That is awesome - because young Charlie X really *is* very "Erik in training." That's actually a great fanfic plot-bunny idea, too.
How about Harcourt Fenton Mudd as one of the managers? He's already the impresario type.
Excellent call with the "Requiem for Methusaleh" story, with the focus on the "old man/young woman" vs. "young man rival." Rayna short-circuiting and dying does have an echo at the end of the 2004 movie - only movie!Christine's death is longer and slower. That's probably where the "Crazy Christine" trope comes from, where she's made mad by her internal conflicts over the two men.
