    Summary

    On her best days, Glinda thinks that this is the kind of Oz Elphaba always wanted.

    But only on her best days. Because on her worst days, all she feels is the slow drip of all her drive and enthusiasm fading away. Without anger and ferocity, it’s much easier for despair to consume her. On her worst days, she finds herself aching for Elphaba. The smell of parchment and pine and magic start to fade from the hat, and Glinda aches at the thought of what she’ll do when she loses it entirely.

    All she’s done means nothing if Elphaba can’t be here to see it. It means nothing if Glinda lost her along the way.

    It’s what she deserves. She knows that every day, good and bad. But she yearns for Elphie all the same.

     

    or, months after the Witch's death, Glinda sets out to look for her again

    Summary

    “How old are you?”
    “What do you care?” is the hostile reply.
    “Because I don’t remember agreeing to hire kids on the cleaning team.”
    Peter Parker takes another bite of his sandwich and says, around a full mouth: “I’m just here for my community sentence.”
    “Huh,” Tony says. “Why?”
    “I spray painted ‘superheroes should go fuck themselves’ on the side of this building. Got caught.”
    “Better luck next time, then. Were you in my lab yesterday?”
    “I was in several labs,” says the kid dismissively.
    “Did you mess with my calculations?”
    “I corrected them, if that’s what you mean. Today is my last day, and the thought of leaving them up like that, half-assed, gave me angina. So, yeah, sue me.”

    It’s the aftermath which is proving more difficult.

     

    Or: Nancy Wheeler loses a boyfriend, gains a best friend, goes to a metal show, smokes a joint, kisses someone she shouldn't, and maybe, just maybe, falls in love. Not necessarily in that order.

    OR: Nancy Wheeler has a prolonged sexuality crisis and Robin, Eddie, and Steve are there too.

    Summary

    Phasma purses her lips. Rey realizes with some discomfort that she has a light dusting of freckles across her skin, darkest and most concentrated over the bridge of her nose. She is chrome and chrome and then flesh, and try as she might, Rey cannot reconcile the two; she can’t look Phasma in the eye and think of her as evil, nor can she look at Phasma’s armor and think of her as human.
