Summary
there are very few things in this world galinda upland loves more than she does a satisfying win following a long, drawn-out (sometimes arduous, sometimes downright painful) trial — and there are very few things she hates more than when elphaba thropp smugly and unceremoniously snatches that highly-anticipated win, that final golden ruling in her favor, from her grasp without so much as a single warning given beforehand.

Summary
“i’m exhausted. i don’t know where the last few years have gone. my kids are my entire life and they’re all having a hard time, but in different ways, and i’m trying to help them but i feel like i’m failing them anyway because i’m barely at home anymore. i can’t divide my attention between them the way i could when i wasn’t working, because now i work every spare shift i can pick up. i do it so i can make sure they won’t go hungry because their dad couldn’t give them the same consideration and i—,” beth stops herself, stutters out a breath, finishes, “—i’m just… suspended in time, waiting for it to get easier. and i stay up all night sometimes because i can’t stop thinking that maybe it won’t.”

Summary
Galinda knows these games. She’d watched the previous two seasons of The Traitors OZ before auditioning, and it's an entry-level strategy to lie about your career to reduce your threat level. She’s not about to tell her competitors that she’s been a political speechwriter in Emerald City since she graduated from Shiz three years ago, and she’s certainly not planning to reveal that she has The Wizard on speed dial.
...
aka Galinda is a superfan, Elphaba is just here for the money, and they butt heads while filming a reality TV show

Summary
Galinda Upland has a plan for everything. That is, until she blurts out her workplace nemesis's name as her fake girlfriend to her overbearing mother.
Elphaba Thropp is brilliant and infuriating - and the only person who has ever seen through Galinda's perfect facade.
When Elphaba reluctantly agrees to help with the charade, Galinda knows they have just six weeks to make their fake relationship convincing. The deadline? The upcoming Emerald City Gala, where her charming ex-fiancé Fiyero awaits.
—
OR: Galinda lies about dating Elphaba and catches feelings about it.

Summary
“Galinda,” Elphaba starts, but the blonde cuts her off sharply.
“It’s Glinda now.”
“I apologize. Glinda.” The name sounds foreign in Elphaba’s mouth. She clears her throat, “Thanks for meeting with me,” she begins again and suddenly it all makes sense.
So Glinda does what she has always done: straightens her spine, looks at Elphaba, and lies.
Or:
Elphaba is a novelist, Glinda is her editor. But there are years of hurt and tension that might make this project impossible.

Summary
"It's just a shame," Galinda says then, seemingly oblivious to how Elphaba's gaze drifts down to all of that smooth skin on display. "Since I've never been kissed for New Year's!"
"Wait." Elphaba's brain is suddenly short-circuiting. "You—you as in Galinda Upland, you—you've never gotten a New Year's kiss?"
Galinda's pout reappears as she gives her head a solemn nod. "Isn't that a travesty?"
--
AKA: The one where Galinda Upland finally gets a New Year's kiss.

Summary
Right there, in dark, slightly smudged handwriting across the side of the cup, are three simple words: You got this!
Her heart does a weird little flutter.
Her stomach does an even weirder little flip.
Because Elphaba wrote that.
[or: In which, Galinda starts receiving sweet messages on her morning coffee cups and becomes convinced that the beautiful but slightly grumpy barista, Elphaba, is secretly flirting with her. Because surely, this must mean something… right?]
