Summary
After a lifetime of neglect and ostracization, Elphaba is not what you would call 'good at being close to people.' When Galinda notices her new best friend flinches from every touch, she proposes an experiment: exposure therapy, a way to start small and escalate as Elphaba's comfort with herself and others grows. But what starts as an exercise in psychology might just prove to be the basis of something more.

Summary
In exile as a political prisoner at a remote estate, Glinda finds her only companion to be Elphaba, a quiet, exacting servant with a sharp tongue and her defenses high. But what begins as a reluctant cohabitation blossoms, slowly, into something quietly consuming and difficult to name. As time passes, the two women navigate the aching gravity of intimacy—and allow themselves, for the first time, to be seen.

Summary
Alicia, an unlikely political prisoner, is taken captive and forced into isolation. Her only company is Kalinda, her attendant, who is trapped just as surely in the Keep. Social class, propriety, and their own baggage keeps them apart. But as seasons pass, the tenuous bond between the two women strengthens into something resembling devotion far more than necessity. It's only a matter of time before they find themselves together.

Summary
Their rituals were all in place, balance and flow regained more easily than Alicia had suspected was possible. At what they knew to be the end of the night, Kalinda would order a second drink and then abandon it halfway. Alicia would end up finishing it, and if the print of their lipsticks melded and overlapped on the rim of the glass, no one would say.

Summary
There’s salt on Glinda’s cheeks and iron on her lips and her two new appendages feel like chains weighing her down. The sun falls. Her body trembles with cold and fatigue.
Glinda may be the one with wings, but at the end of the day--their one short day--it is Elphaba who gets to fly away.
(aka: winged glinda!!)

Summary
She is slightly uncomfortable here: she can’t remember the last time she has been in a bar like this, but Kalinda’s confidence is infectious and she is curious.
A rehash of some of the Kalinda/ Alicia bar scenes in an attempt at reaching some kind of closure.
