    Summary

    In exile as a political prisoner at a remote estate, Glinda's only companion is a woman named Elphaba, a quiet, exacting servant with a sharp tongue and her defenses high. But what begins as a reluctant cohabitation blossoms, slowly, into something quietly consuming and difficult to name. As time passes, the two women navigate the aching gravity of intimacy—and allow themselves, for the first time, to be seen.

    AKA

    The medieval au that is not very prison-y and much more yearn-y than it has a right to be

    Summary

    Three years after their secret reunion, Elphaba and Glinda have built a hidden life in the heart of the Emerald City with their daughter Lyra. But it can't stay secret forever.

    When a magical bond connects them soul to soul, sharing every sensation and emotion, their carefully constructed sanctuary becomes both blessing and curse. As the Purists rise to hunt those they deem "corrupted", and a figure from Elphaba's past offers dangerous comfort, the family must face impossible choices.

    Through betrayal, separation, and a bond that won't let them look away from each other's pain, Glinda and Elphaba discover that sometimes the greatest love stories end not with triumph, but with terrible price of truth.

    Sequel to "Two Green Lines" - can be read standalone but recommended to read the first story for better experience.

    Summary

    "All of Oz thinks I’m dead.”
    “Not all of Oz,” Glinda said. Something like shame flickered across Elphaba’s green face. “Water, Elphaba, really?”
    “You know the rumors. Apparently I’m so wicked water can melt me.”
    “Well, I can agree that you’re wicked, but the rest of the sentiment is ridiculous.”

    Ten years after the melting, Glinda gets a visitor whom she is less than pleased (and unsurprised) to see.

    Summary

    The world, Elphaba Thropp had decided, was divided into two types of people: those who were good, and those who were clever.
    And she was not good.

    When Elphaba begins falling for Galinda, she must decide if her feelings for her roommate are worth dragging Galinda into the political nightmares of Oz… and what the consequences of falling in love in such a climate could mean for them both.

    Summary

    “Come with me.” Elphaba’s mouth completely bypasses her brain which seems to be a terrible side effect of being around Galinda.

    Galinda scrambles up on to her knees, “what?”

    “To Colwen Grounds.” Elphaba tries valiantly to fight off the warm flush that’s working its way across her cheeks, “come with me to Colwen Grounds.”

    Elphaba invites Galinda to spend Lurlinemas with her.

    Summary

    The memories of the Melting wouldn’t leave her, and neither did the grief. Glinda tried everything she could to fall asleep: switching rooms, rubbing lavender lotion on her hands, even drinking a foul tasting concoction that one of her handmaidens swore would put her to sleep as soon as her head hit the pillow (it didn’t). And even when she did manage to fall asleep sometime just before dawn, Elphaba’s screams jarred her awake. 

    So one night Glinda found herself sitting at the desk in her study with a blank sheet of paper in front of her. Dear Elphaba, she wrote, and then watched the words waver at the top of the page. She crossed them out and started over. Dearest Elphaba . It was ridiculous. Elphaba would never read her words again. But she found that they came anyway, faster than she could commit them to paper. 

    Or: Glinda begins writing letters to Elphaba in the aftermath of the Melting. When she pushes herself beyond the point of exhaustion four years later, Chistery decides to take matters into his own hands and deliver the letters to Elphaba in an attempt to save Glinda's life.

    Summary

    Pretty, Elphaba thinks. It shocks her, how easily it comes to her, but there’s really no other word for it. No one, in all her life, has ever looked at Elphaba like Galinda is right now. No one, in all her life, has ever looked this happy to see her.

    “Welcome to Shiz University, Elphaba Thropp. I have a feeling we’re going to be very good friends.”

    Greetings,

    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

    Oz needs its ruler.

    The Wasteland needs a flower.

    --------------------------

    Glinda does not know when she fell pathetically, incurably, disastrously in love with Elphaba Thropp. She knew, twisting in her sheets at night that first day in Shiz, hot, there was a pulse, no small, infinitesimal stirring of feeling; burning. Some unknown plunge from the ice bath into a volcano.

    Summary

    Galinda Upland (of the Upper Uplands) is having a disastrous start to her first year at Shiz University. There's nothing wrong with liking things exactly the way she likes them, but nothing is going according to plan. Not only is she forced to share a dorm with a green freak like Elphaba Thropp, but she's also been unceremoniously dumped by Fiyero, who is looking for someone more "serious"... like Elphaba.

    Determined to prove a point, Galinda makes a bold wager with her friends. Galinda bets a hundred dollars that she can seduce Elphaba and steal a kiss before Fiyero ever gets the chance.

    How hard could it be?

    Summary

    “You may forever be the love of my life Elphaba Thropp, but I don’t believe even that is enough for all this.” Glinda whispered, before allowing herself a moment of weakness and pressing pink lips to Elphaba’s lips quickly pulling away before it could turn into anything else. “Now you must let me return to my husband. You had your chance Miss Thropp, you chose to die instead.” Glinda said, stepping back towards the door.

    OR:

    Glinda finds out that Elphaba has been alive for the last eight years and she has a son.

    Summary

    Glinda was still trying to hold Elphaba tighter. And tighter. And tighter. She felt this inexplicable anxiety in regards to Elphaba escaping through her fingers like warm sand. Vaporizing. Like she used to do in her dreams whenever Glinda reached out to touch her. In those recurrent dreams, Glinda had learned to keep her distance from Elphaba. That way, she didn’t vaporize. That way, Glinda was able to enjoy the sight of her for many seconds. The blonde actually thought about keeping her distance just now, because Elphaba very much could vaporize again. She was good at it. But, before Glinda could tell her own body not to, she was already closing her eyes and taking the leap. And it was so worth the risk!

    Or:

    "Careful. Your dress."
    "I don't care!"

    Summary

    A brush of the arm, a touch of the hand.

    Galinda likes to be close to people, Elphaba has noticed.

    --

    After a lifetime of neglect and ostracization, Elphaba is not what you would call 'good at being close to people.' When Galinda notices her new best friend flinches from every touch, she proposes an experiment: exposure therapy, a way to start small and help Elphaba grow more comfortable with herself and others, one touch at a time.

    But what started as an exercise in psychology might just prove to be the basis of something more.
