    Summary

    The Scarecrow notices when Dorothy can’t sleep. He notices, and he talks to her. About little nothings, at first, gradually building into conversations and familiarity.

    Then one night, as if he's been building up to it, he says, very softly, “She's not as wicked as they say.“

    Summary

    By circumstances entirely beyond her control, Dorothy Gale lands in Oz. She's told she's killed a wicked witch. She has magical shoes on her feet that she cannot remove. Her only hope of returning home is to walk for many miles along a yellow brick road, a simple instruction if not incredibly vague. Nothing is fine, but Dorothy straightens her shoulders and pretends for a moment that this is just a normal day with normal happenstances.

    She is alone until she meets the Scarecrow. He is her first friend in Oz. She cherishes him all the more for that.

    Summary

    Elphaba and Fiyero failed to survive that day in Kiamo Ko, but the spell she placed on him would not allow him to die. He returned to his life as a charming prince, years before any pain when life was bliss. Determined, and not insignificantly traumatized, Fiyero Tigelaar would use his second chance to achieve what needed to be done for the good of all.

    Whether it was through political upheaval, exposure of his crimes, or assassination, the Wonderful Wizard of Oz had to be destroyed.

    Summary

    Dorothy Gale has found herself in a strange new world, with a target on her head and some very odd new friends.

    The journey to the Emerald City is long and fraught, and nothing is what it seems.

    This story explores Act II of Wicked, primarily from the POV of the Scarecrow

    (I am making an effort to avoid spoilers in the summary for people just scrolling through. There's a more detailed summary in the Author Notes)

    EDIT--Under slight revisions! Nothing major, and not really anything pulling from the new movie, but...well, I wrote this VERY quickly, and I feel it can be improved slightly.
