The Land of What Might-Have-Been (Fanfic)	comment	The Land of What Might-Have-Been by Straightjacketed is an alternate version of Wicked, starting during Glinda and Elphaba's final conversation in Kiamo Ko and progressing from there as a dimensional rift caused by Elphaba's unstable magic sends the two witches, Dorothy, Toto, Chistery and Dorothy's companions into an alternate universe, fifty years in their future. With Dorothy's companions lost in the wilderness, Elphaba is stuck with Dorothy in the "Deviant Nations" ruled by Glinda's counterpart, while Glinda finds herself taken to the kingdom of Unbridled Radiance, a kingdom focused on the idea that beauty equals goodness to the point of forcing that view on everyone... ruled by the now-insane Elphaba Thropp, the "Radiant Empress", given a normal complexion and virtual immortality at the cost of being driven utterly insane. As Glinda is captured by the Empress, Elphaba and Dorothy find themselves in the "custody" of the Great Mentor — Glinda's own counterpart, leading to Elphaba being dragged into the war against her other self.

The Land of What Might-Have-Been (Fanfic) / int_11a74598	comment	Became Their Own Antithesis: Flashbacks reveal how the Empress basically became worse than the Wizard's most extreme authority, ordering the surgical "correction" on the disfigured and enforcing Purification on everyone judged 'deserving' in the name of making Oz what she thinks it 'should' be, arguing that the Wizard's actions were only crimes because they defied beauty where she is bringing it out in her people. She goes so far as to execute the Flying Monkeys and turn them into the Vigilant Eyes because they're "ugly", ignoring Chistrey's pleas for mercy. When Glinda first sees the Purified, even while acknowledging that humans and Animals are equals, she reflects that the Animals seem more like taxidermy trophies than anything living and breathing, and is certain the true Elphaba would never have wanted this.

As soon as her initiation is over, she quickly grows to enjoy the weird sensations associated with using her new shapeshifting powers, finding the process of altering her size, shape, age, gender, and species a thrilling experience. And that's before she gets to the fun of actually putting these different shapes to practical use.

Unfortunately for the Empress, she makes the mistake of turning her back on him - only for him to shoot her in the back with a cannon loaded with poison darts; she retaliates by magically incinerating him, which is enough to finally put him down for good.

As such, she believes that Elphaba is an impostor created by the Great Mentor for some reason and continues to fixate on that even when fighting (by proxy) with Elphaba; ultimately, she drops the skepticism after Elphaba starts revealing a few too many personal details during the battle.

The Land of What Might-Have-Been (Fanfic) / int_14d633ed	comment	If I Wanted You Dead...: Elphaba basically invokes this when she first realises that Doctor Kiln is Boq's counterpart; while her dream-memories so far only cover up to Boq joining her counterpart in the Pottery, considering that Kiln has been the Mentor's personal physician for decades she can be sure that he's not working for the Empress now because he could have easily killed the Mentor years ago if he was on her side. After returning to Oz, most of the Ozians donâ€™t seriously believe that Elphaba has brainwashed Dorothy and her friends on the grounds that the Witchâ€™s enchanted servants would have just killed the guards upon their arrival rather than knocking the guards out.

The Land of What Might-Have-Been (Fanfic) / int_16dda55f	comment	Simple Solution Won't Work: When research confirms that killing the Empress would essentially allow her to "possess" Elphaba due to dimensional sync, Elphaba initially speculates if they could use that to their advantage if she killed herself to possess the Empress. Kiln notes that it's not impossible that such a plan could work, but based on available research in cases of dimensional synch the native incarnation appears to be stronger than the newcomer in terms of synch resistance, so it's possible that nothing would happen.

While being fed on in Chapter 71, Elphaba loses her age, her powers and even her green skin tone... but as soon as Dorothy is able to knock Morrible out, the power she was drinking is immediately regurgitated, allowing Elphaba to reabsorb it and return to normal.

The Land of What Might-Have-Been (Fanfic) / int_175163cb	comment	Transferable Memory: A side-effect of dimensional displacement is that people start experiencing dreams of their other selves if two versions of the same person are in one reality. As a result, Elphaba, Glinda, Dorothy, Fiyero, Boq and the Lion all start dreaming of their counterparts' lives even before they actually meet or recognise their other selves directly (although in Fiyero's case his counterpart died before Fiyero learned he was in another reality). Later on, Elphaba learns how to share memories with others while travelling through parallel dimensions (aided by the Nome King). This allows her to show parts of her past to an alternate version of her mother, and later helps her stop the Hate-Creature and the Empress by bombarding them with her own memories.

