    Summary

    "Reading about the witch evading capture yet again is hardly the sort of news the public wants. A romantic outing for Oz’s favorite couple, on the other hand…”

    “But,” Glinda protests weakly, “they saw us together at the press briefing just yesterday. I showed off my ring to that photographer from Ozmopolitan.

    Morrible smiles. It is a grim thing, inhuman in a most off putting sort of way, teeth too white and lips curled too widely in the early morning air. Glinda would recoil only she’s trying quite hard not to show her hand, these days. “You love him, don’t you?”

    Glinda nods. There is a terrible knot in her throat, she swallows around it but it only grows.

    “Then act like it.”

    Summary

    “Do you remember Madame Morrible and her awful Prop and Ganda department? Well, I figured that I could put them to actual good use. And so I did a little image rehabilification.”

    “A little?”

    Glinda twirls a strand of blonde hair around her finger, not meeting her eyes. “Tiny. Microscopical. Infinitesimal. Just a whisper of a coordinated multiyear plan involving publicists, historians, theater troupes, and a very spirited group of fans.”

    Elphaba blinks.

    Glinda smiles sweetly.

    “Elphaba,” she says gently, “darling—to come back from a smear campaign, you simply must have good press.”


    Or, Elphaba spends ten years being dead. Oz spends ten years falling in love with her. She did not request a redemption arc, let alone one so exuberant.
