    Summary

    In a universe where Clint and Natasha never joined SHIELD, Loki still managed to compel Clint for the Battle of New York. On the run from the Avengers, Clint and Natasha are trying to pick up the pieces and get back into the swing of international assassination, when they run into the Winter Soldier on a job.

    And then they run into him again. And again. And before you know it, they're playing chase with Captain America, wiping out Hydra, and they might need to take out SHIELD now too.

    Worst of all, Clint has a crush.

    Summary

    Elphaba Thropp was not a woman prone to regret. Anyone who met her could tell you–she lived fully in the moment, eyes fixed firmly on the future she was determined to build by whatever means necessary. Perhaps that’s why it happened the way it did. Because, despite the way she presented herself, Glinda Upland was a woman built by regret. And so it came to be that, on the third day after the Wicked Witch of the West was defeated, two days after the Wizard of Oz left for lands unknown, and one day after Dorothy finally made it home, the Grimmerie opened its pages for Glinda to give her the one thing she truly wanted– a do-over.

    Summary

    "Oh, you absolute motherfucker," said Glinda to no one who could hear her.


    Ten years to the day after the disappearance of Elphaba Thropp, Glinda realizes that it makes absolutely no sense for her to be dead. Now that leaves her with two new problems: How to find her, and how to explain some things to Dorothy.

    Summary

    “The only guarantee you have as a human being is that you’re going to die. It’s up to you whether you see the light or the dark before that happens.”

    Ray Garraty has always followed the rules until one catastrophic mistake erases his entire life. In a world without second chances, one fuck up is all it takes.

    At sixteen, out of options and out of time, Ray is sentenced to Youth Rehabilitation: the government’s silent solution for troublesome boys. No trials. No appeals. No mercy. Just a stamped file and a future decided for him.

    Everyone knows what Youth Rehab does.
    It breaks you.
    It rebuilds you.

    It turns you into something useful to the State.
    Boys go in angry, scared, defiant.
    They come out emptied, sharpened, obedient
    if they come out at all.

    Ray was never supposed to survive it.
    He was never supposed to fight back.
    But some systems don’t realize they’ve made a mistake until it’s already too late.
