    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

    “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.

    Summary

    Elphaba Thropp has never been one to follow the rules. Rebellious, sharp-tongued, and always pushing against the expectations placed upon her, she’s finally gone too far. In an attempt to straighten her out, her parents send her away for the summer to the sleepy town of Shiz Hollow, where she’s to work under the watchful eye of her no-nonsense uncle at his repair shop. Resentful and itching to escape, she counts down the days until she can return home.

    Glinda Upland has always been the golden girl—perfect grades, a perfect future. But behind the polished exterior, she’s unraveling.She’s been drifting—shutting down, pulling away, and pretending she’s fine when she’s anything but. Worried, her parents send her to spend the summer with her grandmother in the small town of Shiz Hollow, hoping a change of scenery will bring back the girl she used to be.But Glinda isn’t sure she wants to come back at all.

    She’s ready to let go. But before she can fall, a pair of strong hands pull her back. It’s Elphaba Thropp—angry, breathless, and unwilling to let her disappear. In that moment, a deal is made: one summer for Glinda to give life another chance. One summer where Elphaba will help her find the beauty in it again.

    Summary

    Glinda Gale landed in Kansas five-years ago with no memory of where she came from, nor how she came to be in a falling hot air balloon in the first place. Thankfully she’s found a safe home on the prairie, helping take care of Em and Henry’s young niece Dorothy in exchange for their kindness and hospitality.

    Everything changes however when a sudden tornado rips them out of Kansas, landing the pair in the strange and dangerous world of Oz. A place where a beautiful, green Wicked Witch is waiting for them, and nothing is truly as it seems at all.

    Summary

    Elphaba stood there, duffel slung over her shoulder, looking just as horrified as she felt. “What the fuck are you doing here?” she spat before she could stop herself. The blonde’s jaw dropped at that. “You’re asking me?! This is my cabin!” she shot back, arms crossing tight over her chest. “What the hell are you doing here?”

    Oh.

    So that’s what the bad feeling in her gut was about.

    Elphaba inhaled sharply, forcing her voice to level. “This is my cabin.” Glinda scoffed, flipping her ponytail over her shoulder. “You must be mistaken. Shoo.”

    Summary

    “Galinda.”

    Galinda turns at her vanity and smiles softly, as she so often seems to do under Elphaba’s attention. “Yes, Elphie?”

    “I heard the most confusifying rumor today–”

    She erupts in a gasp, whipping to face her roommate so fast that her little stool nearly topples over. “Elphaba Thropp, are you about to gossip with me? Whatever has gotten into you?” She waves the thought away and stands, ready to excitedly flounce around her roommate. “Oh, it doesn’t matter. This calls for a celebratiooon!”

    “Do you know that everyone thinks we’re dating?”

    Galinda freezes in her tracks. “Oh,” she says. “That one.”

    or: everyone thinks gelphie hooked up after the ozdust. they don’t exactly correct them.

    Summary

    In the midst of her grief Galinda's magic presents itself for the first time and sends her into the past to the day she met Elphaba. It's her chance to fix things, but something else is different this time. Where do they go from here?

    ~~

    “I’m sorry.”

    The words came out choked and she didn’t know what she had intended to follow them so any other words that might have been said died on her tongue. It was startlingly close to what she had said last time, though the meaning behind the words couldn’t be more different. Unfortunately, she knew immediately that though she felt completely changed on the inside, they came out in a remarkably similar tone to the last time as well.

    She saw Elphaba’s eyes harden slightly and knew they had been received in the same way. Sorry you are like this. Sorry you’ve had to deal with being such a freak.

    Galinda longed to let the rest of her words spill out into the open to try and make her understand.

    I’m sorry I failed you. I’m sorry I didn’t see you immediately last time. I’m sorry I didn’t go with you when you asked. I’m sorry I never told you how loved you are.

    Summary

    It’s incredible. It’s beautiful. It’s ridiculous and amazing and it’s proof.
    Elphaba slams her head back down, but this time there’s some other emotion bringing tears to her eyes.

    I’m not alone.

    When Glinda dreams, she dreams of rain. Not the soft kind—the kind children sporting raincoats joyfully played in as it helpfully watered the plants. But, torrential rain. Destructive. Hard and heavy, pelting down, flooding the ground around her.

    ***

    Summary

    Disappointment was a common theme in Elphaba’s life. She was right to expect for the proverbial other shoe to drop as the day went on. And drop it did, but instead of the tart feeling of despondence that would come to rain on her parade, the shoe flung at her puzzlement and confusion.

    It was not bad, it was not good either. It was simply… different.

    She, was different.
