Is the phandom really so different now? I mean, you couldn't throw a ballet slipper without hitting an Erik/Christine fic, usually with bonus asshole!Raoul, back in the day. And canon Erik/Christine, for a given value of canon, aka Love Never Dies, is actually a thing if you like the original musical. Admittedly I love the original musical and fucking loathe LND, but it's out there. And as for woobifying Erik, there was always E/C fic out there that dealt, okay, not realistically, but operatically, with how fucked up they'd be as a pair, while still shipping them. It doesn't have to be OOC fluff unless that's what you want.

I was going to say, I've never been in the fandom for this musical at all-I just liked the story ever since hearing a recording of it in sixth grade. But anytime I've come across anyone else who loves this story, Erik/Christine is always the favored pairing.

I remember wanting them to get together, too, when I was younger. Looking at the story now obviously I can see where that would turn out quite badly, of course. I still feel kinda bad for the Phantom, though.

Your comments about ways to ship them are spot on, too. Considering how popular bad guy/good girl pairings are in various fandoms in general, Erik/Christine would certainly fit right in, so...
