    Summary

    Galinda Upland has never been anything other than her mothers’ pride and joy.

    Which is why when Elphaba tells her, quiet and reserved in their room that same night they get home from the Ozdust, “My father hates me,” Galinda feels nothing but shock and horror.

    Or: Galinda loves her moms, and she absolutely hates Elphaba’s dad.

    Summary

    “We don’t have time,” Elphaba says. “Are you coming?” It’s not so much a question as it is the realization of a denial. Of course Glinda isn’t going to come with her.

    Glinda doesn’t answer, instead she wraps her arms around Elphaba’s shoulders and they share a hug so fierce Elphaba is sure she’ll have the imprints of Glinda’s hands on her for the rest of her days.

    “Elphie—we’ll fix it, alright? Just don’t be a stranger. I'll wait and I'll find you, but now go.”


    Or, Elphaba leaves, but she’s not very good at staying away and Glinda is not very good at letting her go.

    Summary

    Elphaba's eyes narrow. That feeling's back again, too, thrumming in the palms of her hands. There's a biting retort on her lips. But then she spots something else on Galinda's arm, just below her jewelry: pink rose petals and delicate leaves shaded faintly in green.

    "You—what is that?"

    "What's what?" Galinda looks down, then tilts her head up as she looks at Elphaba through long eyelashes. Slowly, like she's talking to a child, she says, "It's a tattoo."

    --

    OR: It's Wicked, Part 1, and everything is exactly the same—except that Galinda Upland has tattoos.

    Summary

    Her newest idea is her best yet. For every insult Galinda throws her way, Elphaba responds with a compliment. Her shoes, her hair, her sparkly eyeshadow- Elphaba will find something to praise. It throws the blonde off her game every time, making her blush and stutter. It’s genius.

     

    Or: Elphaba accidentally wins over the most complimented girl in school by…complimenting her???

    Summary

    Despite it all—all meaning familial trauma and neglect, casual social ostracization, and the general crushing weight of existence—Elphaba liked to think of herself as an optimist.

    If she wasn’t, after all, she certainly wouldn’t be doing this.

    Or: It starts with a blind not-date. It ends with a not-blind date.