The Land of What Might-Have-Been (Fanfic) / int_1994ba0b	comment	The Childlike Researchers are afflicted with a condition that frequently causes their physical age to randomly oscillate, thanks to a botched attempt to imbue themselves with eternal youth. Elderly scientists and mages at the time of the incident, they haven't aged at all in the last forty to fifty years, but unfortunately, they've spent most of that time being teenagers, children, and even infants. Worse still, the humiliating treatments inflicted upon them by their jailers is eroding their adult minds, reducing them to immortal child prodigies with no memory of anything other than their unique skills. However, Dr Kiln believes that, if given less repressive caretakers, they might be able to consciously control their conditions and retain their memories.

Basically applies to the Hellion in the flashbacks of her origin, as the mage-scientists' efforts to Purify her wiped all conscious memory of her identity while leaving her with some recollection of the magic she learned from watching her interrogators.

She explains that Alphaba used the Grimmere to complete this particular procedure, but afterwards she was never able to replicate the circumstances and spells exactly and had to fall back on the more â€˜standardâ€™ purification. Plans to kill the Empress reach a point where the only potential plans they have will only have one chance to attempt, as once Alphaba knows what they're trying she'll never let herself be in a position to be attacked like that again.

The Land of What Might-Have-Been (Fanfic) / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: Several elements are set up in Chapters 70-71 that suddenly become useful in Chapter 74: Elphaba learns how to project memories and share them with others courtesy of Roquat the Nome King. Later, she is able to use this power to turn Alphaba's children against her by revealing all the horrible things that their mother did to them in the dream-memories. Throughout Elphaba's journey through the void, Roquat is continuously reciting inexplicable series of numbers for every dimension they visit. Later, when given access to Dr Lintel's dimensional gateway, she realizes that these were actually co-ordinates for the worlds - allowing her to use the portal to her advantage in the battle that follows - heavily implying that Roquat was deliberately giving Elphaba hints that would give her an advantage over the Empress. Chapter 71 ends with Roquat deciding to remain a passenger inside Elphaba's mind for the foreseeable future, then erasing her memory of their encounter so she won't try to remove him. In chapter 74, the Empress is able to paralyze Elphaba and eventually render her unconscious unwittingly allowing Roquat to temporarily seize control of Elphaba's body and deliver some Extreme MÃªlÃ©e Revenge before Elphaba regains control.

The Amorphous League are noted to be particularly vulnerable to fire, as burns are one of the few things their shapeshifting abilities won't just heal.

When the Scarecrow reveals his identity as Fiyero, he recalls hearing the words of the spell Elphaba was chanting at the start of "No Good Deed".

While the Empress is still more powerful than Elphaba, both of them starting the fight at their peak and prepared for such a bout allows Elphaba to withstand the Empress's initial assault and provoke her into a rage where the more powerful witch will make mistakes and let Elphaba get past her defences.

However, it's possible to get stuck in one form in this first shapeshifting session, and recruits who can't - or won't - work up the willingness to change again will die once the potion wears off and their body starts changing back of its own accord. Glinda briefly ends up stuck in this state when she joins the League, being trapped in Elphaba's form due to various psychological hang-ups and her lack of self-worth, and it takes a pep-talk from the real Elphaba to help her complete her metamorphosis. Overdosing on the League's potion causes the victim to experience the much-sought-after state of Shapelessness, but without the ability to control it, eventually causing them to melt down into inert liquid. Worse still, the lack of sensory stimuli will eventually cause the unfortunate victim to lose all sense of self, leaving them effectively brain-dead. This is weaponized against the Empress to overwhelm her Healing Factor, rendering her into a liquid that can be kept in a pressurized can until her mind goes bye-bye.

Dorothy spends a huge chunk of the story being put through the wringer as a result of the Hellion's obsession with her, starting off by essentially being paralyzed and ending by having to sacrifice herself to save Elphaba. She gradually recovers once she starts learning how to defend herself. Dr Kiln is this throughout: if something ghastly has to happen, he'll usually be on the receiving end of it. Among other things, he gets shot through the glider wings, falls several hundred feet, is forced to lead Elphaba on a merry chase across Loamlark, gets accidentally drugged and sent on a massive trip, is reduced to paddling around an underground lake on a raft made of corpses, is raked over the coals by Elphaba on numerous occasions, and usually ends up saddled with patients who don't feel like listening to him. In Chapter 66, the Empress burns him alive, and the only way he manages to extinguish himself is by flinging himself out the window and tumbling down the roof for several hundred feet before landing in a heap of broken limbs. And then Dr Coil comes along and asks if he can eat him. He survives, but he's left both exasperated and in considerable pain.

