    Summary

    Galinda Upland (of the Upper Uplands) is having a disastrous start to her first year at Shiz University. There's nothing wrong with liking things exactly the way she likes them, but nothing is going according to plan. Not only is she forced to share a dorm with a green freak like Elphaba Thropp, but she's also been unceremoniously dumped by Fiyero, who is looking for someone more "serious"... like Elphaba.

    Determined to prove a point, Galinda makes a bold wager with her friends. Galinda bets a hundred dollars that she can seduce Elphaba and steal a kiss before Fiyero ever gets the chance.

    How hard could it be?

    Summary

    At Shiz University, two young women find their worlds colliding in ways neither could ever have imagined. Elphaba Thropp, the misunderstood, outcast, has always been the girl who stands apart—shunned by her peers, her sharp mind often her only companion. Glinda Upland, the glamorous and social darling of the campus, lives a life of privilege and ease, always surrounded by adoring friends and a world that expects nothing less than perfection.

    When fate forces them to share a dorm room, their differences spark a rivalry that seems impossible to overcome. Elphaba’s disdain for Glinda’s shallow world clashes with Glinda’s relentless desire to be liked and adored. But as they navigate the twists of academic life, political unrest, and the looming shadows of their futures, something unexpected begins to bloom between them. What starts as a begrudging tolerance soon evolves into a deeper, more complicated bond—one that neither of them can deny.

    "Because I Knew You." is a love story set against the backdrop of political intrigue, friendship, and self-discovery—a tale of two souls who, despite the odds, find each other amidst a world that’s anything but kind.

    Summary

    “What are you doing here?”

    “I should ask that of you. Seriously, Elphie, a religious convent? Who have you become?”

    “A ghost,” said Elphaba. “If I'm anything at all.”

    “You were always a ghost. Even back at Shiz, you were.”


    Or, Glinda visits the cloister of her namesake. Things spiral from there.

    Summary

    It starts with a thunderstorm. A question. A look. And before either of them can name what’s happening between them, it’s already begun.

    Elphaba Thropp never meant to care. Glinda Upland never meant to change. But the world has other plans. What begins as reluctant roommateship evolves into something neither of them can define—tenderness forged in trauma, understanding born in silence, and a slow, unexpected unraveling of everything they thought they knew about themselves.

    In the shadow of secrets and scars, they begin to stitch each other back together—one soft glance, one gentle touch, one late-night whisper at a time. But healing isn’t linear, and love doesn’t erase the past. Especially not when that past fights to define who they’re allowed to become.

    This is a reimagining of Elphaba and Glinda’s story—one full of hurt, hope, and the kind of love that burns quietly but leaves nothing untouched.
