    Summary

    At Shiz University, Professor Elphaba Thropp does not do favorites. She does not do exceptions. And she does not get distracted.

    Galinda Upland is an exception she never agreed to noticing.

    Bright, popular, and infuriatingly composed, Galinda shouldn’t stand out in Elphaba’s lecture hall the way she does. But she does. Every question, every answer, every quiet moment where Elphaba catches herself looking a second too long.

    It starts with academic interest.

    It does not stay that way.

    Set in an alternate snow white (lost in the forest) set up. Everything else is Oz.

    Summary

    Shadowheart finally has the life she’s always wanted: a peaceful farm, her wife Lae’zel, and their adopted child, Xan. But when a Selûnite chapter near the outskirts of Waterdeep calls for her help, she leaves home expecting only a simple act of service. But instead, she stumbles onto a situation rotting from within. People vanish in the night, come back wrong, and something hungry stirs beneath it all.

    To uncover the truth, she joins forces with her old friend and companion, Gale, who is hunting answers of his own as a mysterious curse tightens its grip on the city he calls home.

    Summary

    Eight hundred and twenty-seven days.

    That was how long it had been since Commander Shepard died.

    Liara had consciously stopped counting somewhere around day four hundred, when the numbers had started to feel more like a prison sentence than a measurement of time. Each dawn that crept through her bedroom window on Illium felt like another weight added to her chest, another link in the chains that bound her to a life she no longer recognized.

    Summary

    She had been ready to burn it all down.

    That is the thing Elphaba keeps coming back to, afterward, in the narrow hours when she can't sleep and the Emerald City hums green outside her window. She had been ready. Her whole body had been oriented toward it, toward the fire and the fight and Fiyero's hand and the sky opening up ahead of her like a door.

    And then Glinda had looked at her.

    And she had come down.

    Or: what if the Wizard and Glinda did convince Elphaba to stay. And what if Elphaba starts to see exactly what Glinda has been surviving, deliberately, so that Elphaba could come home safe.

    Summary

    “Do you remember Madame Morrible and her awful Prop and Ganda department? Well, I figured that I could put them to actual good use. And so I did a little image rehabilification.”

    “A little?”

    Glinda twirls a strand of blonde hair around her finger, not meeting her eyes. “Tiny. Microscopical. Infinitesimal. Just a whisper of a coordinated multiyear plan involving publicists, historians, theater troupes, and a very spirited group of fans.”

    Elphaba blinks.

    Glinda smiles sweetly.

    “Elphaba,” she says gently, “darling—to come back from a smear campaign, you simply must have good press.”


    Or, Elphaba spends ten years being dead. Oz spends ten years falling in love with her. She did not request a redemption arc, let alone one so exuberant.

    Summary

    Morrible unfurls Glinda’s mind like a scroll, examining the contents of her memory the way she examined the displayed organs of the first fetal pig she ever dissected. It’s less cohesive than the innards of a pig. That’s the problem with memory bound by emotion. Love is diffuse. It so easily becomes entangled in every aspect of the human experience, regardless of whether the target was physically present or not. Extracting it with any amount of elegance can get…dicey.

    Summary

    “Goddess Glinda, is it true?” She asks. She leans inward and uses her hands to keep her from falling forward. Her eyes are wide with curiosity.

    “Is what true, dear nymph?” Glinda responds as she tilts her head, a few blonde curls tumbling over her shoulder.

    “Is it true you married the Queen of the Underworld?”

    Summary

    "Thoughts of Elphie and Fiyero had kept the abyss of despair at bay for a long time. Now, they were giving her something sweet to hold onto, some last glimmers of warmth and happiness and love, as she slipped towards the end."

    or

    The day after Elphaba and Glinda parted ways in the Emerald City, Glinda went missing. After an agonizing year of futile searching, Elphaba learns the horrible truth: Morrible sold Glinda as a pleasure slave outside of Oz. Elphie and Fiyero go to rescue Glinda, but find a broken shell of the vibrant girl they knew at Shiz. Perhaps most disturbingly, she has completely lost the ability to speak.

    Glinda has given up. But Elphie and Fiyero are determined to help her learn to be happy again.

    “As long as I’m alive, I’ll be where you are.”

     

    Or: Glinda was supposed to be untouchable: beautiful, beloved, and useful to the people in power. Instead, she becomes a prisoner in silk, trapped in a role she never chose and carrying a pregnancy that was never hers to decide.

    Elphaba, meanwhile, becomes exactly what Oz needs her to be: a villain. A warning. A story people can fear instead of facing the truth.

    When their paths collide again, love becomes impossible to ignore and even more impossible to survive. Because freedom in Oz has never come without violence and hurt and lies.

    Summary

    Glinda The Good is ill, they were saying. Deathly ill. Agonizing as we speak, even. She might already be dead, for all we know.

    And, though exagerated in many ways, there was some truth to the words. Glinda's illnes had started long ago, too long to pinpoint an exact moment. The very day she was born, perhaps. But the particular trigger, the foundation of said rumors, had originated a little under four years ago. The day half of Glinda's heart died.

    (Gossip, as it turns out, is an extremely useful thing. It can cause riot and peace, reveal truths and break promises. It can even bring people back from the dead. Isn't that wonderful?)

    Or: After years of performance and solitude, Glinda finally breaks. Rumors about Glinda The Good's wellbeing bring Elphaba back home.
