A/N: This is it, I'm done! Just over a year since my first drabble was posted, and they're finished. Thanks to everyone who reviewed, especially the regulars - you guys know who you are.

Ending

Elphaba lives.

The whispers were everywhere for a year or so after she melted.

And then they faded.

Glinda will come back.

The stories were everywhere for a year or so after she died.

And then they too faded.

In time, even the names were forgotten. Elphaba, Glinda, the Good Witch, the Wicked Witch… they all faded from the Oz's memories.

And then a girl dug into the wreckage of the old palace, and found a small green bottle, filled with liquid, with a sealed message around its neck.

Elphaba lives, the message said.

And the girl shrugged, and drank.
