    Summary

    Galinda Upland is an up-and-coming architect with one of Oz' premier firms, Morrible & Diggs. She's most definitely straight. (But, still, she has sex with women and tells herself it doesn't count.)

    Elphaba Thropp is the dour, antisocial chief legal counsel at the same firm. She's bi. She has needs. People aren't exactly lining up to date her, and Galinda is convenient, even if Elphaba knows better than to get involved with the most closeted woman she's ever met. (Besides, she's absolutely not looking for anything but sex.)

    And thus, the arrangement.

    Reader, you'll be shocked to find it goes off the rails.

    Summary

    Catharina, unwavering in her devotion, greets the arrival of Sister Victoria with a warmth that borders on reverence. Yet behind Victoria’s serene smile lies a beauty too perilous to ignore — the kind that unsettles the soul and gnaws at the sanctity of vows. What begins as innocent admiration slowly festers into something darker, an ache that Catharina cannot name without trembling. Every prayer becomes a battlefield, every glance a silent confession, until the cloister itself feels charged with forbidden longing.

    The weight of religious guilt presses against her chest, whispering that her yearning is sin, that her love is blasphemy. And still, she hungers. In the silence of the convent, desire takes on the shape of devouring — consuming faith, consuming flesh, consuming the self. Catharina is left to confront the most terrifying truth of all: the devil she fears is not Victoria, but the forbidden fire burning within her own heart.

    Summary

    Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

    Summary

    “Here,” she said, her voice soft and quiet. “Let me help you.” Elphaba looked into Glinda’s eyes; they held a sincerity that felt both foreign and familiar. She hesitated a moment and Glinda spoke again, “Elphaba, please.” Elphaba looked down at the olive branch extended to her and slowly slipped her hand into Glinda’s.
