    Summary

    “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

    Owain, Lord Commander of the Order of The Tree Sentinels, awakes to find a world far removed from his first life. The Lands Between lay in crumbling ruin; his great order rotted. The demigods he was once oath bound to protect; dead or in disarray. Most distressing of all, his beloved is trapped in the body of a doll! Memories of gilded days bombard him, and he begins to realize that perhaps The Golden Order was only that, flaking gold over rusted iron.
    A winding tale of a scattered past, a long held love, and one man's wavering devotion to a goddess he is unsure he can still believe in. Follow Owain as he fights desperately to restore his family and the lands he loves, all while the creeping madness of the shards of the elden ring ever gnaw upon his heart and mind.

    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.
