    Summary

    “I could teach you how to do this, too!” She’d used that refrain so many times today, it seemed, that it was the first thing her mind reached for when presented with a blank slate. She imagined herself saying, I’ll teach you how to flirt and flounce, how to fix your hair, and how to touch yourself.

    Or: Glinda gets Elphaba off for educational purposes and they both have a lot of feelings about it.

    Summary

    “What unfinished business could you possibly have?”

    “Mm, wouldn’t you like to know?” Agatha grins and then lifts her hand in a wave. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a teenager to haunt. See you around.”

    “Agatha!”

    Rio’s voice rings out all around her as Agatha flees.

    She passes through houses as she goes, cackling long and hard.

    Oh, death is going to be so much fun.

    AKA. Agatha is a ghost. Rio hates ghosts. Agatha decides to spend her afterlife annoying the hell out of her ex-wife. What could go wrong, haunting Death herself?

    Summary

    Rio’s face was already warm and sweaty from working in the early spring sun, but now her face is heated for another reason. She tries to turn away, pretend like she never saw anything, but before her mind can battle against her body and rip her eyes from this fucking bombshell, blue eyes glance her way and catch her in the act.

    “Hey!” It’s at this that Rio notices that not only is this woman prancing around in her underwear near open windows, but the window is a little cracked, making Rio able to hear this woman crystal clearly. “What do you think you’re—”

    Rio’s mouth opens to say something, anything— working really hard to not look like a fish out of water— but her wheelbarrow hits a stray rock in Lilia’s yard and she falls headfirst into the pile of literal dirt.

    — — — — —

    OR, Rio is only trying to do a favor for her godmother; the last thing she needs is one of her godmother’s eccentric neighbors parading around in her underwear. Especially when said neighbor is extremely hot.

    based on the comic by evgar_ on twitter!
