    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

    “Oh. Oz,” Galinda breathes, taking a step forward. “You’re me. Future me.” Grass crunches under her feet. “Do you have any advice for the you of eleven years ago?”

    “I will give you only one piece of advice. Any more, and I’m afraid of what might happen,” Glinda tells her, and Galinda sits up straighter, rapt. Glinda’s face hardens, steels. She scowls into the darkness of the woods around them.

    “Stay away from Elphaba Thropp.”

    Or: On the night of her nineteenth birthday, Galinda bungles a spell and winds up in touch with an older version of herself. Glinda the Good leaves her with a single piece of advice. Galinda has some trouble taking it.

    Summary

    In exile as a political prisoner at a remote estate, Glinda's only companion is a woman named Elphaba, a quiet, exacting servant with a sharp tongue and her defenses high. But what begins as a reluctant cohabitation blossoms, slowly, into something quietly consuming and difficult to name. As time passes, the two women navigate the aching gravity of intimacy—and allow themselves, for the first time, to be seen.

    Summary

    Sudden bursts of magic are occurring in Shiz and Elphaba can only assume that she needs more discipline to better control her abilities. She doesn't dare to think that these incidents are at the fault of a certain pink roommate.

    Tl;dr: Elphaba's magic is spawned by her anger. Galinda's is spawned by her jealousy.

    Summary

    “Such a harsh judge,” Fiyero said with a teasing smirk. “I think Miss Elphaba has forgotten how to be objective.”

    Crope laughed and Elphaba’s frown deepened. How unfair. She pointed a long finger at him, nail looking sharper than usual, and said heatedly, “Just because I’m in love with Galinda, it doesn’t mean I can’t be objective. The boundaries were sworn upon. Crope was the last one to touch the shuttle. That makes its Galinda’s point.”

    Silence greeted her words, more than she expected, even if they did see sense in her judgment after all. Which, to be honest, she didn’t expect them to. Narrowing her eyes in suspicion, she looked at each of them in turn and was bewildered to see them all in some sort of state of shock.

    For his Ozness’s sake, what was it now?
