A Mirror And A Rose [ Wednesday December 16th 2009 time: 7:46 ] operagasm [missculleniwish] Title: A Mirror And A Rose Rating: PG-13 Pairing: Erik(Phantom)/Christine Genre: Romance, Humor, Randomness, General Version: Mostly ALW and Kay Summary: Teenagers are always so curious when a random mirror shows up in their room and Elizabeth is no exception. Sure it doesn't hurt that she loves The Phantom of the Opera and that the mirror looks just like Christine's. Bonus points, right? Right. Even more bonus points when the mirror still, somehow, leads to the Phantom's lair where the imfamous and smexy man in black sits. One problem though, phangirls can never keep their mouths shut. Suddenly poor Erik is surrounded by a high school marching band making perverted jokes and the females lusting after him. Chaos, of course, shall ensue along with a healthy dose of Raoul(Fop) bashing. Notes: This is, actually, finished and has been for awhile. Phangirls and Erik are always so much fun to throw into a room together. "The Phantom of the Opera is there, inside my mind." comment ♥ Edit Entry ♥ Add Entry
