    Summary

    Galinda is quiet. "I'm going to become your new best friend," she says finally.

    This startles Elphaba so much that she looks up from her book. There's no twitch in Galinda's lips; she's gazing at Elphaba with uncomfortable sincerity. Elphaba glares back.

    “You'll see,” Galinda promises, her ineffable cheer returning. "I'm irresistible."

     

    Elphaba realizes the black hat is a prank before Galinda has the chance to make it up to her at the Ozdust, producing the most one-sided best friendship in Shiz history.

    Summary

    In this version of the multiverse, on Earth-1181, Maxwell Lord didn’t give up his experiments after Bizzaro, nor his obsession with his enemies. He did something about it. Now, our heroes will have to, too.

    Or

    Alex Danvers and Lena Luthor are cloned by Maxwell Lord. Now our heroic cast has to figure out how to simultaneously raise (and possibly defeat) the mini-supervillains, whilst falling head over heels in love with the children who were created to destroy them.

    Kid fic with a sci-fi twist, time travel, and supervillain plotting. Angst with a happy ending.

    Summary

    Had Elphaba's eyes always held those flecks of gold - like stolen sunshine trapped in emeralds? Had her hair always spilled like midnight silk, woven by angels under the moonlight? Had her lips always curved with that delicious disdain? Sweet Oz, was she always this... perfect?

    Summary

    It’s incredible. It’s beautiful. It’s ridiculous and amazing and it’s proof.
    Elphaba slams her head back down, but this time there’s some other emotion bringing tears to her eyes.

    I’m not alone.

    Summary

    Elphaba's eyes narrow. That feeling's back again, too, thrumming in the palms of her hands. There's a biting retort on her lips. But then she spots something else on Galinda's arm, just below her jewelry: pink rose petals and delicate leaves shaded faintly in green.

    "You—what is that?"

    "What's what?" Galinda looks down, then tilts her head up as she looks at Elphaba through long eyelashes. Slowly, like she's talking to a child, she says, "It's a tattoo."

    --

    OR: It's Wicked, Part 1, and everything is exactly the same—except that Galinda Upland has tattoos.

    Summary

    In careful, deliberate ways, Elphaba has found she and Galinda are not so different. In careful, deliberate ways, they have also learned from each other— what it means to be certain that you never need to be anyone but exactly who you are; what it means to know that there is someone who would never ask you to change. What it means when one day, you look in the mirror, and you see that you have anyway, because change is so very easy when someone loves you that much.

    Which is to say, that in some fashion, Galinda, who has never been careful or deliberate, has barged her way into Elphaba’s quiet life and for once banished her own impulses in favor of new ones, in favor of the slow, connective kindness that can only be unearthed by the gentlest pair of hands.

    (Or, the five times that Galinda asks Elphaba to tell her a secret, and the one time Elphaba asks her.)

    Summary

    “I just wanted to say I had absolutely nothing to do with the changes. I mean honestly, when they asked for recommendations I asked if I could be alone,” Galinda starts, gesticulating as she talks, launching into something that can only generously be described as a ramble.

    More bewildered than anything, Elphaba can’t do anything but watch as words tumble forth from Galinda’s mouth, as she goes on and on, probably further attempting to absolve herself of any blame.

    Suddenly, Elphaba remembers that she hasn’t actually seen who her roommate is…

    And she’s got a sneaking suspicion that her assignment is standing right in front of her.

    (Or: stage management should be easy for Elphaba, but the actors seem to go out of their way to make it difficult— namely Galinda Upland, her new roommate, hellbent on disrupting every inch of Elphaba’s carefully-laid routine.)

    (Or or: sometimes you need enrichment time (extroverts adopting you) in your enclosure (stagemanaging a national tour))

    Sometimes, Elphaba cursed whoever had invented mirrors. Really, who was the jerk who had decided that society would benefit from everyone knowing exactly what they looked like? Probably someone beautiful, like Galinda Upland.

    Summary

    “You don’t think…” Shenshen whispered as she watched the scene unfold. “In front of all these people?” Pfannee blinked, pinching himself to make sure he wasn’t dreaming as he watched and listened to his friend's advances.

    “Elphaba Thropp,” Galinda addressed loudly, her voice cutting through the murmurs of the crowd. “You better let me back into your life this instant!”

    —or, In an alternate Oz, where Animal rights aren’t being threatened, more mundane challenges reveal themselves… Such as Galinda Upland going slightly insane after her first lesbian breakup (much to Shenshen and Pfannee’s horror).

    Summary

    Galinda Upland has never been anything other than her mothers’ pride and joy.

    Which is why when Elphaba tells her, quiet and reserved in their room that same night they get home from the Ozdust, “My father hates me,” Galinda feels nothing but shock and horror.

    Or: Galinda loves her moms, and she absolutely hates Elphaba’s dad.

    "You’re trembling," Glinda says.
    And- despite the tears in both their eyes, Elphaba can’t help her tiny chuckle. It’s ironic, after all. That’s usually her line.

    Summary

    “You know she’ll never feel the same way about you,” Mon-El says, pulling his eyes away from Kara.

    He’s trying to hurt her. Lena could laugh. As if he could. She’s a Luthor for crying out loud.

    “Never. You have to know that?” he implores.

    She smiles. “I’m the smartest person in every room I enter. I have three PhDs and I run a billion dollar company. I’m not a figurehead either, I manage the day-to-day operations. It sucks.”

    He opens his mouth to interrupt, to tell her that none of those things make her worthy of Kara’s love. To point out everything she’s left out. Her namesake. Her past. But she simply raises her hand.

    “Of course, I know, Mon-El. I’m not in the habit of ignorance. Why would I start now?”

    OR

    Kara and Mon-El are a couple. Lena tries to get over it. But her stupid dumb heart can’t stop beating for the blonde Kryptonian. And if she can’t have her, well she’ll be damned if she doesn’t at least help the asshole who can.

    OR

    Lena decides to ‘My Fair Lady’ Mon-El. She’s running a course for one student: Care and Feeding of your friendly neighbourhood Kryptonian.

    Summary

    “I’m not sure I’m the one to help you with this… Lena.”

    “I can pay you for your time, Ms. Danvers-”

    “You can call me Kara,” Kara said awkwardly. “But it’s not about the money. I… I have my own research, I don’t know that I can take the time for this.” Especially when the Medallion of Acrata is just a myth, she thought.

    Lena sighed, her heart beating faster, as her eyes darted between Kara’s. Kara stilled for a moment, realizing that Lena was… wrestling with something. Deciding something. The brunette nibbled briefly at her lip, before nodding to herself, decision made. “My brother is trying to find this artifact. It has properties he wants. And I need to stop him.”

    “Why does your brother want the artifact?” Kara asked.

    “He plans to kill Superman.”