Unlike the Purified, they aren't actually immortal, but they can expand their lifespans by several decades: Dr Kiln is more than hale enough to fight on the front lines and keep pace with Elphaba, even though as the alternate Boq he's revealed to be as old as the Mentor herself. He's still alive in the Distant Finale, over eighty years in the future, likely putting him well over a hundred and thirty years of age. The Amorphous League practices a brand of shapeshifting so powerful that they eventually transcend all notions of a Shapeshifter Default Form and enter a Nirvana-like state of being known as "Shapelessness." It's implied that this brings with it an in-built resistance to aging or perhaps even outright immortality, as the First of the Shapeless AKA the alternate Cowardly Lion is still active with no signs of decay more than fifty years after founding the League. In the Distant Finale, he's still alive and kicking alongside Dr Kiln and the alternate Nessa. Subverted when it comes to the children of League members: though it is possible for them to inherit their parent's abilities, they don't inherit any kind of longevity; indeed, almost all children who have manifested shapeshifting powers have reportedly ended up dying young. It's for this reason why the League refuses to institute hereditary membership, but also why the First of the Shapeless has decided not to start a family of his own. Instead, he becomes a surrogate father to the Empress when she is reborn as a baby shapeshifter at the very end of the story. The Childlike Researchers are afflicted with a condition that frequently causes their physical age to randomly oscillate, thanks to a botched attempt to imbue themselves with eternal youth. Elderly scientists and mages at the time of the incident, they haven't aged at all in the last forty to fifty years, but unfortunately, they've spent most of that time being teenagers, children, and even infants. Worse still, the humiliating treatments inflicted upon them by their jailers is eroding their adult minds, reducing them to immortal child prodigies with no memory of anything other than their unique skills. However, Dr Kiln believes that, if given less repressive caretakers, they might be able to consciously control their conditions and retain their memories.

First, becoming shapeshifters made them criminals under the Radiant Laws for "crimes against beauty." Second, the potion that gives them their powers runs the risk of reducing the drinkers to paralyzed goo if they overdose. Thirdly, it takes a lot of time to improve their abilities. Fourth, continuous use of the potion gradually erodes features, sexual characteristics, and even physical identity.note On the plus side, the most experienced of the League members eventually achieve "Shapelessness" in which they no longer need potion, attain virtual immortality, and exist in a state of endless transformation unless they need to take a specific form... but the First of the Shapeless reveals that there's a sting in the tail: shapeshifters can easily change sex and are fully capable of fathering children or getting pregnant - but most of the children will be incapable of shapeshifting, and those that can shapeshift tend to die young. It's for this reason that the First has decided not to start a family.

Unlike the Purified, they aren't actually immortal, but they can expand their lifespans by several decades: Dr Kiln is more than hale enough to fight on the front lines and keep pace with Elphaba, even though as the alternate Boq he's revealed to be as old as the Mentor herself. He's still alive in the Distant Finale, over eighty years in the future, likely putting him well over a hundred and thirty years of age.

The Land of What Might-Have-Been (Fanfic) / int_504a1991	type	Body Horror
The Land of What Might-Have-Been (Fanfic) / int_504a1991	comment	Body Horror: Both sides subject themselves to various gruesome experiments to make their bodies match their philosophies, but at least everything done to the subjects of the Deviant Nations is done with the full consent of the relevant parties; Unbridled Radiance forces their surgery onto people even if they don't actually want it, to the point of surgically changing their brains while the procedure is taking place, and one constant element of the process involves literally tearing off the subject's skin. Also applies to the Hellion; her precise origin was not revealed until Chapter 52, but she was introduced as a skinless humanoid being, with tusks for teeth, six arms and no legs, a voice that seems to change as she speaks, and capable of hovering through the air. The Plague of Transformations, a case of a Forced Transformation turned viral by the Radiant Empress, results in several unfortunate cases of this. In one case, Shenshen and Pfanee end up getting merged together into a writhing ball of flesh, and in another, Rostov Branderstove is permanently transformed into a giant octopus/human hybrid. It's revealed that one of the many reasons why the Tin Man is so irrational is that his brains are starting to corrode, requiring him to get nickel plated to protect himself from rust; Kiln also speculates that he suffered minor brain damage as his body was deprived of oxygen for a few moments between his heart being removed and his transformation into his current state.

