Summary
“I just wanted to say I had absolutely nothing to do with the changes. I mean honestly, when they asked for recommendations I asked if I could be alone,” Galinda starts, gesticulating as she talks, launching into something that can only generously be described as a ramble.
More bewildered than anything, Elphaba can’t do anything but watch as words tumble forth from Galinda’s mouth, as she goes on and on, probably further attempting to absolve herself of any blame.
Suddenly, Elphaba remembers that she hasn’t actually seen who her roommate is…
And she’s got a sneaking suspicion that her assignment is standing right in front of her.
(Or: stage management should be easy for Elphaba, but the actors seem to go out of their way to make it difficult— namely Galinda Upland, her new roommate, hellbent on disrupting every inch of Elphaba’s carefully-laid routine.)
(Or or: sometimes you need enrichment time (extroverts adopting you) in your enclosure (stagemanaging a national tour))

Sweet, funny and delightful, and Elphaba needs to be hit with a brick to finally grasp she’s being flirted with.

Summary
Elphie’s supply becomes their supply, and Galinda’s bed theirs too. When it comes time for Elphaba’s late night routine, she picks up two tangerines and makes her way over to Galinda’s bed to eat them. Sometimes she takes coursework along, sometimes a book, sometimes nothing at all. On those last occasions, it is only their chatter and voices filling the evening time. It is a routine that Galinda comes to cherish. Being able to spend more time with her friend, being allowed to share in this small piece of Elphaba’s heart. For every few slices that Elphie eats, she gives just as many to Galinda.
Or:
As the two of them grow closer at Shiz, Elphaba's routine becomes Galinda's routine as well.Bookmarked by Zmeyche

Misunderstandings, confusion, love and a happy ending. A good ratio of angst and fluff. Makes you crave even more domestic Gelphie. Would reread.

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.

I am properly and thoroughly impressed.
I have the feeling that this fic will stay among those I will be coming back to again and again in the future.
