Vows Chapter 37: Sempre Libera is now live.

This one has a doozy of a cliffhanger.

City of Angels, Chapter 22

My favorite quote from this chapter would be a huge spoiler, so I’ll include this instead:

“Erik,” she said.

Riveting, right?

“Ne me touchez pas”

Chag Pesach Sameach! Starting next week, During the 40 days of the Omer between Pesach and Shavuot, I’ll be doing 40 days of POTO content. Mostly things that live rent free in my head. It could be gifs of boots, cosplay WIPs or shoots I haven’t posted, fanfic, art, etc.

Today I can’t stop thinking about how Erik has “DONT TOUCH ME” embroidered in gold thread on his Red Death cape.

Your honor, my client is guilty as hell but he looked great doing it.

Follow the POTOMER tag for the content!
