    Summary

    “What are you doing here?”

    “I should ask that of you. Seriously, Elphie, a religious convent? Who have you become?”

    “A ghost,” said Elphaba. “If I'm anything at all.”

    “You were always a ghost. Even back at Shiz, you were.”


    Or, Glinda visits the cloister of her namesake. Things spiral from there.

    Summary

    “Now, Miss Glinda.” Madame Morrible shoves the book back on the shelf. “Which side of this war will you be on? Mine? Or the dead’s?”

    Elphie’s. Glinda swallows. “Yours.”

    “Good.” Madame Morrible steps aside. “You may return to your dorm.”

    Glinda starts towards the door, then stops. “What if I run?”

    “You won’t.” Madame Morrible’s eyes glint in the glow of the green sky. “After all… you’re on our side. Aren’t you?”

     

    or,

     

    the aftermath of regretful separations.

    Summary

    Elphaba had handled silk before, in her brief tenure as a Quadling country shophand, but was unprepared for all the ways a body betrays its eagerness—the sighs, the rustling, the unexpected erotics in the rise and fall of the chest. How silk, like most fabrics, assumes the body heat of the wearer, so that it seemed to be a glimmering second skin. This is what water must feel like, she thought, and this is why everyone likes it so. She wanted to dive into Glinda and be herself cleansed, though of what she did not know. Her verderous original sin, maybe.

    Summary

    He exhales, tilting his head. "You’re anxious because I know about sex, and you don’t."
    "I know about sex!" Elphaba protests, sharper than she intends.
    He almost rolls his eyes but lets a smirk tug at his mouth instead. "Sure. The theory."
    "Yes. That is knowing."
    "That’s understanding, but not knowing," he pushes back. His voice dips lower, steady and deliberate.
    Elphaba stiffens, her shoulders tense, her gaze cutting into him, as she wants to argue, but the silence betrays her. He’s right, and they both know it.
