Christine visiting the Phantom in fan-fiction

[igenlode]

I just came across yet another story supposedly set during an unspecified period after the unmasking where Christine is visiting her 'Angel' daily under the Opera and/or chastely spending nights in his guest bedroom, while continuing to attend rehearsals above-ground, and the two of them are angsty and fluffy together now that she has got over her quite unreasonable reaction to his face and violent behaviour... except that this setting so beloved of fan-fiction, which indeed is virtually 'fanon' for their relationship, doesn't exist in any version :-(

There simply is no time in the story during which Christine resumes friendly relations with the Phantom after discovering the truth about him -- in the musical, she expresses fear of him on at least three separate subsequent occasions and never goes back until she is kidnapped in "Don Juan", and in the novel she goes back reluctantly and in a state of increasing terror and revulsion, until she feels compelled to confess the whole to Raoul because she is afraid of being forced back underground forever. Christine in canon doesn't ever co-exist happily with the Phantom once she realises that he is a creepy human and not an angelic voice; she may pity him, but she doesn't return to him on terms of friendly acquaintance, let alone affection.

I shouldn't get so annoyed at this fictional setting, given that E/C stories are inherently ignoring canon in principle, but for some reason I do...
