Summary
In a time different from ours, in a land unlike our own, on the outskirts of Pertha Hills, a distant household stood isolated from the rest of the town. A curse had haunted the women of the Arduenna clan for generations, born of a broken heart that had never been properly dealt with.
When Galinda Arduenna steps out of her family’s estate to experience university life, she vows that love is not for her and she will appreciate every opportunity to navigate the human world—at least temporarily. Everything goes according except for a small detail: Elphaba Thropp. Bold, abrasive, and often unfiltered, Elphaba is a thorn in Galinda’s side. She makes it nearly impossible for Galinda to maintain the fragile line between her ordinary human self and the wolf she becomes during full moons.
This is a story about unexpected connections, the ties forged in loneliness, and the struggle to accept ourselves—even when it’s hardest.
OR
Galinda is a werewolf and Elphaba’s scent is driving her into insanity.

Summary
“Please Elphie, I’m not ready yet. I just-“ She swallowed and could feel the tears about to fall. “I just want to stay with you.”
Elphaba stepped closer and raised her free hand. The backs of her fingers brushed, feather light, over Galinda’s cheek where a tear had finally escaped. Her face was soft with so much affection Galinda could hardly bear to keep looking at her.
“I can’t stop what’s about to happen.” Galinda’s head dropped and her shoulders shook. “But-“
She looked back up at her friend with hopeful eyes.
“I might be able to slow it down a little.”- An extended goodbye in the place of For Good. -

Summary
“A bad omen,” Elphaba said to the voice, turning slowly on her knees and rising ever so clumsily until she fell into a pew, boards hard at her back. “Hello, Glinda. You look ridiculous.”
“So do you,” the girl muttered, and fit her hands along her hips in a very reminiscent sort of way. “Praying, Elphie? And such a dingy chapel at that. You’ll dirty your pretty dress.”
or, glinda comes to visit elphaba in the emerald city chapel three times that one winter.

Summary
“Oh. Oz,” Galinda breathes, taking a step forward. “You’re me. Future me.” Grass crunches under her feet. “Do you have any advice for the you of eleven years ago?”
“I will give you only one piece of advice. Any more, and I’m afraid of what might happen,” Glinda tells her, and Galinda sits up straighter, rapt. Glinda’s face hardens, steels. She scowls into the darkness of the woods around them.
“Stay away from Elphaba Thropp.”
Or: On the night of her nineteenth birthday, Galinda bungles a spell and winds up in touch with an older version of herself. Glinda the Good leaves her with a single piece of advice. Galinda has some trouble taking it.

Summary
“If only someone paid attention to their surroundings while they were flying around on that dirty old thing.” Glinda gestures with a curled lip towards Elphaba’s broom, and Elphaba huffs in irritation.
“Excuse me for not considering all the other flying people out there,” Elphaba drolls, then glances around. They’re in some sort of contraption—a metal platform encased in a shiny, shifting transparent sphere—hovering steady in the fog. “What the hell even is this thing?”
“My bubble,” Glinda announces with a proud lift of her chin.
Or: Bubble sex. Sex in the bubble. And what comes after. (AKA, the one where they start hooking up during intermission and Act II)

Summary
Glinda takes tentative steps forward, nervous and yet also somehow…excited. It has been so long since she last saw her. She pushes open the doors and steps out into the morning air. Even with the sun shining down on her, the wind so high up makes her feel cold down to her bones.
“Elphaba Thropp, I know you’re out here,” Glinda releases the words into the air around her. She can feel eyes on her, but there is no Elphaba to greet her. She sighs defeatedly, “Just come in before the monkeys spot you.”
And then suddenly there she is. The sight of her takes Glinda’s breath away. Those horrendible posters do not do her likeness justice. (Her heart cries out. She has missed her over these five long years.)
Or:
Glinda and Elphaba reunite on the day of her wedding. Partly based on information from the trailer for Wicked: For Good, but made infinitely more gay.Series

Summary
Once settled, Glinda unlocks the mechanism on the side of the enchanted book and flips it open vertically before folding the covers open horizontally. She is surprised when something falls out from between the pages. She leans down to pick up the piece of paper. Her fingers grasp the edge of it and flip it over to find a pamphlet advertising the Emerald City. The cover takes her back to another time. It is worn and wrinkled, the edges softened from the amount of times it has been handled. The pages appear well-loved and taken care of, longing pressed into them. Glinda takes a deep breath before opening the pamphlet up carefully. As expected she finds her own words written in sparkly pink ink:
☙ I hope you get what
your heart desires.
– Galinda ♡But below it, another message has been added. Suspiciously surrounded by small stains of water, Glinda reads the words written in a scrawl that was once familiar to her:
So should you.
I’m sorry.Or:
After everything is said and done, Elphaba returns to let Glinda know she is alive.Series

