    Summary

    She had been ready to burn it all down.

    That is the thing Elphaba keeps coming back to, afterward, in the narrow hours when she can't sleep and the Emerald City hums green outside her window. She had been ready. Her whole body had been oriented toward it, toward the fire and the fight and Fiyero's hand and the sky opening up ahead of her like a door.

    And then Glinda had looked at her.

    And she had come down.

    Or: what if the Wizard and Glinda did convince Elphaba to stay. And what if Elphaba starts to see exactly what Glinda has been surviving, deliberately, so that Elphaba could come home safe.

    Summary

    It was at that moment that Glinda truly understood how the Wizard had remained in power for so long. It didn’t matter that he didn’t have any true magic of his own. It didn’t matter that he couldn’t read the Grimmerie. The people had given him power, and that was enough for him to do as he wanted.

    Summary

    Elphaba isn’t interested in the Emerald City’s glittering social season or the machinations of its marriage market. She’s come to the City to support her younger sister's ascension to the throne and help her find true love. Luckily, Nessa falls in love at the first ball of the season. Unluckily, her new love interest’s older sister is insufferable.

    Galinda, still reeling from a family tragedy, is just trying to shepherd her sisters through their first social season, marry her best friend, and restore her family’s finances. She’s not expecting the Queen of Oz to start courting her younger sister, or to have to spend so much time with Nessa’s prickly older sister, Princess Elphaba. At first, Galinda is happy to pretend that she's exactly the kind of brainless socialite that Elphaba thinks she is. But as first impressions fizzle out and she realizes the two of them are more alike than she could ever have suspected, Elphaba threatens to send Galinda’s carefully constructed facade spiraling and forces her to consider another path: one where they put their own happiness first, whatever the consequences.

    Or: a Regency AU very (very) loosely inspired by Bridgerton

    Summary

    "Her sister. Use her sister." 

    The words poured from Glinda like a cold, cloying sin—an unfamiliar, decadent bitterness. Wrong, but earned.

    "Spread a rumor. That her sister's in trouble." The wet tremble of her voice hardened with conviction, born from the fresh, open wounds of intimate betrayal. "She'll fly to her side, and you'll have her."

    The damning suggestion came with such terrible ease—a spoken poison smooth as spun silk, yet jagged as glass shards that shimmered in sunlight.

    An irreversible revenge to counter a betrayal of the same. The kind that feels necessary and just. Enticing and sharp. Raw and remorseless.

    The kind that simply feels good.

    ......

    Heartbreak doesn’t just wound the heart. It forcibly remakes the soul.

    And it’s agonizing to be remade.

    Dear Dr. Upland,
    please refrain from filling out your requisition forms with a pink glitter pen. It makes them extremely difficult to read.

    Summary

    And like absolute clockwork, here it is to spoil her date night. The first date night they’ve managed to avoid rescheduling on all month. Galinda will not stand for it. She is absolutely not taking a raincheck again. This is her life, Ozdamnit, and she is going to have a normal school day and a normal date night and it is going to be fine.

    It absolutely is not fine. Her cramps set in halfway through the walk to breakfast, hitting her with such an intensity that she stumbles and has to stop to lean against the wall until the initial wave settles. Considering she had conveniently forgotten to mention the events of her morning to her girlfriend, it earns her a thorough fussing-over from Elphaba.

    Summary

    “Honestly, Glinda," Larena sighed, clicking her tongue. "I don’t understand this... mood. You are the Good. You are the face of Oz. You have the palace, the adoration of every Ozian from here to the Quadling Country. What more could a girl possibly want?"

    or....

    based slightly on a tweet i saw a few weeks ago about how Larena raised Glinda to thrive off validation and wouldn't be able to grasp why Glinda isn't happy as the throne minister of Oz.

    There was no body. There was nothing to hold one last time, nothing to scream and cry and beg to come back, no hand to lace her fingers through and pray with to some silly god, no eyelids to kiss farewell. They’d said their goodbyes, but that wasn’t—that wasn’t supposed to be this kind of goodbye.

    Summary

    When Glinda Upland inadvertantly brings a beautiful snowwoman to life with a magical shawl, her own frozen-over heart begins to thaw.

    or; the Elphie the Snowwoman au.
    or; the Olafaba au
    or; When Glinda gets a back injury, the newly-alive Elphaba nurses her back to health. Glinda repays her by doing everything in her power to stop her from melting.

    -

    Elphaba wraps the scarf around Glinda's neck, looping it around at her throat and tucking it in. She’s close. Glinda can see each glinting freckle on her face. Their eyes meet, and Elphaba smiles.

    “This is like how we met,” she says, indicating to her shawl.

    Glinda feels a little breathless; she forces an easy smile. “You’re just returning the favour.”

    “Except I’m not bringing you to life,” Elphaba points out.

    But you are, in a way, Glinda thinks.
