What If Elphaba Joined the Wizard?

When we think of Wicked and The Wizard of Oz, Elphaba (the Wicked Witch of the West) is usually the rebel — fighting against the Wizard’s corruption. But what if, instead, she joined him?

Let’s imagine this Wicked alternate universe theory:

Peace at First

No scandals. No rebellion. Oz runs smoothly, with Elphaba’s power backing the Wizard.

Magic Meets Authority

With her sorcery, the Wizard levels up faster than ever. Flying monkeys? Forget them. He now commands enchanted drones.

Fiyero the Enforcer

Instead of a romantic rebel, Fiyero becomes the Wizard’s head enforcer — loyal to the cause.

Glinda Gets Sidelined

Glinda’s sparkle fades. She’s still got the tiaras, but her political influence is gone.

Elphaba’s Twist

At first, she’s celebrated as Oz’s greatest asset. But eventually, she realizes the truth:
She isn’t free — she’s a puppet.
Only this time, she’s the one pulling the strings.

✨ This Wicked AU flips everything we know. Instead of rebellion, we get control. Instead of freedom, we get a new kind of cage.

Would Elphaba still be the villain? Or worse… the ultimate ruler of Oz?
