* ''Comments'': The summary above doesn't even begin to do this story justice. Dark, psychological, moving, and realistic. While researched extensively it never lectures. Everyone is not only in-character, but fleshed out in such a way that makes them feel even more human. Easily the best ''Phantom of the Opera'' sequel this troper has ever read. Hasn't updated in a few years though, so be warned.

Latest revision as of 22:06, 7 September 2021


Proof that the remaining 10% is worth dying for here:

These are recommendations made by tropers for The Phantom of the Opera fan fics, all of which have to be signed to stay on the page. Feel free to add a fanfic of your own to the list, but remember to use the template found here.

Do warn when a fanfic may head into homosexual or non-canon territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, Shipping is Serious Business. You can also add to the current recommendations if you want. Refrain from posting Conversation in the Main Page though; that goes in the discussion page.
