    Summary

    ˗ˏˋ — ‧₊˚- ᓀ ᵥ ᓂ - ˚₊‧ — ˎˊ˗.

    Odysseus of Ithaca, his family by his side. A family more loving than the one the gods were born into. And is that not tragic? They are supposed to be more than humans in every way and yet, somehow, this is the part where they’ve failed. Laud to them, the mightiest of all: divine and powerful and above all mortal, ageless and holy and fated to be great. Laud to them, the mightiest of all: a father who struck down his child and her siblings who stood by and did nothing but watch. What does it mean, to be a god? He does not have an answer.

    ˗ˏˋ — ‧₊˚- ᓀ ᵥ ᓂ - ˚₊‧ — ˎˊ˗.

    Faintly, Apollo realises that Athena does not think of her family as she dies – but of a mortal man and his wife and son; of a carved wooden owl and olive trees; of an infant in her arms and bright smiles.

    ˗ˏˋ — ‧₊˚- ᓀ ᵥ ᓂ - ˚₊‧ — ˎˊ˗.

    (or: Gods are complex beings. That does not mean being siblings means nothing- not when their sister is suffering their fathers wrath. It is wrong: they will not stop it. All they can do is collect what's left in the aftermath, and pray that it may heal.)

    Summary

    Then, Elphaba pulls a single poppy free from her bouquet. A tiny thing, so small and so lonely, now clasped in Elphaba’s left forefinger and thumb. Smile shy, glasses tipping down her nose as she holds it forward.

    “For you, Miss Galinda,” she says gently, the words pulling her smile wider to show the shine of her teeth beneath.

    And Galinda cannot help the way her heart stutters in her chest at the delicate gesture. Her hands shake as reaches out, plucks the flower free of Elphaba’s grasp and spins it slowly between her own fingers. The white petals swirl, stem wet and so soft against her skin, and she brings the flower to her nose.

    “Thank you…”

    Summary

    But Glinda must know. She counts to three in her head before she opens her eyes.

    And well, she can’t help the gasp that escapes her.

    “Elphie.”

    It surely has to be a ghost. Because there is no way that Elphaba Thropp is sitting on her favorite lounge chair, looking as green as she ever has.

     

    ...in which Glinda the Good Witch has created the Oz they imagined all those years ago, and Elphaba can't stay away any longer.
