Summary
Glinda hadn’t realized it was her. Until the woman turns. And yes; razor sharp cheekbones, mesmerizing emerald eyes framed by long lashes, those curious infinity-frame glasses through which she peers, meeting Glinda’s shocked stare– that certainly is Glinda’s ex-girlfriend, one Miss Elphaba Thropp, looking just as incredible as ever. Still the prettiest woman in Oz, as far as Glinda’s aware.
And here Glinda is, cheeks blotchy from stress, eyes watery and nearly on the verge of bawling, hair wind-blasted and disheveled. Perfect.
Elphaba turns the scalpel of her gaze on Glinda, a quick once over with eyes clever and curious, like she can make sense of this disaster with just a look. She arches an eyebrow in question, gestures at the table, shrugs as if to say, it's there if you want it.
__________
Modern!AU Glinda runs into Elphaba at a coffee shop as her engagement collapses, to her great mortification, and surprisingly, Elphaba doesn't hate her after how they ended things.

Summary
Salt-soaked cotton and skin and heat. Faith needs this. Needs to be absolved the best way she knows how. The beginnings of soreness pulse in her knees against the pressure of the rainswept, rough asphalt, but it doesn't matter. Nothing matters but the supplicant and her deity, whose back presses into a brick wall, hands twisting through the dark waves of Faith’s hair possessively.
It's kinda funny, all things considered– what kind of a name is Buffy for a goddess? – but there Faith kneels, worshipping at the altar of a superhuman valley girl, California sunshine even in spite of the cold Atlantic wind rolling over them off the Chesapeake Bay.
__________Or: Faith has a bunch of weird, raised Catholic baggage and she brings it along when she goes down on Buffy in an alleyway.

Summary
Galinda Upland is an up-and-coming architect with one of Oz' premier firms, Morrible & Diggs. She's most definitely straight. (But, still, she has sex with women and tells herself it doesn't count.)
Elphaba Thropp is the dour, antisocial chief legal counsel at the same firm. She's bi. She has needs. People aren't exactly lining up to date her, and Galinda is convenient, even if Elphaba knows better than to get involved with the most closeted woman she's ever met. (Besides, she's absolutely not looking for anything but sex.)
And thus, the arrangement.
Reader, you'll be shocked to find it goes off the rails.

Summary
“Galinda, are you feeling well?” Elphaba asks tentatively, noting a bit of pallor to her lovely roommate’s cheeks. It’s not entirely uncommon, during Galinda’s periods of torpor, that she gets a little waxy-pale, but if she’s feeling under the weather, then wouldn't it be best to make her tea or something?
Golden hair tickling Elphaba's neck, Galinda’s head lolls to the side, looking up at Elphaba through her lashes. “I’m wonderful, darling–oh, don’t look at me like that, you’ll give me a heart murmur with such lovely eyes.” She sighs airily. "Truly, Elphie, I’m fine. Just…a bit peckish, is all."
__________
Elphaba adores her roommate. When she finds out Galinda is a newly turned vampire, and a hungry one at that, she offers to let Galinda feed on her. She just isn't quite expecting to react as strongly as she does.

Summary
Courtney's an unapologetic brat. Mandy has complaints piling up about SDN's invisible menace. So naturally, it's time for a disciplinary conversation.
But Courtney knows exactly how to push her buttons, and things get out of hand a lot easier when both parties may have drunkenly hooked up the weekend prior.

Summary
There’s no burst of dust, the way Faith expects. Only blood at her hands and blood at the stranger’s lips and the chilling sound of a death rattle fighting its way from his lungs.
Or: Faith kills Allan Finch. The Scoobies offer her the literal crumbs of support she needs in order to not give in to darkness. Yes, this is another “Faith stays (mostly) good” season 3 AU.

Summary
Begins mid-RE4 remake and continues on after the final cutscene.
Leon S. Kennedy is a seasoned agent, but he's also just some guy. He's also the boy he was when his family was killed and everything fell apart, he's the rookie cop who just wanted to make the best of it all, and he's the trauma that follows him wherever he goes.
And, in the end, he is always alone.
Sherry is taken in as a ward of the U.S. Government after the fall of Raccoon City. He and Claire both find their own way to fight bioterrorism. Ada Wong is never much more than a specter in the wind, showing up at random and at her leisure to steal a kiss or save his life before walking away for the millionth time.
Enter Ashley Graham, and Leon is reminded of the person he wants to be, and what sort of people can help him do that.
