    Summary

    Regret is a funny thing.
    For much of her early life, Glinda had believed that regret was for weak-willed, indecisive idiots. Regret was for others who could not live with their past choices, not for her, never for her. Regret was foolish, and Galinda Upland was not foolish. She never regretted anything, not until Shiz. Not until Elphaba.
    When Elphaba offers to send her back- back to Shiz, back to before all of their mistakes- she jumps at the chance. Only, Elphaba can read the spells aloud all she wants, but the Grimmerie has a mind of its own.
    In the long-dead past, twelve year old Galinda Upland wakes from a horrific nightmare, a name on her lips that belongs to someone she doesn't know yet.
    Glinda the Good is no more.

    Summary

    Rumi couldn't take it, the way they looked at her, their weapons drawn. She falls to her knees, at their mercy. If anyone can fix things, fix her, it would be them.

    ~~

    My take on the "what if Rumi didn't run and asked Zoey and Mira to kill her" idea. They talk a lot and in part two they cuddle and kiss about it.

    Summary

    In the mirror, her eyes were still golden. But they didn’t seem as unnatural now. They were warm. Luminous. Like sunrise caught in glass. Like the colour they fought to turn the Honmoon.

    “I keep forgetting,” Rumi muttered, “that I don’t have to hide anymore.”

    “That’s why we’re here,” Zoey said, nudging her with an elbow. “To remind you.”

    Or: A week since everything went down, Rumi finds herself forgetting she doesn't have to keep things a secret anymore. (3 times +1)

    Summary

    A chill swept through Rumi as, suddenly, Mira’s body tensed. The hotheaded woman was practically shooting lasers at her screen. For a second, Rumi worried she might actually crack the phone in her shaking hand.

    Whatever Mira was looking at was bad.

    Then, in what was undoubtedly an unconscious action, Mira’s eyes shot down to her own in a panicked flash.

    'Oh,’ Rumi swallowed sharply, ‘so it’s about me.’ 

    Or

    A couch doomscrolling day takes a turn for the worse when Huntrix's new comeback promo posters are released. Not everyone is a fan of Rumi's new look.

    Summary

    “I can explain,” she rushes out, even though she has actually no idea how to explain.

    “Yeah, can you explain why I found this out from a Twitter thread instead of from you?” Bobby says. He grabs his phone and pulls up a web page, then slides the phone over to Rumi.

    She freezes.

    It’s not some tell-all about her secret demon identity.

    She looks down at the photo, taken by some resourceful paparazzo, of Jinu waving goodbye as he slips out the back of her condo building. In the background, blurry but still obviously her, is Rumi.

    //

    Five times people assumed Rumi and Jinu are together (and one other time entirely)
