How Not to Flunk Your Way Through Shiz: A Side Character’s Survival Guide by ioiites

Summary
You didn’t just not peak in high school - you crash-landed straight into the pit. Your downfall started the second they shoved you into the ensemble after what was, frankly, an objectively amazing audition. But of course the leads went to the theater department nepo babies and the choir kids with parents who “donated” lighting equipment.
So yeah. You hated musicals now. Theatre, Broadway, all that good stuff - instant fight-or-flight. And when the Wicked movie promo was plastered everywhere for months? You were living in your own personal hell.
Which is exactly why the universe decided to clown on you and drop you into Oz of all places. And not as Glinda or Elphaba or even someone with a name. No, you woke up as a literal background extra who probably doesn’t even get listed in the program! The magical equivalent of “Girl #3.”
But you refused to get stuck in the ensemble ever again. Not here, not now. If fate was going to cast you as a nobody, fine - you’d just rewrite the script.
Even if it killed you, you were getting a line. Or two. (Maybe even a solo if the universe felt generous!)
Hell, while you're at it, you might even snag a love interest or two!

Summary
"The mathematics are quite simple," the Wizard continued with the satisfaction of a chess master announcing checkmate. "A marriage uniting both kingdoms, securing succession for Gillikin, and..." His smile turned calculating. "Your daughter's renowned charm could prove invaluable in making my Elphaba more... palatable to our subjects."

Summary
It felt like she was being torn apart. Blood rushed in her ears as her bones snapped and shifted, her skin stretching and pulling as her whole body broke and reformed. She’d never felt anything like this before.
When the pain finally stopped, she lay panting and shuddering against the freezing stone. Her nerves were still sparking and her heart felt like it was trying to burst from her chest.
In between pained breaths, she heard her voice, once comforting, now cold and sharp.
“Oh yes, I think she’s exactly what we were looking for. The perfect spy.”
~
When Galinda shows an affinity for shifting forms, her parents reach out to Madame Morrible to plead for help, not knowing that in doing so they were sealing their daughter’s fate. Five years spent in the Emerald City under watchful eyes has honed her skills as a spy, working for the Wizard against the Animal Rebellion. Thrust into a strange new world at Shiz, tasked with learning all she can about Doctor Dillamond, Galinda is faced with a reality she wasn’t prepared for. All she knew to do was… just keep breathing.

Summary
Children were tested early, and their aptitudes and affinities were sorted like clothing in a shop. Some fit neatly into one path, while others, like Galinda, straddled two.
She had been a natural fit for the ruling faction, her charm and wit practically a birthright in the Uplands. Her skill with a blade had secured her a place among the knights, too. But the wizard faction? That had always been out of reach.
She had shown little to no natural talent for magic, no sparks of the arcane to mark her as special. And yet, standing here now, she felt a pull she couldn’t quite explain.OR Fantasy AU wherein Galinda is a swordsmaiden.

Oh. Oh, no.
How in Oz did she end up having to live with her number one enemy at Shiz University?
