Summary
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.” - Jack Kerouac.

Summary
Time seemed to pass by far too quickly as it slowly bled on, each moment lasting both years and seconds. Pale shades were painted onto her skin, hiding each flaw and trapping her in. Inside, her mind screamed, but all they saw was the perfect woman they were promised.

Summary
“Why is it upside down?” Glinda asks when she sees the tattoo.
When Elphaba raises into her stance, she points at her bent knee and looks up at Glinda.
“It’s not upside down - I am,” she explains. “It’s the last thing I see before the gun goes off. You’re the last thing I think about before the gun goes off.”
or
Paris Summer Olympics AU in which Elphaba is an up-and-coming sprinter, Glinda is the captain of the women's soccer team, and they slowly fall for each other over the course of the games.

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
"Elphaba will want you two to get married eventually, you know,” he says.
Galinda shrugs. “And if she doesn’t, that’s okay.”
Fiyero smiles. “That’s why she’s going to want to.” It suddenly occurs to him that he and Galinda were never this honest with each other as kids. Because that’s what they were— kids. It feels a bit like being naked, being with someone who has known you so well for so long.
It’s lovely, truthfully, how you never really stop growing up.
(Or, farmhouse!Gelphie through the eyes of Fiyero throughout important moments of their lives.)

Summary
There was more writing crowding that same page, curling around the drawing as though desperate to squeeze every last inch of space. Murth hesitated. Did she even want to keep reading?
It was all so—so incredibly juvenile.
Lady Glinda, who for a long time had been the most powerful woman in Oz, who conducted herself with the unshakable poise of someone befitting her station, who had gathered supporters all over the world with wit and charm and a mind sharper than steel—all of that reduced to a teenage girl involved in petty university dramas.
And involved with the Wicked Witch of the West!
How come that secret had never been brought to light, even years after Lady Glinda's death?

how essential to me (you have become) by ifthebookdoesntsell

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.)
