    Summary

    It's a well-known fact in Oz that everyone had a soulmate mark. Galinda was one of the few unlucky ones who never found a soulmate mark. Instead, she woke up one day with a crow perched on her head and everything went to hell.

    As Galinda comes of age and debuts in society, courted by several suitors like the dashing Fiyero and her mystery soulmate, she's scrambling to figure out all the cryptic warnings and unravel the web of lies before it's too late. After all, everything in "Oz" is not as it seems. People know more than they are telling her. And Glinda is teetering on a very thin line.

    Summary

    "Even from her towering vantage point, Elphaba did not miss the redness already marring Glinda’s upper arms, the firmness of the guards’ hand prints leaving red imprints in her skin, or the dark purple bruise that had formed on her right cheek, underneath her eye. Sweet Oz, had the guards punched her?"

    ~~

    When Elphaba sees how rough the guards are with Glinda on the palace tower before she flies away, she decides that she won't leave her friend behind and saves her, taking her along on her journey as a fugitive. Now she can add kidnapping to her ever-growing list of crimes.

    Summary

    As she swished the mascara wand around its little container, she picked up a familiar scent. The smell immediately hit her nose, and she nearly fell out of her little vanity stool. Her stomach ached with hunger. Something smelt good. That never was a good sign.
    She turned her head to Elphaba, her doe eyes wide and her mouth slightly agape.

    “..Are you alright, Elphie?”

    Her tone was slow and deliberate, and just a bit softer than usual. Elphaba just looked up at her, arching an eyebrow.

    “Yeah, I just.. got a papercut.”

    She held up her pointer finger, a little cut was just barely visible. Galinda couldn’t avert her gaze from Elphaba’s finger, no matter how much she tried. Elphaba felt uneasy under Galinda’s piercing eyes.

    “How’d you know to ask?”
