Summary
“I can’t stop thinking about you,” Glinda says so, so quietly. So quietly that Elphaba can barely hear the confession over the press of the rain on the roof. It’s an out, Elphaba realizes. She can pretend she never heard her admission, they can ride out the storm and then go back to being people who flirt harmlessly with each other. Glinda’s giving her the option to ignore it all.
Or she can do the messy thing, the tricky thing, and acknowledge it.
_________Sir Chuffrey's wife hires Elphaba to be their landscaper so she can flirt with her. It gets out of hand.

Summary
Galinda and Elphaba met in 7th grade, and after a few weeks of bickering, they became attached at the hip. When they spend every waking second together, Elphaba develops her first crush on her best friend. Senior year, Elphaba confesses her feelings for Galinda. But when her confession results in an abrupt end to their friendship and leaves vague rejection in her wake, Elphaba has no choice but to let her go. Four years later, their paths cross again and Galinda still isn’t ready to admit how she felt. But luckily… her Elphie is patient.
—
Elphaba is going down the line, shaking each hand and trying her best to commit every name and face to memory. Until she gets to Galinda.
They lock eyes, Elphaba tries her best to read Galinda's expression before they explain to everyone that they already know each other. But before she can say anything, Galinda sticks out her hand and introduces herself as if Elphaba hasn’t committed the curve of each letter and the sound of each syllable to memory.
She smiles, a fake friendly smile, one you’d display for someone you’ve never met before. “Glinda.”
Well, technically, that is a new name.

Summary
At Shiz University, Professor Elphaba Thropp does not do favorites. She does not do exceptions. And she does not get distracted.
Galinda Upland is an exception she never agreed to noticing.
Bright, popular, and infuriatingly composed, Galinda shouldn’t stand out in Elphaba’s lecture hall the way she does. But she does. Every question, every answer, every quiet moment where Elphaba catches herself looking a second too long.
It starts with academic interest.
It does not stay that way.

Summary
Galinda can't stand anything about her roommate Elphaba. Not her hottity-toity attitude, not her snide remarks, or her remarkable powers. She's loathed the green witch since the day they met and were made to share a room.
But as of recent a few simple words said offhandedly have sent Galinda on a spiral. A spiral that's making Galinda see Elphaba in a whole new light. It's strange how easily hating someone can turn into something else: something far worse.