In a reality where Elphaba and Glinda met the Phantom of the Opera, Elphaba notes that the Diva Carlotta didnâ€™t deserve what Erik did to her, as Carlotta was just vain and arrogant but never did anything truly bad to anyone.

Later Elphaba is shown contemplating the list of spells required for her to create a new human body and safely transfer Fiyero's consciousness from his Scarecrow body into the new one.

The Land of What Might-Have-Been (Fanfic) / int_52a7e035	comment	DoppelgÃ¤nger Gets Same Sentiment: At least suggested for the Hellion; seeing Toto is one of the few things that makes the Hellion pause for any time, almost certainly motivated by her own residual memories of her version of Toto, even though his elderly counterpart died in the disaster that transformed her into her current state. Elphaba coming to this reality is the reason the Mistress of Mirrors- the alternate version of Nessa- chooses to end her neutrality, as she would rather the monster that her sister has become be defeated by the woman she once was if anyone has to do it. Later, when Elphaba visits another reality, she meets a version of Melena Thropp, her long-deceased mother, Elphaba taking time to assure Melena that she did the right thing giving her version of Elphaba away, and also takes steps to prevent this Melena dying under the same circumstances that led to her own mother dying while giving birth to Nessa. For Melena's part, after seeing flashes of Elphaba's life, she assures her alternate daughter that her counterpart would be proud of the woman Elphaba's become. Basically deconstructed in Elphaba's final talk with Frexspar, the Wizard and Dillamond's personalities in Paragon when they ask her to delete them; as they point out, they aren't the versions of them that Elphaba actually has issues with, and she already achieved as much closure with their counterparts as she could.

In the present, he's the commander of a mercenary company known as the Strangling Coils, and thanks to mutations induced by the Plague of Transformations, he's even bigger - to the point that his men call him "The Leviathan."

By the end of Chapter 73, she gets so enraged that she ends up biting off her own lip, and doesn't realize it until she notices that everyone in the room is staring at her in horror. Fortunately for her, the Empress has the advantage of incredible regenerative powers, but that just results in her continuously biting open her own lip as her mood worsens, regenerating it every time.

Unable to cure this condition, the Empress began dosing Elarose and Essella with a diluted version of Morrible's botched immortality serum, regressing them to childhood so they could retain their youth while she continued looking for a cure. However, it's also revealed that the Empress has since begun using this as a means of controlling them, not only regressing her daughters when they start growing up again, but every time they grow rebellious or express an opinion that she disapproves of. By the time Elphaba finds them, Elarose and Essella have been imprisoned in a Gilded Cage for decades, but still look like they're only nine years old and believe that they've only been confined for a week.

The Land of What Might-Have-Been (Fanfic) / int_71e8a5c5	comment	Trauma Conga Line: Glinda ends up getting captured by Unbridled Radiance early in the story, and over the course of the next few chapters, is stabbed in the chest by Alphaba, almost vivisected, rescued for a terrifying journey through the Deep Sepulchre, forced to kill two people, and nearly killed by the Champion before finally being rescued by Elphaba. And afterwards, she's left grappling with a great deal of trauma and self-doubt. Dorothy doesn't do too well either: she gets chased down by the Hellion and temporarily paralyzed before being saved by the Irredeemables, then she narrowly avoids getting blown up when the palace is bombed, and begins suffering frequent nightmares as a result of the Hellion's attack on her. Then, after the Hellion starts attacking towns in an attempt to force the Mentor to hand Dorothy over, she develops paranoid streak, gets addicted to dream pills as a means of escaping her nightmares, and resorts to hiding in air ducts, getting bitten by spiders several times in the process. And then she hands herself over to the Hellion to save Elphaba's life. Dorothy's counterpart has it even worse. In the space of a single day, Toto, Aunt Em, Uncle Henry are killed, Kansas is scorched off the map, and Dorothy herself is flayed alive and mutated by portal radiation, before finally being yanked off Earth and into Oz - before being left alone, horribly wounded and in agonizing pain. And this is how the Hellion was born.

