Summary
Galinda Upland has a plan for everything. That is, until she blurts out her workplace nemesis's name as her fake girlfriend to her overbearing mother.
Elphaba Thropp is brilliant and infuriating - and the only person who has ever seen through Galinda's perfect facade.
When Elphaba reluctantly agrees to help with the charade, Galinda knows they have just six weeks to make their fake relationship convincing. The deadline? The upcoming Emerald City Gala, where her charming ex-fiancé Fiyero awaits.

OR: Galinda lies about dating Elphaba and catches feelings about it.

Summary
She isn’t blind. She knows Clark has a crush on her. Everyone at the Planet knows that.
But the problem is, the feelings aren’t entirely one-sided. She can’t afford to be distracted, god knows that. Relationships are messy and she’s never been any good at it. Still, the way Clark Kent is staring at her, all too serious, filled with too much wounding devotion, she fears what he’s going to say because she’s always thought he’s perpetually one step shy of declaring his feelings for her — and she doesn’t entirely know what her response will be. Lois usually has her answers for everything.
He steps forward. “I need to tell you something, Lois. Something I should have told you a long time ago.”
And then, moving slowly, deliberately, he takes off his glasses — and just like that, Lois Lane’s entire world tilts off its axis.

Summary
She wants Beatrice to fingerprint her, to tattoo her, to leave a mark so deep not even the Halo can rid her of it. Her muscles feel too tight, stretched uncomfortably over her bones. There is something ravenous inside of her, and Beatrice is going to set it free.
You are the only thing I've ever lived for, Beatrice says.
You are the only thing I've ever died for, Ava says, and even that wasn't enough to keep me from you.

Summary
Beatrice finds herself musing not over duty and sacrifice and God, but the truth of angels, if they can be created rather than summoned. If they can take the form of women with overeager mouths and careless limbs and eyes with a depth that beckons - a crooked finger, a spiral staircase - if they can be both human and not, both beautiful and terrifying.
Ava asks, What do you want, Beatrice?
(Tell me and I’ll give it to you. Tell me and I’ll build you a home there. Tell me and I’ll rearrange the universe to make it all fit, angels and demons be damned. Tell me it’s me. Me. Me.)

Summary
Alicent spends her days wrangling senators and outmaneuvering political rivals. Rhaenyra spends hers explaining medieval politics to half-asleep undergrads. And Aegon? He’s somehow both their live-in babysitter and their biggest headache. Every day is filled with morning chaos, flirty texts, and bedtime stories. It’s messy, imperfect, and completely theirs.
