Summary
“I didn’t keep most of the memories. Other people’s memories. I get flashes of big things, births, deaths. Except about you.”
Carol feels the confusion slip onto her face. Nervousness creeps up her spine again. “Me?”
“I know everything that anybody has ever thought about you, Carol. Every memory. Every feeling. Helen. Your ex-girlfriends. Your dentist. It’s like I have a Carol encyclopedia in my head.”
Carol had thought that she was done experiencing fresh horrors. What a nightmare it is to realize that she is not. “Oh, god.” She says.
“Oh, god,” Zosia agrees.
After they manage to break Zosia free of the hive, Zosia and Carol try to navigate the field of landmines that is their relationship.

Summary
“Would you like to live in a romance book?” Galinda asks.
That finally makes Elphaba lift her gaze from her notes. She looks at Galinda like she’s said something incredibly weird. To Galinda’s defense, she hasn’t said anything that weird. It’s totally normal to ask a book enthusiast if they’d like to live in a book.
“Why?”
“For the… romance?”
“Haven’t thought about it,” Elphaba answers. “Might be interesting.”
“Interesting?”
“Sure.”
****
Or: The one where Galinda has been raised never to pursue a man, but be pursued by him. Everything changes when she realizes she’s interested in a woman. She tries to flirt with Elphaba subtly, but Elphaba is painfully oblivious.

Summary
In a time different from ours, in a land unlike our own, on the outskirts of Pertha Hills, a distant household stood isolated from the rest of the town. A curse had haunted the women of the Arduenna clan for generations, born of a broken heart that had never been properly dealt with.
When Galinda Arduenna steps out of her family’s estate to experience university life, she vows that love is not for her and she will appreciate every opportunity to navigate the human world—at least temporarily. Everything goes according except for a small detail: Elphaba Thropp. Bold, abrasive, and often unfiltered, Elphaba is a thorn in Galinda’s side. She makes it nearly impossible for Galinda to maintain the fragile line between her ordinary human self and the wolf she becomes during full moons.
This is a story about unexpected connections, the ties forged in loneliness, and the struggle to accept ourselves—even when it’s hardest.
OR
Galinda is a werewolf and Elphaba’s scent is driving her into insanity.

Summary
“Do you remember Madame Morrible and her awful Prop and Ganda department? Well, I figured that I could put them to actual good use. And so I did a little image rehabilification.”
“A little?”
Glinda twirls a strand of blonde hair around her finger, not meeting her eyes. “Tiny. Microscopical. Infinitesimal. Just a whisper of a coordinated multiyear plan involving publicists, historians, theater troupes, and a very spirited group of fans.”
Elphaba blinks.
Glinda smiles sweetly.
“Elphaba,” she says gently, “darling—to come back from a smear campaign, you simply must have good press.”

Or, Elphaba spends ten years being dead. Oz spends ten years falling in love with her. She did not request a redemption arc, let alone one so exuberant.- Language:

Summary
Frustrated by the pressure from both work and university combined, Galinda signs up for a pole dance class on a whim to finally do something for herself. It goes as good as could be expected, which is not at all, but she decides to soldier on anyway. Then one evening, her roommate joins her there. Turns out Elphaba is much better at this than Galinda ever hoped to be, and that doesn't help the crush Galinda has had on her for years.
Or, a story about pining and yearning and wilful ignorance born out of fear to ask for more, and how sometimes a bird in the hand is no better than two in the bush. How taking a risk could feel like both falling down and falling apart, and how it suddenly isn't that terrifying when someone is there to catch you.

Summary
Breathing in deeply so the smell of old parchment fills her nose, Glinda tries to put the memory aside. Her hands shake, crumpling the edges of the letter where she’s clutching it. She closes her eyes.
Suddenly, she’s eighteen again, writing home asking if it’s alright for Elphie to come home for half-term; nineteen, celebrating her birthday with a cake, a field of poppies at sunset, and her four dearest friends, whispering in Elphaba’s ear about some secret that she can hardly remember now. She wracks her brain too long for what it could have been, and then she’s almost twenty-five—though birthdays hardly seem to matter anymore—and she has her hand pressed over her mouth because she knows Elphie is right, she can’t be found here, and she hasn’t heard a sound from Elphaba since she closed the door between them. But Elphaba said everything would be fine, and she believes her, has to, because she can’t imagine what will happen if, if—
The sound of Elphaba’s agony rings in Glinda’s ears.
(Or, Glinda's time between the end of canon to when she buys the house for her and Elphie. A farmhouse-verse prequel told in moments throughout the four years in the middle.)

Summary
"Elphaba will want you two to get married eventually, you know,” he says.
Galinda shrugs. “And if she doesn’t, that’s okay.”
Fiyero smiles. “That’s why she’s going to want to.” It suddenly occurs to him that he and Galinda were never this honest with each other as kids. Because that’s what they were— kids. It feels a bit like being naked, being with someone who has known you so well for so long.
It’s lovely, truthfully, how you never really stop growing up.

Summary
A letter from Nona to Harrow, sharing some important questions and information that she'll need before she returns to her body.
The first thing you should know is that I’m not writing this letter myself. I’m telling it to Palamedes and he’s writing it down. He says that’s called dictating. The first time he said that word, Pyrrha overheard and said, ‘Dick Tate? I hardly know him!’ and then Palamedes said ‘stop interrupting, and we don’t know anyone named Tate.’ Palamedes says I’m getting off topic again. Anyway, Palamedes is writing for me because I can’t. I don’t understand why that’s so important, but Palamedes says not disclosing that information is a serious breach of academic integrity. I don’t know what that means, but apparently you will, and you’ll think it’s important.

Summary
Liking girls has always been easy for Zoey. It’s harder not to like them, really—every girl has something charming about her in her own way, something to fall in love with. It’s easy to admire, to adore, and to care so so much without it needing to get hot under the collar or get her feelings hurt about it.
It’s only in those rare, rare occasions where there’s the possibility that a girl she likes is capable of liking her back—even the barest possibility that she could also be attracted to Zoey—that she’s in a catastrophic amount of trouble.
