    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.

    Summary

    What if Simon was trapped in a time loop?

    “Convict! Everything alright? Is the sub okay?”

    “Is this a test?” Simon asks, voice wavering. The pause hangs heavy for a moment. The depth meter drops. The SM-13 groans under the weight and pressure of the blood around it. Simon’s eyes dart from the porthole to the intercom.

    “This is the first time this sub has been used, yes.” Ava says finally. “Why? Everything holding up alright? I assure you the weld is—”

    “A test for me. Me." he jabs a nervous thumb against his sternum, leaning toward the speaker, pleading, as if she can see him. As if that would make any difference. “Am I being tested? Is this some C.O.I. thing? Some kind of sick rehab?”

    “...if you want to see it that way. Just… finish this and you'll have your freedom.”

    Simon swallows hard, turning back to the controls he's learned so well, cobwebs of fear prickling in the back of his mind. A question flits through his thoughts that he doesn't dare vocalize.

    What did I do to deserve this?
