Added DiffLines:

* Pairing: Meg/Christine
* Synopsis: It’s been almost a year since young Christine Daaé lost her father, and now that it’s finally spring, Meg has a surprise for her. (oneshot)
* Comments: A beautifully sweet one-shot with the unique premise that Meg is older than Christine here, and written artfully without descending into purple prose, tied neatly with the classic romantic themes of flowers - specifically Paris daisies - and shooting stars.

* Status: Complete
* Synopsis: A Halloween oneshot for a-partofthenarrative's POTO 13 Nights of Halloween. Erik's obsession with Christine is all-consuming
* Comments: An absolutely brilliant horror story in which the twist ending actually works, and makes you go back to check all the other details and foreshadowing. The reveal of who the monster is in the story is so effective that previous hints and their nature can also be read as simply being in-character.

* Synopsis: When Erik decides to keep Christine underground, things don't go as he expected.
* Comments: Musical-verse. Erik finds himself in a creative Groundhog Day loop where all his attempts to keep Christine for herself end in her death, and only breaks his cycle by following the canon conclusion. Special mention goes to Christine being unexpectedly closer to her book characterization in being constantly defiant to Erik's face, refusing to give up her love for Raoul, and searching to escape even if it means her death. The endless deaths can be read as serious horror or BlackComedy, but it doesn't diminish the excellent story.

* Recommended by: Tropers/TheWildWestPyro
* Status: Complete
* Synopsis: Christine has difficulty reaching her angel, though he is just beyond the door...Confused? Well, that would make sense, as nothing is for certain in this tale.
* Comments: A genuinely scary AU where Christine is insane and residing in an asylum while remaining completely in-character. Features not only a brilliant reveal but a very effective twist ending.



* Comments: Meg is given wonderful characterization in this fic; a fan of Gothic novels that sees their stories paralleling her own experience with the Ghost, and an absolute ray of sunshine that brings Erik out of his lonely dark and into happiness and warmth with her. Despite the Soulmate AU, it's an extremely compelling look at their characters and a relationship they could have, and there's no overemphasis on the Soulmate marks at all.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6979793/1/ The Genetic Opera Ghost]]'' by Caella di Mekio
* Recommended by: Theatre_Maven_3695
* Status: Complete
* Crossover with: ''Film/RepoTheGeneticOpera''
* Synopsis: Basically Repo's storyline with Phantom characters (and some of ''Theatre/LoveNeverDies'' as well, (mostly the existence of Gustave, who is still ten and still Erik's (here, analogous to Rotti Largo) son. There is also two OCs (Charlotte de Chagny, analogous to Shilo Wallace, who is the daughter of Christine and Raoul, so yeah...AU there; and (well, half OC) Gerard Carriere (everyone's favourite Graverobber, but baptized!)
* Comments: Well worth a look if you are into both Repo and POTO, as I am! The author even retools the lyrics of Repo! to fit the story :-)

''[[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/a-ghost-on-the-roof/list?title_no=381839&page=1 A Ghost on the Roof]]'' by Klaus Scrimshaw
* Recommended by: Tropers/AdelePotter
* Status: Ongoing
* Synopsis: When a young soprano hears a voice on the Paris opera house’s roof, strange events upset the ballerinas’ everyday life. Modern retelling of the Phantom of the Opera.
* Parings: Too early to tell, but Raoul/Christine and Erik/Christine have both been hinted at.
* Comments: This is a webcomic adaptation of the novel, and it is marvelous. Not only is the art and attention to detail fantastic, but the author has reimagined canon in unique and unusual ways. It's still definitely the same story, but with enough twists and turns to keep readers guessing. So far, it's a bit LighterAndSofter than canon, but the author has hinted at darker things to come.

''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/27761521/chapters/67956829 Battered Dove]]'' by Battydings
* Recommended by: Tropers/AdelePotter
* Status: Ongoing
* Pairing: Erik/Christine
* Synopsis: Erik meets Christine under very unique circumstances. Creepy, dark, romantic vibes. An attempt at seeing how dark we can go before finding the light. [A modern, book-based AU in which Christine is a homeless drug addict who sings for spare change, and Erik is quickly obsessed.]
* Comments: This fic is ''extremely'' dark, so please be wary; drug addiction is at the core of the story, and there are also themes of rape, kidnapping, murder, and abuse. However, if that doesn't put you off, it comes highly recommended. The author's characterization of Erik is marvelously monstrous and human at the same time, and they paint a heartbreakingly sympathetic portrait of Christine. Their relationship is as unhealthy as ever, but deeply intriguing. I also really love their take on the modern Daroga and Madame Giry.
