Summary
It starts as a tickle in her throat.
The disease is rare but well known throughout Oz for its unique—often painfully beautiful—symptoms. It’s not beautiful to Glinda, though, who finds herself dying as flowers grow in her lungs and strangle her heart, all because her love for the Wicked Witch can’t be returned.
Will Elphaba find out in time, and will her love be strong enough to reverse the disease? Glinda has resigned herself to her fate, but that doesn’t mean she can’t dream of a world in which she could be with her Elphie and live.

Summary
A twig snaps somewhere outside of Aelwyn’s field of view. She looks up from her meal with anguish in her eyes and a comfortable fullness in her gut for the first time in days.
Mother gasps from the edge of the clearing. “Aelwyn, no,” she says, breathy and quiet, as she rushes towards the thing that looks like her daughter.
-
Aelwyn Abernant is free at last. She has found a new home and new friends, and reconciled with her sister. She knows that this is meant to be her happily ever after. Unfortunately, she also knows that for her, nothing is ever that easy.

Summary
Esther won't come to Staten Island to get a haircut but she will let Sofia cut her hair on her apartment balcony, letting the birds come and gather the cut pieces to carry away for their nests. It's become a routine—after a few months, Sofia will begin to notice the way Esther has to constantly brush her hair out of her face and how she toys with the ends unconsciously when they're studying magic together.

Summary
Fig tilted her head as she listened to the Sending spell. “Right off the streets of Leviathan. She’s not hurt, but she’s out of spells and they’ve stuck her in an orb.”
“I will bloody murder them,” Aelwyn fumed. “I will burn their stupid little tower to the ground and melt their spellbooks into slag. Who do they think they are—”
The kids had already leapt into action. Kristen was calling the group thread to marshal up Riz, Gorgug, and Fabian. Fig had rushed upstairs to throw together a pile of gear, returning with a mishmash of bags and weapons and snacks.
The Court of Stars is not willing to let their Elven Oracle simply walk away. Three weeks after returning from the Nightmare Forest, they make another retrieval attempt. Alone and cut off from her party, Adaine is plunged into a battle of wills as she bides her time for escape

Summary
"I have two sons," she said. "Ages five and twelve. They're very bright, and I don't say that as a doting mother. I say that as someone who's seen their IQ scores and discovered that the elder was writing essays for a number of university students at fifty pounds a paper."

“We’re making brownies.”

Summary
The gravestones are lit up by slants of the setting sun, catching on the old etchings of names and lives. Aelwyn shifts the basket in her hands so that she can trail a finger over the tops of them, catching on the crumbling stone and dragging.
“Does that feel nice?” Kristen asks.
“Does what?”
“Loving death?”
“I’m just touching the graves.”
“You don’t ‘just’ do anything.”
Underneath an oak tree, Aelwyn Abernant finds faith, a friend, and a new way to grow.

Summary
SUBSTRATE (n)
1. an underlying substance or layer.
2. the surface or material on or from which an organism lives, grows, or obtains its nourishment.
3. the material on which a process is conducted.---
“Do you miss it?” Gorgug asks. Ice leaks into Fig’s stomach.
“Miss what?”
Drinking? Drugs? The burn of tequila down the back of her throat? The smoky-sweet haze settling under her skin until she feels liquid and calm? The buzz at the back of her head, but one she can control; one she can ride out like a surfer on a ten foot wave? Feeling human and likable and electric and real?
Yeah. She misses it.
“Performing,” Gorgug clarifies.

or; gorgug, fig, and sobriety

Summary
She huffs. “Fine. Let’s see, uh, I resent my girlfriend and love her at the same time. I’m terrified that there’s something wrong with me, that I’m a monster who’s gonna hurt everyone I care about. I think I’m going through some kind of trauma response after Spring Break that I don’t want to dig into, but it’s making my mood shitty. And, cherry on top, my god’s ashamed of me.”
It feels good to say it so bluntly. To someone who has no skin in this game, no feelings tied up in it one way or the other.
Aelwyn whistles. "Woof."
(or: Tracker, in between Spring Break and Fallinel.)

Summary
"If you had asked Riz two hours ago what his plans for postgrad were, this would’ve never made the list. But since Jawbone said the words, Riz can’t get it out of his head. The image of the two of them, best friends, traveling far and wide, licking their wounds in seedy motels, nothing but the skin of their teeth and the rumble of a motorcycle engine. “I mean, think about it,” Riz says, which is exactly what Jawbone told them to do. His voice comes out soft and delicate, like a ceramic figure that can be easily broken. He doesn’t like it. “Think about it. Can you really imagine yourself doing anything else?”'
or
Fabian and Riz take up the mantle of traditional adventuring, just with the added benefit of the internal combustion engine.

Summary
“Riz Gukgak is clever. He knows when he’s done for. He knows when life has him grappled, and when his con save is nat one. He’s transferring to mumple-he’s making a little corner of shame in his bedroom. He’s curling up thinking, trying not to think. And thinking a whole lot about it.
Not like this. Not because he’s a goblin.”
