    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

    “I just wanted to say I had absolutely nothing to do with the changes. I mean honestly, when they asked for recommendations I asked if I could be alone,” Galinda starts, gesticulating as she talks, launching into something that can only generously be described as a ramble.

    More bewildered than anything, Elphaba can’t do anything but watch as words tumble forth from Galinda’s mouth, as she goes on and on, probably further attempting to absolve herself of any blame.

    Suddenly, Elphaba remembers that she hasn’t actually seen who her roommate is…

    And she’s got a sneaking suspicion that her assignment is standing right in front of her.

    (Or: stage management should be easy for Elphaba, but the actors seem to go out of their way to make it difficult— namely Galinda Upland, her new roommate, hellbent on disrupting every inch of Elphaba’s carefully-laid routine.)

    (Or or: sometimes you need enrichment time (extroverts adopting you) in your enclosure (stagemanaging a national tour))

    Summary

    "All of Oz thinks I’m dead.”
    “Not all of Oz,” Glinda said. Something like shame flickered across Elphaba’s green face. “Water, Elphaba, really?”
    “You know the rumors. Apparently I’m so wicked water can melt me.”
    “Well, I can agree that you’re wicked, but the rest of the sentiment is ridiculous.”

    Ten years after the melting, Glinda gets a visitor whom she is less than pleased (and unsurprised) to see.

    Summary

    When Mira — a sharp-eyed, sharp-tongued photographer with a restless mind — crosses paths with Zoey, her disarming and unpredictable new neighbor across the hall, everything begins to change. Navigating first impressions, awkward encounters, and stolen glances that say too much, they slowly find themselves drawn to each other by the subtle details of everyday life. It’s something neither fully understands, yet neither can ignore.

    Or

    A slow, gentle story about inner struggles, vulnerability, and a special kind of bond that blooms when two hearts live just a door apart.
