I still love this story, such a beautiful concept. I only wish we could also hear from Christine in the epilogue.

I'm just pleased as punch with this creative, unique and fascinating tale! You put a lot of love into this story and it shows.
Super ingenious concepts here, it's obvious that you were blessed with the inspiration bug while you produced this.
The POV for the characters was written well, you changed the tone and style of wording so it read like that character, which made it more convincing. Erik sounded like Erik and Christine sounded like Christine. That's not easy for some people.

As with your other works, I was sad to come to an end, but a lovely end it did indeed have!

You give him a part of your soul, but claim you don't love him? Girl, you're in denial.

Oh! I love how you revamped and modernized the classic Leroux ending, but with a fantastic high-tech, supernatural twist!

Love the idea of the grasshoppers being tiny, precise explosives. And the cleansing cycle for the torture chamber (that certainly would be a job to clean out now that I think of it.)

I love this Erik, despite being a little unhinged, he's actually fairly reasonable and FUNNY, so so so funny.

"I rescind my permission. I call back what it mine." Wow, I have serious goosebumps now.

Ohhhh. I love this image of the ring literally falling apart and dissolving as a result of Christine's betrayal. She really doesn't know when to say no, does she? Girl needs to start thinking for herself.

I'm also really loving all of these back and forth dream-hallucination-memory time jumps that you are crafting. I don't know why it's taken me so long to read this story, but I'm just loving every word of it so far!

"Having a conversation with the Devil is bad enough, you want to bring him a sandwich?"
Some of these moments are so great, I can't help but giggle.

I have not idea where you came up with this brilliant idea for I'm 7 chapters in, but so far I am so hooked.
I'm loving the combination of lore/phantom/and mental institution.

Wow! This story is amazing! And i love how you narrated it!

The way they can see and live within each other but also separated is painfully beautiful!

Oh I'm loving it so much! It gives me goosebumps!

I'm re-reading this story and enjoying it as much as the first time!

Loving this. Love how you’re using the poem for this. I feel it will work amazingly well.

This was such an interesting take on the Phantom story. I love how you wove your own mythology and magic into the story.

The Erlking is such a unique sort of character and you do a great job making him creepy and unsettling.

Chtustine has such a sense of warmth and sincerity about her. I really like how you had her grow into her relationship with Erik.

Erik is rather satisfying here. You've given him a lot of depth and personality.

Thank you for sharing this story!
