    Summary

    He hasn’t heard from him in almost a year.

    Hesitant, he says, “Henry?”

    There’s a sniffle. “Alex.”

    Alex’s shoulders go taut with tension; he may not have heard from him in a year and had only seen him in tabloids and the occasional interview or ribbon cutting on a shitty stream that Alex had no business being on, but he hasn’t forgotten Henry’s tells. He hasn’t forgotten the edge to his voice on his dark days; the way it clings to the very molecules of air surrounding him, as if it wishes to seep into every ounce of air he dares breathe in.

    Alex swallows, sets his highlighter down. “Henry,” he says carefully, “what’s going on?”

    -

    Or, a year after Henry tells Alex to leave, he does something unthinkable.

    Summary

    Christine leaves Raoul to return to the Opera. Not because she's in love with her maestro, but for the music, and seeking her own freedom for once in her life.
    At least, that's how it starts.
    (The course of true love never did run smooth.)

    Summary

    Elphaba has nothing to feel guilty about. She did the best she could, she saved him, and together they’ve begun to build from the ground up.

    He could live a thousand and one lifetimes, fix every old mistake and make a million new ones—none of it would mean a thing if he didn’t have her with him. He’s made his choices, and he will choose her every time, in any land or life.

    --

    A Scarecrow, a Witch, and a windy day in the Land of Ix.

    Summary

    There was a forest in the middle of literal nowhere; one that was lush and green and seemingly completely out of place. Chistery pulled on her sleeve and pointed. She blinked. A scarecrow was standing in the front of the forest. It was as if -as if it (he?) was waiting for them.

    A straw hand waved cheerfully at them. "At last!" it - no, he - said. "Come on, she is waiting for you." His brownish-blue eyes looked straight at her. "For you both."
