    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.

    Summary

    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.

    Summary

    Dearest darlingest Elphie,

    It’s taken me the longest time to even write your name because it hurts too much! But I miss talking to you and telling you things and I thought, well, that I’d write to you even though you’ll never get these letters. It’s a bit silly maybe, but I lost my dearest darlingest bestest friend and life has hardly been the same for me anymore. So I thought this might make my heart a bit lighter.

    Chistery has been looking after me. And oh, Elphie, he’s speaking full sentences already! I wish you were here to see it. Or well, hear it! He takes some time to get the words out but I still count it as a win. I feel he might be worried I might jump off my balcony or something whenever I look to the western sky and think about you! But can you blame me? Those moments are when I give myself permission to cry and really remember you in peace. ♡

    There are too many tears in my eyes right now so I shall stop.

    Sincerely,

    Glinda ♡

    Summary

    “You say you want forgiveness…” Glinda’s voice drops, precise and low, cutting cleanly through her thoughts. “Is that all you really want from me?”
    Elphaba swallows thickly, “I—I just…I didn’t mean to hurt you, I—”
    “That’s not what I asked,” Glinda murmurs, quiet but unyielding, her thumb softly but deliberately stroking the skin beneath her cheekbone. “What is it you really want?”

    After 'As Long As You’re Mine', instead of a vision of Nessa, Elphaba has a devastating vision of Glinda’s breakdown mid-heartbreak and is compelled to go make things right. Canon fix-It of sorts.

    Summary

    "They’re green. I mean, you can’t always tell, but everyone will know who their mother is.”
    “Exactly," Glinda agreed. "Nobody would dare lay a hand on Glinda Upland’s babies.”
    “Be serious.”
    “I am being serious. Terribly so.”

    Glinda and Elphaba have been able to live in relative isolation since Glinda’s retirement. When their oldest starts preschool and Elphaba (maybe) goes back to work, they test just how successful Glinda was in changing Oz’s mind about the Wicked Witch of the West.

    Summary

    Morrible unfurls Glinda’s mind like a scroll, examining the contents of her memory the way she examined the displayed organs of the first fetal pig she ever dissected. It’s less cohesive than the innards of a pig. That’s the problem with memory bound by emotion. Love is diffuse. It so easily becomes entangled in every aspect of the human experience, regardless of whether the target was physically present or not. Extracting it with any amount of elegance can get…dicey.

    “For an alpha,” Galinda murmured, “you get wetter than me.”

    Elphaba sucked in a breath. Galinda laughed softly at her own joke.

    “You’re practically dripping,” she added, almost surprised, leaning forward to inspect the precum.

    Summary

    "You're safe with me, Elphie. Everything you're feeling is okay. It's alright."
    OR
    After they become friends, Elphaba and Galinda realize that what they feel for each other goes deeper than friendship. Elphaba is afraid to enter into a relationship due to inexperience and discomfort with the idea of being taken care of by another person, and Galinda is happy to slowly and patiently guide her into a world where she can receive love and be appreciated in a way she never has been before. Very, very gay.

    Summary

    “Galinda, are you feeling well?” Elphaba asks tentatively, noting a bit of pallor to her lovely roommate’s cheeks. It’s not entirely uncommon, during Galinda’s periods of torpor, that she gets a little waxy-pale, but if she’s feeling under the weather, then wouldn't it be best to make her tea or something?

    Golden hair tickling Elphaba's neck, Galinda’s head lolls to the side, looking up at Elphaba through her lashes. “I’m wonderful, darling–oh, don’t look at me like that, you’ll give me a heart murmur with such lovely eyes.” She sighs airily. "Truly, Elphie, I’m fine. Just…a bit peckish, is all."

    __________

    Elphaba adores her roommate. When she finds out Galinda is a newly turned vampire, and a hungry one at that, she offers to let Galinda feed on her. She just isn't quite expecting to react as strongly as she does.

    Dearest darlingest momsie and momsicle,

    I hope this letter finds you well and not too deep into one of your creative frenzies. I’m writing because I need advice, and you’re the only ones who will truly understand what I’m facing.

    Elphaba won’t be coming to Frottica for the holidays.


    Or, Elphaba just wants a peaceful holiday with the people who love her, but her father has other plans. Thankfully, the people who love her are very resourceful.
