igenlodeStill working my way through plot point 12 -- Philippe is a little less inclined to consent instantly than I assumed he would be, but he and Christine both currently seem to be regarding Raoul as an impulsive junior in need of protection, which is at least common ground, even if not quite the character dynamic I was going for.
(And after all, the last Philippe heard of this proposed match was when Raoul was sobbing into his shoulder back in plot point 2 -- in December 2017, eek! -- so he is entitled to ask Christine for reassurance that she doesn't intend to ditch his little brother again :-p)
I was going through my Christine/Erik chapters to check that I hadn't used her reflections on not actually wanting her voice back (for years she has sung to please other people, never herself) previously, and to my surprise I couldn't find such a passage there. Perhaps it was something from another story, or perhaps a PM discussion I had on fanfiction.net; there is a paragraph when she first loses her voice where she talks about her voice not belonging to herself and realising that perhaps she doesn't really regret its loss, but nothing like the material I just wrote. And despite the labour those chapters cost me (although nothing like the trouble I would have with subsequent ones!) they look pretty good now, reading back over them a year or so later.
I've had hits on every single story on my fanfiction.net profile for a third month running. No idea how long this streak is likely to last -- it happened early again this month -- but while it does it's not worth noting all the statistics individually :-p
