    Summary

    Just a silly little meet-cute. To begin. Started as a one-shot, but the wheels keep turning.
    Mid-late 1870s. After the commune, but before Leroux things happen, and taking lots of liberty with those Leroux things. And with the geography of Paris. Erik is living underground, but he hasn't become completely unhinged. Christine and her Dad have just arrived in France. I sent them to Paris instead of the coast. (Sorry, imaginary baby Raoul!) But, there are scarves a-plenty!
    No reason. It started as something happy. Things may take a turn.
    Inspired by the time I tried to go on a romantic springtime in Paris trip and it friggin hailed. Not cool, Springtime in Paris.

    Summary

    Erik does not intend to remember her phone number. At least that is what he tells himself later. He does enter it into his phone as soon as he leaves the store.

    In classic Erik fashion, he gets the better of Christine's good nature and befriends her.

    Summary

    “Physical desire is a perfectly manageable thing. There is no reason to perform such an act for the sake of the act itself, biologically speaking,” the elf speaks to him slowly, as one might when explaining something to a very stupid, albeit endearing, pet. “Unless one is engaged in the reproductive pursuit of conceiving a child, of course.”

    A swig of the mulled wine manages to get unpleasantly lodged in Halbrand's windpipe. “Oh,” her eyes narrow at the thinly disguised laughter in the wet of his cough; other patrons around them turning to investigate the source of such a noise. “Oh—Galadriel.”

     

    Or: Galadriel is a 5,000 year old virgin, and Halbrand decides to change that.

    Summary

    She feels strange now, not unpleasant by any means - simply different. Like the girls in fairytales who trade seeing unicorns for something magical in a different way. Ellen was never visited by sweet, innocent, things like that and so to her Orlok is the equivalent exchange.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Ellen asks for something from a monster and he is happy to oblige her.
