Fics like Where the River Flows (Always Back to You)

Glinda remembers the train in all its opulence. The cutest little mustache man and the smoke billowing in plumes around the machine’s emerald bodice. She remembers the platform. It was packed with their classmates, handpicked by herself to celebrate her Elphie’s departure. They whistled, they cajoled, with signs and well wishes. Fiyero gave Elphaba a poppy, and Glinda remembers the discomfort that flipped in her stomach. She remembers she ignored it. But, most of all, Glinda remembers the invitation. “Come with me.” And the awkward race along the side of the train. She remembers Elphaba’s hand in hers, and the warm, tingling feeling that swept through her from head to toe. She remembers nothing else. Nothing at all. But somehow Glinda finds herself pulled from a river in the Southern Quadrant of Oz, an odd, untitled tome in her possession, no Elphaba to be found, and an Oz repeatedly telling her it's been five years since the day she joined Elphaba on that train. Or Glinda has no memory of the past five years and tries to find her way back to Elphaba, but very little in Oz is how she remembers it.
