Elphaba's last thoughts on her life and how it affected Oz. Musicalverse but includes elements from the book.
It was never a split-second decision. It was a gradual radicalisation that had overwhelmed her, until the final straw snapped that day in the Wizard's palace, leaving her no choice but to follow her truth. My take on the Defying Gravity scene, and how Elphaba got to the point of making such a life-changing decision. Onsehot, musicalverse.
All of Oz has been turned upside down since the rise of the Wicked Witch of the West. Right at the centre of this madness is a group of people, all connected in ways that no outsider would ever expect. If they could cause one huge change in Oz, who's to say they won't do it again? AU from the throne room scene after Wonderful (so no ALAYM). Implied Gelphie, multichap.
