Summary
"Didn't know you were into that," Jade says, finally turning to face her unwanted companion. Tori has always had a gravitational pull of her own and Jade can feel herself getting sucked in, easily falling into their usual back and forth.
"Yeah? You know a lot about what I'm into?" She has the audacity to smirk, the asshole.
"Just seems your tastes have finally strayed from other people's boyfriends." Jade knows she's being annoying. It's been nine long years since that disastrous time in high school together. They'd all been stupid teenagers who didn't know what they wanted. Jade just loves beating a dead horse, especially at the other girl's expense. Tori is immediately exasperated, and she can hear her say "I didn't even like him like that!" over her own laughter. It dies out when she notices the too-soft look Tori is giving her. It has her immediately pushing away from the bar, exclaiming, "Come on, Vega. They'll never forgive me if I keep you to myself."
"I wouldn't mind that."
OR
Jade and Tori finally realise why they couldn't leave each other alone back in high school.

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.

After the escape goes horribly wrong, Elphaba lies dying in the desert. As her consciousness begins to slip, a pink bubble appears in her delirium, Elphaba strains to see whether it’s real… or just the last illusion of a dying witch.

Summary
“I went to breakfast and started answering people’s questions with words I didn’t plan.”
Elphaba scrunches her brow. “What words?”
“No, pleas–” Galinda looks like she might pass out, the hands over her mouth trying to push her jaw closed, but she evidently can’t stop talking. “I told everyone I wanted to kiss you even though I d–” Galinda stops and tries again. “I don’t w– Don’t want to–”
Elphaba’s knees are weak as she studies her roommate. Something has taken over Galinda, something magical, it must have. Galinda is gagging, trying to finish her sentence over and over again, but she fails, an expression between confusion, horror, and fury in her eyes.

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:
