    Summary

    The day with the Lion Cub changed everything for both Fiyero and Elphaba.

    Fiyero takes the needed steps to get closer to Elphaba and break down the walls she's surrounded herself with to act upon his feelings for her. Elphaba lets him.

    And what follows is the story of how their relationship plays out across the remainder of their time at Shiz. It's a lot of love with some drama thrown in.

    Shiz-era canon divergence, musicalverse. Fiyeraba.

    Summary

    At Grimm Bean Tales, Elphaba brewed dark roast and darker moods, building her postgrad life one sarcastic eye-roll at a time.

    Fiyero, her insufferably cheerful across-the-street rival with shampoo-commercial hair and a pet store full of loud opinions and louder animals, seemed hell-bent on ruining her peace.

    She dreaded seeing him walk in every morning... until one day, he didn’t. (A Coffee Shop AU)

    Summary

    Fiyero really needs to learn to proofread his texts before he sends them.

    Because now, thanks to the joys of autocorrect, Fiyero's family is somehow under the impression that he's dating Elphaba, and worse, they're expecting her to join him in the Vinkus for Lurlinemas.

    Because Elphaba is a great friend, she agrees to go along with the ruse.

    It's just like something out of those cheesy, sappy Lurlinemas movies on the Quillark channel that Galinda loves- a couple pretend to be in love. Except those ones always end with the couple falling in love for real. And there's no way that's ever going to happen.

    Summary

    Elphaba had no friends. She didn't see The Ozian Pen Pal Program changing that any time soon. However, when she begins an unexpectedly profound correspondence with a match known only to her as Yero, she must make a choice. Is letting someone know the real you worth the risk...or is it safer to live your life anonymously? AU. Fiyeraba.
