GFRW 2006 - Day 4
And here it is, day 4 of Good Fic Recc Week. Today I thought I'd step away from the realm of animated fandom. Instead I give you a fandom that has captivated me since last year, and that I had the pleasure of seeing for myself this past May.
The fandom du jour: Wicked. A word of warning, most if not all of these fics will be based on the musical rather than the book, and may contain spoilers.
The first Wick-fic I'll be recc'ing is titled "Your Life Could End Up Changing". Written by TheWickedWitchOfOz, this fic is an AU starting from the end of the I'm Not That Girl number. Instead of leaving for the Emerald City right afterwards, Elphaba instead stays at Shiz. It's quite an engaging story, and the author keeps everyone IC.
Next on the list is "Love Thine Enemy" by littlesoprano. Love Thine Enemy is a combination of the musical and the 1939 Oz film. In it, Dorothy witnesses Glinda grieving over the Wicked Witch's death. Glinda then tells Dorothy about what Elphaba was really like and about her friendship with the green-skinned girl. The summary promises that what she hears causes Dorothy to re-evaluate her treatment of Ms. Gulch, but unfortunately the fic hasn't been updated since May of this year. I remain hopeful, though.
"Forever and Again the Wicked" by Port-of-Seas is an interesting work, a combination of the musical universe and book universe. Set as a sequel to Son of a Witch, Gregory Maguire's sequel to Wicked the novel, this fic explores the idea that the Scarecrow is really Fiyero (put forth at the end of the musical). It's a good read, especially for the scenes between Fiyero/Scarecrow and Liir as the former realizes the latter is his son. One word of warning - the fic is rated M, and contains spoilers for both Wicked and SoaW.
And that wraps up another one. See you tomorrow, same place but I can't guaruntee same time.
