    Summary

    “Do you remember Madame Morrible and her awful Prop and Ganda department? Well, I figured that I could put them to actual good use. And so I did a little image rehabilification.”

    “A little?”

    Glinda twirls a strand of blonde hair around her finger, not meeting her eyes. “Tiny. Microscopical. Infinitesimal. Just a whisper of a coordinated multiyear plan involving publicists, historians, theater troupes, and a very spirited group of fans.”

    Elphaba blinks.

    Glinda smiles sweetly.

    “Elphaba,” she says gently, “darling—to come back from a smear campaign, you simply must have good press.”


    Or, Elphaba spends ten years being dead. Oz spends ten years falling in love with her. She did not request a redemption arc, let alone one so exuberant.

    "I think I'd rather have you there with me," Galinda said, without really thinking about it. “Just in case."

    Summary

    "Um, Galinda? Are you alright?"
    "Are you…knitting?"
    Elphaba blinked, confused and glanced down at her own hands, the needles still carefully held "…Yes? Why?" Was it some kind of social thing she didn't understand that's causing her friend to act that way?
    The blonde shook her head a bit, her loose curls bouncing slightly, her eyes only then locking onto Elphaba's "No, it's just…I didn't know you did. You never mentioned it before."

    Or,

    After a surprise care package from back home, Elphaba embarks on the crafty hobby of knitting. Galinda gets very interested in spending quality time with her as she learns.
