CANTRIPS & CONTRAPTIONS XX - CROSSING OVER WITH MORE NOVELS

Given the crossover potential of Les Misérables with more French romantic novels, I have decided - why not bring that aspect into Cantrips & Contraptions?

PoTO - The Opéra Garnier could be a freehold; the idea of donning costumes and singing one's lines in a foreign lang is just too irresistible for me to let go of it. Christina Daaé is sidhe kinain from the fae kingdom of Dalecarlia/Dalarna (northern Scandinavia) on her mother's side, and as for the rest of the company... well, two old friends from CoMC are also part of the troupe, as revealed below...

CoMC - Eugénie Danglars and Louise d'Armilly are connected to the Opéra - having just returned to France after their Italian stint. Julien and Hermione Danglars are all right Dursleys of this universe (though Victorian Dursleys being luxury hotel owners, a banker and baroness) and their daughter may reveal her identity and the fact that she did not commit suicide to them sooner or later... /// Albert de Morcerf/Mondiego and his parents could be connected to the Gillenormands - Ferran keeping Théodule as an aide. If Edmond and not Ferran were his real father Albert would be sevartal or sidhe kinain. /// The Villeforts as a whole are pretty fudged up. I think of Gérard as being as muggle as a bureaucrat/magistrate can be, but his first wife Renée was not only a marquise but also an autumn sidhe of House Leanhaun, which makes Valentine kinain as well. Eloïse I think of as a mundane witch relying more on poisons and drugs than on spells (she is basically the Wicked Queen from Snow White in a Victorian setting), and Édouard is as muggle as both his parents (also as downright annoying as younger siblings can get). /// Most uncomfortably that literal and metaphorical bastard Andrea Cavalcanti, AKA Benedetto de Villefort, is a Varich sevartal and the upper-class counterpart of Montparnasse - the two of them are co-conspirators, one of them operating in high society and the other in gangland for the interest of House Varich, that adopted Andrea most recently after he arrived in Paris/the Royal Domain from the South/Sapphire Seas.