As time goes on, Elphaba becomes so attached to Dorothy that Glinda observes that she's basically acting parental to the young girl. After the war ends, while the Nome King refers to Elphaba as Dorothy's "best friend", Leoverus explicitly refers to Dorothy as essentially Elphaba's surrogate daughter.

After Elphaba discovers the vault where Alphaba's daughters have been hidden for years, the Empress is unable to come up with a proper explanation for why Elphaba is dangerous when she's been with the girls for almost an hour and done nothing to harm them while assuring them of their importance where the Empress never spent more than a few minutes with them at a time because she allegedly had more important things to do.

Even when the Mentor ultimately accepts that there is no parasite, the Empress is outraged when the Mentor refers to her as "Elphie". The Mentor explicitly states at one point that she considers Glinda dead even though she is Glinda. Boq's counterpart was given a new identity as 'Mr Heart' when he started working with Elphaba, and went so far as to create a fake corpse of himself to fake Boq's death, outright stating "Good riddance" once he has officially declared himself dead. However, by the present he has defected to the Deviant Nations and shows some sympathy for the Tin Man, encouraging him to work on his past rather than condemning his past self's msitakes. Dorothy and Fiyero's counterparts have literally lost all memory of their original lives, as the Hellion was traumatised and subjected to various enchantments while the Champion was heavily brainwashed. The First of the Amorphous League reveals that he is the counterpart of the Cowardly Lion, but explicitly states that he has changed too much to still be identified by his original name of Brr, requesting that he be referred to as 'First of the Amorphous League', 'First', or Leoverus (the last being his most constant alias), although he still has a friendly talk with the Lion about their lives.

Codenamed "The Pottery" and hidden in the sewers of the Emerald City, it recruited scientists and magicians exclusively from the fringes of Ozian society, including a huge number of disenfranchised Animals, with the alternate Boq being hired as an apprentice. In the present-day setting, the Childlike Researchers are a secret society of immortal child prodigies employed by Unbridled Radiance to research new forms of technology and magic for the betterment of the empire. They're so secret that the members are kept hidden away in an underground bunker beneath the Radiant Empress's palace when they're not on official business.

When the Mentor witnessed the death of her son, Allaran, after they were captured by Unbridled Radiance, the surgeon who had been operating on Allaran just declared that her son's death was Glinda's own fault for not correcting Allaran's 'distortion' (he was going to be unusually tall) when he was born. Even decades after Elphaba became the Empress, Morrible still refuses to accept her own responsibility for the Empressâ€™s madness, proclaiming that Elphaba keeps screwing up what should be a â€œmutual opportunity for profitâ€� when that would require Elphaba to accept her mind being tampered with (although some of this can be justified as Morribleâ€™s nature as one of the Childlike Researchers causes her to regress in age and maturity).

The Land of What Might-Have-Been (Fanfic) / int_a5c29c9c	comment	Persecuted Intellectuals: Unbridled Radiance, despite insisting on the beauty of intelligence, does not allow intellectual liberties to its citizens, forces its artistic community to labour under ruthless censorship laws, and frequently punishes scientists who uncover facts that contradict official doctrine. In the final chapters, it's revealed that the Empress is expanding the membership of the Childlike Researchers with deliberately infected intellectual offenders from around the Empire, trusting that their condition will destroy their "deviant" personalities and allow them to use their abilities as well-behaved children of the Empire. However, it's because of this brutal expansion that Dorothy and a magically-disguised Elphaba are able to sneak through enemy territory without raising suspicion.

Indirectly features in the epilogue; after Elphaba and the others return to Oz, she only has to deal with a few poisoning attempts because Morrible attempted to play up the â€˜deathsâ€™ of Dorothy and the others by claiming that the Witch couldnâ€™t be killed by mortal weapons, stopping people from attempting more blatant attempts to kill Elphaba because they think it wonâ€™t work.

The epilogue ends with Elphaba not only dreaming of events back in the other world as the Mentor is reunited with her daughter before dying of old age, but also experiencing glimpses of the future, such as the Lion speaking for Animal rights, Morrible retreating in disgrace, Dorothy and Boq at Nessaâ€™s official funeral, the Wizard making peace with the Nome King of this world, Dorothy a permanent resident of Oz and accepted despite her remaining traits from the Hellion, and what appears to be Elphaba and Fiyeroâ€™s wedding and their future child.

