Summary
“Galinda?” The word cracked, uncharacteristically raw.
Her wife blinked up at her in confusion, eyes glassy and unfocused, lips parting like she was about to apologise for the mess – she was always apologising, that silly girl, even for gravity failing her.
“I… I just need… a second…” she breathed, but her voice sounded small, faraway, like a broadcast cutting to static. She felt dizzy, like she was drowning in sparkling water filling her head.
She caught Glinda by the waist just as her knees gave out. Elphaba’s grip tightened, one arm wrapping fully around her back, the other bracing the back of Glinda’s head as she lowered her gently toward her chest, shielding her from view.
“No. No more seconds.” Elphaba’s words were quiet but steel-edged, and the tremor in them betrayed a depth of fear she had been swallowing for weeks. “We’re leaving.”
--
(Or: Glinda collapses from overworking herself whilst at a fancy gala. Elphaba, ever the gentleman, swoops in to save her wife from herself. Comes with heaping doses of the softest hurt/comfort.)

Summary
“Finish it, my sweet” Elphaba murmured, nudging the sandwich a fraction closer to her wife's lips.
“I am, I am,” Glinda protested weakly, taking another bite. She looked up at Elphaba with those big brown doe eyes, fluttering her eyelashes just so. “See? Obedient.”
Elphaba’s neck flushed briefly. She would not let her concern be brushed off by dirty tactics, much less in front of the Palace's staff.
“Highly debatable,” Elphaba said dryly.
The guard, to his credit, became extremely interested in a perfectly ordinary patch of wall just over the secure door’s frame. Sound travelled more than you’d think in this part of the Palace, and thus he had long ago perfected the art of hearing everything and reacting to nothing. Ever. At all.
(Or: their sickeningly sweet love as seen through the eyes of everyone around them.)

Summary
Galinda’s cheeks warmed under the scrutiny, but she kept her smile in place. “I simply enjoy learning, Madame.”
Madame Morrible’s lips curved, not quite a smile. “Do you. How admirable. You have always had such… appetite. I did not know it spanned learning, too. Hungry for knowledge, are we?” The word struck with a strange force. Galinda felt it land somewhere beneath her ribs; a small, cold weight.
The old witch continued, tone conversational. “Yes… Appetites for admiration. Appetites for attention. Appetites for… indulgence, after all. It is a pity, really. Such a pretty girl. One would hope you might learn restraint, Miss Upland. Maybe it’d help your studies. A little less appetite and a little more restraint.
A hush fell, subtle but immediate. Galinda heard it the way one hears a glass set down too hard in a quiet room. Somewhere behind her, a student shifted in their seat. Elphaba’s head snapped around, eyes flashing.
------
(OR: the one where Morrible is the most despicable person in all of Oz, and purposely triggers a recovered Galinda's ED. Worry not, dear reader, this blonde girl is very, very loved and will be taken care of).
