AN ART! Balcony Duet art from Staminaoverlook
A gorgeous colored full composition by @staminaoverlook! A stunning rendering of a scene from Balcony Duet, a modern AU Phantom of the Opera fanfiction. (at AO3, and FF). I LOVE the fear, anxiety, and tenderness in their faces and how it’s at odds with the beautiful light. I never really specify (and I think it even changed) which mask was in the story but I figure people can imagine what they like, and love that you included it here! You far exceeded any expectations! Thank you!
"You know, they say eyes are the windows to the soul," Christine whispered.
One eye at a time, Erik opened and looked up. She was so soft in this light. Her brow was frowning but her trembling lips (the ones he kissed and kissed) were just turned up at the corners. Compassion and pity are cousins but they are not the same.
Erik cleared his throat. "In some cases, they forgot to hang drapes." He was without the softness of flesh. Hard angles and exposed sub structure like abandoned framework.
Her cool hands cupped his face, thumbs lightly grazing his cheekbones. "You don't hang curtains in a cathedral."
This is amazing. Thank you so much, @staminaoverlook!
