This was the BEST POTO story I have read so far. I love what you have done with all the characters here. Some of the most memorable character interactions (besides the glorious E\C interactions of course) were with Erik and Nadir and Erik and Madame Giry. Erik is such a complex character and you write him effortlessly. I can’t wait to read this one again!

I just stumbed upon this story, and am loving it so far! I cannot wait to read further.

Just finished this also in like 2 days! So good! It’s crazy to me that you began writing this 15 years ago, it’s a good one!

I read your entire fic in 2 days, even staying up much later than I should. It is brilliant. I know you finished it many years agi, but I do hope you continued your writing.

just started reading while my 3yo watches Pets 2. Im crying and he said "Mummy, the tiger will be okay. You know that. weve seen it before:

Could not put it down. I hope you know I skipped work today just to finish reading it. Loved it!

2nd time reading through this one and its still as great. I love Erik and Christine and Raouls character development, and Emily is one of the most memorable ocs in a fic that ive come across.

Earlier on I mentioned a wish for a wake up call for Erik, amd you certainly delivered! Erik just needed a good slap in the face (not necessarily literally tho lol)

oh shit

Ohhh Erik, I think you're gonna warm up to a baby soon enough

Idk, I'm getting a bit worried for Erik now bc so far it seems like he's shown no remorse for his actions, like in the beginning he was changing and learning from his mistakes but now he constantly lies to Christine's face, and even after she told him no more murders he didn't listen. this is stressing me out. maybe he'll chsnge but I'm really hoping Christine does something later on to wake him tf up. I will keep reading

UGhhhhh for some reasons I just HATE Emily, she's so...I don't know how to put it but she's just annoying. And for some other reasons I just couldn't blame Christine for doing this, maybe it's because of my love for her...Anyway what I'm trying to say is that I can understand why she goes back to Raoul, and why she lied to him about the child, and considering what has happened between EC and her Catholic background, I can totally see her motives and I say if I was in her place I might do the same things as she did...

But as always I love this story, this is my second time reading it, it's just THAT good. And my fav is the previous chapter and this chapter. Yes, I love the characters but I kiiindaaa wanna see them go through some...suffering...Yeah I'm a bad person aren't I QAQ.

I just read this and I thought it was well-written and beautiful. I absolutely loved it the whole way through, and it was so powerful and moving. Thank you.

Jean is a good man. Like the Liam neelson comparison

I'm disappointed that Eric once again murdered a person. I realise that once upon a different time he drowned in the lake, "Phillipe".
