    Summary

    It’s incredible. It’s beautiful. It’s ridiculous and amazing and it’s proof.
    Elphaba slams her head back down, but this time there’s some other emotion bringing tears to her eyes.

    I’m not alone.

     

    (or: a soulmate au where anything you write on your skin shows up on your soulmates as well)

    Summary

    “Shhh. It’s me, it’s… it’s Glinda.” She’s suddenly not sure that’s going to be at all reassuring to Elphaba. “You’re safe. You’re safe, okay? Just sleep. I promise I won’t—” Won’t what? Tell anyone she’s here? Arrest her herself? Hurt her? Take her broom away? Imprison her? Everything that could finish that sentence feels to Glinda like she’s only reminding Elphaba what she could do. “I promise you’re safe.”

    Elphaba crashes onto Glinda’s balcony, and Glinda has to hide Elphaba from the world while she recovers.

    Summary

    It’s a mystery even to himself how he remembers the expression Cyno always made when they battled eight years ago, but chalks it off to the many recordings of the Champion he has seen along the years. Cyno is, technically, a celebrity; it’s impossible not to see his face plastered everywhere whenever Alhaitham is in town.

    In a way, Cyno’s fame was the one reason why he hadn’t forgotten his childhood rival’s face, even though they had still been kids the last time they saw each other.

    Eight years ago, Alhaitham and Cyno had been neighbors and rivals, but that no longer has anything to do with Alhaitham. It was supposed to stay that way, until the Sages decide to return and Alhaitham is called in to assist the Sumeru Champion in investigating the matter.

    Summary

    Hikaru stares right at him, pupils like pinpricks of blood in the dark.

    “Yoshiki,” he says softly. “You’re still awake?”

    “Why do you like me,” says Yoshiki without preamble or logic. It comes out in a garbled rush.

    Hikaru’s eyes widen.
