    Summary

    And so it goes: movies, blankets, comfort food takeout for dinner; naps, lingering gazes, brushing fingers through hair; a smile that doesn’t reach the eyes, a laugh that fades too quickly, a chest so tight that it must be noticeable.

    But if they notice, they don’t say anything, and that’s fine by her.

    Summary

    “And? Have you found a purpose here?”

    “Well, as I said in my letter, I have more money than I know what to do with, and after meeting all of your lovely little faces, I should like to help you very much indeed.”

    Glinda glanced around, as if trying to find something hidden in their surroundings and coming up short.

    “So long as I can take counsel with your anchoress.”

    That officially dragged proceedings to a halt, all feet stopping in a cluttered shuffle except for Glinda’s pair moving ever forward.

    “With our anchoress?”

    Glinda nodded and put on her most winning smile.

    “The very one,” Glinda said, “Or, rather, I suppose it is possible that you have two? Is the other hiding in the kitchen behind the preservatives?”

    Summary

    Glinda shook her head and tried to call out for Milla, a guard, anyone really– hadn’t they heard her fall? Although that is her fault for having so few people around the palace anyway. As Glinda opened her mouth, the noise that came out was more of a bleat. Glinda furrowed her brows in confusion, but sure enough, opening her mouth once again, another bleat. As a matter of fact, now that Glinda had a much better awareness of her bearings, she noted the dress she’d been wearing was a pile on the floor. She couldn’t be nude, no, she didn’t feel chilled. And in fact, she was much shorter than she should be. Glinda knew she was on the shorter side for Gillikinese, but she was certain she used to be able to reach the shelves.

    As she moved to step out of the pile that was her dress, Glinda noted the hooves that occupied the space her feet should. Her legs were wobbling as she took a few shaky steps toward the mirror in the corner of the room. Peaking into the mirror confirmed– sure enough– Glinda was no longer human. She was now instead a deer.

    Summary

    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 escalate as Elphaba's comfort with herself and others grows. But what starts as an exercise in psychology might just prove the be the basis of something more.

    Summary

    Elphaba thinks: No more incidents. No more of this, this thing in her life that causes incidents. She’s done. She did that, and it ruined her life several times over, and now she’s done. Fresh start. New leaf. Clean slate.

    No more vampire slaying.