Summary
“And I have had so many friends,” Glinda jokes. Even if there is truth to her words, how many of those friends would she call true? The moment of levity lands. She is rewarded with her favorite sound in the whole world: Elphaba’s laugh.
It rings out clear as a bell. The sound so rare it sounds even sweeter to Glinda’s ears. The way her eyes twinkle, how her nose scrunches up, the gap between her front teeth showing before her mouth settles into a soft fond smile. Being able to make Elphaba laugh will always be her greatest achievement. And in that moment when she hears the sound again, her heart clenches painfully, so full of love. (Her Elphie has returned to her.) Glinda can’t stop the earnestness that slips into her voice even if she would have wanted to.
“But only one that mattered,” she confesses the truth to her. Her guts spilled out in front of her for Elphie’s perusal.
Or:
Glinda and Elphaba say goodbye, or do they? Based on the Wicked: For Good trailer featuring that scene where they almost kiss, but now they actually do.Series

Summary
Glinda calls out to her, “Elphaba Thropp, I know you’re out here.” (I can smell your blood and your fear. I can hear the pounding of your heart as it pumps that life-sustaining liquid through your veins.) She hears Elphaba’s heart skip a beat at the sound of her name on her tongue. It has been too long since they last saw each other. Knowing exactly where she is standing, Glinda turns towards her. Even in darkness, or especially in the dark of night, her eyes focus on the black shape in the shadows. Elphaba looks beautiful. Glinda licks her lips surreptitiously. Her teeth ache as the hunger returns in full force.

Summary
“Fiyero won’t sleep with me,” she said. Their bodies were touching now, her naked clavicle against Elphaba’s leather coat. It had a musky female smell to it, amplified, she imagined, by the smell of Elphaba’s skin, her sweat, the sweet oils in her hair. It suggested rough, unspeakable things. If Elphaba had grown into the woman who could wear this coat, what else might she have grown into?
”He never touches me, unless we’re in public.” Her lips inches from Elphaba’s ear. “But I don’t want him, Elphie. I want you…”

Summary
"Can I ask you something?" Galinda whispers, pulling back just enough to see her Elphaba nods, cautious but open.
Galinda hesitates—a pause, careful and quiet. Not from embarrassment, but from care. She knows she’s stepping gently into something delicate.
"Have you ever…" she begins, clearing her throat, a sharp flutter in her belly, "touched yourself?"
Elphaba goes still.-

Summary
“You’re in pain.”
Elphaba gave a dry laugh, hollow and practiced. “Aren’t we all?”
“I’m not being poetic.”
“Shame,” she murmured. “I was enjoying the illusion.”
Glinda stepped closer. “Elphie - please.”
OR
Being the Wicked Witch has a price - one measured not in infamy, but in exhaustion, in the quiet erosion of self, and in blue eyes that never stop watching her fall apart.

Summary
“You should have left Nessa out of this,” Elphaba continues, approaching but still out of sight. “She– she did nothing to you. If you wished to wound me after Fiyero, you could have—”
“That’s not how it happened,” Glinda interrupts suddenly. She’s trembling. “You don’t understand.”
“Oh?” Elphaba says, but she doesn’t sound particularly curious, not really. Righteous anger. Always so righteous, and right for it. “What don’t I understand? Tell me.”
Glinda opens her mouth, then closes it. There’s so much she could say. So much she wants to, but it all feels out of reach. She can’t help but think it pitiful really, that when she really needs her words, she can’t find them, but before a crowd of thousands, the lies pour from her like tears.
“You should get out of here, Elphaba,” she tells her instead. “Before someone discoverates you. Please.” She leaves the chocolate for Nessa and scoops up her useless, useless wand. “We both should.”
(Or, a re-write of the cat fight scene with a twist. Crowlinda beloved.)

Summary
Morrible unfurls Glinda’s mind like a scroll, examining the contents of her memory the way she examined the displayed organs of the first fetal pig she ever dissected. It’s less cohesive than the innards of a pig. That’s the problem with memory bound by emotion. Love is diffuse. It so easily becomes entangled in every aspect of the human experience, regardless of whether the target was physically present or not. Extracting it with any amount of elegance can get…dicey.

Summary
There it was at once—the power, that indescribable quality that drew Galinda to her and repelled her at once, repelled her because it spoke to her of things she did not want to face in herself.
Elphaba was beautiful, and Galinda told her so, and then, in a sudden ecstasy of tenderness, she leaned forward and kissed her cheek, and then, just to see what it would feel like, kissed her mouth.

Summary
Elphaba is out in the forest when she feels a pricking at the back of her neck. It's more persistent than usual, the feeling somehow too agitated to be a regular warning about an animal wandering too deep into her territory; she curses under her breath, grabs the broom, and sets to fly. It's just a coincidence that she's not too far away now, who knows what she might find otherwise?

or, Glinda finds Elphaba's hideout in the forest, and it spirals from there. Inspired by the For Good trailer.Bookmarked by imaburger
