Angst Blood and Injury Torture Sort Of Gelphie scarecrow au Glinda doesn't turn into a scarecrow Because she's not brainless dammit Protective Elphaba Thropp In the first chapter Elphaba crashes tf out Is it really called being evil if you terrorise an entire country and kidnap a little girl when you think your girlfriend is dead? Some heavy Pinocchio inspiration THE CHARACTER DEATH IS TEMPORARY
Summary
Elphaba and Glinda had escaped the Emerald City together. But their situation is precarious. When the two are torn apart, will they be able to find their way back to each other?***Scarecrow au where Glinda faces a similar fate to Fiyero's in the musical
Note
Full disclaimer: I have not watched act 2 of the musical so I only know the outline of events and the few details I do know stem from clips and posts online as well as listening to the songs. So all the changes that may seem like canon divergence? I wouldn't know because I'm clueless about the canon.Fun fact, I looked up 'Wicked Witch of the East' lyrics AFTER I wrote that scene and realised how different it was from what I wrote, but I quite liked what I wrote and I am also too lazy to rewrite it so here you go.Also, I would like to thank @Sirazaroff over on tumblr for her art on the scarecrow au. This idea/au has been marinating in my head ever since I watched the movie, really, or well, ever since I found out the events of act 2 which was soon after I watched the movie. It was so amazing seeing it put into words and art. Also we're working in tandem to torture you, so enjoy that tidbit ;)PS: Do not read this chapter while listening to 'Sweater Weather'TW: torture (towards the end)
