  3. Summary

    This will be a series full of Elisabeth-related stories, about Elisabeth herself, Rudolf, other characters from the Musical and the life of the historical figure.
    A lot of Death. And more Death. Did I mention Death?
    Some works will be crossovers with other Musicals, mostly Tanz der Vampire.
    Originally the oneshots were written by me in German, but I wanted to translate (and polish) them.

    Summary

    Ludwig is a gifted kid from the wrong side of the tracks—gritty, stubborn, and brilliant at the piano. Against all odds, he earns a full scholarship to the local college, determined to rise above a chaotic home life and make something of himself. Between classes, part-time jobs, and endless pressure, he's barely keeping it together.

    And then there’s him—the young, eccentric music professor with wild hair, too much talent, and a smile Ludwig can’t stop thinking about.

    Balancing ambition, survival, and a growing attraction that’s equal parts confusing and consuming, Ludwig is about to learn that genius isn’t always enough... and love doesn't follow the rules.

    Summary

    Daniel can tell right away that something is deeply, unsettlingly wrong. And that’s when he realizes that Armand hasn’t moved his legs once in Daniel’s sight, which has been trained on him nearly the entire time. How long had it taken Louis to recover from his spinal injury?

    “He had a lot more going on,” Armand wheezes. “But, to answer your question without consulting your abysmal recordings? Months.”

    “Uh, they’re not so easily consulted at the moment,” Daniel says, trying to maintain his balance. It’s going to be a fucking miracle if he can get himself back on his feet, let alone haul a temporarily paralyzed Armand along with him. “I’m gonna let the head thing slide for the time being.”

    “The head thing?”

    “You. In mine.”

    “How generous.”

    “The way I see it,” Daniel says, “I’m your only ticket out of here if you’re in as bad a shape as I think you are. Tell me I’m wrong.”

    Summary

    “Okay,” Daniel slides a hand under Armand’s shirt, “so what happened, huh?” His palm presses into the flat plane of Armand’s stomach, head jerking toward the figure in the painting. “If you really used to look like that.”

    The air in the gallery grows thin. Distantly, Armand hears himself say, “I had an illness.”
