Summary
The memories of the Melting wouldn’t leave her, and neither did the grief. Glinda tried everything she could to fall asleep: switching rooms, rubbing lavender lotion on her hands, even drinking a foul tasting concoction that one of her handmaidens swore would put her to sleep as soon as her head hit the pillow (it didn’t). And even when she did manage to fall asleep sometime just before dawn, Elphaba’s screams jarred her awake.
So one night Glinda found herself sitting at the desk in her study with a blank sheet of paper in front of her. Dear Elphaba, she wrote, and then watched the words waver at the top of the page. She crossed them out and started over. Dearest Elphaba . It was ridiculous. Elphaba would never read her words again. But she found that they came anyway, faster than she could commit them to paper.
Or: Glinda begins writing letters to Elphaba in the aftermath of the Melting. When she pushes herself beyond the point of exhaustion four years later, Chistery decides to take matters into his own hands and deliver the letters to Elphaba in an attempt to save Glinda's life.

Summary
Elphaba made a small, frustrated noise and tried to roll away again, but Galinda’s hand landed gently on her arm, halting her retreat. The touch was featherlight, but it carried weight. “Please don’t hide,” Galinda said quietly.
“I’m not hiding.”
“You’re under three blankets.”
“Drafts,” Elphaba muttered.
Galinda smiled helplessly. “Elphie.”
The name was soft but deliberate, a tether. Elphaba stilled. For a long moment, the only sound was the faint tick of rain against the window.
OR
Galinda can barely think straight around Elphaba.

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
Galinda Upland is the darling of the Emerald City, having been adopted by the Wizard after her parents’ untimely death when she was an infant. For as long as she can remember she’s been making people smile and representing the Wizard at Emerald City functions. She has the rest of her future planned out: go to Shiz, network, and then return to the Emerald City to continue to charm the populace of Oz as much as she can without having magic. She's excited to make new friends at Shiz even if she isn't able to study Sorcery, her passion.
But when she meets Elphaba Thropp on her first day and the two become unexpected roommates, everything changes. Elphaba is smart and perceptive, and makes Galinda see Oz--and herself--in new ways. As Elphaba realizes something sinister is happening to the Animals, Galinda realizes that the secrets they're uncovering go much deeper than either of them imagine, so deep that they contradict the stories she's been told about her own past.
Or: Act 1 but Galinda was raised in the Emerald City
