    Misfortune is what fortune depends upon. Fortune is where misfortune hides beneath. Who knows their ultimate end or if they have no determined outcome?

    Summary

    Zoey’s attempt to flirt with a quiet girl in the library ends in epic embarrassment when she’s completely ignored. Days later, Mira’s run-in with the same girl in an elevator—where she’s met with silence instead of help—leaves her fuming.

    Neither suspects the real reason: Rumi is deaf and painfully anxious around strangers, turning every encounter into a maze of misunderstandings.

    They meet again later at an event, and Mira's first instinct was to call Rumi a bitch.

    Summary

    Dear whoever receives my letter,

    When I was asked if I wanted to exchange letters with a complete stranger from Gillikin Country, I was quite excited. You see, whoever you are, I don’t have all that many friends. So, this seemed like a great opportunity.

    Perhaps I should briefly introduce myself. My name is Elphaba, I’m 12 years old, and I live in Munchkinland. Before my sister was born, my family and I traveled through Quadling Country for a while, but I don’t remember all that much about it.
    I have never been to Gillikin Country though. What is it like? Do you like living there?

    Personally, I’m not really a fan of Munchkinland. I have this image in my head that there is this place out there, somewhere in Oz, maybe even in Gillikin, where I’ll feel at home. But I haven’t lived anywhere else, so it’s not like I know.
    Anyway, what I mean to say is, I would love to learn more about it.

    Kind regards,
    Elphaba

    Summary

    Galinda Arduenna Upland is a newly famous artist thanks to social media and her work in the wedding industry, finally getting her own show within the prestigious Emerald City Art Gallery. Elphaba Thropp is a semi-famous defense attorney desperate to make sure her little sister's wedding goes off without a hitch.

    Galinda needs inspiration for her final piece, and Elphaba needs Galinda so her sister's big day is everything she desires. After a clumsy consultation, an impromptu phone call and business dinner that turns into something more personal, the women strike a deal:

    Galinda will paint Nessa's wedding, and Elphaba will be the model for Galinda's final piece for her art show.
