    Summary

    It was wishful thinking. It had to be the truth. Glinda may not know much but she knew performance, and the more she thought about it the better it fit. Elphaba’s death didn’t make sense. Glinda had seen it with her own eyes and had stupidly believed that was proof it had happened.

    Elphaba’s melting shadow had been wearing the hat. Glinda wasn’t sure of the scientification of melting, but surely either all or none of her clothes should have melted. Surely Elphaba herself shouldn’t have melted. Fiyero’s body was missing, and Elphaba’s hat was in her hands.

    Glinda stared at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she realized she must have been crying. She looked crazy. It didn’t matter.

    Elphaba was alive.

    Summary

    “Nothing. It’s just—you’ve been Galindafied.” And he pointed at the flower clip in her hair, still laughing. “You don’t need to do that, you know—”

    “I think she can do whatever she wants.” And there was Galinda, now clinging to Fiyero’s arm with a smile on her face.


    Or, Galinda is there the day Dr. Dillamond is fired.

    Or, Elphaba and Galinda’s first and only year at Shiz, with all the good and not-so-good things that entails.

    Summary

    “What are you doing here?”

    “I should ask that of you. Seriously, Elphie, a religious convent? Who have you become?”

    “A ghost,” said Elphaba. “If I'm anything at all.”

    “You were always a ghost. Even back at Shiz, you were.”


    Or, Glinda visits the cloister of her namesake. Things spiral from there.