The Land of What Might-Have-Been (Fanfic) / int_b8ac17e5	comment	Children's Covert Coterie: Played with in the case of the Childlike Researchers, a covert group of young geniuses and Child Mages gathered together to serve the Empress. They're quartered in a secret laboratory hidden deep beneath the capital city of Exemplar, and information on the group is restricted to mage-surgeons and other relevant VIPs. However, it's soon revealed that the Childlike Researchers aren't children at all, but adults suffering from a magical disease that periodically causes them to physically regress. Worse still, decades of being treated like children gradually causes them to lose their adult memories and personalities, leaving them to obliviously serve the Empress as good little boys and girls, so they're usually mistaken for kids when they go out in public anyway.

However, Elphaba privately reflects that she's twisting the situation to suit her purposes, as Glinda never said all that at once but made the various relevant statements at different times, as the truth would have lessened the emotional impact.

For good measure, flashbacks confirm that the Empress still has a bit of Elphaba's bad temper, though she keeps it suppressed.

Later, a conversation with the Empress sees her basically expressing her belief that she can accomplish anything up to altering reality itself just to make it fit her view, to the extent that she basically expresses the view that she is right if reality is wrong. Morrible's counterpart in Unbridled Radiance continually fixates on the idea that she is the one who "should" have been the Empress, trying to harness Alphaba's immortality even after her experiments made her sick and still making attempts to subvert Alphaba's power after fifty years.

After spending time with Dorothy, the knowledge that Dorothy has handed herself over to the Hellion prompts Elphaba to immediately fly into a rage and resolve to find the Hellion to rescue Dorothy, with the rest of the displaced Ozians joining her (with the exception of the still-injured Lion). Flashbacks reveal that the Mentor first demonstrated the full scale of her magical potential when she destroyed a range of mage-surgeons after they killed her son; prior to that, the future Mentor refused to listen to the idea that her son needed Purification just because he was unusually tall. During the final battle, Elphaba makes the Empress lose concentration by basically forcing her to regress back to her pre-Purified state, the horror of her 'regression' causing the Empress's body to collapse at last.

Even after the investigators at Loamlark accept that Fiyero is a genuine scarecrow, they refuse to accept his protests that he and Toto can't be spies as scarecrows and dogs are far from ideal choices for such a role, constantly asking how he ended up in the tunnels where he was found even after he explains that he used them to escape being captured by the Hellion.

Chapter 65 sees Brr and Leoverus basically give such a speech to each other, Leoverus encouraging Brr to realise that he's not as much of a coward as he thinks he is and Brr suggesting that Leoverus's public explanation for his fears of starting a family aren't that valid. When Elphaba is sent travelling through alternate worlds, she witnesses one reality where she and Glinda are in Paris with Erik (The Phantom of the Opera), as her counterpart encourages Erik to let go of his obsession with Christine and explore new sources of inspiration for his music. After the final battle, when Dorothy expresses concern about what she might become after merging with the Hellion as they're about to return to Oz, Elphaba assures her that the fact that Dorothy's worried about such a fate is proof that she has nothing to worry about.

The Land of What Might-Have-Been (Fanfic) / int_c5f0119c	comment	Insane Troll Logic: By the time the alternate Oz was on the verge of splitting into civil war (as depicted in the flashbacks), the Empress had convinced herself that her attempts at being a hero were always flawed purely because she was ugly, and is so consumed by this idea on the importance of beauty that she even considers 'Purifying' Glinda's newborn son just because he's going to be unusually tall. She even considers it "cruel" to leave her subjects with memories of their past "ugliness" even when that means the Childlike Researchers forget their pasts. The population of Unbridled Radiance as a whole seem to have this view on Purification, with a pair of mage-surgeons Glinda confronts arguing that of course someone who was Purified secretly wanted to achieve that "perfection" even when he was actively screaming at them to stop until they started modifying his brain. As part of Morribleâ€™s Never My Fault stance, she rants about how she had a plan to stop the Empress that would benefit everyone, including Elphaba, when Elphabaâ€™s role in said â€œplanâ€� would have seen her basically reduced to embryonic goop so that Morrible could use her magic. When Elphaba questions how that plan would have benefited her, Morrible just yells at Elphaba to shut up.

In Chapter 66, the Empress is no longer playing around: upon arriving in Greenspectre, she proceeds to mop the floor with Dr Kiln, Boq, Branderstove, Fiyero, Dr Coil, The First of the Shapeless, Glinda, the Mentor, Elphaba and Dorothy; the Mentor is the only one of them who gives her even the slightest bit of trouble, and she still ends up barely clinging to life by the end of the chapter.

