    Summary

    She didn’t even really ask a question when she told Elphaba what she’d done, when she told her about the house, the biggest purchase of her life: a safe place; a place where, if she’s horrendibly honest, she imagines that maybe they could grow old. Galinda never saw the appeal of it before, of the ache in her bones or the aging lines on her face.

    But looking in the mirror lately, they’re there— and she doesn’t hate it. She doesn’t hate knowing she’s changed. That they both have.

    (Or, a post-canon fix-it. Elphaba comes back to her. Galinda buys them a house. The eroticism of a gentle life.)
