Summary
Castle Blackspire. An alternative perspective of a familiar scene; the start of an alternate version of everything that followed.
This is a very brief introduction to what's become an increasingly ambitious story, one that's gradually evolved from a (relatively) simple relationship plot to one re-anchored in the bigger action narrative and themes in S3 and S4. I was going to go back and tack it onto the start of the first work in the series, Defying Gravity. When I tried that, though, I didn't like what it did to the chapter formatting. So, here 'tis.

Summary
What if the events in Castle Blackspire had gone slightly differently? How much ripple effect does one choice have?
The first of what's planned as a five-part series. Canon up until almost the very end of "Will You Play With Me?" Then, increasingly, not. Centered around a developing Q/E relationship and character development, with an AU version of S4's greater crises rumbling in the background.
*No, the title has nothing to do with "Wicked."10/6/19: I added a prologue, then decided it still needs work and took it down again, at least for the time being. Sorry for any confusion.
10/28/19 Added prologue as separate entry in the series instead. (Didn't love what tacking it on as an earlier chapter here did to the formatting).

Summary
Magic needed to be restored, and the monster needed to be kept away from the rest of the universe. Quentin always wondered if he was too soft to fulfill this quest, and it's only just now occurring them all, that being soft might be the only thing that gets them through this.

Summary
“I don’t know, Jules.” Quentin ran a hand down the front of the shirt. “This doesn’t feel like… me.”
Julia sat beside him on the bed, nudging their arms together. “Is that a bad thing? Maybe being someone else for a night will be just the thing to get you out of this rut.”
Maybe she had a point. He didn’t feel like himself. He was too… detached from who he thought he was. Maybe a change would help put things in perspective. It was worth a try anyway.
