    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

    In Search Of: Wedding Date (Hot, Preferably)

    "My sister is getting married in the fall and my father is lowkey evil. Looking for a woman (ideally a very hot one) to pretend to be my date.

    About me: late 20s/early 30s woman. Tall, brooding, a little mean. A scientist of some kind. Looks fairly fetching in a suit.

    About you: mid 20s - mid 30s woman. Willing to put up with me for 48 hours. A hardy spirit of adventure.

    What’s in it for you? A weekend away in beautiful Munchkinland, an excuse to dress up, free drinks. I can’t pay in any useful currency, but I will owe you a favor that you can call upon at any other time."

    Summary

    She traces a finger over Elphaba’s name on the cover. There’s a spark of joy, gladness, pride, just plain, unbounded love. The epigraph is from a poem that Elphaba had read aloud to Glinda when they were twenty years old: “Anyway, whatever it is, don’t be afraid of its plenty.”

    The dedication page reads only: For Galinda

    Summary

    “Galinda,” Elphaba starts, but the blonde cuts her off sharply.

    “It’s Glinda now.”

    “I apologize. Glinda.” The name sounds foreign in Elphaba’s mouth. She clears her throat, “Thanks for meeting with me,” she begins again and suddenly it all makes sense.

    So Glinda does what she has always done: straightens her spine, looks at Elphaba, and lies.

    _________

    Elphaba is a novelist, Glinda is her editor. But there are years of hurt and tension that might make this project impossible.

    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.

    Summary

    Life is perfectly pleasant (if a little dull) for Elphaba and Fiyero seven years after she faked her own death, ran away from her home and left her best friend to rule Oz alone. Nothing ever really changes in the desert outside Oz until, one day, there's a knock at their door announcing the arrival of a young boy who looks identical to Galinda Upland.

    Well.

    Not quite.

    He was in every way an exact copy of Galinda.

    Except.

    Except, he’s green.

    Summary

    She didn't have the energy to argue or simply tell him he was right, though the smile that might have earned her was tempting. She simply tucked her legs up on the couch, boots already removed and snuggled in closer to him.

    Morgans head rested perfectly on the middle of his chest and the arm that had been on the couch came to rest over her hips. She brought a hand up and fisted a small portion of shirt, holding him to her. She sighed deeply, content as the familiar scent of him wrapped lovingly around her.

    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

    "See?" Elphaba said after a beat, only needing to whisper because she was right beside Galinda's ear now. The grip of her hands around Galinda loosened, but she didn't drop them. "You won't be doomed after all. You'll be able to steer yourself home."

    "I think I'd rather have you there with me," Galinda said, without really thinking about it. “Just in case."

    "How long has this been happening?" Elphaba asked.

    Tyrone still isn’t sure how to describe what she is and how much she means to him. 

    He wasn’t sure when they first met, a botched robbery and glowing hands leaving his mind imprinted with her. He wasn’t sure when she held his hand, fell asleep, and drooled on his shoulder on the bus ride out of New Orleans. And he isn’t now, not even a year later, when she kisses his temple right before they go and break up a trafficking operation or squeezes his hand before they climb on the next bus. But here is what he does know.

    Summary

    She had to see Glinda. There was no way magic could erase a love as deep as theirs. Glinda would remember that, as soon as they were in the same room together. Elphaba was sure of it. She wouldn’t allow herself to consider anything else.

     

    Or: Two years post DG, Glinda the Good disappeared. Now she’s back, claiming she was held prisoner by the Wicked Witch of the West. This is news to Elphaba.

    Upon reaching the Emerald City, Elphaba finds things are worse than she could have imagined-Glinda has almost no memory of the last two years and she’s afraid of Elphaba. After crashing Glinda’s wedding, Elphaba takes her deep into the Vinkus, where she must find a way to restore her memories or risk losing the love of her life yet again.

    Summary

    Today, everything in Glinda’s life was supposed to change for the better. Her older sister’s coronation was supposed to go off without a hitch. Instead, it’s snowing in the middle of summer and it’s up to Glinda to find her sister and convince her to break the spell, by traveling into the mysterious and possibly dangerous Northern Forest.

    Elphaba is a starving academic trying to support her younger sister and fundraise a research trip into the Northern Forest so she can collect the stories the residents tell about the Hidden Folk, a group of faeries known for abducting human children and leaving changelings in their places. Most people don’t believe they're real, but Elphaba knows better. She’s seen them. The last thing she needs is a princess showing up on her front step in the middle of the night, dressed in a party dress, insisting she needs Elphaba to help her find her sister because she can navigate the forest better than anyone else. But when Glinda promises to fund the research trip once her sister puts everything right, Elphaba realizes she can’t refuse.

    Their journey will challenge everything they thought they knew about their histories and their futures.

    Summary

    A brush of the arm, a touch of the hand.

    Galinda likes to be close to people, Elphaba has noticed.

    --

    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 help Elphaba grow more comfortable with herself and others, one touch at a time.

    But what started as an exercise in psychology might just prove to be the basis of something more.
