    Summary

    It all starts with a spell going wrong.

    Now Elphaba and Fiyero are magically bound together, they can’t stop bickering, and they may have also accidentally become the talk of the campus.

    Between awkward sleeping arrangements, one-handed duels, and Glinda’s unauthorized stage adaptation--falling in love might just be the least humiliating part.

    Summary

    Everyday for the last 3 years was the same, it very rarely strayed from the routine. Her therapist had stated a routine, “provides structure and consistency in daily life, which can lead to reduced stress, improved focus, better decision-making, increased feelings of control, and overall enhanced mental and physical well-being” and blah-blah-blah. Elphaba zoned out after a while because it was always the same thing, over and over and over again.

    So here she was running as fast as she could down the same path she always took, in the same park she always ran in. Nothing new, nothing strayed from the routine, until…

    Galinda Upland

     

    And just like that, her routine was ruined.

    ---

    Elphaba, a renowned artist (singer) and queer icon, is still heartbroken over her past relationship with the famous artist/singer Galinda Upland. However, when she unexpectedly runs into Galinda—who is now with Fiyero, an actor and dancer—Elphaba is forced to confront her lingering feelings and move on. To help maintain her public image and ease the transition, her manager arranges a fake relationship with a woman, setting Elphaba on a journey of healing, self-discovery, and romance.

    Summary

    “Galinda dear,” her popsicle’s voice came through the door and Glinda’s eyes widened. She hadn't been called Galinda in a long time. It had been so long that she didn't even remember when she'd last been called it. It felt distant, like from another life entirely. “we’re leaving in two hours! Get ready!”

    Glinda looked back at the mirror with wide brown eyes, not trusting herself to speak. She remembered those exact words from her popsicle… on the morning of her first day of Shiz.

    Summary

    Boq straightens his servant’s tunic and braces for another day under Nessa Thropp’s watchful eye. She calls it love. He calls it captivity. In Munchkinland, affection isn’t earned—it’s legislated. And when your heart belongs to the Governor’s daughter, refusal isn't just dangerous, it’s illegal. As Nessa’s grip tightens on him and everyone else at Colwen Grounds, Boq begins to realize: the worst kind of prison is one built from someone else’s obsession. And his heart? It’s not breaking. It’s hardening.

    Summary

    Drawing in a breath, Nessa continues. “We are closing our borders to the wider Oz. No Munchkin will be allowed to leave Munchkinland without explicit permission from the Thropp Fourth Descending. Any Munchkin caught leaving the country without proof of official paperwork will face immediate detainment and, if found resisting, execution. Groups of three or more are no longer permitted to gather. Any Munchkins attempting to will face immediate detainment. These laws are effective in two days.”

    The crowd is silent.

    When Nessa's descent into madness becomes impossible for Boq to ignore, he confronts her about it.

    Summary

    It was the Wizard himself who had tasked them this. The great and terrible who had demanded they retrieve the broom stick of the Wicked Witch of the West.

    The Ozians had conjured it in their heads that they were going to kill the Witch. They had granted them good fortune on their hunt. The flames of conceptualisation fuelled by the Tin-Man, who only added to the fire with his ridiculous notions of killing the Witch himself. Oh, how she wished he hadn’t said that. Dorothy Gale was no killer, and she refused to stand idle as her friends slaughtered the green fiend, no matter how wicked she may be.

    Summary

    Footsteps moved across the room, before Glinda felt the bed dip. Teary eyes looked up, finding Elphaba perched on the edge of her bed, one hand raised towards her. She could see the uncertainty behind her eyes fading into determination as she rested her palm over a blanket-covered shoulder. “I- I obviously meant a lot to you, if your magic brought you all the way back here to save me. I can’t be anything but grateful to have met you.”

    ~

    When she suddenly finds herself thrown back in time by magic she didn’t know she had, Glinda is determined to save Elphaba from the cruel future she knows is right around the corner. However, the stakes are raised as feelings deepen, and she’d never considered that the future she was trying to fix was a thing of the past, and the one looming ahead might just break her even more.

    Summary

    "Are you lost?" she asks, snapping the book closed with a thud for emphasis. "I get that the door has text on it, you know—words. Do you need help sounding them out?"
    Fiyero just shrugs, sauntering closer. He pulls out a chair across from her and drops into it. "Reading’s tough," he says solemnly. "But I can manage two words if I really concentrate."
    "Mhm." She points a finger, without looking up, at the sign behind her. "Try those next."
    "Yep. Says Quiet Please." He leans forward, folding his arms on the table and dropping his chin onto them. "You’re the one making noise, though, by asking questions and frankly, bullying me."

    -------------------------------------------

    Five daylight quarrels between Elphaba and Fiyero in the library—and one night when the arguing stopped and the library was closed.
    This is a Shiz-Era fic, slightly deviates from canon post Lion cub scene, to give space for more university shenanigans.

    Galinda straddled her, pressing her hands against Elphaba’s chest. “Cowboy,” she teased, “you’ve got more than one steed in your possession, I see.”

    Summary

    All Elphaba wanted was to get paid more to grow her personal library, but she ends up finding the Grimmorie in a dusty attic and makes the bad decision to bring it home. It promptly makes itself at home, and she now has a pet spell book?

    Galinda wasn't expecting a human to arrive at her door being chased by the Emerald City guards, much less one that can unleash a dragons roar powerful enough to shake the mountains. Human or not, she was going to have hatchlings with this woman.

    or

    Elphaba gets in trouble with the Grimmorie and runs into Galinda a dragon living in the mountains who wifes her up. Domestic bliss ensues while Galinda is trying to convince her to give her hatchlings.

    Summary

    Her words were cut off as Elphaba grabbed her shoulders, slammed her against the glass terrace doors, and kissed her.

     

    // What if the girls kissed during What Is This Feeling? How would that affect their friendship? What would their time at Shiz be like? This is the same first chapter as my But What If They Kissed series but with chapter 2 posted! I decided to expand on this particular canon divergence because I had so many cute scenes in my head that hinged on the girls already having a history rather than kissing for the first time at various points in the original story.
