❛  just being with you is enough ... you are enough.  ❜ (Christine & Erik)

erik froze. he was trying to bust himself with his work, pretend like he didn’t have feelings for her, because that was easier than accepting that she’d never have feelings for him. but her words…they were maybe the kindest thing anyone had ever told him. “christine…you can’t mean that.” no, not him, not the monster, the phantom of the opera. “you must have hit your head in the transport back to this world.” erik teased, hoping to lighten the mood despite his adamant denial. “but…thank you. that’s exceptionally kind of you to say.”

Christine: who else here thought Erik was my boyfriend?

Christine: Erik, put your hand down.

closed starter || erik destler and christine daae

erik hummed to himself, trying to tidy up to opera. there wasn’t much to clean, but he was worried about his home in the brief time he had away from it. and the charming girl he had met, just before being jettisoned away. the charming girl who had seemed to be in every dream he ever had, even before he had met her, who’s voice he simply could not get out of his head.

it confused him, a little. he couldn’t comprehend the feeling stirring in his chest for someone he hadn’t known long. but he wanted to find her again, he wanted answers.

and as if the universe were answering a call, he heard the door of the theatre open. erik, uncharacteristically enthusiastic to greet the unexpected guest. “you came back.” his voice surprised and delighted all at once. what was he even saying? he cleared his throat and tried to compose himself. “i-i mean, you’re back, from whatever world we were all transported to. i’m glad you’re safely returned.” he tried recovering, though really, he was surprised she had returned to the opera house at all. he never expected good things to last.

Erik: I’m very upset and there is nothing you can do to make me feel better.

Nadir:

Erik: No.

Nadir:

Erik: Don’t.

Nadir: *brings Christine into the room*

Erik, softly and fighting a smile: Fuck

Shipping wars are so dumb I propose we all just love our sillies and share hcs and aus about them I’ll go first 🫶

Christine loves to read and Raoul encourages it, buying her whatever books she wants or has even thought of wanting :} He loves to hear her talk about the characters and where the plot is at in the book!!! Also since their reunion Raoul has forgotten a lot of the violin lessons her father gave him, so she’s begun to teach him again <3

Erik absolutely LOVES Raoul’s bed because of how comfy and big it is, the first time he laid in it he didn’t want to get up since he never usually got the pleasure of a big comfy bed <3 Also Raoul likes his hair being touched and Erik loves how soft + curly it is :}

Also I have some rerik aus!!! A siren + pirate one in which Erik is a curious siren and Raoul is a pirate captain :} Another is a sheriff + outlaw where Raoul is a sheriff and Erik is an outlaw!! The last one is my vampire + vampire hunter au where Erik is a mysterious vampire haunting the opera and Raoul is a vampire hunter brought in to get rid of him… in all of the aus they kiss ofc

Also Raoul’s the little spoon in all ships involving him because he’s just so silly billy !!!!

“What if she doesn’t like me?” He was surprised to find just how concerned he was about this.

“She will, I think. Maybe not at first. But she’ll come around, I’m sure.”

“She’s twenty?”

“Yes, almost. Here, there’s a photo of her up there—just there on the shelf—“

Gustave gestured to a little framed photo up on the shelf in his room. Erik stood and picked it up, looking at it.

“That was taken on my last trip to see her, earlier this year.”

Erik brought it up to the light to peer at it. Christine was smiling at the camera, her dark hair in cascading curls, her face pretty and delicate. His eyes swept over her form, youthful but most definitely not a child. He tilted the photo slightly and caught sight of his own face—or rather, of the mask that covered all but his mouth—reflected in the glass. This was a bad idea. He placed the photograph back on the shelf. He should tell Gustave that he couldn’t, that he was wrong, that he could provide for the girl without having to marry her, but when he opened his mouth all that came out was—

“Are we not to court first?”

Gustave’s brow furrowed.

“I said I wanted her married, not courted.”

Erik’s brows raised under his mask.

“What I would like most of all is to see her married,” he continued. “But the doctor says—well, it would have to be very soon.”

Erik gave a curt nod.

“I’ll write to her and let know that you’re coming,” Gustave added. “You’ll fetch her from university, bring her back, you’ll get married in a church, and I can rest in peace knowing she’ll be okay.”

Erik’s head was swimming. He was getting married. It was ridiculous. He was terrified that she might say no but equally terrified that she would say yes. But, he supposed, when it came down to it, her say didn’t really matter. She had no other viable choice.

Give👏me👏more👏weird👏Christines👏

Recently stumbled upon the fanfic « La Mue » (and it’s sequel) by Aphaea21 on Ao3 and it reminded me how much I love poto fanfics where Christine is just as (if not more) obsessive as Erik is. If you haven’t read it yet STOP READING THIS RIGHT NOW AND GO they have a delightful dynamic, very Morticia and Gomez Addams. ANYWAY, I’m now starved for more obsessive Christine fanfics, I would love any recommendations if you guys have some :D (Or just good phanfic in general, I feel like I ve read the entirety of ao3 and fanfic.net)
