    Summary

    "Soulmate AU where instead of your soulmates first words to you written on your skin it's the last words you ever hear them say so you don't know who your soulmate is until you lose them"
    ---
    Elphaba Thropp never really expected to have a soulmate. Her father had always told her not to get her hopes up- who in their right mind would want her, anyway? She woke up on her fifteenth birthday, and at first she thought he’d been right. It wasn’t until she was getting dressed she caught a glimpse of them- two lines of obnoxiously bright text scrawled over her ribs.

    Summary

    Post-Wicked, modern!Fiyeraba with a twist.

    After years living with the consequences of a spell gone tragically wrong—a mistake that saved Fiyero, but locked him in the Scarecrow form forever—Elphaba has had enough. While Fiyero has accepted his new form with grace, Elphaba, haunted by guilt, can’t stop wondering: is there a way to undo the spell and restore what was lost?
    Her attempt succeeds—partially. Elphaba and Fiyero are transported to the London of 2025, a world where magic exists but so does everything else that feels both familiar and strange. Fiyero, now human again, arrives months ahead of Elphaba. Lost and overwhelmed by the strange new world, he feels isolated and adrift. Seeking solace, he falls back into the shallow, privileged lifestyle he once knew, masking his loneliness and dancing through life.
    When Elphaba finally arrives, she finds herself not only navigating this unfamiliar world but also trying to pull Fiyero out of the life he’s been retreating into.

    Smutty from chapter 8.

    Summary

    Elphaba does not know if she really believes she has a soul.

    This does not change the reality of the timer's existence on her wrist, which is ever so slowly counting down to the singular most important moment she and her unknown soulmate will experience.

    (A world in which—no matter how terrifying it is—the clock is always ticking, and—no matter how lost you get—someone will always find you.)

    Summary

    His torso was patchworked together with mismatched fabrics, the seams fraying at the edges, as if someone had hurriedly thrown him together without much care for appearances. His legs and body were stuffed with straw—hay? No, definitely straw—poking out through gaps in the stitches like he was some forgotten scarecrow abandoned in a field.

    Ah. Oh dear.

    Summary

    “I would never lie to you, Galinda”.
    “You wouldn’t?” she questioned her, then. Open, honest, unquivering.
    Elphaba hesitated.
    And there it was.

    ***

    Elphaba admits what happened in the forest. And yet, nobody expects Galinda to react the way she does. Not even her own self.

    Or - Three hearts tangled up in something messy and spellbinding - no one ever warned them love could happen like this.

    Summary

    “I’m sorry!” Elphaba shouts, and Glinda hates how stricken she looks on what should be the happiest day of her life.

    “It’s okay!” she calls back. “It’s your moment, Elphie! Just tell me everything when you get back!”

    Elphie hears, she’s sure, even if the train is already too far away to make out her face.

    OR:

    Glinda misses the train to the Emerald City. She and Fiyero have a Talk. They start to realize a few things.

    And then they wake up to chaos, Elphaba's name being slandered for all of Oz to hear.

    Summary

    Glinda feels as if she’s died several deaths by now: a piece of her died so that a different Glinda could be born, could be brave and good in a way that the dead part of her never could. She herself lives on, but she has long since killed and buried the Galinda and the Glinda of her youth. This is, of course, metaphorical.

    It’s not quite as metaphorical for Fiyero.

    (Five times they talk about death and one time all three decide to live in the moment.)

    Summary

    Glinda is wrong, he thinks: Elphaba has always wanted to be found, but been far too honorable to impose the price of her decisions on anyone else. “I’ve been doing this on my own for years.”

    “That’s exactly my point.” Fiyero laces their fingers and squeezes her hand lightly. “You didn’t have to. If I had known where you were at any time, nothing would have stopped me from going with you then, either.”

    “You know what I still think about?" Fiyero sits up from where he’s sprawled on their bed, stretching deliberately to draw Elphaba’s gaze. “That time at school, when you asked about my tattoos.”

    She sets down her book and adjusts her glasses on the bridge of her nose. Her gaze catches for an instant on the place where the hem of his shirt is riding up. “You mean that time I mentioned Vinkun tattoo traditions and you couldn’t wait to strip for me?”

    Summary

    "Someday, you and Glinda will make up, and we'll all be together again..."

     

    When she realized where Glinda’s attention kept drifting to, Elphaba softly coaxed the confession out of her with soft, sweet entreaties in her ear. And then asked her what she wanted to do about it.

    Elphaba looked up at her husband. “Come over here, Yero.”

    He did, crawling to sit on the bed before them.

    Summary

    April, 1923. In the dim light of the dance hall, with the condensation from a glass of gin and tonic pressed against her palm and the band crowing out some elaborate jazz number, Elphaba watches Glinda and Fiyero dance and comes to an important revelation.

    Summary

    “Elphie, I think your husband is about to cry,” Glinda sniggered.

    She was probably right. Fiyero looked like he wasn’t even in Oz anymore - his eyes were so wide and blissed out, a bright blush high on his cheeks as he pressed his back against the couch. All of his earlier joking had vanished the second Elphaba had pushed him into the couch, let her skirts fall around them, and told him to stay still for her. Now he looked vaguely like he was going to die.

    Summary

    Galinda shook a hand at her, dismissing the protestations. “Surely, as your social capital grows, you too will be asked on many a whirlwind, romantical picnic! It might not be with someone as handsome as Fiyero, of course, but.” She sat up to give Elphaba a smile and then tossed her head to make her hair cascade around her in a soft flounce. “I can only imagine that you too will have your pick among… hmm, a whole dozen of suitors.”

    “And… not only is this desirable, according to you, but watching you and Fiyero eat various cakes or finger sandwiches or fruits is somehow supposed to help me with all these suitors?”

    “Exactly!”

    “Hmm.”

    Galinda clasped her hands under the chin, sitting up straight on her bed, every line of her body held with breathless anticipation. She took in a breath and held it, biting at her bottom lip.

    Elphaba adjusted her glasses. “Still not interested.”

    And Galinda deflated like a balloon.

    Summary

    The Ozians' adoration was burned into Glinda's mind, their belief in her pressed against her ribs like something suffocating. And the lies—the words she had spoken so effortlessly—tasted foul in a way even her liquor cabinet could not sweeten.

    So she reached for Fiyero, because she knew he would let her. Because she trusted him and he understood her. And that was true even on the days they hated everything else about each other.

    But there was a reason they didn’t do this often anymore.

    Summary

    Considering his very public, much gossiped over string of hookups and heartbreaks, one would think that Fiyero would be okay about having sex.

    This is, of course, not considering the distaste for it that he keeps secreted away, clenched close to his heart and hidden from prying rumor mills, a feeling so private that no one can ever see it in him.

    (But then there's Elphaba.)

    Summary

    We can never come back to Oz can we?”

    Fiyero walked up to where Elphaba was in the window. “No.”

    They stared out at the vast expanse before them one last time before Elphaba stepped back and turned away from the window. “I only wish-“

    The ground beneath them shook.

     

    What happens if they can do it all over again? Can they make things better, or are they doomed to lose every time? Oz was never good with change, but the only thing more stubborn than the Ozians are the ones bringing change.

    Fiyero's roommate sucks. Elphaba makes it just a little better, but maybe that's just because he's absolutely gone for her. Which is a new development, actually, and he's not all that sure what to do about it.
