Brief summary: I read this story a while ago but, at first, couldn't really think of anything to say. Except, it's been stuck in my memory for quite a while since then. It sort of crept into my psyche and wouldn't go away. There's a magical realism to this story that I admire.
I am grateful for any Raoul-based fic. The Phandom tends to under-use any characters besides Erik and Christine in fan fiction. There's a lot of psychological trauma that Raoul experiences that can be explored in fic but rarely is--and nobody ever remembers about Phillipe!
