    Summary

    “Come with me.” Elphaba’s mouth completely bypasses her brain which seems to be a terrible side effect of being around Galinda.

    Galinda scrambles up on to her knees, “what?”

    “To Colwen Grounds.” Elphaba tries valiantly to fight off the warm flush that’s working its way across her cheeks, “come with me to Colwen Grounds.”

    Or:

    Elphaba invites Galinda to spend Lurlinemas with her.

    Summary

    Dear Friend of the East,
    I must admit, I’ve grown quite fond of reading your column. Knowing it’s you behind those words makes it even more captivating. I always thought giving advice to strangers was an impossible task. But somehow, you’ve turned it into something truly meaningful.
    I can see why people trust you with their vulnerabilities.
    And on these notes, I’ll drop you mine: it turns out that I maybe like girls.

     

    or: Elphaba is charged by the Wizard to write a column for The Weekly of Oz as a way to work on herself. Galinda reads it. Things happen. Enemies to letters to lovers.

    Miles apart, Elphaba and Glinda march headfirst into their new lives, even as a strange new resonance is growing between them.

    Summary

    “Elphie, for once,” Glinda breathes, exasperated because she loves Elphaba’s unfailing moral compass but she also wants to smash it to pieces with a hammer sometimes. “For once in your entire life, can’t you just do the wrong thing?”

    Glinda wrestles with what goodness actually means while trying to navigate a world on the brink of collapse and falling in love with Oz's most wanted criminal.

    Summary

    Morrible unfurls Glinda’s mind like a scroll, examining the contents of her memory the way she examined the displayed organs of the first fetal pig she ever dissected. It’s less cohesive than the innards of a pig. That’s the problem with memory bound by emotion. Love is diffuse. It so easily becomes entangled in every aspect of the human experience, regardless of whether the target was physically present or not. Extracting it with any amount of elegance can get…dicey.

    Summary

    Despite it all—all meaning familial trauma and neglect, casual social ostracization, and the general crushing weight of existence—Elphaba liked to think of herself as an optimist.

    If she wasn’t, after all, she certainly wouldn’t be doing this.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    When she finally stripped the shirt off, leaving herself in just her tank top, Glinda’s lips parted. “Oz, Elphaba,” she murmured, “warn a girl next time, won’t you?”

    “What?” Elphaba asked, looking down at herself nervously.

    Glinda sighed. “You are absolutely impossible.” Then she was grasping Elphaba by the forearms, ignoring the proffered shirt, and steering her three steps backward into the wall of the nearest building

    “How absotively awful. Did she curse you?”

    “No,” Galinda and Elphaba responded in unison. They balked instinctively at each other with mirrored frowns.

    Pfannee gasped. “No way! Does the curse make you share minds too?”

    “You are not setting me up with a girl.”

    “I’m not setting you up.” Fiyero pats her back comfortingly. The motion has the opposite effect, sending a chill down her spine instead. “I’m simply going to make an introduction.”

    Summary

    Elphaba doesn’t believe in ghosts.

    She wants that on record, preferably carved into stone, or at the very least immortalized in a well-reasoned essay, except no one’s ever going to read it because she’s not writing one.

    Because ghosts aren’t real.

    That said.

    That said.

    She is currently pacing her apartment, burning sage, because she has, in a moment of weakness, googled “signs your apartment is haunted” and, upon reviewing the evidence, has decided that -- purely for the sake of argument -- she should cover all her bases. Just in case.

    Summary

    "All of Oz thinks I’m dead.”
    “Not all of Oz,” Glinda said. Something like shame flickered across Elphaba’s green face. “Water, Elphaba, really?”
    “You know the rumors. Apparently I’m so wicked water can melt me.”
    “Well, I can agree that you’re wicked, but the rest of the sentiment is ridiculous.”

    Ten years after the melting, Glinda gets a visitor whom she is less than pleased (and unsurprised) to see.
