Summary
In another world, another time, the Valyrian steel would cut through flesh and sinew and fat. A cut, clean as could be. A blade so sharp, it needed a scar to match. Rhaenyra’s arm forever marred by that memory. Their shared pain made manifest.
But in this world, the knife misses its mark. Fate’s threads get tangled. Or perhaps they are merely woven into a new pattern. Blood is still spilled, but this time it is not Dragon’s blood. This blood flows like the water of the Honeywine river. And water can wash away the tragedy, it can wipe the slate clean. And thus a future calamity is avoided.
Or:
What if Rhaenyra had been a bit stronger and Alicent a bit more careless? The Knife Scene™ in 1x07, but this time Alicent gets hurt and it changes everything.- Language:

Summary
Both of them have been hesitant to say it, because saying it makes things real. And real things can be so easily taken away, just like so many other things in their lives.
Red Valentine.

Summary
“Elphaba stayed in her room for a day. Galinda came and went with a dinner. On occasion she would stay for a few minutes.”
- Wicked, Gregory Maguire, pg. 123--
For the first time, Galinda sat down in the room, on the armchair across from Elphaba’s desk. She perched on the very edge of it with her legs primly crossed at the ankles, as if she was preparing to run. Galinda’s sunburn bloomed a soft pink on the high arc of her cheekbones, the bridge of her nose… which was dotted with freckles, as Elphaba would have noticed if she’d cared to look more closely. Galinda’s summer dress hung loosely over her legs.
With great effort, Elphaba averted her gaze.--
Or, as we know, a lot can happen in a few minutes.

Summary
five years post-melting elphaba comes back for glinda. the only problem? glinda is sure she's dead, has built her world around it. the only explanation is that there's a ghost in her house.
or, a post canon reconnection fic disguised as overblown comedy, a visit to a medium, and lots of ghost-themed insults
