    Summary

    The Atlas Gauntlets do what they're supposed to. They were made to mine the Fissures, to move stone and dirt, to empower their wearer to carry objects they would never have the strength to lift on their own.

    Thousands of pounds of rock slam down and the gauntlets catch them. And Vi has to hold them up.

    Summary

    Kara knew a thing or two about loss. She knew it intimately. Slept beside it like a distant lover, a thin pillow between them.

    So she knew that when she watched from her place beside Lena as her best friend got married to Jack, it almost felt like being embraced by loss all over again. She tucked her head down, covered her face daintily as if her happiness for the now wedded couple was so overwhelming she had to swallow it back in.

    OR

    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

    Her wife had recently started a new job in the Emerald City, hence their new living situation. The new scenery was a bit strange still, but Glinda wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. She looked down at the glittering green city as she hummed. Sunset always lit up the semi-transparent buildings with the loveliest of colors. It reminded her of Elphaba’s skin in the mornings, glowing in dawn light as she slept.

    She plucked a few tomatoes from the plant on the windowsill, making a mental note to ask her wife to coax a few more flowers to grow. As the water boiled, she set out chopping and mixing in all the ingredients for their favorite sauce. Just as she set the mixture on to cook, the door clicked open.

    Elphaba walked in with a small bouquet of poppies, hanging her hat and broom on a peg by the wall and smiling.
    “Hello, my sweet.”

    //////////////////

    Or, Glinda and Elphaba have a new life in the Emerald City and everything is totally perfect. But Glinda finds that she wants more.