When the alternate Morrible tries to drain Elphaba's magic to initiate a coup against the Empress, she interrupts herself when she finds herself developing Elphaba's green skin, giving Dorothy time to save Elphaba. In the final battle, Glinda's personal vendetta with Unbridled Radiance's ambassador Hayfelt is ended when Glinda exposes him to the undiluted Clarity Hayfelt brought to the battlefield, causing him to tear himself apart. After the final battle, most attempts to rebel against the new rule of the Deviant Nations are defeated by Paragonâ€™s use of the Vigilant Eyes, to say nothing of the empireâ€™s reliance on the Purified bringing the whole society to a halt while the Purified are being deprogrammed.

The Land of What Might-Have-Been (Fanfic) / int_da163a71	comment	Alternate Universe Reed Richards Is Awesome: Played darkly in the case of alternate Elphaba, the Radiant Empress: an immensely powerful witch with powers almost akin to that of a demigod, she's carved out her own empire from the ruins of Oz and now serves as the single biggest threat in the entire story. The alternate Glinda is now the Great Mentor, the leader of a resistance movement that's essentially become a global superpower in its own right, and has learned enough magic to take on an entire enemy fleet and come out on top - despite her numerous illnesses. The alternate Boq is Dr Kiln, the Mentor's personal physician; on top of being an an incredibly skilled mage-surgeon and scientist, he's also quite the powerhouse in battle. The alternate Nessa is the Mistress of Mirrors, an information broker with the power to see the world through mirrors and shadows. The alternate Brr is the First of the Shapeless, leader of the Amorphous League of shapeshifters who have been active and on the run for the past forty years. In Chapter 74, Elphaba manages to be superior to Alphaba when she discovers Alphaba's children, who have been locked away since a Deviant 'weapon' activated some of the green genes they inherited from Alphaba, for the simple reason that Elphaba is willing to spend time with them where Alphaba always said that she had other things to do.

However, because the Plague begins altering her mind ahead of her body, Glinda finds the transformation itself fun: as it continues, she becomes increasingly giggly and curious - to the point of deliriously playing with Fiyero's medals just before she starts shrinking out of her clothes. Later, Glinda decides to join the Amorphous League to help cement their alliance with the Deviant Nations. As soon as her initiation is over, she quickly grows to enjoy the weird sensations associated with using her new shapeshifting powers, finding the process of altering her size, shape, age, gender, and species a thrilling experience. And that's before she gets to the fun of actually putting these different shapes to practical use. In the final chapters, Elphaba ends up trapped behind enemy lines and has the Alternate Morrible drain her age so she can disguise herself as one of the Childlike Researchers - a transition she doesn't enjoy in the slightest for the sense of diminishment and weakness involved. However, when she finally abandons her disguise and reverts to her true age, Elphaba finds that growing up again at high speed is accompanied by a huge surge of adrenaline and endorphins that she describes as empowering and even "godlike".

Is Serious Business: Early on, Elphaba reflects that under other circumstances the notion of Glinda wearing a mechanic's boiler suit as a disguise given her usual status as The Fashionista might be amusing, but as it is Elphaba is deeply troubled by the question of what might have pushed Glinda to go that far in the first place. For the people of Unbridled Radiance, the Empress not showing up for a scheduled announcement is a sign that something serious is taking place.

The Land of What Might-Have-Been (Fanfic) / int_ea39d156	comment	Who Wants to Live Forever?: Essentially the Hellion's attitude just after her transformation from the alt-Dorothy, as she expected to die in her new state but even the best efforts of Unbridled Radiance's mages failed to do anything permanent to her twisted state. Later discoveries confirm the fundamental flaw in the idea of an immortal civilisation, as Unbridled Radiance would be 'obliged' to keep expanding and growing through military conquest or become stagnant and decadent like the original Oz.

In flashbacks to the war between Unbridled Radiance and the Deviant Nations, the Mentor was saved from forced Purification by Mr Heart after Unbridled Radiance's surgeons killed her son. When Elphaba returns to Unbridled Radiance from other dimensions, Dorothy is able to use the Ruby Slippers to teleport herself to Elphaba in time to save her from being absorbed by Morrible. During the final battle, Fiyero's spirit is transferred into the Champion's body, but Elphaba's tampering with the transfer equipment ensures that he retains his own mind and delivers a Curb-Stomp Battle to the Purified.
