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

19 Mar 2025

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.)

when will my life begin? by pereznhoward

Summary
“Who are you?” She asked, the question not laced with anger, but bewilderedness. Almost… enchanted.
“Elphaba Thropp,” she said easily, trying not to wince as another shaft of sunlight cut through the tower and hit her full in the face. Her skin shimmered faintly under it, the green of her cheek catching golden light. She smiled again, this time slower. “And you?”
The girl faltered. She wanted to say it, Elphaba could see that. It was right there, the truth balanced on the tip of her tongue. But something stopped her. Something small and scared and flickering behind those wide brown eyes.
“You’ll get my name,” she said, “When you tell me how you found me.”
or
Princess Galinda had been stolen from her mothers soon as she was born and locked in a tower, not expecting a bandit (who complains about how the flyers had the wrong shade of green) would be the one to free her.

Just Keep Breathing by DangerousMouse

19 Oct 2025

Summary
It felt like she was being torn apart. Blood rushed in her ears as her bones snapped and shifted, her skin stretching and pulling as her whole body broke and reformed. She’d never felt anything like this before.
When the pain finally stopped, she lay panting and shuddering against the freezing stone. Her nerves were still sparking and her heart felt like it was trying to burst from her chest.
In between pained breaths, she heard her voice, once comforting, now cold and sharp.
“Oh yes, I think she’s exactly what we were looking for. The perfect spy.”
~
When Galinda shows an affinity for shifting forms, her parents reach out to Madame Morrible to plead for help, not knowing that in doing so they were sealing their daughter’s fate. Five years spent in the Emerald City under watchful eyes has honed her skills as a spy, working for the Wizard against the Animal Rebellion. Thrust into a strange new world at Shiz, tasked with learning all she can about Doctor Dillamond, Galinda is faced with a reality she wasn’t prepared for. All she knew to do was… just keep breathing.

Summary
Elphaba ignored the Emerald City escort in her bright orange dress and equally orange hat and looked at Glinda instead, standing to the side of the stage in a pale pink dress with a beatific smile on her face. Glinda Upland, surprise winner of the 68th annual Hunger Games at fifteen years old-and now, at seventeen, her mentor. The person who was supposed to guide Elphaba through the pre game festivities and look out for her while she was in the Arena. The person who had once been closer to her than anyone else in the world, now worse than a stranger.
Elphaba tried to stifle a sigh. She really didn’t stand a chance.
Or: Elphaba and Glinda are both District 12's surprise Victors. But Elphaba is just beginning to realize the Games don't end when she leaves the Arena...

The Magic in Her Eyes by flowersarenoble5 (tryingthisout)

Summary
Children were tested early, and their aptitudes and affinities were sorted like clothing in a shop. Some fit neatly into one path, while others, like Galinda, straddled two.
She had been a natural fit for the ruling faction, her charm and wit practically a birthright in the Uplands. Her skill with a blade had secured her a place among the knights, too. But the wizard faction? That had always been out of reach.
She had shown little to no natural talent for magic, no sparks of the arcane to mark her as special. And yet, standing here now, she felt a pull she couldn’t quite explain.OR Fantasy AU wherein Galinda is a swordsmaiden.

layers of nacre (a chain of pearls for your neck) by desi_kappa
Fandoms: Steven Universe (Cartoon)
23 Mar 2025
Tags
Summary
⟡⟡⟡
"The quality of a pearl is judged mainly from four aspects: color, size, shape and smoothness. Color refers to the refraction, diffraction or interference of light waves caused by the subtle physical structure of the biological body surface. The shape and size of the pearl is related to the thickness of the nacreous layer and the deposition mode of calcium carbonate crystal, and the smoothness of the pearl is closely related to the structure of the pearl layer."
Everyone knows that pearls are made in accordance with their owner’s wishes. Pearl, though, belongs to No One.

Summary
It had been three months since the fight in Old Corona. Princess Rapunzel left with her friends to follow the black rocks. There was peace in Corona and even if Queen Arianna missed her daughter painfully she still enjoyed the harmony and quietness.
Until the day they received this dreadful message, a message from an old enemy of her husband, an alchemist who invented a substance that covers everything with an indestructible crystal, almost like the amber which kept Quirin as their prisoner, like the amber she herself nearly became trapped in.
One village has already fallen victim to it and more were bend to follow. They din‘t have too many options, Arianna knew that, after all, Corona only has one alchemist, a boy who is currently sitting in the dungeons beneath her feet in a small, cold cell and nobody knew whether he would agree to help them in their need or even what he would demand in return should they ask. But they had no other choice and who knew it, maybe this is exactly the right opportunity to bring Varian back to light.
All Arianna can do is hope.
