    Summary

    Life is perfectly pleasant (if a little dull) for Elphaba and Fiyero seven years after she faked her own death, ran away from her home and left her best friend to rule Oz alone. Nothing ever really changes in the desert outside Oz until, one day, there's a knock at their door announcing the arrival of a young boy who looks identical to Galinda Upland.

    Well.

    Not quite.

    He was in every way an exact copy of Galinda.

    Except.

    Except, he’s green.

    OR

    Galinda Upland's son drags Elphaba back to Oz.

    Summary

    “What does seasick mean?” 

    “It feels like the ground beneath your feet isn’t steady, darling,” Glinda said. Elphaba realized that was a good way to explain how she felt. It was like the marble floor had suddenly dissolved into water, and now she couldn’t find her footing. Because she had to be wrong. This girl couldn’t possibly be her daughter. Logic went against it, even though she had Glinda's eyes and smile and Elphaba's furrow in her brow.

    It should have been impossible, even though Elphaba's heart was saying otherwise

    Or: After receiving a life changing revelation, Elphaba finds herself accepting a deal to stay in the Emerald City four years post DG. Now it's up to her and Glinda to protect their family while bringing the regime down from the inside.

    Summary

    "You're my daughter, I'd do anything–!"

    She stopped, hand half-raised, magic crackling in her veins. "…Anything?"

    The Wizard locked eyes with her, silent just long enough to make it clear he understood exactly what he was doing. He nodded. "Anything."

    ~*~

    An accident kills Madame Morrible and reveals Elphaba's parentage before she's branded a wicked witch.

    Things go a little differently from there.

    Summary

    “You’re different,” the woman murmured, the sound of it briefly tickling what was left of Galinda’s senses. “You’re not so eager to eat me.”

    If she could still roll her eyes, Galinda would’ve had them stuck behind their lids by now. Not all zombies eat humans, alright? Well—at least not her!

    “Ah, what am I saying,” retreating completely, Galinda could only watch as the woman chuckled to herself and looked at Galinda’s body from head to toe. “You’re probably just full.”

    How she wished that were true. Galinda hadn't felt full in years. She was constantly hungry and grumbly, always craving for the nearest living flesh she could hardly find nowadays. Galinda was pretty sure the infection had already wiped out the better part of the world, leaving her with scraps if not birds for sustenance.

    “Best not to waste my energy on you, then.”

    And just like that, the oddly interesting green thing turned her back on Galinda and walked away.

    The audacity! In what world was Galinda ever a waste of energy? Certainly not this zombie-infested one!

    ::

    In which Galinda is a zombie in desperate need of friends.
