I adored this story. Your situational humor and poignant moments are so well thought out. Every stitch of dialogue is impeccable.
The development of Mia was such a joy to witness. There were certainly a lot of giggles and tears while watching this little family change and evolve as they dealt with the eccentricities of Erik as the patriarch of the family.
You've seemed to master the art of modernizing the characters while maintaining their original essence.
Brava.

This chapter has all the feels.

Seriously, how is everything you write so good?

Super cute story! I take that since this is modern times that Eric and Christine took precautions not to have any more children.

this is so beautiful and im so emotional thank you for this i love mia so much i love them all so much im

I revisit this fic very often, maybe a few times a month when I need a reason to smile. I love the idea of Erik having a loving family and a daughter. He is so tender and caring of her, a push over father but still strict when he needs to be. Erik as a dad melts my head constantly.

It has been seven years since you've written your last chapter, so I'm not sure you'll see this, but I must say that I LOVED your story. I've read it all in one sitting and read in awe at how you capture the characters. I loved how you didn't make Erik al lovy-dovy (is that the correct spelling?), but kept his darker side, although I sometimes sighed when he was so posessive of Mia. I confess I was really rooting for Will, haha. But I understand where Eriks ideas are coming from.
Now, I'm going to check out your profile for other stories, because you're an amazing writer!

Bravo Erik! bravo! an impressive man as always! Woodlock deserves to eat those words! ha! ur a wondeful writer. i love your phantom!

What a sweet story! I enjoyed it immensely! I always liked your Erik, but it's a rare environment for him- almost normal life. But still he's the same Erik, that we know. I guess it's not easy to write a story with such setting for him. Because he in no way fits in it. Though you could make it believable.
I really liked Mia. All of your characters had their own personality, their own voice.

Loved your writing style too. Very good dialogues, very smart details describing Erik's character. I really love the way he talks here. His last conversation with Will brought me to hysteria :-)) Thank you for this little sweet journey :-)

Um, for Rachmaninoff it's "Prelude in C Sharp Minor & G Minor", not "Prelude in A Sharp".

(grimaces)
Damiana? Seriously?
I'd have gone with Amelia Rose, considering her nickname is Mia...

This was lovely! Bravo!

Hey there, I read this fic awhile back and I loved it because daddy Erik is too precious. Seeing your comment on Tumblr about the ultrasound had me cracking up and reminded me to leave a review on this fic, because it deserves it.

I remember loving Erik's relationship with his daughter and the little bits you had of the Persian thrown in there as well. Oh, especially when Mia (that was her name, right?) got herself a little male friend and over-protective Opera Ghost kicks in. Mia was such a good character and I could totally see her being the child of Erik and Christine with a little bit of her own spunk thrown in.

Anyways, great job, and I hope this review balances out that other one.

Okay. I stopped reading at when Christine went for her scan. It's the late 1800s my dear. None of that existed. Not even electricity.

Absolutely loved it! The teacher bit made me laugh so hard :) xx
