Summary
“You say you want forgiveness…” Glinda’s voice drops, precise and low, cutting cleanly through her thoughts. “Is that all you really want from me?”
Elphaba swallows thickly, “I—I just…I didn’t mean to hurt you, I—”
“That’s not what I asked,” Glinda murmurs, quiet but unyielding, her thumb softly but deliberately stroking the skin beneath her cheekbone. “What is it you really want?”After 'As Long As You’re Mine', instead of a vision of Nessa, Elphaba has a devastating vision of Glinda’s breakdown mid-heartbreak and is compelled to go make things right. Canon fix-It of sorts.

Summary
“Oh. Oz,” Galinda breathes, taking a step forward. “You’re me. Future me.” Grass crunches under her feet. “Do you have any advice for the you of eleven years ago?”
“I will give you only one piece of advice. Any more, and I’m afraid of what might happen,” Glinda tells her, and Galinda sits up straighter, rapt. Glinda’s face hardens, steels. She scowls into the darkness of the woods around them.
“Stay away from Elphaba Thropp.”
Or: On the night of her nineteenth birthday, Galinda bungles a spell and winds up in touch with an older version of herself. Glinda the Good leaves her with a single piece of advice. Galinda has some trouble taking it.

Summary
I waited so long for love
and suddenly, here it is
standing in the garden, hands full
of heirlooms hot from the sun.Soon we’ll make a supper of them.
Salted slabs between slices of bread.
Your beard silvers. My hips ripen.
The mail piles up.Phone calls go unanswered. Forgive us.
Our mouths are full of tomatoes.
We are so busy
being small and hungry and alive.- Joy Sullivan
