Second, I'm only writing this because my Angel (aka Bastard of the Highest Order) threatened me with a week of sleeping on the couch if I didn't.

Summary
Months have passed since Christine last saw the phantom. She knows he died in the mob, and the opera house will soon be pulled down by her husband, Raoul.
So why isn't she at peace? Why doesn't she sing anymore? And why, when she looks at her face in the mirror, is he still there, inside?
Christine can't shake her ghost. She journeys back underground to kill it.
(Because 'music of the night' and 'strange duets' are clearly metaphors for sex. Let's get real here.)
(Because who didn't need a moment alone after watching 2004's Point of No Return?)
(No Love Never Dies included 'cos I heard it was naff.)
Podfic now available in the series.

Summary
Erik has been alone for most of his life, but it's been bearable. Enriching himself with the vast world wide web, he finds that he can be anyone he wants to be while finding the solution to social needs that he's severely neglected.
Stumbling onto a small YouTube channel run by a beautiful young woman, he wonders if it's possible that he doesn't actually have to be alone forever.
Christine Daae has led a relatively sheltered life. Despite her father's chronic illness and their poverty, she has always had a knack for looking on the bright side of everything. In the hype of social media, she creates a small VLog channel to function as her living scrapbook. She doesn't understand just how dangerous it could be.

Summary
Tony Stark and James Barnes don't get along. Maybe it was the whole "Hey, I killed your parents " thing, or the "I was once a villainous murderer" thing. Either way, they don't work together for sanity's sake. Not until now. Manhattan is under invasion, and differences must be put aside. Nothing goes to plan; Iron Man is down, and Tony's lungs are damaged by smoke inhalation. James, too, isn't in good shape, maybe because Tony stabbed him, maybe because something is very wrong with his prosthetic arm. Probably both.
They must traverse the city turned warzone to try to reach their fellow Avengers, but between them and help are traps, bombs, and teams of soldiers that herd further and further from help. Survival pushes the pair together, and slowly the walls between them break down, and trust grows. Tony starts to see beyond the past, to the fragile human behind the legend of the Winter Soldier.
Their bad day has turned into a bad week when they are taken captive by the enemy. An enemy whose plan is far more diabolical than any of them could have imagined. Now, they only have each other. What horrible fate is planned for them, and how will they survive? More importantly, how will they escape?

Summary
Tales of a young man's angelic voice carry far beyond the Russian fairground he sings at. The police chief of a whole province in Persia is sent on an errand beneath his station. And a farmer’s daughter marries into the fringes of the Shah’s court. Three lives brought together in one place, at one point in history. It could be said that Persia made Erik into Erik, for good or ill. A tale of how even the darkest night can give way to sunlight.
The Sultan's crown, with priceless jewels set,
Encircles fear of death and constant dread
It is a head-dress much desired—and yet
Art sure 'tis worth the danger to the head?
(Hafez)Chapters 1-33 follow Erik during 'the rosy hours of Mazandaran.' Chapters 34 to the end pick up after 'the whole affair of the Opera Ghost.'
