Title: Frailty, Thy Name Is Desire
Author:
Pairing: Erik/Raoul
Rating: R
Disclaimer: The Phantom of the Opera was created by Gaston Leroux, made into a musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, brought to screen by Joel Schumacher and Warner Brothers. Gerard Butler played the Phantom and Patrick Wilson played Raoul. My name does not appear there anywhere.
Warnings: None.
There is nothing appealing about the Viscount. He wants to take my angel from me. If he had his way, Christine would be in his arms and would never again sing to me in the night. I have no reason to like him.
The fact that he is visually stunning should have no bearing on the subject. The way his fingers play over his cuffs when he is nervous should not charm me. Nor should the way his throat works when he swallows entice me.
I should not want to pin that lithe, smooth body against a wall and take my pleasure. I should want to punish him and frighten him away. But when I plan my revenge, my thoughts always turn to his arms lost in the fine fabric of his shirt as I push it up his body, his legs splayed on my bed, toes digging into my sheets, trying to find purchase as I slowly drive him mad with my tongue.
I should not want to keep him. He has stolen Christine's affections, those precious affections, away from me.
I should not want him as I do, but I cannot help myself. Alas, I am but human.

That being said...because I didn't realize it was a drabble, and read it anyway, I really really liked where you were going. I have tried to capture that exact topic in both a short story & a long series, but you nailed it right here. I wish you would write something longer; you have obvious talent and a grasp on the actual characters that many writers do not.

This is my first Phantom FPS fic, so I'm just getting my feet wet. I'm glad you liked it. :D
