Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Jo Gar Series - Ramon Decolta Rating: Not Rated Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Characters: Jo Gar - Character, Sadi Ratan Additional Tags: Original Character(s), The Magician Murder, The Magician Murder AU, Abuse of Authority, not-quite accurate depiction of legal processes in pre-Revised Penal Code era, mixed opinions on American-era occupation, it's set during the American occupation of the Philippines (duh!), no beta we die like every murder victim of every Jo Gar story ever, sadi sounds more like a spurned lover fight me Summary:

“And you will be brought to trial for lying to me, a police officer!” Edilberto heard Lieutenant Ratan fiercely threaten Jo Gar. “‘Lying to me?’” he repeated the words mockingly as a greeting to the lieutenant. He closed the door behind him a little too strongly and raised a brow at the lieutenant. “Who the fuck do you think Jo Gar is, your wayward husband?”

When a chat about the case of the murdered magician goes ugly, one of Jo Gar's longtime acquaintances walks up into the scene and chooses figurative violence against the lieutenant of the Manila Police Station who thinks he is right in accusing an innocent man of a murder he may not commit. Or "The Magician Murder" AU in which someone puts Sadi Ratan in his place. Title from Taylor Swift's "Karma".

and how the blood rushed into my cheeks

Summary: Sadi Ratan has feelings for Jo Gar, it turns out. (At least in this 'Verse.)

*****************

He was laughing at the very thought. He! He, Sadi Ratan, developing tender feelings for Jo Gar! It was not supposed to be the way of things, he protested to himself. Jo Gar was his natural enemy, the obstacle to his success, his rival in work he tried to eliminate.

And yet when he had to work with Jo to solve the case on the attempt in Miguel Chua's life--somehow--the axis had tilted to a different angle. If he hadn't felt funny every time he was with Jo, he was more even now. If he hadn't dreamt of Jo in the quiet of the night of different sorts of dreams, he was dreaming more of him now. If he wasn't admiring Jo--however begrudgingly--he was now, and more in awe with him than ever. If he wasn't wanting to spend more time with Jo, he was now.

And how he yearned to have more time with him! Time spent not in arguing over murder cases and more on which establishment had the best vintages of claret sold, both of them laughing over the burgundy-red liquid that spilled on the lieutenant's undershirt (and seeing Jo's cheeks in pinkish glow out of childlike joy). Time spent more in asking about his childhood, what games he loved to play (like Jo Gar was his closest friend). Time spent more in him wanting to pour out his soul to the Island detective (without sounding whiny, of course). Time spent more in exploring one another--literally and figuratively. (The last thought made him blush more than he wanted to admit.)

Time spent more with Jo and seeing him in a new light, expunging the hatred that had once built within his heart until it had choked him. That lump that had been destroyed once it was clear that it was ruining his life more than he wanted to admit.

He laughed and laughed, until tears began to spring from his eyes. To his horror, he sobbed and let the emotions wash over him. He lay on the bed, crying and crying and crying.

And it hit him.

Lieutenant Sadi Ratan found himself presented with the truth that he could not run away from.

He wanted Jo Gar. Unstintingly.

Madre de Dios, what had he gotten himself into?

Hi Prince. I just listened to one of your Erik audios for the first time and it's gotten me interested in The Phantom of The Opera now. What would you suggest watching as a first introduction to it?

oooo okay okay okay okay. so. you'll quickly realise how much of a nerd i am for phantom, look, i had a whole two years where this was all i was drawing and thinking about and making up my own aus and comics and just. a lot.

if you want a musical watch the 2011 live concert 25th anniversary performance, it's not exactly the same staging as if you saw it on the west end of broadway, but it's pretty close and it's professionally filmed and it's a good easy way to get into the musical. if you're not bothered about something pretty i'd recommend any recording with ethan freeman as the phantom, that man makes me sob. i know a lot of people got into the musical via the 2004 film adaption but... but, i don't be upset if you love the film, it's not a great film and it's not sung the best. so i'd always recommend watching a live version of the musical over the movie version.

now if you want something non musical well i first have to recommend the actual original novel. it's wonderful and it's one of the few places you can actually find the character of the daroga, who is almost always cut out of every single phantom of the opera adaption, which is not a good luck when he's the only poc in the book. and he deserves to be included for being the only man who can cope with putting up with any of erik's bullshit, like can you imagine having erik as a friend, this man deserves a medal. the andrew lloyd webber musical cuts out entire characters, rearranges the plot, and makes up a backstory for erik which is taken from 'phantom' by susan kay, a novel that is basically published fanfiction, but in the novel and older stagings of the musical erik's backstory wasn't explained and i think it's better that way.

and if you're wanting something to watch that's not a musical, there are many film and tv adaptions. the 1990 miniseries with charles dance as erik is so sweet omg, it's the nicest like morally good version of erik, i want to just hold him, he's often called "cherik" by the fandom (mashing up charles + erik) and he's just a sweet little baby.

another movie that's an adaption of phantom even if you didn't know it? a monster in paris! it's cute, it's animated, it's a musical, i wanna take Francœur home and look after him.

other movies? there's a lot. i'd stay clear of a few in particular because they're... either really bad or way too trigger warning inducing (i'm talking about you rat phantom), there's the original (well the first ever phantom film was actually before this, but it's lost media) 1925 black and white phantom with lon chaney, that's one of the most book accurate but not really because once again, no daroga... or well sort of daroga, but not really. but there's so many movies and i haven't seen most of them so i can't really say which ones are good or not. the most known ones are the 1925, 1943, 1962 and 1989. however there is also The Phantom of the Paradise, which is a rock opera horror musical movie with the very talented Brian de Palma as director, very cult 70s film.

did you know there's other musical adaptions other than andrew lloyd webbers? he actually made his musical because he say ken hill's phantom of the opera musical on stage and wanted to make his own. the next popular after alw's would be Phantom by yeston and kopit, there are some beautiful japanese productions by takarazuka of that musical (an all female acting troupe where yes the male characters are played by women).

don't watch love never dies. don't. it's. webber's bad fanfiction of 'what if erik and christine banged during the original musical and what if i ruined the personality and character and agency of all the female characters, but also made raoul just horrible because i ship erikstine 4ever and also i can definitely do basic addition and the 1910s definitely take place 10 years after the 1880s"... sorry if you like love never dies, you're a braver soul than i.

if you can find a copy of it, the 1980s manga adaption that i was lucky enough to find a copy of on yahoo actions jp a few years ago is beautifully illustrated. as is like every japanese publication of the book, which they also have published it multiple times as a children's book?? well the illustrations are pretty.

and if you like metal you might wanna listed to nightwish's cover of 'the phantom of the opera' from webber's musical.

#oh boy it got long but there you go #i love talking about phantom i could talk about phantom for a long time #ive been lucky enough to see it live in the west end and aaaa #i loved holly ann hull and rhys whitfield as christine and raoul like no ones been a more fun ernest raoul #ive seen people who hate raoul go and see rhys and suddenly love raoul #but i saw killian donnerly as erik and honestly he just didnt do it for me like i couldnt buy into his acting sadly #but hey its a new cast over here now so if i go again i'll get to see new peeps!#i really wanted to see james gant as erik hes an understudy but got such good reviewsss #the vampire answers
