    Summary

    She pressed a soft kiss to Elphaba’s temple and tucked her
    closer.

    Sleep tugged at the edges of her awareness, thick and sweet. They were warm. Safe. Alone.
    At peace.
    And then—
    Very softly, from somewhere near her collarbone: “…we should get a strap.”
    Galinda’s eyes flew open. Her thighs clenched involuntarily. “You—” she gasped,
    scandalized only by the timing. “You absolute menace.”

    Elphaba, already smirking against her skin, hummed innocently. “Just thinking ahead.”

    The One Time They Were Finally Alone)”

    A veritable manor by the lakeside, complete with boats and a beach and floats for the water. A summer season, something to write postcards and scrapbook pages about. Something to reminisce on years in the future, someday in the far off future when she was asked about her college years. But the real selling point had been Elphaba, of course it had.

    or, the friend group takes a trip to Fiyero’s summer house near the Great Kells. Galinda is entirely smitten. Excessively indulgent gelphie summer vacation fluff in honor of the season!

    Summary

    They called her wicked. They crowned her good. But Oz was never that simple.

    Weeks after Elphaba’s defiance, Glinda is left holding a wand, a title, and a thousand regrets. Behind the public smile is a girl quietly rewriting spells, unlearning everything she was taught—and waiting for the second chance she swore she wouldn’t miss.

    When Elphaba returns under cover of night, Glinda follows. What begins as a stolen moment becomes a revolution. Secrets surface. Power shifts. And somewhere between spellwork and sabotage, two women rewrite what it means to be good.

    The world remembers heroes and villains.

    But goodness knows… the truth doesn’t always make history.

    Posted by: EsmeraldAshes
    2 hours ago

    Have you ever felt the weight of gravity. Not just on your body, but on your soul?…

    ****************************************

    When Elphaba first posted anonymously in the Witchcraft Fans forum, she never imagined a single reply would come—let alone that her mysterious pen pal would become someone so essential to her world.

    When Galinda quietly slipped into the forum, she didn’t expect to be captivated by the words woven by the soul behind the name EmeraldAshes. Nor did she plan to answer, much less to begin a correspondence that would win her heart.

    The woman has long blond hair, a straight nose, and thin lips. She looks like a delicate thing, small inside the crater in fetal position. She is entirely naked.

    But that’s not the most surprising thing. No, the magic thumping in Elphaba’s veins tells her:

    This woman is a god.

    “What are you doing here?”

    “I should ask that of you. Seriously, Elphie, a religious convent? Who have you become?”

    “You were always a ghost. Even back at Shiz, you were.”

    Summary

    Metropolis has been abjectly miserable for the past two years, no one for Lena to turn to with her problems or anxieties. The closest thing she’s had to a friend has been her favorite Chinese place’s delivery drivers.

    Lex had been arrested, Sam had left, and Jack had died all in the course of one really, really shitty year, and the year that’s followed has been exponentially more shitty. Lena’s glad it’s almost over, and that she gets to forcibly eject it from her life like a floppy disk carrying a PC-killing virus with her best friend’s help in a foreign country. Even if it’s a rainy, grey Christmas and New Year's in London.

    or

    Lena Luthor flies to London to celebrate the holidays with her best friend, and then she meets some girl named Kara.

    Summary

    Jaina had not been impressed the first time that she’d met Sylvanas Windrunner.

    She’d been shockingly pretty to look at– tall, with broad shoulders that filled out a finely tailored tailcoat, gazing down at Jaina with surprise flitting across even finer elven features. The effect had been ruined almost as soon as she’d opened her mouth, of course.

    Though that may have had something to do with the fact that Jaina had just crashed into her.
