    Summary

    “Here.”

    If a word could cut Elphaba knows that one would have drawn blood.

    Now it’s Glinda who turns away and Elphaba is frozen in place, stricken. Shivering in her soaking wet clothes as she gathers the papers shoved into her hands and begins to skim its contents. The fight drains out of her in an instant, joining the pools of water gathering around her feet.

    “What is this?” Elphaba’s voice is quiet now with disbelief, eyes finding Glinda’s figure knelt in front of a solid gold fireplace, striking a match in her hand.

    The fire catches on the logs instantly, the orange light dancing across Glinda’s face, casting shadows in her expression, “What does it look like?”

    It looks like information. Like names, dates, and locations of Animals suspected as part of the resistance. She’s horror-stricken to find names she recognizes —names that Dillamond had whispered in confidence and secrecy— and the icy clench of fear in her chest chases any last remnants of warmth the storm had left behind.

    Or

    What if things had gone just a little differently and what a world of difference it could make?

    Summary

    “Oh, you are the most annoyifying little frog I have ever had the displeasure of knowing!” She punctuates the claim with a stomp of her high-heeled foot.

    “Really?” Elphaba feigns disappointment. “Oh, Miss Galinda. We’ve known each other a little while now. You’ve had time to ruminate on your insults. Is ‘frog’ really the best you could come up with?”

    Or, Galinda Upland is in love with Elphaba Thropp. She does not realize this until it is too late.

    Summary

    “Shhh. It’s me, it’s… it’s Glinda.” She’s suddenly not sure that’s going to be at all reassuring to Elphaba. “You’re safe. You’re safe, okay? Just sleep. I promise I won’t—” Won’t what? Tell anyone she’s here? Arrest her herself? Hurt her? Take her broom away? Imprison her? Everything that could finish that sentence feels to Glinda like she’s only reminding Elphaba what she could do. “I promise you’re safe.”

    Elphaba crashes onto Glinda’s balcony, and Glinda has to hide Elphaba from the world while she recovers.

    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.
