Thanks to @deeznutsthethrid for letting me use your incredible art <3

Rating: E

Chapter Word Count: 15,580

Summary: Trapped in the torture chamber, Raoul and the Persian are forced to listen to what happens between Erik and a desperate Christine in the room outside. The experience leads to a shocking and unexpected outcome.

Companion piece/sequel to What Do You Offer? by @sloanedestler which I highly encourage everyone to read before reading this, as they take place simultaneously and i refer back to it several times. You can find that here:

Basically, my piece is what Christine sees when she looks through the window, what led to it, and what happens next.

PREVIEW

Both Raoul de Chagny and Inspector Ledoux were sprawled on the floor of the mirrored chamber, hardly sensible of anything except relief as the blinding light suddenly disappeared, casting the two men into semi-darkness.

And yet for Raoul there was perhaps a greater torture, for there was enough sense left in his mind that he understood; the simultaneous cessation of both the blazing heat and of the monster's impatient urging in the room outside the mirror chamber wherein Raoul had been roasting alive could only mean one thing: that Christine—his poor, darling Christine—had at last succumbed to that vile monster's will.

He could not bear to think of it. What was the sense in living if he could not save his betrothed from such a terrible fate?

Raoul let out a tormented groan and Ledoux watched on in sympathy as the young Vicomte curled in on himself with the agony of his heart. He felt wretched for the brave lad, whom he had tried—alas, in vain!—to help.

The silence continued for a few moments during which the considerable heat still trapped in the room continued to smother them, radiating from the mirrors. Ledoux did not like this silence; it seemed, he thought, to bode very ill.

I want to see erik and raoul being rivals, but instead of christine, they are rivals for nadir.....

christine just watches and enjoys it

Okay, so @forthegothicheroine prompted me for a POTO noir!AU, but Tumblr has been an absolute dick about deleting messages when I try to save them to drafts, so I lost my answer for a while. But, anyway, here ya go:

Okay, so Christine as a club singer with operatic ambitions is aggressively cliche, but there we go.

Raoul is a sailor newly returned from the WWII, checking up on his childhood friend Christine.

Erik is a mob enforcer (I mean, the dude loves torturing and killing people, he might as well make a career out of it), who is obsessed with Christine. He gives her voice lessons, but always insists on doing it from behind a curtain.

When Raoul and Christine start spending time together, Erik becomes intensely jealous. He decides that Raoul is a threat and tries to kill him. Raoul barely survives. 

Nadir is a private detective hired by Philippe, a successful lawyer, to be a bodyguard for his little brother. It’s a difficult job, since Raoul is insistent on protecting Christine and finding out what’s going on, ignoring any danger.

Meanwhile, Christine realizes that she’s being stalked, and Erik attempts to kidnap her. So, she ends up teaming up with Daroga and Raoul to stop him.

And, yes, I’m Daraoulga trash, so Raoul and Daroga fall in love.

Carlotta and Sorelli are a singer and dancer, respectively at the club. Carlotta starts out jealous and catty towards Christine, while Sorellis is just aloof. Eventually the two of them step up to protect her from Erik.

Madame Giry is a snitch for Erik, in exchange for his promise he can help her daughter, Meg, become a Broadway star.

Moncharmin and Richard are the owners of the club and are Tired.

What are your thoughts on the ship daraoulga (daroga/raoul)?

BROTP: Raoul and Daroga may not be a winning team, but you can bet they’re sure gonna try! They share one braincell, but Daroga hogs it most of the time.

I SHIP IT: I do! Not intensely, but I can get on board.

Would read a fic about it/reads fics about it: They’re not my go-to by any means, but anything where Raoul is involved is good for me. And I see Daroga as kind of a father (daddy…) figure, which meshes well with what my vision of Raoul’s character needs/wants.

We need more of it: I would love to see some more Raoul/Daroga art! They’re not a rarepair, but I’ve seen many more fics than art of the two.

Thanks for asking, anon! 💖
