    Summary

    A brush of the arm, a touch of the hand.

    Galinda likes to be close to people, Elphaba has noticed.

    --

    After a lifetime of neglect and ostracization, Elphaba is not what you would call 'good at being close to people.' When Galinda notices her new best friend flinches from every touch, she proposes an experiment: exposure therapy, a way to start small and help Elphaba grow more comfortable with herself and others, one touch at a time.

    But what started as an exercise in psychology might just prove to be the basis of something more.

    Summary

    Three years after Defying Gravity, Elphaba returns to the Emerald City hoping to make peace. But when she reunites with Glinda, nothing is as she imagined—and what begins as a tender, long-awaited reunion slowly reveals something far more painful, and far more intimate, as she uncovers what Glinda has been forced to survive without her.

    (Elphaba would walk through hell & back for Glinda if it means finally resting her tired feet at home with her)

    Summary

    She's been doodling.

    What starts out as little flowers and trees turns into letters.
    J + S.

    Around it, she draws a careful heart, trapping the letters inside the shape. A dopey smile creeps up Jackie’s face.

    Jackie plus Shauna.

    She knows it's corny. But she can’t help herself anymore. Not with this gnawing feeling inside her chest. Not when the phantom sensation of Shauna's touch on her wrist is burned into her memory.

    “What are you doing?”

    Jackie jumps in surprise. The paper slips from her lap and gently floats to the ground, landing face up in front of Shauna.

    Jackie sighs in relief. “Oh. It’s you.”

    Or;

    Jackie never meant to confess – especially not like that. But Shauna sees more than she was supposed to, misunderstands it completely, and lashes out. Now Jackie’s hurt, trying desperately to fix what she broke, while Shauna stays angry for all the wrong reasons.

    Summary

    Pretty, Elphaba thinks. It shocks her, how easily it comes to her, but there’s really no other word for it. No one, in all her life, has ever looked at Elphaba like Galinda is right now. No one, in all her life, has ever looked this happy to see her.

    “Welcome to Shiz University, Elphaba Thropp. I have a feeling we’re going to be very good friends.”
     

    or: glinda travels back in time to the day she first met elphaba. and elphaba hasn’t got a clue

    Summary

    What if the Yellowjackets never made it to nationals, so instead they go on a cruise to drown away their sorrows? Friendships and relationships get put to the test as they all confront the fact that things are changing after this summer, but just maybe things will change for the better.

    An ode to all my favorite cannibalistic soccer players and Carnival cruises. I love you both.
