    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

    After many years, Lady Glinda hears of the whereabouts of the “Wicked Witch of the West” and shows up unexpectedly at Kiamo Ko. She decides to stay awhile (for Liir of course, and because winter is hindering her travel plans of course, and not because she is incredibly in love with and desperate for a grumpy book-verse Elphaba).

    Summary

    There were places in the forest where lovers went. Maybe that’s where they had gone, without her, after Dr. Dillamond had been taken away. Maybe they were together now. It was too horrible to think about, and yet she couldn’t stop herself. Couldn’t stop the images arriving in vivid, almost feverish detail: Elphaba in the grass, eyes heavy lidded, lips parted, and her thighs parted, too, just enough to hint at the sweetness between them. The unexpected vulnerability of it, that ultimate softness in her usual rigid composure, made Galinda shiver just to think of it.

    OR what if you were so in love with your best friend that you got yourself off on imagining her homewrecking your relationship with your comphet boyfriend who can't get you wet

    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

    Glinda Upland left life as a proper lady in Frottica for late nights and hot mornings in the cozmopolitan city of light. Now, she passes her days sitting too still as a model for the radical, reticent painter, Elphaba Thropp, dreaming of the Follies.

    Or: 19th century painter/model AU aka historical lesbians aka Sunday in the Park with Gelphie, featuring a lot of bickering, failed connections, and absinthe-drinking at the cabaret.
