Summary
Time seemed to move slowly, and yet, Elphaba continued to stand, waiting for the night to end. She heard a clock somewhere strike the tenth hour, and she wondered idly if perhaps her companions would agree to leave by the twelfth, when the music ceased. People’s loud conversations became whispers, as they all turned their heads to look up at the top of the ballroom’ staircase.
The witch followed their gaze, and her heart stilled. She stopped breathing. Because there she was. There, at the top of the stairs. Standing. Beautiful. Alive. Elphaba trembled at the sight.
Or
Three hundred years after the melting, Elphaba and Glinda are reunited by accident at a ball. It doesn't go well.

Summary
“What do you mean?” Glinda raised an eyebrow, ready to dismiss the child’s suggestion.
“A spell to reveal the truth.”
The witch scoffed.
“I already know the truth. I’ve seen the truth with my own eyes.”
She had watched it happen. She had been there, crying alone in that closet when that farm girl had thrown the bucket. Her Elphie had melted right in front of her, and Glinda had stood there unable to do anything.
For as long as she lived, Glinda would never forget the way Elphaba had screamed. That piercing, pain filled sound. She had died in agony. Glinda didn't need a spell to tell her that.
“It can't hurt.” Ozma shrugged. “Look, if I’m wrong, we can try this again.”
Or
The first one hundred years Glinda spent without Elphaba.
The Glinda prequel to Of Wild Witches and Magic Wands that can be read independently.

Summary
“So you two are friends again, huh? Like no time has passed.”
That was too good an opportunity to pass up, so the blonde snaked an arm around her beloved’s waist.
“Well, actually…” Glinda gave Fiyero a suggestive look in lieu of an explanation.
Elphaba glared at her in response, but Glinda would rather make things clear between all of them, so that everyone — especially Fiyero — knew where they stood.
Or
A short sequel to Of Wild Witches and Magic Wands. Baba Yaga and her sweet Fairy Godmother share a little magic date when Fiyero crashes in. Glinda takes the opportunity to unpack her issues.
Elphaba wants nothing to do with any of this, but she made the choice to date a high maintenance diva and must live with the consequences.
Or
Jealous Glinda
