** Synopsis: Instead of being killed when Dorothy tries to pour the bucket of water on her, Elphaba dodges at the last minute and is only burned by some of the water splashing on her. She then accuses Dorothy of trying to kill her even as Dorothy pleads that she was only trying to help. Elphaba demands that Dorothy hand over the ruby slippers; Dorothy replies that they won't come off her feet despite her attempts to remove them. It all goes to hell when Elphaba decides that she'll just hack Dorothy's feet off and take the slippers that way. Elphaba throws Dorothy out the window, where she falls to her death. Elphaba then proceeds to cut Dorothy's feet off, dig them out of the slippers, and then put them on her own feet. The story ends with Elphaba using the slippers' power to teleport to the Emerald City, presumably to kill the Wizard of Oz.

** Comments: This story illustrates [[Fan Dumb|everything that's wrong]] with the ''Wicked'' fandom, and especially the disturbing hatred a certain subset of fans has for Dorothy. This leaves the reader wondering why the author felt the need to include the brutal and graphic murder of a twelve-year old girl and the mutilation of her corpse. [[Beige Prose|The prose is flat and dull,]] and it constitutes massive [[Character Derailment]] for Elphaba, undermining the basic theme of Gregory Maguire's work -- that Elphaba wasn't all that bad to begin with.

*** Caveat: For better or worse, SONIC_FAN realizes this around the sixth chapter and cranks up the [[Refuge in Audacity]] and [[Planet Eris|weirdness of the plot]] while also cleaning up the grammar to make it more readable but still horrible. The later fanfics [[Growing the Beard|much more successfully]] pull off the [[So Bad It's Good]], with the seventh nearly going into [[So Cool Its Awesome]] Territory.

** Synopsis: Semina is a [[Mary Sue|young girl]] who, despite being good at everything, is [[Informed Flaw|Bad at math]] and has her grades lowered by a [[Sadist Teacher]]. Without warning, her powers manifest and Charles Xavier has her trained by her aunt in controlling her Pheoni level psychic abilities to Read minds, Move objects with her mind, Water Manipulation and Healing. When she reaches the right age she is taken to the Xavier institute where she quickly becomes [[Black Hole Sue|liked by everyone]] exept for Scott and Jean [[Ron the Death Eater|because they are bad people and as such are constantly bashed by Semina]]. Episodes from Season 1 are retold from Semina's point of view after she is inserted into them, usually with important moments changed so she can look better, while the [[Jerkass]] Pietro slowly starts to fall for her.

** Comments: The author, Jesse J Maximoff, is a massive Pietro [[Fan Girl]] who admits herself its 'a bit' Mary Sueish, but that doesn't cover it. Semina has too many powers, to the point they become redundant (Telekinesis ''and'' water manipulation!?), including an example of [[Elements Do Not Work That Way]] in that Semina was unable to manipulate the water in the air because there wasn't enough but Storm was able to make it rain with the same amount of water so she could manipulate the rain, forgetting that Storm would need a large amount to make it rain; later is able to manipulate clouds since there is no other water sources nearby, never occurring to them that since the town its set in is close to a beach, the sea would be a closer source. Not to mention they were outside and as such could use the air, though these two were ''probably'' attempts to make her look weak for a second. Semina is also able to use water To pin down Juggernaut, something no earthbound force is able to do, completely ruining the [[Enemy Mine]] situation if all the real work is done by one individual and everything everyone else did was useless and inefective. In the same chapter, Semina managed to beat Lance and Scott but decided to let Scott get ahead because he "needed it" and looked funny when acting all masculine. Semina is also a cheerleader who becomes friends with everyone, including the anti-social Rogue due to being a rock fan.

*** Secondly, [[Jerkass]] [[Draco in Leather Pants|Antagonist Pietro Maximoff is potrayed much more nicely]], the only time he acts mean is in scenes from the show and even there its potrayed less so; his origin episode already happned by the time the story starts and its only adapted the first season, but any part he appears in he doesn't usually do much villainy, despite him being the evilest character in the Brotherhood. The author cites Pietro as her favourite male character, not because of him being funny to watch, but because he's [[PSL|hot]].

*** Thirdly, Scott and Jean are repeatedly insulted and bashed. Throwaway jokes about them are treated as serious examples of their [[Jerkass|jerkassery]] and they are acused of being horrible and bad people for no reason. In fact, Semina actually comes off as a bully who insults them for ''everything'': any time Scott acts masculine or heroic he's criticised for it, any time Jean shows any sign of weakness she's accused of being annoying and in the way. The author's profile actually mentions Jean as her least favourite female character, not becuase of her perfectionist attutude or any legitimate reason, but because she was really weak in the first season. [[Sarcasm Mode|Yeah, the strongest and most powerful mutant in the series was too weak for the author's taste.]]
