    Summary

    “You don’t think…” Shenshen whispered as she watched the scene unfold. “In front of all these people?” Pfannee blinked, pinching himself to make sure he wasn’t dreaming as he watched and listened to his friend's advances.

    “Elphaba Thropp,” Galinda addressed loudly, her voice cutting through the murmurs of the crowd. “You better let me back into your life this instant!”

    —or, In an alternate Oz, where Animal rights aren’t being threatened, more mundane challenges reveal themselves… Such as Galinda Upland going slightly insane after her first lesbian breakup (much to Shenshen and Pfannee’s horror).

    Summary

    Isabel is looking at her.

    This is everything Josie has ever dreamed of, ever thought of for the past ten years. This moment is perfect.

    Except that she’s a liar.

    Except that she’s been lying, and Isabel seems to like someone Josie is pretending to be, not who Josie really is. Except that Josie isn’t that different from all the other people in Isabel’s life who won’t tell her the truth.

    But Isabel doesn’t know that.

    a Josie character study (+ her relationship with Isabel)

    Summary

    This somehow feels different to everything else they’ve tried so far; they’ve been together over a year, yet Jamie’s only just recently said ‘I love you’ for the first time. Doing something like this would be…

    “Hey.” She’s pulled out of her reverie by Jamie’s soft voice. All traces of a smile have slipped from her face, and she looks genuinely concerned. “We don’t have to if you really don’t want to. I’ll go brush my teeth and we can go to bed without another word about it. ‘S’not a problem.”

     

    (Or: the one where they decide to experiment in the bedroom, and they love each other so very, very much.)

    Summary

    And if Jamie speeds off a little recklessly and accelerates up Laurel Canyon Boulevard far too fast just to garner a hearty laugh from Dani, well, Dani wouldn’t dare complain because it’s these little things, small displays of affection, that make her heart full.

    OR

    Little fragments of Dani and Jamie’s life together throughout the seventies. A loose sequel to “Freedom’s Just Another Word…”

    Summary

    It’s Friday, December 1st, 2006, the first time.

    She’s there when Dani arrives at the café — and there she remains when Dani exits after her pre-work Full English, sitting next to the entrance with her head down, knees drawn up to her chest and a bottle of Stella Artois in one hand at the grand hour of nine o’clock in the morning. The day-drinking isn’t the only thing that catches Dani’s eye; the total lack of appropriate clothing for the middle of Great British winter more so gives her pause. She can’t imagine a single Blondie t-shirt with an open flannel button-up and denim cut-off shorts is a terribly comfortable outfit in one-degree-Celsius weather.

    So, Dani speaks up.

     

    (Or: the one where Jamie’s just got out of prison and Dani’s too kind for her own good.)
