Summary
Regret is a funny thing.
For much of her early life, Glinda had believed that regret was for weak-willed, indecisive idiots. Regret was for others who could not live with their past choices, not for her, never for her. Regret was foolish, and Galinda Upland was not foolish. She never regretted anything, not until Shiz. Not until Elphaba.
When Elphaba offers to send her back- back to Shiz, back to before all of their mistakes- she jumps at the chance. Only, Elphaba can read the spells aloud all she wants, but the Grimmerie has a mind of its own.
In the long-dead past, twelve year old Galinda Upland wakes from a horrific nightmare, a name on her lips that belongs to someone she doesn't know yet.
Glinda the Good is no more.***
Gelphie time travel with a twist :)

Summary
Rumi couldn't take it, the way they looked at her, their weapons drawn. She falls to her knees, at their mercy. If anyone can fix things, fix her, it would be them.
~~
My take on the "what if Rumi didn't run and asked Zoey and Mira to kill her" idea. They talk a lot and in part two they cuddle and kiss about it.

Summary
In the mirror, her eyes were still golden. But they didn’t seem as unnatural now. They were warm. Luminous. Like sunrise caught in glass. Like the colour they fought to turn the Honmoon.
“I keep forgetting,” Rumi muttered, “that I don’t have to hide anymore.”
“That’s why we’re here,” Zoey said, nudging her with an elbow. “To remind you.”
Or: A week since everything went down, Rumi finds herself forgetting she doesn't have to keep things a secret anymore. (3 times +1)

Summary
A chill swept through Rumi as, suddenly, Mira’s body tensed. The hotheaded woman was practically shooting lasers at her screen. For a second, Rumi worried she might actually crack the phone in her shaking hand.
Whatever Mira was looking at was bad.
Then, in what was undoubtedly an unconscious action, Mira’s eyes shot down to her own in a panicked flash.
'Oh,’ Rumi swallowed sharply, ‘so it’s about me.’
Or
A couch doomscrolling day takes a turn for the worse when Huntrix's new comeback promo posters are released. Not everyone is a fan of Rumi's new look.

Summary
“I can explain,” she rushes out, even though she has actually no idea how to explain.
“Yeah, can you explain why I found this out from a Twitter thread instead of from you?” Bobby says. He grabs his phone and pulls up a web page, then slides the phone over to Rumi.
She freezes.
It’s not some tell-all about her secret demon identity.
She looks down at the photo, taken by some resourceful paparazzo, of Jinu waving goodbye as he slips out the back of her condo building. In the background, blurry but still obviously her, is Rumi.

Five times people assumed Rumi and Jinu are together (and one other time entirely)

Cynthia probably shouldn't tell this man that she's from the future.
"I'm from the future," Cynthia says.
Or: local history/mythology nerd (among other things) ends up in Hisui. Surely nothing can go wrong with this.

Summary
Everyone knows what Cynthia became: the stylish, confident champion of the Sinnoh region. But what almost no one knows is how she got there, where she started, and what the future leader of Team Galactic had to do with it.
This is the story of how a legend begins: with a quiet girl, a baby dragon, and a cave painting.

Summary
"I don't have a poketch," Cynthia says.
Barry stares. So does Dawn.
"Uh... you're wearing one," Dawn points out.
A novelization of a playthrough of Pokemon Platinum, with some... minor changes.
Dawn and any others coming arrive late to the Spear Pillar. Cynthia arrives early. This would go fine if Cyrus didn't decide to leverage the power of not one but two gods to deal with her, sending Cynthia hurtling a year back in time—with full knowledge of what's going to happen, none of her pokemon, and another version of herself running around that absolutely cannot, under any circumstances, find out what happens early.
Oh, and that Buneary has a knife for some reason. That might be more concerning than the time travel and the whole impending doom thing.

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.
