Where the River Flows (Always Back to You) by Anonymous

Summary
Glinda remembers the train in all its opulence. The cutest little mustache man and the smoke billowing in plumes around the machine’s emerald bodice.
She remembers the platform. It was packed with their classmates, handpicked by herself to celebrate her Elphie’s departure. They whistled, they cajoled, with signs and well wishes.
Fiyero gave Elphaba a poppy, and Glinda remembers the discomfort that flipped in her stomach. She remembers she ignored it.
But, most of all, Glinda remembers the invitation.
“Come with me.”
And the awkward race along the side of the train.
She remembers Elphaba’s hand in hers, and the warm, tingling feeling that swept through her from head to toe.
She remembers nothing else.
Nothing at all.
But somehow Glinda finds herself pulled from a river in the Southern Quadrant of Oz, an odd, untitled tome in her possession, no Elphaba to be found, and an Oz repeatedly telling her it's been five years since the day she joined Elphaba on that train.
Or Glinda has no memory of the past five years and tries to find her way back to Elphaba, but very little in Oz is how she remembers it.

Seven Years is a long time by fangIrl_246

Summary
Seven years ago, Elphaba and Fiyero faked their deaths and disappeared into exile, leaving Glinda behind to rule Oz alone. Now, they returned.
But Glinda is not the woman they remember. The warmth beneath her smile has vanished, replaced by cold composure, guarded silences, and a distance neither of them knows how to cross. To Oz, she is a beloved ruler. To Elphaba and Fiyero, she is almost a stranger now.
As they are drawn back into her life, they begin to see the cracks beneath the perfect image: a child, they didn't know about, a worsening illness, carefully buried secrets, and seven years of pain Glinda refuses to name.
They came back expecting to find the woman they left behind. Instead, they find someone who learned how to survive without them.

Summary
“I think most omegas should be lucky to experience their alpha’s rut so early after being wed,” Michaela said, “so they know what they’re getting into.”
Francesca looked up at her. “And what do you think you’re getting into?”
Or: Francesca and Michaela are newlyweds who meet their first fork in the road when, just after tying the knot, Francesca's rut is upon them. They head into the country to wait it out... but will the mild-mannered alpha Michaela knows so well be the same alpha she has to help through their rut?

Summary
“You do know that this would be a scandal, right?” Her green lips formed a smirk that irritated the blonde further, scowling as she jabbed a finger on her chest, “A scandal?! The scandal here is you dancing with me! We are both women!” Elphaba had never thought a voice could be that shrill until she met Glinda. Another laugh escapes her lips, her slender fingers wrapping around the delicate wrist that belonged to the blonde.
“Miss Upland,” she drawls, leaning close to her ear, “I am to be a duke. Not a duchess, but a duke. I am a bachelor like every young man there. I danced with you because I had every intention to court you to fulfill my duty to my family. This is a scandal because we are unchaperoned and alone.”

Summary
Side by side, it had become abundantly clear to Glinda: the boy belonged to Elphaba.
It was in his nose, his lips, his hair, and what would’ve somewhat been her complexion had she not turned out so perfectly green.
But his eyes.Those weren’t Elphaba’s.
“Elphaba Thropp,” she repeated, drawing her hand to her chest, “That boy has my eyes—my popsicles eyes.”
OR
Seven years since Defying Gravity.
Seven years since emerald and chocolate eyes met.
Seven years since betrayal and heartbreak took root.Yet, when the opening of the Yellow Brick Road forces Galinda's ‘engagement’ to Fiyero into the spotlight, something impossible happens:
Elphaba returns—with a secret large (yet, adorably tiny) enough to change her fate in Oz.
For good.

