Summary
At Shiz, Galinda Upland is adored, composed, untouchable. Elphaba Thropp is none of those things — and Galinda hates her for it.
Or at least, that’s what she tells herself.
But when a moment of unguarded vulnerability fractures the careful balance between them, both girls are forced to reckon with what’s been simmering beneath their rivalry all along.
A slow burn about the spaces we take up, the ones we leave behind, and what it means to be truly seen.[I found a bunch of half finished fics that I wrote between 2017-2020 and recently got some actual motivation to fix and finish them up, hence the sudden revival of this account]

Summary
Her momsie's stories painted a picture of princes and princesses, but none dared imagine, let alone speak of, a princess desiring another. And then there was her duty, the expectation of being the perfect Princess of Gillikin. Another flawless ball, another parade of suitable princes, the picture-perfect life, yet she wanted none of it.
Oh, Oz, what was wrong with her?

Summary
“The day out to the beach had been Glinda’s idea. According to her, if she, Sarima, and Boq were to travel all the way (the journey was at most two days) to Ev to visit, she might as well get to experience the beautiful ocean.”

The Tigelaar Thropp family (and friends) take a trip to the beach.

Summary
Elphaba swallowed, barely above a whisper. “Glinda-”
But Glinda tilted her head, a small smirk curling at the edge of her flushed lips. “Who’s Glinda?” she murmured, trying to sound suave, but her voice cracked just enough to betray her nerves.
“I’m Fiyero, remember?”
Her hand slid deeper, her fingertips tracing the inside of Elphaba’s thigh.
Or
Glinda wants to reenact her date with Fiyero on Elphaba. Some spicy roleplaying inevitably leads to a complicated situationship, blurring the lines between acting and pure smutty desire between best friends.

Summary
(THIS IS A REUPLOAD! Cause the first one was dookie LOL)
After a particularly boring yet entertaining showcase of their history by the Emerald City Players in the Shiztorium, even by Elphaba's standards, due to its pushy and sexist idealizations of the old 'second genders' within society. It leaves Galinda overly interested for some reason, and Elphaba, the opposite. Instead making a loud statement of her dislike towards it.
That was until, she herself had started to present after... Well by the wise one's standard, centuries. Of course, this sends Morrible into a frenzy, stating that Elphaba must be the 'chosen one', giving Galinda a migraine. Morrible makes Galinda babysit her while she goes away on a business trip, even threatening to expel her. Surely, it wouldn't be too hard right?
Elphaba uses the week of unsupervised Morrible to give Galinda a proper torture session (She was honestly just being grateful). She decides to shower Galinda with her own set of, well--
Praise.

Summary
Children were tested early, and their aptitudes and affinities were sorted like clothing in a shop. Some fit neatly into one path, while others, like Galinda, straddled two.
She had been a natural fit for the ruling faction, her charm and wit practically a birthright in the Uplands. Her skill with a blade had secured her a place among the knights, too. But the wizard faction? That had always been out of reach.
She had shown little to no natural talent for magic, no sparks of the arcane to mark her as special. And yet, standing here now, she felt a pull she couldn’t quite explain.OR Fantasy AU wherein Galinda is a swordsmaiden.

One of them is already running for student council.
And one of them might be a walking conspiracy board.Now there are duplicate students, corn-related lunchroom disasters, enchanted dance-offs, dueling amphibians, alarming romantic tension, and a group chat spiraling rapidly out of control.
Elphaba might have accidentally adopted a magically anxious elf girl with a cool denim jacket, a perfectly-spherical frog named Boggy, and too many feelings.
Glinda is trying very hard not to scream.--
OR The Bad Kids quangle into the Oz Universe.
Shiz was already chaotic before the rift. Now it’s a full-blown crossover event.Series

Summary
Glinda Upland is everything she was supposed to become: the voice of a generation, the face of a global brand, and the world's biggest pop star. But underneath the gloss and glitter is a woman quietly falling apart, tired of playing a part she didn’t write, and haunted by the only person who ever really saw her.
Elphaba Thropp walked away from the spotlight almost ten years ago. Now a jaded, fiercely independent guitarist scraping by in the indie scene. Elphaba wants nothing to do with stadium tours, glam squads, or the pop star she once knew too intimately to forget.
Thrown together on the biggest stage of their lives, what begins as tension and unresolved history gives way to stolen glances, late-night songwriting sessions, and the terrifying possibility of something real.

Summary
Galinda is known to neglect herself. The poor thing sets aside her own needs in favor of pleasing everyone else. Sometimes she just forgets. It's bad for her health, her beautiful curls, her anxiety. Sometimes she just needs reminders— someone to tell her to keep up with these few things.
And really Elphaba would just prefer it if the girl listened to her anyways.
But today is different. Something is completely wrong. And Galinda knows it.
Elphie is different.

Summary
Her collar feels too tight, chafing against her damp skin. Sweat beads along the back of her neck as heat floods her face, rushing down her chest, coiling tight in her stomach like a spring wound to its breaking point. It’s too much—far too much.
── .✦
Fiyero and Galinda are both under the weather, and something about seeing them vulnerable is really doing it for Elphie.
