Summary
Galinda only meant to call her name—but Elphaba flinched like it was a warning. In the silence that followed, Galinda saw just how deeply Elphaba had been taught to brace for cruelty. That moment stays with her, reshaping everything. She makes a promise, soft but unshakable: to prove Elphaba wrong, one word at a time—that kindness doesn’t have to be a prelude to pain.

Summary
Galinda has always adored attention. It was as much a part of her as her curls, her pink, and the charming lilt in her voice when she spoke. She basked in admiration, thrived in it. It was fun, after all—to flirt, to giggle, to have others envy her. After all, she had a charmed life. It would be more surprising to not be jealous of Galinda Upland. She had never, ever, felt the other side of it. Until now.

Summary
Elphaba tells herself she doesn’t care about birthdays.
She’s told herself that for years, ever since she was a young child and realized that her birthday was different.
“Your birth only made things harder,” her father had said once, not unkindly, just… stating a fact.
And so, Elphaba learned young that birthdays were a thing to endure, not celebrate.
She tells herself it’s because it doesn’t matter—because she has more important things to worry about than some arbitrary date, and that birthdays are frivolous, silly things.
Because the last time she let herself want something on this day, she was told in no uncertain terms that she shouldn’t.
So, she doesn’t expect anything now.
She never does.
Which is why, when she accidentally lets a ‘not so secret, secret’ slip in front of Galinda, she immediately regrets it.
Because Galinda, despite the image she portrays, listens, watches, and notices more than anyone else in her life.
