Summary
“Oh, don't drink that shit, it's awful.” She grabs it from your hand, tilts her head back, throat exposed, and downs the drink. Then, she pours you champagne, “Much better. Much more worthy of someone of your standing.”
“My standing? You’ve seen me drink wine straight from the box. Worse, you’ve seen me drink straight from the bag from the box.”
“That was in our dorm, darling. It’s been years. You could have changed since then.”
The photo from the article flashes in your mind: her head tilted back against a brick wall, legs parted over a thigh, hands in red hair.
“I could say the same to you.”

Are we too old to still be passing notes? (check yes or no) by Gay_and_Afraid

Summary
“Galinda? What could have possibly prompted you to open up a little notebook like a private detective and start scribbling away?”
“Wouldn’t you like to know?” She said lightly, gathering her belongings.
“Yes!? That’s why he asked?”
“It’s private.” She evaded again. The non-answer was still more information than before, Elphaba noted. Galinda stood, hugging her books to her chest.
“Can you give us something?”
She chewed it over.
“I’m observing.”
“What?”
“Just observing.”
---
No one knows why Galinda has been obsessively note taking all week. Not just in classes, but in the halls, on walks, during mealtimes, at parties and club meetings. Elphaba tried not to worry about it, but with all the rumors and speculation, she’s worried it might have something to do with her.

Summary
The first thing Marcy felt was cold. Cold and wet and… distant. She’s used to being overwhelmed by sounds and people but everything was quiet, muffled, like a white noise machine.
—
A very short story of what I imagine Marcy might feel like when she first wakes up in the tank thing shown in the new season 3 opening. -

Unveiling: Emma Swan VS Compulsory Heterosexuality by vestwearer_wibblywobblyida

Summary
"Girlcrushes are normal. Every woman has them. They don't mean you're really into women. Just because you can name a hot female celebrity (or ten) doesn't mean you're attracted to them. It just means you admire them, look up to them.
She can name guys too. Hot men, hot guys, hot male celebrities, hmmmmmm... there was that one guy from that one movie? She knows his name, she does, she just can't think of it right now."
Emma Swan is a closeted lesbian. This is a story about her figuring that out.

The Day a Jar of Pickles Saved the World by evilqueenofgallifrey (MayFairy)

Summary
"You'll do exactly as I say, without question."
"As long as it doesn't involve anything like murder or grand larceny, sure."
"...why on Earth would I ask either of those of you?"
"You just killed a guy with a jar of pickles. How am I supposed to know what you get up to in your spare time?"
Emma Swan could never have expected that borrowing a pen from a mysterious stranger sitting next to her in a test would accidentally lead to her helping said stranger stop the world from ending, but it's becoming increasingly obvious that the universe is a bizarre place.

Summary
Regina starts to say something to shut her down because nothing good will come from this, it’s why she’s never talked to Emma about it, but then Emma mumbles something and Regina stiffens.
“What did you say?” Regina asks, her throat tight.
“Was it after your mom died?” Emma asks, eyes wide as she looks at Regina. “I know he was running around and was involved in something back then but I never thought….” Emma trails off, her brow furrowed as she obviously struggles to put everything together and Regina just sits there, trembling, until, until-- “Regina, did he work with Tamara and Greg? What they did to you--he didn’t…. Did he help them?’
Regina closes her eyes and clenches her jaw and flinches at Emma’s sharp breath.
“Fuck,” Emma mutters. “Fuck. Regina, why didn’t you ever tell me?”
