    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

    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.

    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."

    Summary

    Erik pays an unexpected visit to Christine the evening before the premiere of "Don Juan Triumphant." Uncertainties abound. What confessions will pass between them? Will honesty shift the tide of events? It's time for our lovers to breathe and be with one another. ALW-Based, E/C).

    ""The little sounds, Erik?" She pressed him onwards, coming to stand beside him once more. "What do I not hear?" Christine reached for him blindly, her hands trembling as she scraped at the ebony lapels of his coat.

    "Oh, my innocent, little dove, you've never heard the sounds of true suffering, of utter and miserable loneliness; the choking sense of isolation that one can only recognize unless one has been completely alone." He covered her fingers with his hand, cherishing the delicate and sweet feeling of her skin against his palm. "My love…you are far too beautiful to ever fear knowing such misery. You will never hear those sounds. One as precious as yourself will…will never be alone." At that, Erik brought his other hand up to her face, the backs of his knuckles leaving a cold caress against her cheek. Christine came alive at his touch, helpless to deny the desire he brought forth within her."

    Summary

    Oh, she was foolish. She was so, so foolish. Why had she done it? There’d been no need, no need at all. He’d let her go, he’d chosen to let her leave with a man he knew could give her the life she deserved. And yet, she’d found herself going back to find him. Only a week after everything happened, she found herself traveling back to that damp, dark lair, in the vain hopes of finding him there and sorting out the conflicting emotions she felt in her heart.

    Christine had thought that she’d hated him. She had, but then…that kiss. That damned kiss had changed everything, and suddenly, she wasn’t sure anymore.
    --
    They'd both done it. Without still really understanding why they had or where they currently stood, Christine and Erik had committed a most unforgivable act together, and now, they had to do something about it. Despite the one conclusion that they're able to agree on, they both know that the road ahead will surely not be an easy one. Can these two, at last, make sense of their complex feelings for one another and get things sorted? If not solely for their sakes, then their child deserves that much, right?

    Aka the author isn't a huge fan of LND and wanted a proper redo.