Summary
“Galinda!”, Elphaba interrupted her tumbling thoughts, stopping her pacing by grabbing hold of her hands again. “Why is your sexual history suddenly so important?”
Galinda huffed. “Well, alright”, she relented. “I will say it, just…” She hesitated, nervous. Terribly nervous because– “I needed to be sure you knew. And that you were ready.”
“I’m ready, sweetheart”, Elphaba promised, just the slightest bit exasperated but staying ever gentle. “Whatever it is, you can tell me.”
Galinda looked away from her wonderful face, bracing herself, her conflicting emotions of joy and anxiety making her eyes water as she hoped ever so dearly for the best. She squeezed her beloved’s hands, met her eyes once more and finally confessed:“I’m pregnant.”

Summary
“Finish it, my sweet” Elphaba murmured, nudging the sandwich a fraction closer to her wife's lips.
“I am, I am,” Glinda protested weakly, taking another bite. She looked up at Elphaba with those big brown doe eyes, fluttering her eyelashes just so. “See? Obedient.”
Elphaba’s neck flushed briefly. She would not let her concern be brushed off by dirty tactics, much less in front of the Palace's staff.
“Highly debatable,” Elphaba said dryly.
The guard, to his credit, became extremely interested in a perfectly ordinary patch of wall just over the secure door’s frame. Sound travelled more than you’d think in this part of the Palace, and thus he had long ago perfected the art of hearing everything and reacting to nothing. Ever. At all.
(Or: their sickeningly sweet love as seen through the eyes of everyone around them.)

Summary
“Your son is perfectly perfect,” Glinda whispers softly.
“When he’s sleeping, maybe,” Elphaba teases. Still, her green eyes are soft, glancing at him.
“Oh, always,” Glinda argues, hand cupping Liir’s soft, round cheek. He’s so precisely and exactly like Elphaba. “Always, always.”
Or: Completely self-indulgent family fluff, featuring Gelphie as gay moms, Fiyero as a very involved third-wheel father, and, of course, everyone’s best boy Liir.

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.

Yet another post-canon fix it with added angst because i refuse to accept the end of Wicked.
i have a very bad habit of not posting fics until i have a substantial number of chapters written and then mass posting them until i run out of chapters and then i hyper fixate for 48 hours and write a bunch more so updates will be wildly unpredictable xoBookmarked by Winterof86

Summary
In the midst of her grief Galinda's magic presents itself for the first time and sends her into the past to the day she met Elphaba. It's her chance to fix things, but something else is different this time. Where do they go from here?
~~
“I’m sorry.”
The words came out choked and she didn’t know what she had intended to follow them so any other words that might have been said died on her tongue. It was startlingly close to what she had said last time, though the meaning behind the words couldn’t be more different. Unfortunately, she knew immediately that though she felt completely changed on the inside, they came out in a remarkably similar tone to the last time as well.
She saw Elphaba’s eyes harden slightly and knew they had been received in the same way. Sorry you are like this. Sorry you’ve had to deal with being such a freak.
Galinda longed to let the rest of her words spill out into the open to try and make her understand.
I’m sorry I failed you. I’m sorry I didn’t see you immediately last time. I’m sorry I didn’t go with you when you asked. I’m sorry I never told you how loved you are.

Summary
This can’t be happening, Elphaba thinks, as she hears the gun discharge, the sharp crack cutting through the air like a knife. It’s a beautiful day, an unfairly beautiful day for violence. It's already been a terrible day too, and she never thought it could any worse. But Elphaba knows, deep in her heart, what is going to happen. There's no time to prevent it, even if her mind was thinking fast enough. Fiyero is too close. His aim is steady. His time in the Gale Force has taught him to be a weapon against the Wizard’s enemies. But he has never been a killer. Not until today, when he’s stressed from trying to figure out how to keep them all safe and his palms are sweaty and his finger slips.
The bullet launches itself from the barrel of his gun, embedding itself in Glinda's chest.
Or: while trying to protect Elphaba, Fiyero accidentally pulls the trigger. As they flee to Kiamo Ko with an injured Glinda in tow, Elphaba and Fiyero have to find a way to heal her and protect her from her enemies. And in the process, they need to set the record straight on a few things.
