    Summary

    A fic in five acts

    It took them four days to find Christine. Four days she had spent alone, in shock, unable to leave her father's slowly decaying corpse.

    In an attempt to escape the memory of his death, Christine joins the National Opera and throws herself into rehearsals. However, as she settles into her place in the newly constructed opera house, she begins to learn that things are not quite what they seem… And that there are things far more haunting than the memory of her father's rotting flesh.

    Summary

    His lungs are rafters. His veins are endless corridors. Dusty velvet curtains are his skin. His eyes are thousands of doors. He aches with age. Nothing pulls him far from sleep anymore.
    Until her. She sings and he has a heart again. She speaks to him, and it beats.
    She offers him everything she has, and he takes.
    The audience applauds.
    The man dies.
    Erik takes a breath.

    Summary

    "I heard the monster was some kind of frog that cries a lot. Someone told me he'd fed it."
    "Fed it?"
    "Yes, he said the Ringbearer brought it back with him, and now it's staying in a guest house and it eats raw meat, and it stays in the dark all the time and screams if you open a window to let in the sunlight, and if you bring it water to splash in it'll tell you a riddle. I am certain he invented all of it. He thinks he's quite special now he's an errand boy in the palace. But, as we were telling absurd tales..."
    Gollum stepped out into the street behind them. "There was no monster," he said shrilly, "no! No, no- don't talk about things you know nothing about- it is silly! Foolish!"
    "I'm sorry?" one of the teens said, turning to blink at him, and another said: "Who are you?"
    Gollum had no answer. How could he answer? What would he say? He squirmed, and said gollum in his throat, and turned on his heel to scurry away.
    ---
    There was a third hobbit on Mt. Doom that day. But no one likes to talk about that, now do they, precious?

    (AU. Gollum made a different choice at Cirith Ungol. And, awkwardly enough, he's not dead, somehow, so, uh, now what?)
