Summary
multi-chapter // alternate universe // Elphaba POV // "It’s not that Elphaba doesn’t believe in something – an energy that moves around everyone, a force that compels people to act, to feel, to be, a guiding voice that lives in the beating of one’s heart – she’s just never been sure that it is as her father claims it to be."

Summary
This can’t be happening, Elphaba thinks, as she hears the gun discharge, the sharp crack cutting through the air like a knife. It’s a beautiful day, an unfairly beautiful day for violence. It's already been a terrible day too, and she never thought it could any worse. But Elphaba knows, deep in her heart, what is going to happen. There's no time to prevent it, even if her mind was thinking fast enough. Fiyero is too close. His aim is steady. His time in the Gale Force has taught him to be a weapon against the Wizard’s enemies. But he has never been a killer. Not until today, when he’s stressed from trying to figure out how to keep them all safe and his palms are sweaty and his finger slips.
The bullet launches itself from the barrel of his gun, embedding itself in Glinda's chest.
Or: while trying to protect Elphaba, Fiyero accidentally pulls the trigger. As they flee to Kiamo Ko with an injured Glinda in tow, Elphaba and Fiyero have to find a way to heal her and protect her from her enemies. And in the process, they need to set the record straight on a few things.

Summary
Galinda Upland is an up-and-coming architect with one of Oz' premier firms, Morrible & Diggs. She's most definitely straight. (But, still, she has sex with women and tells herself it doesn't count.)
Elphaba Thropp is the dour, antisocial chief legal counsel at the same firm. She's bi. She has needs. People aren't exactly lining up to date her, and Galinda is convenient, even if Elphaba knows better than to get involved with the most closeted woman she's ever met. (Besides, she's absolutely not looking for anything but sex.)
And thus, the arrangement.
Reader, you'll be shocked to find it goes off the rails.

Summary
In the midst of her grief Galinda's magic presents itself for the first time and sends her into the past to the day she met Elphaba. It's her chance to fix things, but something else is different this time. Where do they go from here?
~~
“I’m sorry.”
The words came out choked and she didn’t know what she had intended to follow them so any other words that might have been said died on her tongue. It was startlingly close to what she had said last time, though the meaning behind the words couldn’t be more different. Unfortunately, she knew immediately that though she felt completely changed on the inside, they came out in a remarkably similar tone to the last time as well.
She saw Elphaba’s eyes harden slightly and knew they had been received in the same way. Sorry you are like this. Sorry you’ve had to deal with being such a freak.
Galinda longed to let the rest of her words spill out into the open to try and make her understand.
I’m sorry I failed you. I’m sorry I didn’t see you immediately last time. I’m sorry I didn’t go with you when you asked. I’m sorry I never told you how loved you are.
