    Summary

    Galinda Upland let out a primordial shriek, sobbing with terror and jubilation, hugging her knees closer to her chest. They were having a baby. She was going to be a mother.

    Alas, there were no books on how to help a woman as stubborn as Elphaba Thropp through her pregnancy, especially when said woman was adamantly and steadfastly refusing any and all assistance whatsoever.

    or, in other words: elphaba thropp is easy to love but hard to take care of, since no one has ever cared for her before. as her pregnancy progresses, galinda upland tries her damndest to do both anyways.

    Summary

    “Elphaba stayed in her room for a day. Galinda came and went with a dinner. On occasion she would stay for a few minutes.”
    - Wicked, Gregory Maguire, pg. 123

    --

    For the first time, Galinda sat down in the room, on the armchair across from Elphaba’s desk. She perched on the very edge of it with her legs primly crossed at the ankles, as if she was preparing to run. Galinda’s sunburn bloomed a soft pink on the high arc of her cheekbones, the bridge of her nose… which was dotted with freckles, as Elphaba would have noticed if she’d cared to look more closely. Galinda’s summer dress hung loosely over her legs.
    With great effort, Elphaba averted her gaze.

    --

    Or, as we know, a lot can happen in a few minutes.

    Summary

    Glinda Chuffrey has money, power, and a carefully constructed life—one that Elphaba Thropp has every intention of unraveling.
    A con is supposed to be simple: Find the mark. Earn their trust. Take what’s valuable. Leave before things get messy.
    Glinda, however, is anything but simple.

    The mark was never supposed to be the one who kissed first. Elphaba was never supposed to hesitate. And she was definitely never supposed to want more.

    Now, the game has changed. And she’s not sure who’s winning.

    Summary

    Berlin, 1987.
    Galinda arrives as a tourist with a pink suitcase and only half the truth about why she’s there. Elphaba works in a quiet bookstore and knows things she shouldn’t. In a city divided by walls, they think they’re on opposite sides—until the lines start to blur.

    Mixtapes, secrets, and the art of knowing who to trust.

    Summary

    He'd made the wrong choice. As soon as Galinda danced with her, in front of everyone, he saw it. Everyone was open to stare and fawn over Elphaba--exactly what they'd been doing in veiled spying on her in class, their faces pinched with envy whenever the professors courted her. For the first time in four schools, he'd chosen the wrong girl.

    Summary

    Had Elphaba's eyes always held those flecks of gold - like stolen sunshine trapped in emeralds? Had her hair always spilled like midnight silk, woven by angels under the moonlight? Had her lips always curved with that delicious disdain? Sweet Oz, was she always this... perfect?

    or

    What if Galinda's family had a love curse?

    The Gomezification of Galinda Upland.

    Summary

    “Your son is perfectly perfect,” Glinda whispers softly.

    “When he’s sleeping, maybe,” Elphaba teases. Still, her green eyes are soft, glancing at him.

    “Oh, always,” Glinda argues, hand cupping Liir’s soft, round cheek. He’s so precisely and exactly like Elphaba. “Always, always.”

    Or: Completely self-indulgent family fluff, featuring Gelphie as gay moms, Fiyero as a very involved third-wheel father, and, of course, everyone’s best boy Liir.

    Summary

    “What are you doing here?”

    “I should ask that of you. Seriously, Elphie, a religious convent? Who have you become?”

    “A ghost,” said Elphaba. “If I'm anything at all.”

    “You were always a ghost. Even back at Shiz, you were.”


    Or, Glinda visits the cloister of her namesake. Things spiral from there.

    Summary

    "All of Oz thinks I’m dead.”
    “Not all of Oz,” Glinda said. Something like shame flickered across Elphaba’s green face. “Water, Elphaba, really?”
    “You know the rumors. Apparently I’m so wicked water can melt me.”
    “Well, I can agree that you’re wicked, but the rest of the sentiment is ridiculous.”

    Ten years after the melting, Glinda gets a visitor whom she is less than pleased (and unsurprised) to see.

    Summary

    She didn’t even really ask a question when she told Elphaba what she’d done, when she told her about the house, the biggest purchase of her life: a safe place; a place where, if she’s horrendibly honest, she imagines that maybe they could grow old. Galinda never saw the appeal of it before, of the ache in her bones or the aging lines on her face.

    But looking in the mirror lately, they’re there— and she doesn’t hate it. She doesn’t hate knowing she’s changed. That they both have.

    (Or, a post-canon fix-it. Elphaba comes back to her. Galinda buys them a house. The eroticism of a gentle life.)
