    Summary

    “I’m fine. Things are going well. I…” Glinda hesitated. She tried not to ever say anything too sappy to Elphaba, who never knew how to accept such things gracefully, but she couldn’t help it. “I miss you,” Glinda admitted softly. Again, the line went silent for a beat too long. Glinda opened her mouth to soften the admission, but before she could, Elphaba’s quiet voice filled her ear.

    “I miss you, too.”

    After graduation, Elphaba and Glinda find themselves in separate cities and therefore apart for the first time in years. They keep in contact through letters, phone calls, and occasional visits. When Elphaba won’t stop being elusive about how she’s faring after being cut off financially, Glinda worries a completely appropriate amount. (She tries to offer a completely appropriate amount of help, too.)

    Summary

    it wasn’t only enid’s focus in fragments, though. wednesday’s eyes lingered somewhere below hers. she sucked in a breath. oh. wednesday looked up again, the barest flicker of alarm making home in the slope of her face.

    in that moment, the last bridges of enid’s denial collapsed into the ravine they swung over.

    enid wanted to kiss wednesday like the weight of the consequences wouldn’t haunt her lips.

    or:

    enid would be lying if she said it wasn’t wednesday on her mind instead of her boyfriend. she has only one saving grace: she’s good at hiding. but enid’s not sure how much longer she can hide, not when wednesday looks at her the way she does.

    Summary

    “It will be nice to experience the delightful assault of your wardrobe on my eyes in person again,” Wednesday admitted.

    Enid’s smile widened. “Awwww you like me!” she teased. “You totally miss me.”

    “The same way one misses oxygen when drowning.”

    “So romantic.”

    Summary

    “What are you doing here?”

    “I should ask that of you. Seriously, Elphie, a religious convent? Who have you become?”

    “A ghost,” said Elphaba. “If I'm anything at all.”

    “You were always a ghost. Even back at Shiz, you were.”


    Or, Glinda visits the cloister of her namesake. Things spiral from there.

    Summary

    Galinda was hoping to get into Madame Morrible's seminar, have a private suite, and date a prince during her years at Shiz. Everything would be chronometrically perfect, just as she had promised Momsie and Popsicle. But when Elphaba Thropp crashes her way into Shiz, Galinda begins to feel like she’s in free fall. And maybe she is — falling toward something beautiful. Something impossibly beautiful.
